Chapter 1 THE FALL OF A DYNASTY.

The crackling fire did little to warm the cavernous room as Ivana sat stiffly on the velvet armchair, her eyes fixed on her father. His face, once proud and commanding, was now haggard and lined with despair. Papers lay scattered across the mahogany desk, each one a testament to their ruin.

"I've tried everything," Mr. Jonathan whispered, his voice hoarse. "But the investors are merciless. They want their money."

Ivana's heart clenched. She had grown up in luxury, the world bending to her father's will. She had never imagined a day when his name would mean nothing, when power and wealth would slip through their fingers like grains of sand.

"What happens if we can't pay them?" she asked, her voice trembling.

Her father's haunted eyes met hers. "Prison."

The word fell between them like a death knell.

"There must be another way," she insisted. "Another investor. Someone-"

"There's one man," Mr. Jonathan cut her off, his expression darkening. "But on his terms..." He trailed off, unable to continue.

"Who?" Ivana leaned forward, desperation clawing at her chest. "What are his terms?"

Her father hesitated before answering. "Patrick Monroe."

The name sent a chill through her veins. Everyone in the business world knew of Patrick-the ruthless billionaire who built his empire on crushed dreams and broken promises. His wealth was rivaled only by his reputation for cruelty.

"And what does he want?" she whispered.

Her father looked away. "He... he wants you."

Ivana's breath caught in her throat. "Me?"

"To be his wife." Mr. Jonathan's voice cracked. "If I agree, he'll save the company. He'll pay off the debts."

Silence stretched between them. Ivana's mind raced with fear, anger, and confusion. She had heard stories of women sold into loveless marriages, but never had she imagined it would be her fate.

"Father, no," she said firmly. "We'll find another way."

"There is no other way," he said, his eyes filled with sorrow. "If I refuse, I will go to prison. We lose everything."

Tears burned her eyes as she realized the depth of their desperation. The walls of their mansion seemed to close in around her, suffocating her with the weight of inevitability.

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.
