Chapter 1 The Unseen Future

Chapter 1: The Unseen Future

I always thought my life would follow a predictable course. I was fresh out of college, armed with a degree in business management, and already had a job lined up at my father's company, Bennett Enterprises. I could see it all clearly: climbing the corporate ladder, making my mark, proving I could succeed on my own terms. But everything changed the moment my father decided to shatter the life I had imagined.

It was a typical family dinner-just me, my parents, and the usual humdrum of small talk. My dad, Gregory Bennett, sat at the head of the table, his presence as commanding as always. He was a man who ran the world like a business deal, cold, calculated, and unyielding. He never made decisions without thinking of the bigger picture, and for some reason, I had always hoped that the picture might include me-my ambitions, my dreams. But tonight, that hope evaporated.

"Jade, we need to talk about your future," he said, his tone unwavering.

I paused, my fork halfway to my mouth. Something about the way he spoke felt different, urgent. "What do you mean, Dad?"

His eyes, sharp and focused, locked onto mine. "I've made arrangements for you. You'll be marrying Alex Vance."

I blinked, unable to process his words at first. "Who?"

"Alex Vance, the son of the Vance Group. You know, the company we've been negotiating with for the merger? We've been in talks for months, and this is the final piece. It's already been decided. Your mother and I agreed on it."

My stomach dropped, a cold wave of panic rushing over me. "Wait, wait. You're telling me I'm supposed to marry someone I don't even know? Just like that?"

My dad didn't even flinch. "It's not about what you want, Jade. It's about what's best for the company. Marrying Alex will secure our future, and solidify the merger with the Vance Group."

I couldn't breathe. The words were suffocating, like a weight crushing down on my chest. "This is insane. I don't want to marry someone I've never met!"

"Jade," my father said, his voice sharp, almost like a command, "this is how things work. You'll understand when you're older. This is business. You'll marry Alex, and together, the two of you will merge our families' empires."

I felt my entire world start to unravel. All my plans, my hopes, my dreams of charting my own path, of succeeding on my own, now felt like a cruel joke. I wasn't being asked to marry someone out of love or even affection. I was being sold off like a pawn in a business deal, a merger that would benefit everyone but me.

I could feel the heat rising in my cheeks, my frustration boiling over. "I don't have a say in this? This is just happening, no matter what?"

My father's eyes darkened, his jaw tightening. "Sometimes, we don't get what we want, Jade. But you'll see-this is for the good of the family. It's what's best for Bennett Enterprises."

I stood up abruptly, my chair scraping against the floor. "I can't believe this," I muttered, turning away from the table.

"Jade," my father's voice called after me, but I didn't stop. "You need to understand, this isn't up for discussion."

I slammed the door to my room behind me, my heart pounding in my chest. How could he do this to me? My father, the man who had always been my rock, had just shattered my world. I didn't have a say in anything anymore. I had spent my whole life trying to carve out a future for myself, only to be told that my destiny was already decided.

Sitting down on the edge of my bed, I tried to breathe, but it felt like the air had been sucked out of the room. My mind was spinning. My father's words echoed in my head, a constant reminder that my life wasn't mine to control.

My phone buzzed on the nightstand, snapping me out of my thoughts. It was a message from Lila, my best friend since college.

"Hey, girl! How's everything? Want to hit the club tonight? You need a break!"

I stared at the screen, her words offering a tempting escape. I didn't know what I was hoping for, but I wasn't about to sit in this room and wallow. I needed to do something. Anything.

"Yeah. Let's do it."

---

The club was a blur of flashing lights, pulsating music, and an intoxicating mix of bodies swaying to the beat. The sound of the bass thudded in my chest, drowning out the noise in my head. I couldn't think about my father's business deal anymore, not tonight. Tonight, I was just Jade-young, free, and desperately trying to forget.

Lila was already at the bar when I arrived, and as soon as she saw me, she grinned and slid a drink in my direction. "What's going on, babe? You look like someone just took a sledgehammer to your soul."

I took the drink and downed half of it in one go. "You have no idea. My dad just told me I'm marrying some guy I've never met. It's all part of some business deal. I don't have a choice in the matter."

Lila's eyes widened. "What? No way! You can't just marry some random guy! You have to do something about this!"

I shrugged, trying to laugh, but the bitterness in my voice was unmistakable. "What can I do? He's already made the arrangements. It's happening, whether I like it or not."

"Girl, you need to forget about all that for tonight," Lila insisted. "We're here to have fun. No thinking about business deals or forced marriages. You deserve a break."

I nodded, feeling the alcohol start to work its magic. The night felt a little less heavy, a little more bearable. I let the music wash over me, my body moving to the rhythm. For once, I didn't care about my father's plans, the wedding that was looming, or the fact that my life was about to be turned upside down.

That was when I saw him.

He was tall, dark, and undeniably handsome, with an aura of confidence that seemed to command attention. His eyes met mine across the dance floor, and in that instant, I felt something shift. I couldn't explain it-this pull, this undeniable chemistry-but it was there, in the air between us.

Without thinking, I found myself walking toward him, drawn by something I couldn't resist.

"Would you like to dance?" he asked, his voice deep and smooth, like honey.

I didn't hesitate. "Yes."

We moved together on the dance floor, the music blending with the electricity between us. His touch was confident, his movements smooth, and for the first time in days, I wasn't thinking about anything else. I wasn't thinking about my father, the merger, or the man I was supposed to marry. I was lost in the moment, lost in him.

Before I knew it, we were leaving the club, walking together through the city streets. The cool night air brushed against my skin, but I was too lost in the sensation of being with him to notice. We didn't speak much, but the silence was comfortable, filled with an unspoken connection.

I don't know why I did it, but when we reached his apartment, I didn't stop. There were no questions, no expectations. Just two strangers, drawn to each other by something neither of us could explain. It was wild, free, and for the first time in what felt like forever, I felt alive.

The night was a blur of heat and passion, a blur of forgetting. I didn't know his name. He didn't know mine. But it didn't matter. In that moment, we were just two people, sharing something intense and fleeting. Something that was ours alone.

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.

"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?

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."
