My Don: Love in the dark Chapter 1 Taken

Olivia

They say, "a new day is another opportunity for you to forget yesterday worries and problems, as it is another chance for you to be happy".

Happiness? I think that's only a fantasy, a fairytale being told to little children so they could feel better. A mask that humans wear on their faces as a form of defense mechanism to escape reality a bit.

"Liv! Liv!" The excited voice of my best friend broke me out of my train of thought.

"Now what's got you so stoked this morning?"

I raised my brows at her.

"Well I've got good news for you girl" She grinned widely.

"Well I'm all ears, but first let's get outta here, this place keeps getting disgusting day by day" I scrunched my nose in disgust at our current environment which is also our place of shelter by the way.

"Right, I forgot about our situation for a minute, but your expression makes it sound so terrible". Jade replied.

"Girl, we live in the most terrible city in LA" I glared at her.

"For the past ten years, the streets of skid row has been our place of shelter!" I groaned out in frustration.

"Okay,okay, you don't have to get so fired up" She sighed.

"I'm sorry for my little outburst, I just keep being reminded of our miserable lives every single day, and this morning isn't an exception". I released a shaky breath trying to calm myself down.

"Liv, it's okay, but one thing I'm glad about is that we both had each other during these miserable years of our lives" She gave a soothing smile.

"Now, enough of this pity party, let me tell the why i got so excited earlier" She rubbed her palms together which got me so curious about the news she was about to break.

"Well, while I was out for my morning run earlier, I bumped into Jax and the rest of the boys, and they informed me about an opportunity coming from a private organization" She paused to see my reaction and then I urged her to continue.

"Apparently, this organization helps the underprivileged kids, the homeless youngeters, orphans, blah-blah-blah".

"Well my point is, this private organization could be our ticket out of this shithole, Jax further explained to me about how they help youngsters to put their skills and talents into great use, they've visited a lot of underdeveloped places in the past and now Skid-row is their next stop" The look of excitement was still stuck on her face as she awaited my response.

"Look jade, I'm not sure about this 'Private organization' that you just gave a full details about" I sighed, feeling unsettled about the whole thing.

"Besides, how does Jax know so much about this organization?" I furrowed my brows, trying to analyze the whole thing.

"Well, according to him, a sophisticated man who was walking down the streets yesterday caught him red-handed while he was about to mug him" She explained.

"Whoa! That's new, I'm surprised the notorious Jax got caught" I smiled in amusement.

"But why is he not in jail now?" I looked at her in confusion.

"Well that's how the opportunity flew in, that same man is part of the same organization that I was talking about and he was at skid-row to observe the surroundings before they start full work". She replied

"C'mon Liv, these kind of opportunity doesn't come too often" She whined

"Alright, we're gonna go check it out" I chuckled at her drama.

"Now?" She gazed at me with anticipation.

"Oh, is it today?" I gave her an oblivious look.

"When were you expecting it to happen then? When we taste misery completely?" She gave me mocking look while I rolled my eyes at her response.

Soon we got to our location and it was being held at skid-row. According to jade, they didn't want us to feel inferior so they chose a familiar environment for the event to take place.

Big white tents were being set up at every corner, I was a little surprised that something like this was actually happening right here at skid-row. Maybe the universe decided to prove me wrong based on my little train of thought this morning.

The event started and the boys were taken to one side while the ladies were led to another, we were served some snacks and drinks while a little introductory speech was ongoing. Jade gave me a little smile as we listened to a speech that was about how our lives were going to change for the better and her hands trembled a bit, I gave it a little squeeze to calm down her nervousness.

We both looked at each other with misty eyes feeling so overwhelmed at that moment.

Will I finally understand and get to experience that emotion called "happiness"? I thought to myself.

But if had known that wishing for a fantasy to become a reality in my life was a crime that I should never commit, I would have just allowed that fantasy remain an imagination in my head rather than trying to achieve the impossible.

While every youngsters were all lost in that dreamy imagination that they thought was about to become a reality, the unforseen disaster happened.

Kids started loosing consciousness one after the other, jade looked at me with fear and confusion and before I could say anything, she was the next. While I tried to awaken my best friend, I felt myself feeling numb, my eyes were getting drowsy, and slowly I began to lose my consciousness. A little tear dropped down my eye as I regretted not trusting the unsettledness that I had felt earlier that morning.

Why didn't i stop jade? Why couldn't we be like the other kids who stayed back and chose not to dream for something beyond their limits. But instead, we decided to bite more than we could chew.

I committed a crime by trying to be happy and this is the cost. Finally, I gave in to oblivion.

I sat in the gray, airless room of the New York State Department of Corrections, my knuckles white as the Warden delivered the news. "Parole denied." My father, Howard Sterling, had forged new evidence of financial crimes to keep me behind bars. He walked into the room, smelling of expensive cologne, and tossed a black folder onto the steel table. It was a marriage contract for Lucas Kensington, a billionaire currently lying in a vegetative state in the ICU. "Sign it. You walk out today." I laughed at the idea of being sold to a "corpse" until Howard slid a grainy photo toward me. It showed a toddler with a crescent-moon birthmark—the son Howard told me had died in an incubator five years ago. He smiled and told me the boy's safety depended entirely on my cooperation. I was thrust into the Kensington estate, where the family treated me like a "drowned rat." They dressed me in mothball-scented rags and mocked my status, unaware that I was monitoring their every move. I watched the cousin, Julian, openly waiting for Lucas to die to inherit the empire, while the doctors prepared to sign the death certificate. I didn't understand why my father would lie about my son’s death for years, or what kind of monsters would use a child as a bargaining chip. The injustice of it burned in my chest as I realized I was just a pawn in a game of old money and blood. As the monitors began to flatline and the family started to celebrate their inheritance, I locked the door and reached into the hem of my dress. I pulled out the sharpened silver wires I’d fashioned in the prison workshop. They thought they bought a submissive convict, but they actually invited "The Saint"—the world’s most dangerous underground surgeon—into their home. "Wake up, Lucas. You owe me a life." I wasn't there to be a bride; I was there to wake the dead and burn their empire to the ground.

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."

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."
