As a young girl, Ria managed to get over her parents' death through her favorite group's music and content which she considered her 'therapy'. She returns to the country five years later only to be faced with a blind date. Ria's initial reluctance to go on a blind date vanished immediately she saw her blind date partner. 'Good Lord, is it legal to be this handsome?' Her grandfather had set her up with the grandson of an old pal who looked decent and had a decent job. But it turned out to be Jay Rees, the CEO of Rees corporation. ........... For her, initially, it was his handsome facial features. For him, it was love at first sight.

Chapter 1 An Unexpected Loss

CHAPTER ONE - AN UNEXPECTED LOSS

Ria sat in her room, crouched over her desk, and focused on her sketchbook, her pencil moved across its pages. She was a girl whose world revolved around her art. It was her favorite thing to do besides listening to music.

Suddenly, she heard the loud ring of the house phone operating through the peaceful silence. Ria flinched out of shock, her pencil slipping and leaving a long, dark line across her sketch. She frowned, annoyed at the interruption. The phone rang again, its sound echoing through the house and reaching her ears loudly as the doors to her room were wide open.

Ria sighed, pushing her chair back and making her way downstairs. She wondered why no one answered the phone then she remembered that the butler and maids were given a day off. Her parents were out for the evening, leaving her alone with the old man who should be sleeping by this time or resting in his room.

She picked up the phone on the third ring, "Hello, Zevon residence."

The voice on the other end was filled with a great sense of urgency which made Ria scared and filled with terror. She listened to the person on the other end talk, her hand gripped the phone tighter with each word he said, and she became scared. The sketchbook, the comfort she had, the peaceful evening, everything faded into the background.

Her parents... there had been an accident.

Ria felt her knees go weak, the phone slipping from her hand. She sank to the floor, her mind distorted with thoughts and emotions. Her loving and peaceful world had just shattered.

"Ria?" The voice of her grandfather broke through her thoughts. The ringing of the phone must have woken him up and made him come out of his room. He looked at Ria, his face full of concern. He picked up the good phone which had slipped from Ria's hand and listened to the voice speak. He hung up the phone after listening, his heart was now filled with grief.

"Grandpa..." Ria looked up at him, her eyes filled with tears.

He pulled her into his arms, holding her tight. His voice was choked and sorrowful as he whispered to her ears, "It's okay, sweetheart. It's okay."

The old grandfather clock chimed, marking the beginning of her sorrows. Ria was no longer just a teenager engrossed in her art and showered with love from her parents. She was now a girl with her grandfather as her only family.

She was only seventeen, in her last year of high school. Her parents had shown her a lot of love and care, they scored her a lot.

Before they had left, she had seen them off, she did not expect it would be the last time she would see them.

With a heavy heart, she went up the stairs, her mind filled with the harsh reality of the sudden death of her parents. Her world had shattered at that moment and she felt like she was drowning in a sea of despair. She pushed open the door to her room, the familiar scent of rose and vanilla doing nothing to soothe her shattered spirit.

She lay on her bed, the soft fabric of her comforter doing little to comfort her. Tears streamed down her face, soaking the pillow beneath her. Her sobs echoed through the room, the only sound in the silent room.

Suddenly, she heard a soft melody echoing through the room. She lifted her head, her tear-streaked face reflecting confusion. The sound was coming from her phone, a notification from a music app. The new song from a newbie K-pop group she decided to follow had just been released.

Captivated, she wiped her tears and reached out for her phone. She played the song and the room was suddenly filled with a comforting melody. The song was a ballad, the lyrics speaking of loss, and pain, but also hope and resilience.

"Even when the rain falls, and the darkness swallows everything, remember that the dawn will come, and the sun will shine again," the lyrics echoed in her room, piercing through her shattered heart. The voice of the singer acting as a cushion to her sorrows.

She listened, and her tears subsided slowly as she immersed herself in the song. The lyrics resonated with her current situation, the words seemed to give her warmth, offering solace and comfort in her time of grief.

It reminded her of one of her favorite songs "Our dawn is hotter than day" by seventeen.

The song spoke of the anguish of losing a loved one, but it also spoke of the strength to move on with life despite it.

It was as if they were there with her, comforting her.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

I was three days away from marrying the Underboss of the Fazio crime family when I unlocked his burner phone. The screen glowed toxic bright in the dark next to my sleeping fiancé. A message from a contact saved as 'Little Trouble' read: "She is just a statue, Dante. Come back to bed." Attached was a photo of a woman lying in the sheets of his private office, wearing his shirt. My heart didn't break; it simply stopped. For eight years, I believed Dante was the hero who pulled me from a burning opera house. I played the perfect, loyal Mafia Princess for him. But heroes don't give their mistresses rare pink diamonds while giving their fiancées cubic zirconia replicas. He didn't just cheat. He humiliated me. He defended his mistress over his own soldiers in public. He even abandoned me on the side of the road on my birthday because she faked a pregnancy emergency. He thought I was weak. He thought I would accept the fake ring and the disrespect because I was just a political pawn. He was wrong. I didn't cry. Tears are for women who have options. I had a strategy. I walked into the bathroom and dialed a number I hadn't dared to call in a decade. "Speak," a voice like gravel growled on the other end. Lorenzo Moretti. The Capo of the rival family. The man my father called the Devil. "The wedding is off," I whispered, staring at my reflection. "I want an alliance with you, Enzo. And I want the Fazio family burned to the ground."

"Let's get married," Mia declares, her voice trembling despite her defiant gaze into Stefan's guarded brown eyes. She needs this, even if he seems untouchable. Stefan raises a skeptical brow. "And why would I do that?" His voice was low, like a warning, and it made her shiver even though she tried not to show it. "We both have one thing in common," Mia continues, her gaze unwavering. "Shitty fathers. They want to take what's ours and give it to who they think deserves it." A pointed pause hangs in the air. "The only difference between us is that you're an illegitimate child, and I'm not." Stefan studies her, the heiress in her designer armor, the fire in her eyes that matches the burn of his own rage. "That's your solution? A wedding band as a weapon?" He said ignoring the part where she just referred to him as an illegitimate child. "The only weapon they won't see coming." She steps closer, close enough for him to catch the scent of her perfume, gunpowder and jasmine. "Our fathers stole our birthrights. The sole reason they betrayed us. We join forces, create our own empire that'll bring down theirs." A beat of silence. Then, Stefan's mouth curves into something sharp. "One condition," he murmurs, closing the distance. "No divorces. No surrenders. If we're doing this, it's for life" "Deal" Mia said without missing a beat. Her father wants to destroy her life. She wouldn't give him the pleasure, she would destroy her life as she seems fit. ................ Two shattered heirs. One deadly vow. A marriage built on revenge. Mia Meyers was born to rule her father's empire (so she thought), until he named his bastard son heir instead. Stefan Sterling knows the sting of betrayal too. His father discarded him like trash. Now the rivals' disgraced children have a poisonous proposal: Marry for vengeance. Crush their fathers' legacies. Never speak of divorce. Whoever cracks first loses everything. Can these two rivals, united by their vengeful hearts, pull off a marriage of convenience to reclaim what they believe is rightfully theirs? Or will their fathers' animosity, and their own complicated pasts tear their fragile alliance apart?
