Chapter 1 Prologue One

.

Mia's Pov

Hi am Mia am 30yrs old and Married to the love of my life Edward.

I want to talk about what I went through when I was just a teenage girl of 15.

During that time I was in my final year in secondary school.

We were preparing hard for our exams and along side also praying for our country as our country became quite unsafe.

We were in class one day with our Oral English teacher Mr Gideon briefing us on the past questions.

We were are all concentrating as a lot of us were not that good in oral English as English wasn't our native language.

While the lesson was on, we heard a loud gun shot and before we knew what was wrong we all fell unconscious.

NB : Our School was a girl's only school.

************

Hours later I woke up with a slight headache, I was feeling a little foggy, I wondered what was wrong, when my eyes opened I was shocked by what I saw, more than a hundred of our school girls were in the room I was they were still sleeping unconscious probably.

They were lying around carelessly, it was obvious that we were brought here, looking around , I discovered that we were in what looked like an abandoned hut.

" We have been Kidnapped " I screamed.

As if hearing my scream, my best friend Cynthia and some other girls woke up abruptly, they were scared too, I wouldn't blame them though as it wasn't easy to accept that you were kidnapped.

" Mia where are we? " Cynthia my bestie asked

" We are probably in a thick forest " I replied judging from the fact that I could hear the voices of birds and animals nearby.

" What are we gonna do Mia? " Naomi a girl from art class asked.

NB : only final year students were kidnapped as we were having our extension classes, seems like it was thoroughly planned thoughðƾ˜....

" I don't know, I guess we just need to wait and see " I replied.

" Okay " she replied.

Looking backwards I realized that by now all the girls were already awake.

I could sense their nervousness, I wondered if the phobia will ever leave us after this , but that's if we are going to escape.

*************

Two hours went by in eerie silence.

Nobody said a word, it was as if we were going to be sentenced to death if we did.

" Cricckk "

The sound of the wooden door being opened was heard.

I was so scared, it was as if my heart was about to jump out of my chest.

A minutes later a tall black figure of a bearded man came into view, his clothes were sooo old that it looked like it has been worn for years.

" Hello ladies , how you people do? "

He asked.

There was no response.

Even I was confused, is this English this man is speaking or what?

Then it dawned on me that the Bandits might not be from an English speaking country so their English is bound to be bad.

" You people no answer " He spoke up again.

Again there was no response.

" Anyways Sha me I came be here to tell you that there's no place you can escape to away from here, once you try to, you would be shot dead, she you people get? " He asked.

Still no response.

" Are you deaf! " The man asked harshly, still no answer.

As if he had enough he brought out a sharp knife and stabbed one of the girls in the stomach.

" Ahhhhhh " We all echoed in fright.

The girl that was stabbed was Eva the youngest among us probably.

" Please..... Save ......me " she cried out as blood gushed out of her stomach.

We were about to move closer to hold the girl but when we say the may who stabbed her pulling out the knife and licking the blood off it as if he was a vampire, we stepped back.

Lina the girls bestie wanted to step forward but was pulled back by Cynthia.

As if sensing our little movements the man stepped closer to us holding his knife fiercely as he threatened.

" Whoever moves any closer to her " will be the next to be stabbed and this time the head will be rolled off"

A chill ran through my spine when I heard that, I shivered involuntarily.

After the man said his piece he went out calling out some weird names.

When he went out, we all looked towards the direction of the girl who was stabbed but we dared not move forward.

" For...give....m...e ..... Mia... B..ut I... don't think that I will.... survive this..... please make sure ... You leave this place as ....so as... possible...bye. " After saying her piece Eva vomited blood and breathed her last.

She's dead.

Realising this fact I found it difficult to breathe, it was like my chest was being squeezed by an unknown force.

" Eva is dead " Cynthia whispered softly, from her tone of voice I realized that she was also holding back her tears.

Later two ugly looking guys came into the hut and dragged out Eva's dead body.

After she has been dragged out , a sharp smell of blood assaulted our senses , it was so sharp that we hard to cover up our noses.

" Human Blood " I thought , the smell was so choking that some of us started vomiting.

NB : they were still in their uniforms.

I was at my own engagement party at the Sterling estate when the world started tilting. Victoria Sterling, my future mother-in-law, smiled coldly as she watched me struggle with a cup of tea that had been drugged to ruin me. Before I could find my fiancĂ©, Ryan, a waiter dragged me into the forbidden West Wing and locked me in a room with Julian Sterling, the family’s "fallen titan" who had been confined to a wheelchair for years. The door burst open to a frenzy of camera flashes and theatrical screams. Victoria framed me as a seductress caught in the act, and Ryan didn't even try to listen to my pleas, calling me "cheap leftovers" before walking away with his pregnant mistress. When I turned to my own family for help, my father signed a document severing our relationship for a five-million-dollar payout from Julian. They traded me like a commodity without a second thought. I didn't understand why my own parents were so eager to sell me, or how Ryan could look at me with such disgust after promising me forever. I was a sacrifice, a pawn used to protect the family's offshore accounts, and I couldn't fathom how every person I loved had a price tag for my destruction. With nowhere left to go, I married Julian in a bleak ceremony at City Hall. He slid a heavy diamond onto my finger and whispered, "We have a war to start." That night, inside his secret penthouse, I watched the paralyzed man stand up from his wheelchair and activate a screen filled with the Sterling family's darkest secrets. The execution had officially begun.

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.

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 fiancĂ© 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.
