Chapter 1 I

My name is Sofía Miller, I'm 18 years old and I've lived in Spain since I was 15, my country of origin is Venezuela. The economic situation in my country made my mother and I move to Palma de Mallorca. I admit that it was difficult to adapt to this country and the new people. Today, like every day I had to go to school, my alarm went off at six fifteen in the morning. I went to my mother's room to see if she was still at home, but as always she was working. With melancholy I left his room and went to the kitchen to prepare my breakfast, toast with butter and a fried egg.

I went to the bathroom to clean up and then put on jeans, a white shirt and my Air Force.

When I was ready, I left my apartment to go to school. I was leaving the house about three days ago and I felt like someone was watching me, although I looked everywhere and didn't see anyone suspicious, I knew they were following me, or at least that's what I felt. When I arrived at school, I was a little late. When I entered my room, the first thing I saw was my best friend, he looked very different. He had dark circles under his eyes, he looked like he had been crying all night and this was accompanied by a face that looked like he hadn't slept at all. Ever since I met him, I have worried about him. I walked quickly so that the teacher wouldn't scold me for being late and at the same time talk to Alex.

-What's wrong with you? I asked him after sitting down.

-My mother, yesterday we went to the doctor and they detected a tumor. I need a huge amount of money to do all the tests, and not only that, also for the treatment. I am sincerely sorry that everything is wrong. -He told me and let out a sob.

-I'm sorry, don't be like that, together we will find a solution, as we always do. -I told him and gave him a smile.

-I don't think there is an easy solution, I want to be alone, I won't go to your house after school to do my science homework, I don't feel in a good mood. -He told me and I frowned, it was the first time he treated me so badly.

I tried not to pay attention to him all day. I ate lunch alone in the cafeteria and then went home alone. Something very strange was happening, to distract myself a little I put a movie on Netflix and ordered a vegetarian pizza for delivery. If Alex didn't want to come and do the project, I wouldn't do it just so he could get points that weren't his. It was obvious that the bad treatment he gave me also bothered me. Without realizing it I fell asleep, the sound of my mother's door and keys woke me up.

-I thought you would already be sleeping in your room, Sofia. -My mother told me, she seemed surprised.

-No, I started watching a movie and fell asleep. -I replied, narrowing my eyes.

-Did you do the science project? -My mother asked.

-No, I don't want to talk about it either. -She told him.

-Aren't you going to explain to me? -He asked me and I answered just because I wanted to vent.

-I arrived at class and Alex looked different. It turns out that his mother had a tumor, I tried to comfort him and said that we would find a solution. For the first time, he responded horribly and said he wouldn't come home to do the project and that I wouldn't do it alone. -I told him as I walked to my room dragging my sheet.

-It's not good for you to judge people, Sofia, maybe she feels really bad for her mother. -My mother told me.

-No, I felt very bad about many things throughout my life and I never treated him badly because of it, people have to know how to control their emotions. No one has to put up with mistreatment from anyone. -I responded angrily and locked myself in my room.

-Don't worry about me Sofia, I wanted to let you know that I won't be able to spend the weekend with you. I agreed to go to a hotel on the beach with a man I met on Tinder. -He said outside my room.

-I do not care!

-Whenever you have to stay with me you come up with other damn plans, or rather, you raise her so she doesn't stay with me. What kind of mother are you? - I shouted at him leaving the room, from the expression on his face he seemed happy to leave and not stay with me. I grabbed my keys and left the apartment. My intention was to go to my best friend's house.

-Where are you going? -I wonder.

-You're not interested, why don't you go write to men on Tinder? They are more important than your own daughter. -I responded angrily and then left.

Already in the elevator the tears started to come, I didn't deserve the bad treatment my mother gave me, just when I thought that since it was the weekend I would have time for myself, I was completely disappointed. My mother works in a bar, as a waitress, according to her, but from the smell she smells every time she comes home, I know she is dedicated to something else. My life hadn't been easy at all, my mother wasn't in love with my father and didn't even love him when she got pregnant with me, most of the time I think I remember, well, I was an accident, something that wasn't planned. For this same reason my father decided not to take care of me and although most of the time I pretend it doesn't hurt, it's something that I still can't heal within myself.

The elevator doors opened, making me stop thinking about the things that hurt me, for the fifth time in a week the feeling that someone was following me continued. Before leaving the building I looked everywhere, but I didn't see anyone, so I thought it was just me. I walked to the other side of the street where there were always one or two taxi drivers, I wanted them to take me to my best friend's house. When I finished crossing the street, I heard footsteps behind me, and before I could turn around to see who it was, they put a cloth over my face and five seconds later I saw everything white.

The Billionaire's Cold And Bitter Betrayal

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

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.

I sat in the gray, airless room of the New York State Department of Corrections, my knuckles white as the Warden delivered the news. "Parole denied." My father, Howard Sterling, had forged new evidence of financial crimes to keep me behind bars. He walked into the room, smelling of expensive cologne, and tossed a black folder onto the steel table. It was a marriage contract for Lucas Kensington, a billionaire currently lying in a vegetative state in the ICU. "Sign it. You walk out today." I laughed at the idea of being sold to a "corpse" until Howard slid a grainy photo toward me. It showed a toddler with a crescent-moon birthmark—the son Howard told me had died in an incubator five years ago. He smiled and told me the boy's safety depended entirely on my cooperation. I was thrust into the Kensington estate, where the family treated me like a "drowned rat." They dressed me in mothball-scented rags and mocked my status, unaware that I was monitoring their every move. I watched the cousin, Julian, openly waiting for Lucas to die to inherit the empire, while the doctors prepared to sign the death certificate. I didn't understand why my father would lie about my son’s death for years, or what kind of monsters would use a child as a bargaining chip. The injustice of it burned in my chest as I realized I was just a pawn in a game of old money and blood. As the monitors began to flatline and the family started to celebrate their inheritance, I locked the door and reached into the hem of my dress. I pulled out the sharpened silver wires I’d fashioned in the prison workshop. They thought they bought a submissive convict, but they actually invited "The Saint"—the world’s most dangerous underground surgeon—into their home. "Wake up, Lucas. You owe me a life." I wasn't there to be a bride; I was there to wake the dead and burn their empire to the ground.
