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.

Omg! My tears are turning to pearls.

"Mum!!" I screamed,shocked.

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.

Contract With The Devil: Love In Shackles

I watched my husband sign the papers that would end our marriage while he was busy texting the woman he actually loved. He didn't even glance at the header. He just scribbled the sharp, jagged signature that had signed death warrants for half of New York, tossed the file onto the passenger seat, and tapped his screen again. "Done," he said, his voice devoid of emotion. That was Dante Moretti. The Underboss. A man who could smell a lie from a mile away but couldn't see that his wife had just handed him an annulment decree disguised beneath a stack of mundane logistics reports. For three years, I scrubbed his blood out of his shirts. I saved his family's alliance when his ex, Sofia, ran off with a civilian. In return, he treated me like furniture. He left me in the rain to save Sofia from a broken nail. He left me alone on my birthday to drink champagne on a yacht with her. He even handed me a glass of whiskey—her favorite drink—forgetting that I despised the taste. I was merely a placeholder. A ghost in my own home. So, I stopped waiting. I burned our wedding portrait in the fireplace, left my platinum ring in the ashes, and boarded a one-way flight to San Francisco. I thought I was finally free. I thought I had escaped the cage. But I underestimated Dante. When he finally opened that file weeks later and realized he had signed away his wife without looking, the Reaper didn't accept defeat. He burned down the world to find me, obsessed with reclaiming the woman he had already thrown away.

For seventeen years, I was the pride of the Carlisle family, the perfect daughter destined to inherit an empire. But that life ended the moment a DNA report slid across my father’s mahogany desk. The paper proved I was a stranger. Vanessa, the girl sobbing in the corner, was the real biological daughter they had been searching for. "You need to leave. Tonight. Before the press gets wind of this. Before the stock prices dip." My father’s voice was as cold as flint. My mother wouldn't even look at me, staring out the window at the gardens as if I were already a ghost. Just like that, I was erased. I left behind the Birkin bags and the diamonds, throwing my Centurion Card into a crystal bowl with a clatter that echoed like a gunshot. I walked out into the cold night and climbed into a rusted Ford Taurus driven by a man I had never met—my biological father. I went from a mansion to a fourth-floor walk-up in Queens that smelled of laundry detergent and struggle. My new siblings looked at me with a mix of fear and disgust, waiting for the "fallen princess" to break. They expected me to beg for my old life back, to crumble without the luxury I’d known since birth. But they didn't know the truth. I had spent years training in a shark tank, honing survival skills they couldn't imagine. While Richard Carlisle froze my trust funds to starve me out, my net worth was climbing by millions on an encrypted trading app. They thought they were throwing me to the wolves. They didn't realize they were just letting me off my leash. As the Carlisles prepared to debut Vanessa at the Manhattan Arts Gala, I was already making my move. "Get dressed. We're going to a party."
