Or will their love for each other turn out to be their doom? Let's find out in this thrilling romance story.

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.

For seventeen years, I was the pride of the Carlisle family, the perfect daughter destined to inherit an empire. But that life ended the moment a DNA report slid across my father’s mahogany desk. The paper proved I was a stranger. Vanessa, the girl sobbing in the corner, was the real biological daughter they had been searching for. "You need to leave. Tonight. Before the press gets wind of this. Before the stock prices dip." My father’s voice was as cold as flint. My mother wouldn't even look at me, staring out the window at the gardens as if I were already a ghost. Just like that, I was erased. I left behind the Birkin bags and the diamonds, throwing my Centurion Card into a crystal bowl with a clatter that echoed like a gunshot. I walked out into the cold night and climbed into a rusted Ford Taurus driven by a man I had never met—my biological father. I went from a mansion to a fourth-floor walk-up in Queens that smelled of laundry detergent and struggle. My new siblings looked at me with a mix of fear and disgust, waiting for the "fallen princess" to break. They expected me to beg for my old life back, to crumble without the luxury I’d known since birth. But they didn't know the truth. I had spent years training in a shark tank, honing survival skills they couldn't imagine. While Richard Carlisle froze my trust funds to starve me out, my net worth was climbing by millions on an encrypted trading app. They thought they were throwing me to the wolves. They didn't realize they were just letting me off my leash. As the Carlisles prepared to debut Vanessa at the Manhattan Arts Gala, I was already making my move. "Get dressed. We're going to a party."

I sat on the cold tile floor of our Upper East Side penthouse, staring at the two pink lines until my vision blurred. After ten years of loving Julian Sterling and three years of a hollow marriage, I finally had the one thing that could bridge the distance between us. I was pregnant. But Julian didn't come home with flowers for our anniversary. He tossed a thick manila envelope onto the marble coffee table with a heavy thud. Fiona, the woman he'd truly loved for years, was back in New York, and he told me our "business deal" was officially over. "Sign it," He said, his voice flat and devoid of emotion. He looked at me with the cold detachment of a man selling a piece of unwanted furniture. When I hesitated, he told me to add a zero to the alimony if the money wasn't enough. I realized in that moment that if he knew about the baby, he wouldn't love me; he would simply take my child and give it to Fiona to raise. I shoved the pregnancy test into my pocket, signed the papers with a shaking hand, and lied through my teeth. When my morning sickness hit, I slumped to the floor to hide the truth. "It's just cramps," I gasped, watching him recoil as if I were contagious. To make him stay away, I invented a man named Jack-a fake boyfriend who supposedly gave me the kindness Julian never could. Suddenly, the man who wanted me gone became a monster of possessiveness. He threatened to "bury" a man who didn't exist while leaving me humiliated at his family's dinner to rush to Fiona's side. I was so broken that I even ate a cake I was deathly allergic to, then had to refuse life-saving steroids at the hospital because they would harm the fetus. Julian thinks he's stalling the divorce for two months to protect the family's reputation for his father's Jubilee. He thinks he's keeping his "property" on a short leash until the press dies down. He has no idea I'm using those sixty days to build a fortress for my child. By the time he realizes the truth, I'll be gone, and the Sterling heir will be far beyond his reach.

I was at my own engagement party at the Sterling estate when the world started tilting. Victoria Sterling, my future mother-in-law, smiled coldly as she watched me struggle with a cup of tea that had been drugged to ruin me. Before I could find my fiancé, Ryan, a waiter dragged me into the forbidden West Wing and locked me in a room with Julian Sterling, the family’s "fallen titan" who had been confined to a wheelchair for years. The door burst open to a frenzy of camera flashes and theatrical screams. Victoria framed me as a seductress caught in the act, and Ryan didn't even try to listen to my pleas, calling me "cheap leftovers" before walking away with his pregnant mistress. When I turned to my own family for help, my father signed a document severing our relationship for a five-million-dollar payout from Julian. They traded me like a commodity without a second thought. I didn't understand why my own parents were so eager to sell me, or how Ryan could look at me with such disgust after promising me forever. I was a sacrifice, a pawn used to protect the family's offshore accounts, and I couldn't fathom how every person I loved had a price tag for my destruction. With nowhere left to go, I married Julian in a bleak ceremony at City Hall. He slid a heavy diamond onto my finger and whispered, "We have a war to start." That night, inside his secret penthouse, I watched the paralyzed man stand up from his wheelchair and activate a screen filled with the Sterling family's darkest secrets. The execution had officially begun.
