Lost in Amsterdam Chapter 1 One

**Muriel's Pov**

Ever since I lost my father, my joy and happiness ceased and I felt so dead and numb or should I say I've been a robot. It hasn't been easy for me to understand myself and I can't even remember when last I had my bath.

"Muriel we want to talk to you" Anna said after knocking on my door without getting any response.

Anna is my mother, my biological mother but I despise her so much because she never truly loved my father. It wasn't up to 6 months before she started seeing Ben, my soon to be step father, Ben has been trying to be nice to me but hell he will never replace the love I have for my father. It's fine if Anna wants to move on already but I won't be part of any of these stunts they're trying to play, I will never become a Müller.

There was another knock on the door "Muriel are you in there, Ben and I have something to tell you". Said Anna.

Sigh I guess I'll have to answer them, I walked sluggishly and lifeless towards the door of this gigantic room in Ben's house . I could hear them whispering behind the door. I opened the door and saw both Ben and Anna standing in front of the door with a suspicious smile on their faces.

"What do you want?" I ask them

The smile on Anna face slightly turned to sadness but I care less.

"We've been thinking about this and we think you have all right to know about our decision" Anna said and paused. She gave Ben a kind of look and Ben nodded his head like he was motivating her to say whatever the fuck she wants to say.

"Well..Muriel you're well aware of the fact that Ben and I have been courting for the past few months and he has been supporting us with everything we need" Anna took a deep breath and continued "We're getting married in 2 weeks time Muriel" she smiled.

I don't get why she was smiling, what's happy about her getting remarried in just some few months. What's happening right now? Well I should have expected such from the beginning of everything expecially when Ben told us to move into his house because our rent was due.

I was lost in my thoughts that I didn't realize I was getting mad and my face was changing it's colour to a red demon.

Anne noticed my facial expression but at this point I don't give a fuck about whatever they think.

"Okay" I managed to say even tho the words came out broken, I had expected it to sound tough but I guess I was being too emotional.

"Muriel I love you n Anne so much and I don't want to see you suffering in pains, trust me I'll take good care of the both of you" Ben said.

At this point my anger subsided and my colour was back to itself and all that was left was numbness the feeling of no feeling . My face was pale and emotionless as I stared at the soon to-be married couple in front of me.

"Congratulations" I said with a fake smile on my face. They're not as dumb as not to notice the smile was fake. Ben sighed and gave me a "take care" look as he left to his room and I was left with my mom who was standing in front of me with her eyes piercing through my skin.

"Your husband has left here, go meet him. I need to sleep" I said as I shut the door.

I stood by the door till I heard her footsteps moving away from the door then I completely broke down and tears from no where started to rush out. "How could she?" Was the only question I kept on asking myself.

I don't think I can continue in this house anymore. I walked towards my closet and packed most of my needed clothes and underwear with some shoes into my dad's old box. I don't want to ever loose this box. I sniffed the catarrh that was trying to slip down my nose while I was staring at myself in the mirror.

"You got this Muriel, you're no longer the kid you used to be". I said to myself.

**Authors note**

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancĆ©e. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran’s "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father’s multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city’s most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins—the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street—and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.
