Chapter 1 THE MYSTERIOUS BILLIONAIRE

Alexander Sterling wasn't just a name; it was an enigma. To the world, he was the reclusive billionaire at the helm of a tech empire. To those who knew him-or thought they did-he was a guarded man, one who rarely let anyone close enough to see beyond the veneer of success. He had it all: money, influence, and a lifestyle others could only dream of. Yet, he lived in the shadows, his true identity hidden behind layers of deception.

Tonight was no different. The annual charity gala was in full swing, the city's elite mingling in the grand ballroom of the Century Tower, a building Alexander himself had financed. Crystal chandeliers glittered above as expensive champagne flowed freely into crystal flutes. But amid the polished exteriors and million-dollar smiles, Alexander stood apart.

Dressed in a tailored black suit, he watched the room like a predator observing its prey. His steely blue eyes flicked from one face to another, calculating, judging. No one here knew his true story. They only saw the surface: a man who had built an empire out of nothing, who donated millions to charitable causes, who sat on the board of every major corporation in the city. But there was another side to him-one he kept buried deep.

As Alexander sipped his drink, a soft voice broke through his thoughts. "Quite the spectacle, isn't it?"

He turned to find Emilia Carter standing beside him. She was a journalist, new to the scene, but with a reputation that preceded her. Emilia was known for uncovering the kind of stories others were too scared to touch, the kind that rattled cages in high places. She was beautiful, too, in a way that made it hard to ignore her. Her dark hair cascaded in loose waves over her shoulders, and her emerald-green eyes sparkled with curiosity. She was different from the others at the gala-less polished, more real.

Alexander's lips curved into a smile, though it didn't reach his eyes. "A spectacle, yes. But that's what people come for, isn't it?"

Emilia raised an eyebrow, her gaze steady. "Not you, though. You don't strike me as someone who enjoys these kinds of events."

Alexander chuckled softly. She was perceptive. "I attend out of necessity. But no, I wouldn't say I enjoy them."

Their conversation was casual, yet charged with an undercurrent of something deeper. For a moment, Alexander felt a strange pull toward her, something he hadn't felt in a long time. But he pushed the thought aside. He couldn't afford to get involved-not with someone like her.

Emilia, however, was persistent. "I've been following your work for a while now. Your foundation does impressive things. But I can't help but wonder-what drives someone like you? What's the real motivation behind all this?"

Her question hung in the air, and for a moment, Alexander considered giving her a piece of the truth. But only for a moment. He had learned long ago that the truth was a dangerous thing. Instead, he gave her the answer she expected: the polished, practiced version.

"I've been fortunate in my life," he said smoothly. "And I believe in giving back. It's as simple as that."

Emilia studied him for a moment, clearly unconvinced. But before she could press further, a sudden commotion near the entrance of the ballroom drew their attention. A group of men in expensive suits had arrived, their presence causing a ripple of excitement through the crowd.

Alexander's expression darkened. He recognized them immediately. They were powerful figures in the business world, but beneath their clean-cut appearances, they were involved in far darker dealings. These were men he knew all too well from his other life-his secret life.

Emilia noticed the change in his demeanor. "Do you know them?"

"Unfortunately," Alexander muttered under his breath.

The men caught sight of him and started making their way over. Alexander's grip tightened around his glass. He had hoped to avoid any contact with them tonight, but it seemed that wasn't going to be possible.

As they approached, one of the men-a tall, silver-haired figure with a smug smile-extended his hand. "Grayson, good to see you."

Alexander shook his hand, his smile forced. "Likewise, Donovan."

Emilia watched the exchange closely, her reporter's instincts kicking in. She sensed tension between the two men, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why. There was something off about Donovan, something that didn't sit right with her.

Donovan's eyes flicked to Emilia, his smile widening. "And who is this lovely lady?"

Before Alexander could respond, Emilia stepped forward, extending her hand. "Emilia Carter, journalist with The Chronicle."

Donovan's smile faltered for just a moment, but it was enough for Emilia to notice. "Ah, a journalist. How... interesting."

Alexander felt a surge of protectiveness toward Emilia. Donovan wasn't someone she should be dealing with, and the last thing Alexander wanted was for her to get caught up in his world. But before he could steer the conversation in a safer direction, Donovan spoke again.

"I've heard good things about you, Sterling. I think we should talk soon-about a potential business opportunity."

Alexander's jaw tightened. "I'm not interested."

Donovan chuckled. "You haven't even heard my offer."

"I don't need to."

There was an icy tension between them, but Donovan simply smiled and gave a slight nod. "Very well. But you'll come around, eventually. Everyone does."

With that, he turned and walked away, leaving Alexander and Emilia standing in silence.

Emilia looked up at Alexander, curiosity burning in her eyes. "What was that about?"

Alexander sighed, his mind racing. He needed to find a way to divert her attention before she started digging too deep. "Just old business. Nothing you need to worry about."

But Emilia wasn't one to be easily deterred. She could sense there was much more to the story, and she was determined to find out what it was.

As the night wore on, Alexander couldn't shake the feeling that Emilia was going to become a problem. Not because she was a threat to his business, but because she was getting too close to something he couldn't afford to reveal. And yet, despite the danger, he couldn't deny the attraction he felt toward her.

For the first time in years, Alexander felt something other than control. He felt vulnerable. And he hated it.

But deep down, he knew it was already too late. Emilia was going to be part of his world-whether he liked it or not.

"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. Now the rivals' disgraced children have a poisonous proposal: Marry for vengeance. Crush their fathers' legacies. Never speak of divorce. Whoever cracks first loses everything. Can these two rivals, united by their vengeful hearts, pull off a marriage of convenience to reclaim what they believe is rightfully theirs? Or will their fathers' animosity, and their own complicated pasts tear their fragile alliance apart?
