Chapter 1 Haunted by the Past

Dorathy sat down on the chair, silently pressing her phone, trying to keep herself busy. She felt nervous and scared. Getting this job was like a dream come true for her.

She had heard that the boss was handsome, arrogant, and very strict, but she was willing to deal with it. She sighed loudly, and a smile spread across her face when she saw her best friend Steve calling her.

"Hey," she whispered softly as she answered the call.

"Are you at the interview now?" Steve asked from the other end of the phone.

"Yeah, I just got here," she replied, and almost immediately a girl rushed out crying, causing her to gulp nervously while some of the other girls laughed.

Some of the girls were dressed provocatively, which made Dorathy worried. She wasn't even dressed properly, so how could she stand out among the thousands of pretty girls here?

"Dorathy South," she heard her name being called, and she gulped nervously.

"Hey, I need to go," she said and ended the call.

As she stood up, the girls burst into laughter.

"I can't believe this person came for an interview," one of the girls said, glaring at her with hatred.

She rubbed her sweaty hands together, breathing heavily. She was so scared. She took a deep breath before pushing the door softly.

Accidentally, she bumped her nose on the door, causing her to wince in pain as she looked around.

The office was really pretty. There were two chairs and a table filled with books and files.

The walls were painted white with a touch of red, giving it a pleasant look.

She continued looking around and accidentally hit the table, making her groan in pain. Suddenly, she noticed someone sitting on a chair with their back facing her.

"Good day, sir," she greeted, her heart beating rapidly, but he didn't answer her.

"Get out," he said in a harsh voice, and she scoffed, staring at him, confused.

Jimmy was a man who thought he knew best. He hadn't asked any of them questions; all he wanted was a girl who could satisfy his needs.

"What... what?" she stuttered, and almost immediately, he turned around in his chair to face her. Dorathy lowered her head, feeling scared to look at him.

"Get out now," he yelled but stopped as he stared at her.

His eyes revealed something else; he looked confused as he gazed at the small figure in front of him.

"Dora?" he called softly, and that was when she raised her head to look at him. Her blood froze immediately when she saw him.

Her eyes widened with visible shock as she stared at him.

"Jimmy?" she called in disbelief, tears gathering in her eyes, but she quickly wiped them away. She didn't want to remind him that she was still the girl he had broken.

He stood up from the chair, causing Dorathy to move back, and immediately she rushed towards the door.

But before she could make an attempt to run out, he caught her, trapping her between the walls.

He examined her carefully and then chuckled.

"You're still the same little Eve I know," he clicked his tongue while she just sniffed, avoiding his gaze.

"Aren't you happy to see me?" he asked teasingly, tracing her neck. Her eyes widened, and she tried to push him away, but she couldn't, and he smirked.

"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?
