Out of pity, I rescued Jaycob who was abandoned by his family from the hands of the villain. He swore to always treat me well. But after he was recognized by his family, I overheard him talking to his friends: "Jennifer? Just a loveless old woman, approaching me with a purpose. If she hadn't actually saved me, she wouldn't even have the right to stay by my side." I realized that this is how he sees me. I stayed away from him as he wished. But Jaycob regretted it, with red eyes he begged softly, "Jenny, you said you wouldn't reject me."

Chapter 1 1

Chapter 1

Moved by compassion, I rescued Jaycob, who had been abandoned by his family, from the criminals.

He swore he would always be good to me.

But after he was taken back by his family, I overheard him telling his friends:

"Jennifer? Just a lonely older woman who approached me with ulterior motives. If she hadn't saved me, she wouldn't even have the right to stay by my side."

It was then that I realized this was how he saw me.

I distanced myself from him as he wished.

But Jaycob regretted it. With eyes brimming with tears, he pleaded softly, "Jenny, you said you wouldn't leave me."

After handing over the cat carrier to the client, I was about to head downstairs. Just as the elevator doors were closing, a familiar figure flashed before my eyes. I paused for a moment. Jaycob. Wasn't he supposed to be on a business trip to Zlagos?

Almost impulsively, I reopened the elevator doors and followed him. The corridors of the Rusall Club twisted and turned, and as I approached a private room, I heard Jaycob's friend's voice from inside.

"Jaycob, aren't you supposed to be marrying into the Smith family? What about your girlfriend?"

My hand, which was about to knock on the door, hesitated, and my heart inexplicably skipped a beat. Through the slightly ajar door, I saw Jaycob, who had never smoked in front of me, flick his cigarette. He let out a cold laugh and said, "Jennifer? She's just an emotionally distant woman who approached me with ulterior motives. If she hadn't saved my life, she wouldn't even have the right to stay by my side."

It felt like my heart was being ruthlessly squeezed. I could hardly believe my ears. I stared at Jaycob in a daze. But his face showed no emotion, and the gentle eyes I once knew now looked particularly cold.

Another friend teased, "Jaycob just reconciled with his family. How could he give up the marriage with the Smith family for someone like Jennifer at this critical moment?"

"Exactly, Jennifer, who spends all her time with pets, probably carries a peculiar smell. How could she compare to the Smith family's eldest daughter?"

Jaycob absentmindedly rubbed the wine glass, not bothering to refute. I felt a chill run down my spine, the suffocating feeling spreading overwhelmingly.

I was standing in the center of the gallery, holding a glass of expensive champagne, when the screens behind me flickered and my life ended. It was supposed to be an art unveiling, but the monitors shifted to fake footage of me handing evidence to the FBI. My fiancé, Ethan, looked at me like I was a sick dog that needed to be put down. My father slapped me across the face in front of everyone, disowning me to save his own skin. That was when Luca Vitti, the city’s most dangerous man, stepped in. He cleared the room and took my hand. I thought he was saving me. I didn't realize he was just collecting a new pet. I was locked in his estate, isolated and terrified. Then, my healthy mother suddenly "died" of pneumonia in a Vitti clinic. Days later, I saw Luca’s frail stepsister, Clara, breathing easily for the first time in her life. She had my mother’s lungs. I became nothing more than a breeding vessel. When I fell pregnant, I overheard Luca and Ethan planning my death. "Once the kid is cut out, she's a loose end," Luca had said. They were going to kill me and give my son to the woman who stole my mother's breath. I couldn't let that happen. So, I staged a tragedy. I induced labor in secret, hid my living son, and placed a fake corpse in the crib with a note: The Vitti Legacy. I escaped while they mourned. Five years later, Luca finally found the doctor’s confession. He learned that Clara had orchestrated everything. He opened the velvet box I left behind and realized it was empty. Now, he knows I didn't kill his son. I saved him from becoming a monster like his father.

The last thing I remembered was the freezing cold of a lonely alley, the bitter taste of cheap whiskey, and the image of a newspaper: a glossy photo of my ex-wife, Sarah, and her new husband, Mark Thompson, cradling their perfect baby. My final breath fogged in the winter air as I died with the brutal truth ringing in my mind. I had failed them-my son, Leo, and my mother, Susan, both lying in fresh graves, victims of Sarah' s abandonment and my naive loyalty. For four years, I toiled, clinging to her empty promises, while they withered away from neglect and poverty in our crumbling home. I' d even sold a kidney to save them, but the money came too late; my mother starved, and Leo succumbed to a preventable fever. At their funeral, Sarah returned not to mourn, but to accuse, to divorce, and to flaunt her new life with Mark-a life built on our ruins. Then, a sharp, ragged gasp tore through me. I wasn' t in an alley, but on the cold, splintered floorboards of my own bedroom, the air thick with the scent of sickness. My heart hammered as I saw them: my mother, Susan, frail but breathing, and Leo, flushed with fever but alive, nestled in his crib. A quick glance at the calendar confirmed it: three days before their deaths. The raw grief, fused with a cold, hard rage, ignited a fire in my gut. No more silence. No more waiting. "Mom," I declared, my voice steady, "We' re leaving. We' re going to find Sarah." I had a second chance, and this time, I wouldn' t just survive; I would make them pay.

I spent four hours preparing a five-course meal for our fifth anniversary. When Jackson finally walked into the penthouse an hour late, he didn't even look at the table. He just dropped a thick Manila envelope in front of me and told me he was done. He said his stepsister, Davida, was getting worse and needed "stability." I wasn't his wife; I was a placeholder, a temporary fix he used until the woman he actually loved was ready to take my place. Jackson didn't just want a divorce; he wanted to erase me. He called me a "proprietary asset," claiming that every design I had created to save his empire belonged to him. He froze my bank accounts, cut off my phone, and told me I’d be nothing without his name. Davida even called me from her hospital bed to flaunt the family heirloom ring Jackson claimed was lost, mocking me for being "baggage" that was finally being cleared out. I stood in our empty home, realizing I had spent five years being a martyr for a man who saw me as a transaction. I couldn't understand how he could be so blind to the monster he was protecting, or how he could discard me so coldly after I had given him everything. I grabbed my hidden sketchbook, shredded our wedding portrait, and walked out into the rain. I dialed a number I hadn't touched in years—a dangerous man known as The Surgeon who dealt in debts and shadows. I told him I was ready to pay his price. Jackson and Davida wanted to steal my identity, but I was about to show the world the literal scars they had left behind.

"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.

Can these two rivals, united by their vengeful hearts, pull off a marriage of convenience to reclaim what they believe is rightfully theirs?
