Despite the circumstances surrounding their love will forever really be the deal?

Chapter 1 First date

7pm, one alluring night.

While everyone were in a rush to go home to meet their loved ones or to kiss their beds, Ava reeves was on her way to a restaurant to meet a date she met online. Tired she closed her eyes but she got there in no time and the driver informed her of their arrival , she paid her cab fare and highlighted getting ready to enter the restaurant.

She entered the restaurant and found her date, a tall man with broad shoulders and a stoic face waiting for her at their table, with her heart pounding she walked towards the table and brought out her hand to introduce herself once more and he returned the favour.

"Let's just cut to the chase Ava, do you want to get married"? Ava was stunned and couldn't find her voice, "You're really funny haha" ava laughed then she looked at him and he just stared at her "I'm sorry but this is our first time meeting , I can't possibly marry you, heck I don't even know you" ava responded, "it doesn't have to be a marriage with love in it , it's a marriage of convenience and trust me you'll benefit a lot" Curtis said.

Ava heaved a sigh of disappointment and stood up to leave but Curtis stopped her "please I'm begging you, we can get divorce whenever you want not just right now" Curtis said

"Why are we even talking about marriage on our first date " ava cried " why do I keep meeting freaks?"

"My nana actually picked you for me, I've never been on any dating app, she set this one up in hopes of meeting you, I've never really had any time for relationships and she's been hassling me "

Curtis pleaded, " ok fine , but if you're not a good person then I'm not staying with you for long"

" that's fine, I'll try my best , see you tomorrow at city Hall then. A bright light from nowhere shone on Curtis and just then Ava immediately stopped eating to admire the god infront of her , " damn this guy is cute" ava thought.

By 9pm they bade their farewells and departed leaving ava wondering how her life will look like going forward.

The next day , Ava woke up grumpy forgetting she had something important she was going to do then by 7:30 am she remembered and rushed to dress up before arriving at city Hall.

By the time she arrived, Curtis was there already, waiting for her. They entered inside city Hall with their documents and registered their marriage, Ava was gloomy because she was wondering what she got herself into and almost went into coma when she saw Curtis's grandma , she was the lady she saved from choking on her food almost a year ago and her neighbour in her apartment.

"Nana, what are you doing here?" Ava asked

"Oh dear , I'm here to see you and my grandson finally getting married, you know dear , I've been preparing for this day for almost a year now" Ava was beyond shocked but swallowed it and was a little relieved it was nana Grace , her neighbour

"But how are you living close to me ?" Ava wondered , "worry no more dear, its now in the past" nana Grace laughed

Ava nervously looked at curtis before asking, "well now we're married i guess I'll have to give you your space since you did it for nana Grace. However, I have two simple requests I hope you can promise to abide by."

"Speak!" Curtis responded tiredly as walked down the stairs.

"Firstly, unless you have no choice, do not reveal our relationship. Secondly, do not interfere in my personal matters. Do not worry, since we are married, I will never get close to another man."

After listening to Ava's requests, Curtis gave a slight smirk. A dangerous aura swept through the air, "I promise you but, after I give you some time to tidy up your past, I want us to have a trial marriage. After 3 months, I will publicly announce our marriage."

"Very well then" Ava nodded.

"Also...I don't believe a married couple should live separately! I'll give you a day to pack all your belongings and move to a place of my choice. My assistant will be in touch with you."

"Your assistant?" " well no problem then "MR BIG SHOT" haha ". Since they were now married, a request like this was reasonable. So she agreed with him besides she was tired of paying rent

"Good!"

After the two made their verbal agreement, Ava and curtis left to their various destinations. Curtis's assistant sat himself in the driver's seat and looked at Curtis through the rearview mirror, "President, shall we return to the office? Or would you like to return to the mansion to tell the chairman the news?"

"Follow Ava and report her every move to me!" Curtis ordered before stepping out of the car, "she seems very free spirited like she's lost something she can never recover"

As the president of an international enterprise, of course it was weird for him to marry someone on the first date. But he agreed with his nana after seeing her because she looked peaceful and she was beautiful so it wasn't really an issue.

Curtis chuckled suddenly, his nana really had a good eye for good things or in this scenario a good woman , she didn't seem to have any issue so he was cool with having her around.

Ava arrived at her boutique that morning but it was open already all thanks to Mia, her best friend, they were both owners of the boutique and they sold high quality wears for all genders.

Ava and Mia have been friends since their university days and it grew stronger with time, Mia was more of the extrovert while Ava was an introvert with a self esteem of 4 , so Mia was her backbone.

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.

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.

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.
