Chapter 1 The sign

Episode 1

It was a sunny day in the land of the fallen Angels, when a thick wind suddenly began to blow. The wind came with a dark cloud and soon the sun was replaced with a black moon.

Fear was clearly written in the faces of the citizen as everyone ran into their abode, wondering what could have caused such a strange occurrence.

It was at this moment the sacred golden bell in the kingdom of the fallen angels began to ring.

"This is a sign that calamity is about to befall the earth" A seer muttered.

"All elders should assembly in the palace now" Lord Andrew commanded.

Minutes later,they are all seated with fear and anxiety clearly written on their faces.

"You all know the reasons why I called you hear, the prophecy that has been revealed to us years ago is about to be fulfilled..we have to be prepared and braced up for what's about to come" Lord Andrew finally broke the silence. " We have to send a message to the parents of the chosen one. The time has come to fulfill her destiny"

"But my lord..Should we trust Saphira with this duty? I mean she's still young and naive" one of the elders said..

"Mind your words..she is the chosen one" Another elder scolded..

"Excuse me! I'm just expressing my view" The first elder fired..

"Enough of this arguments! Whether she's capable or not,is none of our business.All that matters is that she has been chosen to save humanity and doubting her is like committing a great sin..So we have to trust her, hope I am understood? " Lord Andrew hoarsed.

"Yes my Lord" chorused the elders.

" Miriana! send a word to jun pyo and Sofia..i would like to speak with them" Lord commanded..

Miriana is one of the faithful cabinets of Lord Andrew..She is just like a daughter to him..

"Yes my lord" she said with a slight bow,before walking out.

Saphira's POV

"Saphira! Mirabel! Kizito! come down quickly,it's time for breakfast" Mum called out.

"Okay mum, I'm coming" I half yelled..

I quickly took my bath, wore a casual dress and rushed downstairs..

It's weekend,so I won't be going to college today. But my friends are organizing a house party this evening and i have been invited,I just hope mum agrees.

My parents has never allowed me to go to anywhere apart from school..

I would have sneak out if not for the silly body guard they have sent to watch over me.. I even tried doing that but cilia my annoying bodyguard managed to catch me.

Aish! My life really sucks..

"Good morning " I greeted as I took my seat..

"Morning baby..Hope you slept well?" Mum asked..

"Yes mum" I giggled. "So what's up for breakfast"

"I made your favorite food" mum happily said..

"Really! You're so sweet mum" I giggled and gave her a peck..

"Here we go again,Saphira this! Saphira that! Can you guys just stop all this drama?" kisito suddenly hoarsed.

"Looks like someone is jealous" I teased..

"Jealous? I'm not jealous" he scoffed..

"Whatever" I rolled my eyes.

"Okay guys,enough of the argument. Let's eat" dad interrupted..

We all kept quiet and digged into food,enjoying every bit of it.

"Mum I will be going over to my friends house party tonight" kizito suddenly said.

"Aww my baby boy is all grown up now. Just be careful" mum said,pulling his cheeks playfully.

"Same here mum, I would also like to go to my friend's party.They invited me over" I interrupted,hoping she agrees..

"No! You're not going" Mum abruptly replied.

"But mum,you gave kizito permission to go to his friend's party. Why can't I also go?"

"I said No! How many times do I have to tell you that for some reasons,your movements will be restricted" Mum

"Which reasons mum? I'm no longer a child for crying out loud" I cried.

"I know baby but out there is too dangerous for you" mum leaned forward to cover my hand with hers. "I'm your mother and whatever I do is for your good"

"You keep on telling me this same flimsy excuse,I can take care of myself you know" I yanked off her hand.

"Why are you so stubborn? Alex please explain to her that what I'm doing is for her own good"

"Your mum is right honey,we're your parents and whatever we do is for your best interest" Dad said.

"I know you will support her. Since i was a child,you guys kept on controlling me like I was a robot" I cried. "Saphira stay here! Saphira do this! Saphira don't do this! I am feeling suffocated, I am sick and tired of being controlled" I yelled and ran to my room..

"Come back here! Saphira!!! " Mum called but I ignored her..

I got to my room and fell on my bed,crying my eyes out..

Why is my parents making my life miserable?

Why can't they just let me live my life the way I want..

And what could the strange reasons be?

I really want to attend this party even my crush will be there. No! I will have to look for a way to sneak out..

Just then my hand fell on something, I looked down and was shocked to see that my bed was filled with pearls.

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 fiancée. 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.

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 fiancé, 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.

Marrying My Runaway Groom's Powerful Father

Marrying My Runaway Groom's Powerful Father

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."
