. Marrying a handsome multi-billionaire, Teddy Douglas, Lucia was blissfully overjoyed since fate would bring them together. She has been having feelings for him right from school days, but couldn't go closer to him because he is a woman-hater, doesn't attend to anyone, and his introverted nature also makes him less interactive. Their mutinous relationship takes an unexpected turn when, surprisingly, a few hours after their wedding, he tells her to stay far from him and not to disturb him for anything. She got so frightened hearing that. She is an extrovert, and coping with him is an issue. Surprisingly, one day, Teddy came back drunk, slept with her, and she conceived, unknown to them, which he frowned at and even threatened to kill her if she told anyone that he slept with her. When a sinister plot by jealous forces threatens her babies, can Teddy and Lucia put their differences aside to rescue them? Will they find their true love amidst chaos? Will the dangers of their past tear them apart forever, or will he ever change his mind since he doesn't take back his words?

Chapter 1 Lucia's Under Pressure

SECOND PERSON POV

Lucia's phone couldn't stop ringing since her mother refused to stop calling. Picking up her call wasn't an issue for her, but what she could voice out at that moment kept Lucia troubled.

She knows her mother as one who doesn't give up so easily. As beautiful as she is, Lucia hasn't tied the knot yet and that makes her parents worried. She's gradually aging.

''I have repeatedly told my mother to stop distracting me while at work, but she wouldn't listen.''

Raising the phone to see who was calling after a long stay with her laptop working, Lucia saw that a servicing company had sent a proposal to be calling through her personal line.

''I am sorry, sir, I wasn't closer to my phone to pick up your call.'' Lucia apologized as the company manager picked up.

''This attitude of yours will never be tolerated anymore.'' He hung up the phone as he spoke angrily.

She had already had a really stressful day at the office and is definitely not ready to listen to her mother's complaints about her not being married.

Her mother called twice before the company started calling. Her relationship with the manager made him call her direct line rather than the company's.

Her worry increased following the manager's statement on the phone. Going to see him or her mother at home became a difficult choice to make.

"She called back to Mr. Larry to ask for mercy. "Please sir, I will be on my way shortly.

She loves her job so much that she could ignore any other thing to ensure the company is not found wanting.

She picked up her car keys and bag and adjusted her clothes to meet with Mr. Larry in his office.

For her mother, she could go anytime to see her. Lucia has been lodged in one of the hotels in town to cool off her head.

The pressure coming from her family over the issue of marriage kept her away.

Many guys have been coming, wishing to have her as a wife, promising a lot of things to her but she kept turning them down.

Larry is among those who approached her, but she turned him down.

They have been in business for a while, and she doesn't want to join the business for pleasure.

She is a very disciplined lady, so focused and knows what she wants. Convincing her takes some time.

She drove off at speed. Although she's a woman, she runs very fast, particularly when she wants to get something done.

"Larry must be angry at me, I can't afford to lose that contract for no reason. I must have it."

She was having those thoughts and kept spreading. It will take five kilometers to get to Larry's office.

As soon as she got closer, she started slowing down. Moved the car closer to the gate and started honking like a crowd was after her

"Get the gate open very fast."

She scolded the gatekeeper who hurriedly opened the gate.

She packed her car in the parking space and moved fast to Larry's office.

Some of the staff were greeting her while she was responding with a wave of her hand.

"Mr. Larry isn't in the office; he is having a meeting in the boardroom." Larry's secretary stated.

"How long will the meeting be, is it with a different company?"

She was scared that they came in response to what she came for but the secretary couldn't give an answer to that

"I wouldn't know madam, though I haven't seen such a group before. Mr. Larry will be in a better position to explain."

She said as she sat down to continue what she was doing.

Lucia wasn't at rest. She would be very angry if Larry failed her. She drove for five kilometers to come over for the purpose of the contract.

Ignoring her mother was another thing that bothered her. She felt she had offended her mother.

Yes, she doesn't want anyone to worry about her marriage, but that doesn't mean she wouldn't find time to see her mother.

She had no option but to wait for Larry. His lines were off. She did some sms but they didn't deliver.

"Can I go to his office and wait for him?" Lucy asked Larry's secretary.

"He locked his office. I don't have their keys."

A response that triggered her more. She doesn't like to stay at the secretary's office while waiting for Larry whenever she comes.

Everyone in Larry's company is aware of that. Staying there for a period she wouldn't know is a challenge to her.

Going to the reception will be the worst. She has no option. She has to wait. Whenever Larry isn't around, she stays in his office because it is very unique like her own.

In a few minutes, a man came out of the boardroom, and she stared at him but couldn't catch his face.

He dropped a file on the secretary's table. We need this in five minutes. "Type and print them out, is urgent."

When Lucia had five minutes, she quickly wrote a note, went closer to the man. "Please help me and give this to Mr. Larry."

The man collected the note, nodded his head, and left.

Being a smart girl, she pursues the documents the man dropped on the table, which weren't related to the contract she came to sign.

Though her mind wasn't still at peace, it could be for another contract that Larry didn't tell her about. She went back to her seat.

Two messages came to her phone, and she felt it was Larry because he must have gotten her note. She opened them, but none came from him.

A young man of average height walked closer to her. "I guess you recognize me as Miss Harcourt?"

Stretching his hand for a shake, Lucia looks up and shakes her head. "I do not know you, I can't remember."

She refused to shake him and told him to stop blocking her view

Immediately, Larry came out, and Lucia followed him. He opened his office, removed the key. "Stay off." He told Lucia, shot the door as he went in

4.3

I died on a Tuesday. It wasn't a quick death. It was slow, cold, and meticulously planned by the man who called himself my father. I was twenty years old. He needed my kidney to save my sister. The spare part for the golden child. I remember the blinding lights of the operating theater, the sterile smell of betrayal, and the phantom pain of a surgeon's scalpel carving into my flesh while my screams echoed unheard. I remember looking through the observation glass and seeing him-my father, Giovanni Vitiello, the Don of the Chicago Outfit-watching me die with the same detached expression he used when signing a death warrant. He chose her. He always chose her. And then, I woke up. Not in heaven. Not in hell. But in my own bed, a year before my scheduled execution. My body was whole, unscarred. The timeline had reset, a glitch in the cruel matrix of my existence, giving me a second chance I never asked for. This time, when my father handed me a one-way ticket to London-an exile disguised as a severance package-I didn't cry. I didn't beg. My heart, once a bleeding wound, was now a block of ice. He didn't know he was talking to a ghost. He didn't know I had already lived through his ultimate betrayal. He also didn't know that six months ago, during the city's brutal territory wars, I was the one who saved his most valuable asset. In a secret safe house, I stitched up the wounds of a blinded soldier, a man whose life hung by a thread. He never saw my face. He only knew my voice, the scent of vanilla, and the steady touch of my hands. He called me Sette. Seven. For the seven stitches I put in his shoulder. That man was Dante Moretti. The Ruthless Capo. The man my sister, Isabella, is now set to marry. She stole my story. She claimed my actions, my voice, my scent. And Dante, the man who could spot a lie from a mile away, believed the beautiful deception because he wanted it to be true. He wanted the golden girl to be his savior, not the invisible sister who was only ever good for her spare parts. So I took the ticket. In my past life, I fought them, and they silenced me on an operating table. This time, I will let them have their perfect, gilded lie. I will go to London. I will disappear. I will let Seraphina Vitiello die on that plane. But I will not be a victim. This time, I will not be the lamb led to slaughter. This time, from the shadows of my exile, I will be the one holding the match. And I will wait, with the patience of the dead, to watch their entire world burn. Because a ghost has nothing to lose, and a queen of ashes has an empire to gain.
