Chapter 1 1

Samantha

"Happy Birthday, Sam!"

I raised my red solo cup into the air and let out a wild laugh as my friends cheered for me.

Today was proving to be my best birthday yet, hands down.

My friends had planned a rager for me in the woods just outside our small town of Greenswood.

A bonfire blazed, and several kegs had been tapped.

I was feeling good and tipsy and happy as I danced to the music blaring from someone's pick-up.

I was eighteen at last. A woman! The future was mine for the taking, or some sentimental crap like that.

Whatever. I didn't have to think about that just yet. I just wanted to enjoy my party and forget about everything else.

Smiling, I spun in place and screamed out the lyrics to the song that was playing.

Suddenly, I noticed a familiar figure emerging from the surrounding trees.

He was tall, with shaggy blonde hair and familiar golden eyes. Eyes that were just like mine. I came to a stop. It took a few moments for my vision to clear, but when it did, I let out a squeal of delight.

"Jason!" I threw my cup to the ground and rushed forward. "You came!"

Chuckling, he opened his arms as I threw myself into them.

"Of course I did," he told me. "Couldn't miss my baby sister's birthday party, could I?"

I gazed up at him with wide eyes. "Don't tell Mom and Dad! They can't know I'm drinking!"

Chucking me under my chin, he said, "Don't worry. I won't tell. Just don't do anything stupid, all right?"

"Stupid? What could I do that's stupid?"

Before Jason could answer, another person stepped up beside him. Startled, I turned my gaze and froze.

"Wh-what are you doing here?" I murmured.

My brother's companion gave me a small smile.

I often dreamed of that smile, as well as the sparkling, blue eyes gazing at me. He was slightly taller than my brother, with dark brown hair and wide shoulders. He was the most handsome man I'd ever seen, and I had been all but obsessed with him since the age of twelve.

"Don't be rude, Sam," Jason teased, smacking me lightly on the head. "Ryan wanted to wish you a happy birthday. Say thank you."

I swallowed and gazed up at Ryan Carson, my brother's best friend, and my longtime secret crush.

"Than-thank you," I murmured, feeling suddenly shy despite the alcohol buzzing through me. I always felt shy around him. It was frustrating as hell, because I wasn't a shy person by nature. I was outgoing and social. The life of the party, really, but when it came to Ryan...

I was a crumpling, awkward mess.

"Seems like you've been having fun," Ryan said with a smirk, looking at me in a way that made me melt.

I blushed and nervously tucked a stray strand of hair behind my ear.

"Ye-yeah," I stammered, my lips twitching into a goofy, little grin. "It's been a good party. Lots of fun."

"Glad to hear it." He chuckled.

I gulped. There was something I wanted to ask him. Something I'd been wanting to ask him for a long time but had never had the courage to say.

At that moment, though, the words were on the tip of my tongue, on the verge of spilling from my lips before I could stop them.

Luckily, before I could mutter a single word, Jason clapped Ryan on the shoulder and said, "Let's go get a drink. I'm going to need one to hang out with all these kids."

Ryan chuckled and nodded before flashing me another smile.

"Don't let us get in the way of your fun," he said with a wink.

Struck speechless, I watched as he and Jason walked toward one of the kegs. I couldn't seem to take my eyes off him. He was just so...perfect.

I let out an unbidden giggle.

"Sam! What are you doing? Snap out of it, space cadet!"

Blinking, I turned just in time to catch my friend, Jessica, rushing toward me with a wild grin. She threw her arms around my neck and laughed.

"What? Sorry!" I exclaimed, shaking my head. "I, uh, guess I'm more buzzed than I thought."

Jessica glanced in the direction I had been staring and her mouth dropped open and realization dawned on her face.

"Ahhhh, I see." She grinned. Turning her gaze back to me, she wiggled her eyebrows. "I see your Prince Charming has arrived. I thought he and Jason were still at school?"

"Fall break," I murmured, my gaze finding its way back to Ryan. "I knew they were coming home, but it never crossed my mind that they'd come here."

Jessica let me go and moved to stand beside me. We watched the two older men for several moments in thoughtful silence.

"Are you going to tell him?" Jessica asked after a while.

I scoffed. "Are you kidding me? No way!"

"Why not?" Jessica questioned. "It's the perfect night for it! You're legal, you're tipsy, and he's here and available."

"You don't know he's available. Maybe he's got a girlfriend back at college."

The mere thought had jealousy shooting through me, and I clenched my hands into fists at my sides. Jessica snorted.

"Right, I doubt he has a single girlfriend," she replied. "He's probably got a harem built up by now."

I scowled at my friend. "Don't say things like that. He's not that kind of guy."

"Right, right, he's perfect." Jessica chuckled and shrugged. "Not a manwhore at all, despite the many rumors saying otherwise. It doesn't matter, though. If you're going to make a move, you've got to do it tonight. You'll never get a chance like this again!"

"I don't know why you think I have a chance at all!" I exclaimed. "He hardly knows I exist. If he weren't Jason's friend, I'd be totally invisible to him."

"That's not true," Jessica insisted. "I've seen the way he looks at you. He's totally interested."

I gave her a skeptical look. "Bullshit."

Shaking her head, Jessica said, "No! I swear. I've seen it. There were a few times at your house that I spotted him watching you when you weren't paying attention."

I blinked, stunned. "Why didn't you ever tell me that?"

"I didn't want you to get worked up," Jessica explained. "But honestly, I think you have a chance tonight. Come on. Do it! For your birthday!"

Chewing my lip nervously, I let my gaze stray to where Ryan and my brother were standing.

"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?

For seventeen years, I was the crown jewel of the Kensington empire, the perfect daughter groomed for a royal future. Then, a cream-colored envelope landed in my lap, bearing a gold crest and a truth that turned my world into ice. The DNA test result was a cold, hard zero percent-I wasn't a Kensington. Before the ink could even dry, my parents invited my replacement, a girl named Alleen, into the drawing room and treated me like a trespasser in my own home. My mother, who once hosted galas in my honor, wouldn't even look me in the eye as she stroked Alleen's arm, whispering that she was finally "safe." My father handed me a one-million-dollar check-a mere tip for a billionaire-and told me to leave immediately to avoid tanking the company's stock price. "You're a thief! You lived my life, you spent my money, and you don't get to keep the loot!" Alleen shrieked, trying to claw the designer jacket off my shoulders while my "parents" watched with clinical detachment. I was dumped on a gritty sidewalk in Queens with nothing but three trunks and the address of a struggling laborer I was now supposed to call "Dad." I traded a marble mansion for a crumbling walk-up where the air smelled of exhaust and my new bedroom was a literal storage closet. My biological family thought I was a broken princess, and the Kensingtons thought they had successfully erased me with a payoff and a non-disclosure agreement. They had no idea that while I was hauling trunks up four flights of stairs, my secret media empire was already preparing to move against them. As I sat on a thin mattress in the dark, I opened my encrypted laptop and sent a single command that would cost my former father ten million dollars by breakfast. They thought they were throwing me to the wolves, but they forgot one thing: I'm the one who leads the pack.

I was four months pregnant, weighing over two hundred pounds, and my heart was failing from experimental treatments forced on me as a child. My doctor looked at me with clinical detachment and told me I was in a death sentence: if I kept the baby, I would die, and if I tried to remove it, I would die. Desperate for a lifeline, I called my father, Francis Acosta, to tell him I was sick and pregnant. I expected a father's love, but all I got was a cold, sharp blade of a voice. "Then do it quietly," he said. "Don't embarrass Candi. Her debutante ball is coming up." He didn't just reject me; he erased me. My trust fund was frozen, and I was told I was no longer an Acosta. My fiancé, Auston, had already discarded me, calling me a "bloated whale" while he looked for a thinner, wealthier replacement. I left New York on a Greyhound bus, weeping into a bag of chips, a broken woman the world considered a mistake. I couldn't understand how my own father could tell me to die "quietly" just to save face for a party. I didn't know why I had been a lab rat for my family’s pharmaceutical ambitions, or how they could sleep at night while I was left to rot in the gray drizzle of the city. Five years later, the doors of JFK International Airport slid open. I stepped onto the marble floor in red-soled stilettos, my body lean, lethal, and carved from years of blood and sweat. I wasn't the "whale" anymore; I was a ghost coming back to haunt them. With my daughter by my side and a medical reputation that terrified the global elite, I was ready to dismantle the Acosta empire piece by piece. "Tell Francis to wash his neck," I whispered to the skyline. "I'm home."
