Chapter 1 1

The old, mysterious clock tower stood tall and proud, its stone walls bearing the scars of time. The once-majestic clock face now hung crooked, its hands frozen in a perpetual state of 11:47.

Rumors swirled around the tower, whispers of a curse that had been cast upon it. Some said it was built on an ancient burial ground, while others claimed to have seen shadowy figures lurking in its depths.

Lena, a curious and adventurous soul, felt drawn to the tower. She had always been fascinated by the unknown, and the clock tower seemed to be calling her name.

One stormy night, Lena decided to explore the tower for herself. She approached the entrance, a massive wooden door with rusty hinges and a large, old-fashioned keyhole.

As she pushed the door open, a musty smell wafted out, and the creaking of the hinges echoed through the night air. Lena stepped inside, her heart racing with excitement and a hint of fear.

The interior was dark and dusty, cobwebs clinging to the walls like ghostly fingers. Lena fumbled in her backpack for a flashlight and turned it on, casting a weak beam of light into the darkness.

Suddenly, she heard a faint ticking sound, like the heartbeat of the tower itself. Lena's curiosity was piqued, and she began to explore the tower, following the sound to its source.

Lena's footsteps echoed through the tower, her flashlight casting eerie shadows on the walls. She followed the ticking sound, her heart pounding with excitement.

The air grew thick with dust, and cobwebs clung to her face. Lena brushed them aside, her determination driving her forward.

A narrow staircase spiralled upward, vanishing into darkness. Lena hesitated, her hand on the railing. The ticking sound grew louder, drawing her up.

The stairs led her to a small room, dominated by a massive clockwork mechanism. Gears and springs sprawled across the walls, their intricate dance frozen in time.

Lena approached the clockwork, her eyes wide with wonder. The ticking sound emanated from its heart, a rhythmic pulse that seemed to match her own.

Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadows. Lena spun around, her heart racing. An old man stood before her, his eyes twinkling with secrets.

"Welcome, young one," he said, his voice low and gravelly. "I have been waiting for you."

Lena's instincts screamed warning, but her curiosity held her fast. "Who are you?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

"I am the keeper of the clock tower," he replied, his eyes glinting with mystery. "And you, Lena, are the key to unlocking its secrets."

The old man's words hung in the air, shrouded in mystery. Lena's mind raced with questions, but she asked none, her gaze fixed on the clockwork mechanism.

The old man nodded, his eyes sparkling with approval. "You understand the importance of silence," he said, his voice low and gravelly. "The clock tower's secrets are not for the loud or the reckless."

Lena's heart pounded with excitement, her curiosity driving her forward. The old man gestured to the clockwork, his hands weaving a intricate pattern.

"This is the heart of the tower," he said, his voice filled with reverence. "A machine of wonder, crafted by hands long forgotten."

Lena's eyes widened, her mind struggling to comprehend the complexity of the mechanism. The old man smiled, his eyes glinting with amusement.

"Do not try to understand," he said, his voice low and soothing. "Simply observe, and the secrets will reveal themselves."

Lena nodded, her gaze fixed on the clockwork. The ticking sound grew louder, the gears and springs seeming to dance in rhythm.

The old man vanished into the shadows, leaving Lena alone with the clockwork. She felt a sense of peace settle over her, her heart pounding in time with the mechanism.

Hours passed, or perhaps minutes, Lena lost in the intricate dance of the clockwork. The old man reappeared, his eyes twinkling with approval.

"You have passed the first test," he said, his voice low and gravelly. "But the true challenge lies ahead."

Lena's heart skipped a beat, her mind racing with anticipation. The old man gestured to a small door, hidden behind the clockwork.

"The next step awaits," he said, his voice filled with mystery. "Are you prepared, Lena?"

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.

The Surgeon's Vow: Healing My Billionaire Husband

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 had been a wife for exactly six hours when I woke up to the sound of my husband’s heavy breathing. In the dim moonlight of our bridal suite, I watched Hardin, the man I had adored for years, intertwined with my sister Carissa on the chaise lounge. The betrayal didn't come with an apology. Hardin stood up, unashamed, and sneered at me. "You're awake? Get out, you frumpy mute." Carissa huddled under a throw, her fake tears already welling up as she played the victim. They didn't just want me gone; they wanted me erased to protect their reputations. When I refused to move, my world collapsed. My father didn't offer a shoulder to cry on; he threatened to have me committed to a mental asylum to save his business merger. "You're a disgrace," he bellowed, while the guards stood ready to drag me away. They had spent my life treating me like a stuttering, submissive pawn, and now they were done with me. I felt a blinding pain in my skull, a fracture that should have broken me. But instead of tears, something dormant and lethal flickered to life. The terrified girl who walked down the aisle earlier that day simply ceased to exist. In her place, a clinical system—the Valkyrie Protocol—booted up. My racing heart plummeted to a steady sixty beats per minute. I didn't scream. I stood up, my spine straightening for the first time in twenty years, and looked at Hardin with the detachment of a surgeon looking at a tumor. "Correction," I said, my voice stripped of its stutter. "You're in my light." By dawn, I had drained my father's accounts, vanished into a storm, and found a bleeding Crown Prince in a hidden safehouse. They thought they had broken a mute girl. They didn't realize they had just activated their own destruction.

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.
