Haunted by the shadows of love and the twists of destiny, Olivia found herself at the heart of New York City, determined to embark on a new chapter. Embracing a fresh start, she stepped into the role of Lucas Adams's assistant, a man whose tall stature, youth, and brooding demeanor captured attention. From the start, Olivia felt a strong pull towards Lucas, like fate had connected them. But Olivia resisted this attraction, aware of the complications that arise when you fall for the wrong man. Lucas, in this case, was like a package marked with danger, the kind you should be cautious about and stay away from. Lucas had a tough past, making him not trust women, thinking they only cared about money. Despite this, he couldn't resist being drawn to Olivia. She was a mix of everything that annoyed him at work but became the best thing to see in the morning. She was clumsy and always on the move, adding a unique charm to the office routine. But he knew better than to trust a woman and break his heart all over again...he avoided her at any cost. In the heart of New York's bustling chaos, their journey unfolded – a sweet, but forbidden love where the universe seemed to conspire against their union. Lucas, grappling with his ingrained distrust, found an inexplicable connection with Olivia that challenged his beliefs.

Chapter 1 Prologue

The accident took a toll on me but most of all leaving behind all alone is worse because your soulmate thought of you as a burden. So he did the best he could do. He ran away the first chance he got.

That bastard not only broke my heart but also left with all my savings and stole my car for which I still have to pay installments because it's in my name.

I thought I was broken after my accident but when he didn't come to see me I realized it hurt more than broken bones.

I wish he had come to me and told me how he felt about my accident. I know doctors said my walking skills could hinder forever or the tremble in my hand could turn worse but I believed in myself. I knew I could make it but I guess he didn't believe in 'me' or in 'us' anymore.

Six months later;

"I am going to New York," I told my parents once I recovered from several physiotherapy sessions. A little tremor in my left hand was all left from my past. But I have come to terms with it. I know I can't give up just because my one hand slightly trembles when I get nervous, stressed, or when I am angry.

My parents looked at me as if I had grown two heads.

"Why do you wanna leave?" My mum asked when she realized I am serious about my decision. My dad didn't speak a word, he waited for me to clear my point.

"I don't know what should I tell you Mama that would make you feel at ease but the truth is I cant feel anything here. I can't live with my past and if I start working here I won't be able to move on. I think moving to a new place would be good for me." I explained softly. Hoping they both understand my position and don't stop me from leaving.

My dad got up and stood in front of me and held my hands softly as he noticed the trembling in my hand as I was stressed about their decision.

"You should never feel that we won't support you when you are thinking to grow and progress in your life Oli. We will always be there and we know how difficult this whole year has been for you." He said softly it instantly calmed me. I hugged him tightly.

"If you think you need to leave this town and go to New York then that's what you should do." He said with determination. My mother also agreed.

Now I only have to inform my brothers that I am going. I have three older brothers. I am the youngest sister and everyone worries about me a lot.

I smiled looking at my parents and thanked them for understanding and supporting me through my decision. I informed them about the appointment letter I got yesterday that stated I cleared the interview for Mr. Adam's assistant at Adams Publishing Company.

Soon I packed my bags and I left for New York leaving every bad memory behind. I hope leaving for a New state would be the best decision.

"I just didn't know what New York had in store for me. I met my Brown-eyed brute, The one who found me!"

New York, here I come!

"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?

Contract With The Devil: Love In Shackles

I watched my husband sign the papers that would end our marriage while he was busy texting the woman he actually loved. He didn't even glance at the header. He just scribbled the sharp, jagged signature that had signed death warrants for half of New York, tossed the file onto the passenger seat, and tapped his screen again. "Done," he said, his voice devoid of emotion. That was Dante Moretti. The Underboss. A man who could smell a lie from a mile away but couldn't see that his wife had just handed him an annulment decree disguised beneath a stack of mundane logistics reports. For three years, I scrubbed his blood out of his shirts. I saved his family's alliance when his ex, Sofia, ran off with a civilian. In return, he treated me like furniture. He left me in the rain to save Sofia from a broken nail. He left me alone on my birthday to drink champagne on a yacht with her. He even handed me a glass of whiskey—her favorite drink—forgetting that I despised the taste. I was merely a placeholder. A ghost in my own home. So, I stopped waiting. I burned our wedding portrait in the fireplace, left my platinum ring in the ashes, and boarded a one-way flight to San Francisco. I thought I was finally free. I thought I had escaped the cage. But I underestimated Dante. When he finally opened that file weeks later and realized he had signed away his wife without looking, the Reaper didn't accept defeat. He burned down the world to find me, obsessed with reclaiming the woman he had already thrown away.
