Chapter 0 PROLOGUE

Walking down the street to a nearby cafe, I was wondering if my decision to move out of my father's huge mansion was right. I am the only daughter, and that decision was slowly killing me apart. I am going to leave my old father alone in the house, with all the maid and butler we have.

I have obeyed all of his orders before. Until one day he decided to arrange my marriage to his best business friend. One of our family friend. Although I have known them since I was in middle school, their only son was a few years younger than me. That made him more like a younger brother to me. How am I to react as his wife soon.

I entered the familiar cozy cafe with a heavy heart. Never I imagined that I am going to get marry this soon. I just hope he didnt feel the same. I dont want to end up my life with someone I do not love. I wanted a happy marriage where my husband and I will love till death do us apart. For now, hope will just remained a hope.

I walked further into the cafe to a secluded booth far from the cafe entrance. I noticed a few eyes were on me as I stripped of my trench coat and hung it on my chair. The warm air inside the cafe immediately surrounded me as I took my seat. A waiter came over and took my order before dismissed immediately behind the counter.

I felt somebody's eyes were still lingered on me when I suddenly looked up to a far corner of the cafe. I frowned and quickly ignored the lingering eyes and continued swiping my phone. A latest model handphone, product of my own company, Ardell Group and Company.

"Here your drinks.Enjoy." I looked up to a girl voice in front of me. A soft smile appeared on my face.

"Thanks, Anita." I said, noticing a nametag on the right side of her vest. She gave me a small smile before walked away from my booth.

I continued browsing my handphone when a name appeared on the screen. I quickly swiped to answer.

"Stacy, " A husky slurry voice sounded in a distant. Instantly I rolled my eyes.

"Yes, Derek." I replied nonchalantly.

"I...I.. found her. She was here." he said.

Derek was the only friend I have. I never have a real friend except for him. Every single person that I met before was fake. I was from a boarding school, a well-known for every living billionaires in this whole world. Every time I introduced myself as an Ardell every eyes instantly on me. I dont need that unnecessary attentions I just wanted to be myself for once.

And that was when I was with Derek. But no, I was not crushing on him. He was the one person that my father arranged my marriage with. He was the younger brother I never have. After that, I met Kevin, his personal assistant cum his company's legally lawyer. We have worked together for a few times and from that we grew even closer.

His secret was with me, and mine was with him. We were so close just like that. The four of us. Plus Nicholas. His friend I have met him once I visited Valentino's family in Amsterdam. They became my friends instantly because I never really have friends in my school. That was when I was able to visit them. If not because of them, then I am the richest Rapunzel in my father's damn mansion.

I sighed. As soon as Derek finished told me everything about meeting his long lost love, I quickly put my phone on the table and grabbed my drinks. I sipped them slowly, tasting every particles of the cold drink on my tongue. Suddenly my eyes catched a glimpse of note stuck on my cup. A white note with a few words was on it.

I quickly looked around before I turned my eyes back onto the notes.

Smile more, you are beautiful

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.

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.

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."
