Chapter 1

I was once the apple of the Holt family's eye, a beloved child known throughout Palis.

A car accident left me in a coma for three long years.

When I finally awoke, I found a new adopted daughter in our home named Maddie Holt.

On my first day back, my mother held Maddie's hand and said to me, "Chloe, you should learn from Maddie. She's much more sensible than you."

My fiancé, Reece Hussain, also had his arm around Maddie's shoulder and announced, "We're getting married next month."

Late that night, I accidentally overheard a conversation between my father and our personal doctor.

"The blood transfusion was a success. Maddie's body has completely accepted Chloe's blood."

"Hmph, compared to the rebellious Chloe, Maddie is a fresh start and the kind of heir I want. Well-behaved, thankful, always agreeable... that's what a daughter of the Holt family should be."

...

The cold hallway lights cast my father's silhouette into something ghostly.

I held onto the wall, the chill of my fingertips piercing my heart.

Blood transfusion... Fresh start... Heir...

These words exploded in my mind repeatedly.

It turned out that I wasn't unconscious for three years. I was a living blood bank for three years.

I was an unfit, rebellious girl.

My stomach churned violently, but I forced myself to retreat to my room silently.

Looking in the mirror, I saw that my face was pale and thin beyond recognition, except for my eyes, which held a terrifying emotion.

My name was Chloe Holt.

I used to be Chloe Holt. Now, I was just Maddie's "donor."

The next morning, I slowly descended the spiral staircase in my nightgown.

Around the long dining table, the family was enjoying a lively breakfast.

My father perused the financial paper, my mother selected jewelry for Maddie, and Reece, my former fiancé, was tenderly preparing Maddie's food.

No one noticed my presence until I was so weak and unsteady that I knocked over a vase at the top of the stairs.

The crisp sound of shattering broke the warm atmosphere of the dining room.

Everyone turned to look at me in unison.

My mother immediately frowned. "Chloe, why are you so careless?"

Maddie quickly stood, trotting over to support me with a concerned expression. "Chloe, are you okay? Are you still feeling unwell?"

She wore a pink dress, her skin glowing with health, brimming with my life force.

I brushed off her hand, fixing my gaze directly on my mother. "I'm just hungry."

My mother's expression soured further. She put down the jewelry, her tone scolding. "If you're hungry, can't you call for a servant? You're an adult, yet you still need someone to take care of you."

She then turned to Maddie, her demeanor instantly softening to syrupy sweetness. "Maddie, come and eat, don't bother with that useless person."

Reece didn't spare me a glance, instead using a napkin to dab at the corner of Maddie's mouth. "Darling, try this. The sauce is special today."

They looked like a family. And I was the unwelcome intruder.

I pulled out a chair and sat next to my father.

He finally raised his head from the newspaper and gave me a look of mixed emotions. "Chloe, it's good you're awake. You need to take care of your health."

I picked up the knife and fork, but my wrists were too weak, causing the metal to clatter harshly against the plate.

My mother showed her disgust towards me. "So rude!"

Maddie spoke softly, "Mom, Chloe just woke up. She's not used to it yet."

As she spoke, she pushed her plate of neatly sliced food towards me. "Chloe, have mine."

I looked at the carefully divided food, then at her innocent face.

I mustered a smile, using all my strength to sweep the plate to the floor. "I don't enjoy secondhand meals."

"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?

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.
