It's a beautiful evening with the sunsetting in the early month of January, Max is on her way back from classes when suddenly she gets hit by a football being play across the street.

"Hey watch the direction you are kicking your ball to," came a calm voice from the young girl who had just been hit by the ball across the street,Cain rushes over to get the ball when he meet the young girl hit by it , stunned by her beauty he throws the ball back to his teammates and takes am excuse to leave the match.

"Wow!" was the first word that came out of his mouth as he approached her, could he be mistaken it looked like her, no! it is her he said to himself. "Please excuse me," she slowed down a bit to see the stranger that approached her, "yes how may I help you," she answers Cain mustered the courage to talk as he replied, "sorry on behalf of the team, that our football hit you it wasn't intentional." "That's not a problem," she replied about to take her leave when he starts to pick a conversation. "Where are you headed to maybe I could escort you a bit, who knows it could be my direction." "Oh trying to be a gentleman I see well headed to Brock's lane if you don't mind." "Sure after you. By the way am Cain and you are" 'as he extends a handshake' "Maxwella but you can call me Max and I'll be on my way now, I need no knight in shining armor." "If you say so then but maybe next time I'll be that knight in shining armor bye for now ."

Max takes her leave headed for home. She begins to day dream about Cain his hair as dark as the moonless night, such smoothness from the way he talked,his eyes were brown how she wished he escorts her home, his body had hairs all over like a foreigner , she couldn't help but to take a look at his walking step, he walked like a knight truly, those masculine fitness could be put into some good use.

Cain wandering to himself could this day get any better he just hoped to meet her again,her eyes like a princess only seen on TV, her lips were red and wet, to add it all up, she had a shape for princesses.

"Can't wait to see you again." He tells himself as he walks back to his teammates,

"Hey , where you leave to," "just had a walk I guess, am done for the day see you guy's later."

"I certainly hope she comes around again."

Meanwhile, "what is keeping her so long outside she should be back from class by now, Ojo ," came a loud voice from inside the house, "go check what's keeping your sister outside for so long," "ok ma." replied Ojo.

Just as he was about to open the gate came Max, "oh I was just on my way to call you, mum needs your services in the house," "and what have you been doing young man," she answers him, "well, I've been doing a lot actually, namely, sleeping, eating, sleeping," "you must be joking." as she pursues him in to the house, "you can't catch me brags Ojo as he speeds in to his room and locks the door."

"Please come help me set the table" called Mrs Williams to the children, "your dad would be home soon , so please get ready."

Cain just arrived home, and it's getting late "I'll had better go look for something to eat " he said to him self as he walked in to the shower to take a bath.

**Some minutes later.

She quickly rushes to get to the person at the door , as she opens it it's her dad, she welcomes him in as she takes his bag from him, "who is at my door" came the voice again as Max replied' "your husband is back"

"Please Max when you keep the bag I need you to go get me some vegetables from the vegetable store across the street, and please hurry up." Said Max's dad.

"Ok dad," replies Max.

"Dad am done, so what do you need," "some carrots and potatoes, that's all." "Ok then I'll be on my way," says Max as she takes her leave, soon she gets to the store and tries to hurry up in buying the items she needs.

Cain is almost done buying what he needs as he begins to walk to the counter, as he gets there the cashier starts to check his items when Max joins him.

"Wow so we meet again," says Cain as Max drops her items on the counter, "add these also to my bill" says Cain to the cashier, when Max stops him saying she can pay for her self, "well it's fine by me if you say so," replied Cain, "thanks for the kind gesture" said Max .

The cashier is done attending to both of them as they walk out of the store together with Cain holding out the door, "if you don't mind I would love to walk you home," said Cain, "fine but just this once," replied Max. As they both begin walking in the same direction into the night.

I had been a wife for exactly six hours when I woke up to the sound of my husband’s heavy breathing. In the dim moonlight of our bridal suite, I watched Hardin, the man I had adored for years, intertwined with my sister Carissa on the chaise lounge. The betrayal didn't come with an apology. Hardin stood up, unashamed, and sneered at me. "You're awake? Get out, you frumpy mute." Carissa huddled under a throw, her fake tears already welling up as she played the victim. They didn't just want me gone; they wanted me erased to protect their reputations. When I refused to move, my world collapsed. My father didn't offer a shoulder to cry on; he threatened to have me committed to a mental asylum to save his business merger. "You're a disgrace," he bellowed, while the guards stood ready to drag me away. They had spent my life treating me like a stuttering, submissive pawn, and now they were done with me. I felt a blinding pain in my skull, a fracture that should have broken me. But instead of tears, something dormant and lethal flickered to life. The terrified girl who walked down the aisle earlier that day simply ceased to exist. In her place, a clinical system—the Valkyrie Protocol—booted up. My racing heart plummeted to a steady sixty beats per minute. I didn't scream. I stood up, my spine straightening for the first time in twenty years, and looked at Hardin with the detachment of a surgeon looking at a tumor. "Correction," I said, my voice stripped of its stutter. "You're in my light." By dawn, I had drained my father's accounts, vanished into a storm, and found a bleeding Crown Prince in a hidden safehouse. They thought they had broken a mute girl. They didn't realize they had just activated their own destruction.

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."

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.
