His Forbidden Flame Chapter 1 THE WRONG KIND OF MAN

Chapter One: The Wrong Kind of Man

The first time Achieng saw him, she was balancing a tray of drinks in heels two sizes too small.

The rooftop bar buzzed with Nairobi's elite-men in tailored suits, women in sleek dresses, the air thick with money, cologne, and scandal. She didn't belong here, and everyone knew it. Especially the man in the navy-blue suit with eyes that seemed to strip her bare from across the room.

He looked like sin dipped in silk.

"Table seven," her supervisor hissed behind her. "That's Mr. Mwangi. Don't mess this one up."

Achieng swallowed. Of course he had a name. Of course he was the kind of man who didn't need to ask for attention-it simply bowed to him.

She walked over, heels clicking, knees threatening to buckle.

"Your whiskey, sir," she said, carefully placing the glass down.

He didn't reach for it.

Instead, he looked at her.

No-through her.

And then he smiled. Lazy. Dangerous.

"What's your name?" His voice was deep, velvet-wrapped trouble.

"Achieng," she replied, too quickly.

"Achieng," he repeated, tasting her name like it was something exotic on his tongue. "Beautiful name... for a beautiful woman."

She froze.

This wasn't part of the job.

Flirting with customers was against the rules. Getting involved with a client-especially a man like this-was more than forbidden. It was social suicide.

Still... something in her chest fluttered.

"I-I have other tables," she stammered, stepping back.

His smile didn't waver. "Don't worry. I'll wait."

She turned and walked away, but she felt his gaze clinging to her like Nairobi heat-slow, heavy, and impossible to escape.

And in that moment, Achieng knew one thing:

She was in serious trouble.

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."

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
