Chapter 1

Victoria's POV

Growing up, i always thought that one must always work hard in order to prove their worth and so i did, i spent countless nights without sleeping trying to build a reputation for myself without anyone's help,but in this society i live in that doesn't count for anything,as long as you are a woman you will always be belittled.

Well my name is Victoria Smith and I'm 25 of age .My father( Edward smith)is a business tycoon owning the largest corporate company rated in the top 10 companies in the world, well my mom ( Evelina Smith)is a house wife,well more like a trophy wife. I also have 3 younger brothers which means i am the only girl in the family.

Most people would think that i was spoon fed and pampered to my heart's content,little did they know that i never used my father's connections for my benefit,but i can't say the same for my brothers. Yes i am a COO in the company but i earned the position through my hard work.

Victoria's POV

I was jolted awake by my alarm as usual at 5 am ,gosh!!!! i have never been a morning person but i finally managed to push myself out of the bed. Every morning i would stand in front of a mirror and mutter some positive words to keep myself going throughout the day and today was no exception.

It was around 6:45 just after preparing for for work and i decided to go downstairs for breakfast. Everyone was already there. "Morning fam" i greeted as usual but they just stared at me as if they had something to say "gosh this better not ruin my day" i mentally pleaded.

"Ahem, we have found a suitable candidate that is worthy of you, the negotiations will take place next week" my my dad cleared his throat before dropping a bombshell on me, i stared at them as if they have gone mad. Deep down i wished that one of my brothers would say its a prank as usual, i looked them in the eyes one by one and i didn't see any hint of amusement on their faces,they all had poker faces that's when i realized something,they knew...they knew that our parents were trying to set me up for a marriage with a stranger.

I always knew that my father believed that a woman was meant to stay at home,bear children and take care of her husband like exactly what my mother is doing but i did not expect this at all.

I looked at my mother to see if she also supported this and she looked down in shame, just as i thought i snickered and stormed out of the house and immediately drove off. I didn't know where to go ,i mean i could always go to work but i could not let my colleagues see me like this,i was in no state to get any work done.

So i called that one person who would always have my best interests at heart, Maryse.We have been best friends since kindergarten because our families have been partners for ages,although we do not always keep in touch due to our busy schedules i know we've got each other.

"To what do i owe this pleasant surprise?",i heard her loud voice on the other side,well you can always count on Maryse to be bubbly. "Calm down will you?, i think i need to talk to someone before i lose my mind" i told her and she went silent for a moment probably wondering what could be the matter.

"Sure babe,Maryse at your service. Same place?" She asked. " Sure i will meet you there in 30 minutes" i immediately headed there,slightly relieved that atleast someone was willing to hear me.

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.
