Chapter 1 Walk of Success

Chapter 1

"Good evening Miss Anna Jenkins, this way please," one of the security personnel said to me, I gently came down from the car and smiled at him "Thank you Sir" I responded to him, I could feel the night's breeze blowing up my ego and success, what can a man do when you successfully get everything you have been praying for maybe even more than you imagined, I guess it's in that moment you realize you were worth more than you told yourself.

The woman I have become, now I carry the lesson and experience that once broke me, but now it's teaching me; the whole arena was set up for no one else but me, am I surprised? Maybe yeah, oh, but I'm taking it all, the credit, the smiles, the praises, including the hate, although I'm gonna trash that one.

As soon as I began taking a step towards the door, I could feel my swollen legs, not out of pain but success. I felt like they were too big, way too big to carry me, and if I wasn't careful, I was gonna fall off this huge mountain that had been created because of my success.

One thing about life is that you can choose for yourself what you want to be but sometimes not what you have to do to get there, people always praise you, telling you how lucky you must be feeling because of what you have achieved but what can I say, I don't believe in luck at all, it has its own people and lovers, some of us who were never lovers of luck end up fighting to get our way through all the time, it's as though it doesn't even know us by name so it doesn't favor us.

But I got to know that all hope's not because there's something way bigger, better, and more effective than luck and that's Grace, I believe in grace not luck because, unlike luck, grace does have its own people and it's not a lover of anyone, Grace works in mysterious ways, luck can come three times in a day but Grace comes maybe six times in a lifetime but each moment of grace sets you up for years sometimes generations to come.

Grace brought me this far; she remembered me after years of neglecting me.

"There she is, you are looking absolutely amazing, I'm sorry I couldn't pick you up I had to make arrangements for your arrival" That was my PA, Josh Henderson, a wonderful young man who became my best friend just, I can't believe how much we never really liked each other in college, although there's nothing romantic going on between us, this is what I can say, I do remember saying that Grace sets you up for a lifetime

Josh wasn't the worst person I had met so I had way worse than him but the one different thing was that he came as an honest hater, he always told me the truth, sometimes it wasn't a bad truth, his words weren't twisted sometimes I began to wonder if he actually hated him the way he claimed he did but he was one of the people who made me prove myself to the world and I know Grace used him to ginger me and get me out of my comfort zone.

"Miss Anna, they are ready for you" he said and I smiled placing my hands on his while we both walked in and as soon as my presence was felt, you could feel the walls of the magnificent hall collapsing due to the thunderous round of applause, I tried to keep my composure but I felt like crying out my eyes out, oh it's me, that Anna, who ever thought I could make it this far but it's all true, I closed my eyes and opened them but it wasn't an imagination, this one is real oh God it's so real the people are no longer in my thoughts, the decorations are no longer been pictured in my mind, they were all real, Josh left me and went to take his seat in the front row while I gracefully walked up to the stage, as soon as I got there I lowered my head not to them but to God which followed with the sign of the Cross.

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, I am so glad to have you all here, truly I'm so honored and I would love to begin this note by thanking God, I can't deny that I wouldn't be here if not for him I wouldn't be here, the book "Her wild imagination" it's not just a story it's my story, it's about Anna Jenkins or Anaa bad luck as I would often call myself. Believe me the bad luck wasn't about dipping your foot in water while wearing a stockings or your umbrella getting spoilt in the rain or your crush not noticing you, those things can be forgotten in a day but some incidents can àleave you doubting yourself, over and over again and I can't begin to imagine just how much of a loser I called myself, and there's always that one question I asked, Why it just couldn't be me? You know, getting accepted, getting the best part of the meal or getting surprised in a wonderful way it's never me" I paused trying hard not to cry, I'm not just telling tales most people hear from every successful person out there, but this was my life, my journey, my experience, my pains and tears, they were not just tales they were moments and I can't let them feel I'm trying to buy their sympathy because it's way too cheap for my standards now, yes now. After all, there were times I wanted them to be heard, to be understood, but not anymore. I turned the first page of my book, took a deep breath I looked up at them, and began reading

"Well, anyway, I think it's time; let's begin, shall we? Her wild imagination by Anna Jenkins, I could remember that very afternoon as though it was just yesterday.....

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.

For seventeen years, I was the crown jewel of the Kensington empire, the perfect daughter groomed for a royal future. Then, a cream-colored envelope landed in my lap, bearing a gold crest and a truth that turned my world into ice. The DNA test result was a cold, hard zero percent-I wasn't a Kensington. Before the ink could even dry, my parents invited my replacement, a girl named Alleen, into the drawing room and treated me like a trespasser in my own home. My mother, who once hosted galas in my honor, wouldn't even look me in the eye as she stroked Alleen's arm, whispering that she was finally "safe." My father handed me a one-million-dollar check-a mere tip for a billionaire-and told me to leave immediately to avoid tanking the company's stock price. "You're a thief! You lived my life, you spent my money, and you don't get to keep the loot!" Alleen shrieked, trying to claw the designer jacket off my shoulders while my "parents" watched with clinical detachment. I was dumped on a gritty sidewalk in Queens with nothing but three trunks and the address of a struggling laborer I was now supposed to call "Dad." I traded a marble mansion for a crumbling walk-up where the air smelled of exhaust and my new bedroom was a literal storage closet. My biological family thought I was a broken princess, and the Kensingtons thought they had successfully erased me with a payoff and a non-disclosure agreement. They had no idea that while I was hauling trunks up four flights of stairs, my secret media empire was already preparing to move against them. As I sat on a thin mattress in the dark, I opened my encrypted laptop and sent a single command that would cost my former father ten million dollars by breakfast. They thought they were throwing me to the wolves, but they forgot one thing: I'm the one who leads the pack.

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 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.
