Chapter 1 The Unexpected Arrival

Mia Lawson sighed as she fumbled with her apartment keys, desperately trying to unlock the door after a grueling day at work. The cramped office, endless deadlines, and a particularly frustrating design critique had left her feeling drained. All she wanted now was a quiet evening, a hot shower, and maybe some takeout.

"Just one more minute," she muttered to herself, her fingers finally finding the right key. As the door creaked open, she was greeted by the familiar sight of her small but cozy apartment. The living room, cluttered with art supplies and takeout containers, seemed like a haven of tranquility compared to the chaos of her day.

Just as she was about to collapse onto the couch, there was a knock at the door. Mia frowned, glancing at her watch. "Who could that be at this hour?" she wondered aloud. She hadn't been expecting any visitors.

Opening the door, Mia was met with a curious sight: a man who looked as if he had stepped straight out of a sci-fi novel. He was impeccably dressed in a sleek, tailored suit that seemed to shimmer slightly under the hallway light. His tousled hair and intense blue eyes only added to his enigmatic aura.

"Hi, I'm Liam Carter," he said with a warm, yet oddly formal smile. "I'm your new roommate."

Mia stared at him, her mind struggling to process the situation. "Roommate? I didn't know I was getting a new one."

Liam glanced around the small apartment with a mixture of curiosity and slight apprehension. "There must have been a mix-up with the landlord. I'm supposed to be moving in here."

Mia's eyebrows shot up. "Well, I didn't get any notice about a new roommate. Are you sure this is the right place?"

Liam's smile widened, though there was a hint of nervousness in his eyes. "Absolutely. Though, given the circumstances, I'm not surprised there was some confusion."

Mia couldn't help but feel a pang of annoyance. "You know, a little heads-up would have been nice. But, since you're here now, come on in, I guess."

As Liam stepped past her into the apartment, Mia noticed the sleek, silver suitcase he carried. It looked more like a high-tech gadget than a piece of luggage. He began to unpack with practiced efficiency, revealing an assortment of clothes and what appeared to be futuristic gadgets.

"So, Liam," Mia said, trying to make conversation while she helped him carry his bags. "What exactly do you do?"

Liam hesitated for a moment, then replied, "I work in a field that's a bit unconventional. I'd rather keep the details to myself for now."

Mia raised an eyebrow. "Unconventional, huh? Sounds intriguing. And you're sure you're not some secret agent or something?"

Liam chuckled, a sound that was both charming and slightly mysterious. "You could say I have a unique job. But I assure you, there's nothing too extraordinary about it."

As they carried the last of Liam's belongings into the spare room, Mia's curiosity got the better of her. "So, tell me more about this unique job. I mean, if we're going to be living together, I'd like to know what I'm getting into."

Liam smiled wryly. "Let's just say it involves some unusual activities. You might even call it... time-sensitive."

Mia's eyes widened in surprise. "Time-sensitive? Are you telling me you're involved in something like-"

Before she could finish her sentence, a soft beep interrupted them. Liam pulled out a small, sleek device from his suitcase, which emitted a faint, pulsating glow.

"That's my communicator," Liam explained, glancing at the device. "It's a part of my work. I should probably take this."

Mia watched with a mix of fascination and skepticism as Liam walked to a corner of the room, speaking into the device in a language she didn't understand. The more she observed, the more she became convinced that there was something decidedly unusual about her new roommate.

Just as she was about to ask him another question, Liam turned back with a serious expression. "Mia, I need to ask a favor. I know this might sound strange, but I'd like you to keep what you've seen and heard here between us. It's important for my work."

Mia blinked, taken aback. "Why would I need to keep this a secret?"

Liam's gaze softened. "It's not that I don't trust you. It's just that some things are better left unexplained. I assure you, it's for the best."

Mia nodded, though she was far from convinced. "Alright, I'll keep it under wraps. But you owe me an explanation at some point."

"Deal," Liam said, his smile returning.

Later that evening, as Mia tried to unwind with a cup of tea and a book, she couldn't shake the feeling that her life had just taken a bizarre turn. The mysterious, charming Liam Carter was not just an ordinary roommate. His strange behavior, coupled with the futuristic gadgets, left her with more questions than answers.

The next morning, Mia awoke to the sound of clattering in the kitchen. She shuffled out of bed and into the kitchen, where she found Liam attempting to make breakfast. The kitchen looked like a science experiment gone awry, with an array of odd appliances and ingredients strewn across the counters.

"Good morning," Mia said, trying to stifle a laugh. "It looks like you're cooking up something... interesting."

Liam looked up from his concoction with a sheepish grin. "I'm trying out a new recipe. It's from a time period that's not quite modern."

Mia raised an eyebrow. "A time period? Are you sure you're not accidentally creating a potion or something?"

Liam laughed, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "I promise it's just breakfast. Though, I suppose you never know what might happen."

As they sat down to eat, Mia couldn't help but be intrigued by Liam's demeanor. He was both enigmatic and engaging, and his presence brought a strange excitement to her otherwise mundane routine. The breakfast, while unconventional, was surprisingly delicious, and Mia found herself enjoying the peculiar start to her day.

Throughout the following days, Mia and Liam's interactions became increasingly interesting. Liam's mysterious work continued to spark Mia's curiosity, and his frequent absences only fueled her imagination about the true nature of his job. Meanwhile, Liam seemed to enjoy Mia's company, though he remained tight-lipped about the details of his time-traveling adventures.

One evening, as they were sitting together in the living room, Mia finally decided to address the elephant in the room. "So, Liam, I've been thinking. You mentioned your job was time-sensitive. Does that mean you're actually... a time traveler?"

Liam's eyes met hers, and for a moment, there was a flicker of something-regret, perhaps, or resolve. "Yes, Mia. I am a time traveler. My mission involves preventing certain events from occurring that could have serious consequences for the future."

Mia's mouth dropped open in disbelief. "You're serious? You're actually from the future?"

Liam nodded. "Indeed. And while I understand this might be difficult to accept, I assure you, it's the truth."

Mia stared at him, her mind racing with possibilities. "This is unbelievable. And you're saying you're here to stop something terrible from happening?"

"Exactly," Liam replied. "And your involvement might be crucial."

As Mia tried to process this revelation, she felt a mixture of excitement and trepidation. Her ordinary life had suddenly become a whirlwind of extraordinary possibilities. The thought of embarking on a time-traveling adventure with Liam was both thrilling and daunting.

"Well," Mia said with a determined smile, "if I'm going to be part of this adventure, I'd better be prepared. When do we start?"

Liam's expression softened, and he gave her a grateful nod. "Soon. And thank you for being open-minded. This journey is about to get very interesting."

As Mia settled into her newfound role as Liam's roommate and ally, she couldn't help but feel that her life was on the brink of an incredible adventure. The ordinary days of graphic design and routine had been replaced by a future she had never imagined, and she was ready to embrace whatever came next.

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.

For seventeen years, I was the crown jewel of the Kensington empire, the perfect daughter groomed for a royal future. Then, a cream-colored envelope landed in my lap, bearing a gold crest and a truth that turned my world into ice. The DNA test result was a cold, hard zero percent-I wasn't a Kensington. Before the ink could even dry, my parents invited my replacement, a girl named Alleen, into the drawing room and treated me like a trespasser in my own home. My mother, who once hosted galas in my honor, wouldn't even look me in the eye as she stroked Alleen's arm, whispering that she was finally "safe." My father handed me a one-million-dollar check-a mere tip for a billionaire-and told me to leave immediately to avoid tanking the company's stock price. "You're a thief! You lived my life, you spent my money, and you don't get to keep the loot!" Alleen shrieked, trying to claw the designer jacket off my shoulders while my "parents" watched with clinical detachment. I was dumped on a gritty sidewalk in Queens with nothing but three trunks and the address of a struggling laborer I was now supposed to call "Dad." I traded a marble mansion for a crumbling walk-up where the air smelled of exhaust and my new bedroom was a literal storage closet. My biological family thought I was a broken princess, and the Kensingtons thought they had successfully erased me with a payoff and a non-disclosure agreement. They had no idea that while I was hauling trunks up four flights of stairs, my secret media empire was already preparing to move against them. As I sat on a thin mattress in the dark, I opened my encrypted laptop and sent a single command that would cost my former father ten million dollars by breakfast. They thought they were throwing me to the wolves, but they forgot one thing: I'm the one who leads the pack.

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.

Why did he demand her, only to remind her constantly of her worthlessness, especially when everyone knew he waited for his true mate? Her world crumbled when she overheard Declan tell his returning ""true mate,"" Kristin Larsen, that Anya was ""just a substitute."" Despite the crushing betrayal and a strange, unyielding pull, Anya, fueled by her mother's desperate need, vowed to survive this gilded cage and reclaim her life before she lost herself completely."
