"I hate you!" I sneered as I wiped a stubborn tear that slipped past my eyes. "I am glad we are on the same page" he smirked. I wanted him to feel pain.

BEYON Chapter 1 A child to wipe my tears

Lisa's POV

2 weeks after my wedding, I discovered I had been carrying a dead child inside of me. I didn't even know I was pregnant to begin with.

It all started with that dream.

First off I do not believe in dreams but certain things have happened and I am beginning to think otherwise. I had dreamt of attending a funeral with my husband. I didn't know who had died or why I was there. All I knew was that someone was dead. Only for me to go to the hospital and just like that, I was immediately operated on.

It's been 3 years since that incident and I have never been pregnant.

Now all I want is simple; a normal life. I didn't want to control a business or be famous. All I wanted was a happy home, a loving husband and little versions of I and Andre running around the house. but then the last part of my wishes are yet to come to pass.

You know, they say a child was a gift from God but here I am staring at a woman named Sarah, asking the nurse, places she could go to get a baby aborted legally. She said, he has two children and she doesn't want another but I here I am seated with none of my own.

"Lisa Kay" a nurse called out my name and I stood.

"You may go in now." She said and continued going through the computer. I gathered my bags and gave one last look to the woman who was going to abort a baby I badly needed, and sighed. I walked briskly to the doctor's office. Just before I open the door, I let a deep breath and knock.

" come on in Lisa, I know it's you" the female voice from inside said. Though I was going to open it anyway.

"Good morning Dr." I gave her my brightest smile as I walked in. I wasn't ready for her pep talk on being gloomy.

She gestured to the seat in front of her. "please have a seat"

I sat and looked up at her. Kept my smile. She smiled back at me.

" You said you haven't seen your Period?"

"Yes."

" when was the last time you had your period" she asked going through some papers.

"Last month" I replied. "It's just that I haven't seen it, so I decided to come last week and get myself checked"

She smiled. "All that stress, you could have used a pregnancy Strip"

I returned her smile. " I just wanted to be sure. My last pregnancy was a cryptic one, remember"

The doctor nodded and continued shuffling through files. Finally she told out a file and sudden her countenance changed. I knew she was unto my case. She flipped through the papers. She smiled. Her face glowered. My heart raced and my hands went cold. This could be it. No more checking my calendar for my ovulation. Finally. I would take care of this baby. I will never lose it and-

"Mrs. Luster" immediately I looked up" Lisa, you are not pregnant" she said quietly. It felt like I had been smacked hard in the face.

" what" I gasped. I felt queasy in the mornings. I was always sleeping.

"- the thing is" the doctor continued. The next set of things she began to say didn't make it past my eyes. All I saw was her lips moving.

I didn't hear a word. I walked out of her office with my head bowed low like a dying flower.

*******

Plush curtains. Priceless work of art, antique furnishings and vast space, surrounded me. My home was beautiful. Thanks to my billionaire husband, Andre luster. Andre had taste and it reflected in everything around him. I had married my College sweetheart, even though my father let me, I could still hear the notes of reluctance in his voice. He had asked me not to settle and I told him I didn't settle. Andre loved me. He was fuckingly rich and I had everything I needed, well except for a baby.

Even though my house was all this, the heaviness in my heart has rid me of the act to look around. All I wanted was to give Andre a child.

I wanted to call out to the maid to ask what's for dinner when my phone began to rang. On seeing the caller, my heart skipped a beat

" Hello mum" I said cheerful.

" Andre said you went to hospital" she ignored my greeting. my mother in law had been all my neck all through the year. She wanted grand babies and had forbade I and Andre to adopt.

Andre is the heir to the luster holdings. She wanted a pure blood from the family.

"Lisa?" she asked.

"yes mum"

"what did the doctor say?" her voice was cold and blunt. A tear slipped down my cheeks. The previous month she had made me undergo several tests. My body was poked left, right and center in a bid to know what was wrong with me since the second IVF failed too. It felt like I was some lab guinea pig.

I took in a deep breath. "She said I wasn't pregnant"

My mother in law hissed loudly. She didn't care that I would hear. "Why go to the hospital then? Do you want to give us false hope.." and she went on about my bad diet and how I wasn't helping her son. I sat through it all and when she was through I walked into my room and bawled into my pillow. I didn't know when I slept off.

"Baby" someone was tapping me. I dragged myself to a seating position and there was Andre. He was still dressed in a suit and tie.

" how are you?" He asked. I looked from the tear stained pillow to his face. I couldn't lie. I knew he knew. I leaned in and hugged him as I began to cry.

"Lisa baby" he kissed me and wiped my tears away. His kisses became heated, intense, and sensual. The next thing I know we are buck naked in bed. Andre turned my cries to moans. I couldn't stop screaming his name.

******

One month later, I began to feel dizzy and lightheaded again but the only thing that discouraged me was that I had seen my period.

I am ANNABEL DRAKE, a woman who has spent her entire life in the shadows of others. A forgotten girl child, and also an underestimated employee, in fact I am everything you can think of because I have been through a lot . It started after my father was imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit. My family lost everything: our fortune, our home, and most painfully, our dignity. My mother fell ill under the weight of disgrace, and I became the sole provider, fighting every day just to keep us alive. When an unexpected job opportunity lands in my lap, I see it as an opening way out of poverty and struggle. Working as an executive assistant for Carson Clair, the almighty billionaire CEO of Sonclair Enterprises, isn't easy. He's rude, and unnecessarily leading over everyone in a bad manner, and I can tell you unapologetically that he's everything I despise in a man. But the paycheck is good, and I need it. Then, the unimaginable happens after a few months. Carson makes me an offer I can't refuse because it is such a juicy offer. It was a contract marriage. He needs a wife to secure a billion-dollar deal, and in exchange, he promises to clear my father's name, pay off my mother's medical bills, and set me up for life. It sounds like a dream... until I realize I'm falling for him. Just as I start to believe that maybe, just maybe, this arrangement could turn into something real, my world shatters again. I discovered a secret which was actually the truth and it changed everything. Carson isn't who I thought he was. And neither is the man I've been secretly confiding in... Fred Mark. One is lying. The other is using me. But the worst part? I don't know which one. And by the time I figure it out, it might already be too late.

I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires. Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancé, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world. My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets. I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her. The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money. I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table. "Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead."

Rising From Wreckage: Starfall's Epic Comeback

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don’t have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall—the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I’m not just leaving him; I’m taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood—the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.
