Farewell, My Love Chapter 1

Chapter 1

[1]

In the year Bryan loved me the most, I started a relationship with a wealthy man and left him.

He swore I would regret it.

When we met again, he had already become a business tycoon with immense influence.

Everyone knew about the ex-girlfriend he despised.

He said, "She deserves to suffer. A woman like her doesn't deserve happiness!"

He didn't know I had a terminal illness.

I only had a few days left to live.

I never expected to run into Bryan in a place like this.

With my eyes downcast, I clutched the skimpy dress I was wearing tightly.

Rhonda gave me a push. "Joanna, what are you standing there for? Get in there!"

I tried to comfort myself. The room was dimly lit, and there were so many people. Bryan wouldn't notice me.

Taking a deep breath, I followed my colleagues into the private room.

But with just one glance, I saw Bryan lounging on the sofa.

He had changed. The boyish innocence was gone from his face, replaced by a powerful and intimidating presence.

Dressed in a tailored suit, every line exuded elegance and sophistication.

My heart ached, and I quickly lowered my gaze, not daring to look at him again.

"Mr. Keller, these are our club's finest girls. See if there's anyone you like."

He glanced at us coldly and uttered a single word. "Leave."

The club owner's face changed, and he quickly waved us out. "Out, all of you. Don't bother Mr. Keller."

I breathed a sigh of relief, my heart settling down. Thankfully, Bryan hadn't seen or recognized me.

Just as I was about to step out the door, a cold voice came from behind.

"Wait, turn around."

Accompanied by footsteps, a pair of high-end black leather shoes appeared before me.

Bryan stood in front of me. "Look up."

I didn't move.

He sneered, gripping my chin forcefully and making me meet his gaze. His eyes were full of mockery.

"So it's Miss Duffy. Didn't you hook up with a rich guy? Why are you out here working?"

"Did that rich guy dump you? Hmm?"

I bit my lip, turning my head to the side without saying a word, feeling a lump in my throat.

He turned to the club owner and chuckled. "Her, and the one next to her, stay."

The club owner rubbed his hands together, his face beaming with joy.

Leyla followed Bryan to the sofa.

Bryan lit a cigarette and looked at me. "Legs broken? Can't walk over?"

"With that attitude, you think you can serve clients? This place must not be very good."

The club owner laughed apologetically. "Mr. Keller, I'm sorry. She's new here. I heard her family is in desperate need of money. If she wasn't a bit pretty, I wouldn't have taken her in."

He then glared at me fiercely. "What are you standing there for? If you don't want to serve clients, you can leave now!"

For a moment, I felt an impulse to turn and leave immediately. But I couldn't. Not now. I needed the money desperately. I needed this high-paying part-time job.

I whispered an apology and walked towards Bryan.

"Short on money? What happened? Did your rich guy dump you?"

"Serves you right."

Bryan played with his lighter, a playful look in his eyes.

He pulled Leyla close and casually tossed her a card. "Here's a hundred thousand. It's yours."

Then he took out another card, looking at me with a sneer. "This one also has a hundred thousand, but it depends on whether you have the skills to earn it."

The people around him seemed to notice Bryan's disdain for me and started to egg him on.

"Let's make it fun. Take off your clothes! I'll bet a hundred thousand for each piece you take off!"

Laughter erupted, and several people pulled out their cards.

"Come on, sweetheart, strip down, and all the money on the table is yours."

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.

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.

Phoenix Rising: The Scarred Heiress's Revenge

Xiao Hong Mao

I lived as the "scarred ghost" of the Stephens penthouse, a wife kept in the shadows because my facial burns offended my billionaire husband’s aesthetic. For years, I endured Kason’s coldness and my family's abuse, a submissive puppet who believed she had nowhere else to go. The end came with a blue folder tossed onto my silk sheets. Kason’s mistress was back, and he wanted me out by sunset, offering a five-million-dollar "silence fee" to go hide my face in the countryside. The betrayal cut deep when I discovered my father had already traded my divorce for a corporate bailout. My step-sister mocked my "trashy" appearance at a high-end boutique, while the sales staff treated me like a common thief. At home, my father threatened to cut off my mother's life-saving medicine unless I crawled back to Kason to beg for a better deal. I was the girl who took the blame for a fire she didn't start, the wife who worshipped a man who never looked her in the eye, and the daughter used as a human bargaining chip. I was supposed to be broken, penniless, and desperate. But the woman who stood up wasn't the weak Elease Finch anymore; she was Phoenix, a tactical predator with a $500 million secret. I signed the divorce papers without a single tear, walked past my stunned husband, and wiped the Finch family's bank accounts clean with a few taps on my phone. "Your money is dirty," I told Kason with a cold smile. "I prefer clean hands." The cage is open, the hunt has begun, and I’m starting with the people who thought a scar made me weak.
