HER SHADOWED PAST Chapter 1 THE BEGINNING

Like every other night, Jacklyn woke up from her nightmare.

The same dream,

The same strange people,

The ones she'd seen for almost all her life.

She got up from her bed and put on the table lamp.

The florescence light evolved the room,

"Another night, another nightmare." She sighed to herself as she got up and stumbled to get water.

Her study table was still filled with unfinished works from last night,

The cup of unfinished already cold coffee was still there.

It was just four thirty am and she has like an hour extra before she goes for her morning jog.

Instead of lying back on the bed,

She took the glass of water and went to the table to probably finish up her work.

Jacklyn Chisholm is a twenty three year old girl who works as a Forensics Photographer at the NYPD ( New York Police Department).

Her parents were Adam and Linda Chisholm and her younger brother Ed Chisholm.

Both parents live in Southern Manhattan at their old but gorgeous family home while she moved out to Brooklyn after she dropped out of college.

She decided to work at the NYPD after taking intense Crime Analysis Education for two years, majoring in Forensic Photography. A new case came in yesterday morning and she'd taken photos of the crime scene.

She was still trying to find evidence for a murder to case to who the murderer is.

The deceased was a twelve year old boy,

By autopsy report that came later the day shows that the boy was injected with overdosed of propane from his left arm.

He was also given a second degree burn on his back and a metal was stabbed on his back too.

She was so perplexed at the report,

Who's so cruel to kill a twelve year old in such gruesome way?

The Wall Street is getting more dangerous for it's inhabitant, especially for children and teens,

Not talking of the youths.

Drugs everywhere,

Killing and illegal deals.

The police have also lock downed the drug path by arresting the Drug Lord of the Walls over twenty years ago.

The man Big Ray was arrested when a woman, Cynthia Smithson blew up their cover,

The woman died in an explosion on her New Yorkshire house a few days after the court verdict but Big Ray was arrested. Thinking it would become better after Big Ray's arrest,

It became worst,

Crimes everywhere,

Kids going high on drugs and killing,

It was gruesome.

Jacqueline found this cruel and those was the main reason she'd taking the job.

She loves anything photo,

From taking photos to investigating crimes behind photos taken,

She knew for once this was her calling.

She open the files and stared at it for awhile,

"Name: Baron Devaski

Age: Twelve years old...

"Gosh!

I can't do this now." She left the file and rested her head on the table.

It was Friday and she would be helping her neighbor, Stacey take her son to school.

The woman had gone for an art exhibition in Rhodes Island and won't be back till Monday morning,

So she pleaded Jacklyn to help her take care of her five year old son, Bruce till she returns.

She got up from the bed and went to the spare room to check on the boy,

He was still soundly asleep.

She nodded and quietly left the room,

She went back to hers and got herself ready for her morning run,

"It's no big deal if I go earlier than usual." She tightened the laces of her trainers and left the room. Jacklyn walked out of the building towards her car.

She was trying to get her neighbor's son to school then drive herself to work when her phone rang.

Amidst the rush and constant calling of the little boy Bruce,

She took the call,

"Hello who's this?" She asked as she saw the unfamiliar number.

"Hello.

Is this Jacklyn Chisholm?" The unfamiliar voice asked,

"Yes, I'm Jacklyn Chisholm.

Any problem?" She asked the caller,

"Yes,

Your father had gotten into an accident with his truck and has been rushed to New York City Hospital." The caller informed her and her phone dropped on the floor,

Luckily, it didn't shattered.

"Aunt what's it?" Bruce asked when he noticed she wasn't herself again,

He shook her hard,

"Hello,

Miss can you still hear me?" The caller asked

" Aunty Jack." He called her again,

She came back to her senses.

Bruce had already picked up the phone,

"Aunty, your phone." Bruce said to her as he handed the phone to her,

She slowly collected the phone from him.

"Hello Miss,

Are you there?" The caller asked again,

"Yes,

I'm still here.

Which hospital did you say he was admitted in?" She asked the man,

"Lennox Hills." The caller replied her,

"Okay,

Thanks, I'll be there soon." She hung up the call immediately,

"Bruce, we'll have to hurry up to your playschool,

I have an emergency to attend to." She said to the boy,

The boy complied immediately and stayed calm while she strapped him in her two sitter baby blue Camaro.

With great speed, she drove to Bruce's playschool which wasn't very far from her house,

"Bruce, I might be late to pick you up later, so you'll to stay with your teacher for a bit longer time." She said to the boy as he got out from her car,

"Okay aunt Jack,

I promise I'm going to be a good boy and won't disturb my teachers." The boy said to her,

She nodded and kissed him goodbye. Immediately the boy left,

She navigated her car and headed for the hospital,

"I'll have to call to tell them I'll be late,

She fished out her phone from her handbag and dialed Maxwell's number.

Maxwell was her colleague and also the closest person to her.

She doesn't keep friends for reason best unknown to her.

Yeah,

She doesn't know why but she knows she's not a type that keep friends.

Max's number going through,

" Max please pick up." she cried as she drove hysterically,

Max wasn't picking up,

"Should I call Harry?" She asked herself,

Harry's her colleague too and has been throwing sexual advances at her for quite a long time while she kept rejecting his advances.

He was a ladies man,

A player with very sweet mouth,

He's every lady's dream but with very big mouth and that was the main reason she hates him big time.

No,

If she calls him now,

He's going to use it as an advantage to get to her....

She tried Max's number again,

But it wasn't still going through.

"I guess I'll have to call Mr Howard and tell him I will be coming a bit later,

"She scrolled through her contacts as she searched for her boss's number,

There it is.

She dialed the number and it began to ring.

Grin Grin.

Grin Grin.

" Hello Jacky." The mans voice said,

"Good morning sir." She nervously greeted the man,

"Is there any problem?

You don't sound like yourself." The man asked when he heard her faint and nervous voice,

"Sir, and emergency just came up with my dad.

He got involved in an accident and he's at the hospital..."

"Okay Jack,

Go see him,

I give you the day off,

I'll send Max over to get the files." The man said,

"Okay,

Thanks a lot sir." She thanked the man.

She never expected him to go easy on her,

He's always strict and tough to everyone including her but all of a sudden he's being nice,

That's really great start. She arrived the hospital a few minutes later,

She just did a rough parking and ran into the hospital building,

Thank goodness there were no security personnel present at that time to stop her.

She rushed to the nurse on duty at the reception desk,

"Adam Chisholm.

He was brought in earlier today, accident victim" She said to the woman,

She ran through her register,

"Adam Chisholm,

He's still at the ICU." She said,

The nurse pointed her to the direction of the ICU and she left immediately to see her father.

After waiting for a while, the doctor came out,

"Doctor, how's he?" She asked the man impatiently,

He looked at her and she sighed,

"I'm his daughter, Jacklyn Chisholm," She brought out her work ID and showed it to him.

"Oh. Well he'd lost a lot of blood, Miss and will have to be done a transfusion." He said sadly,

"He's a universal donor O Negative and can only get blood from the same blood type.

Unfortunately, we lack that blood type in our blood bank..."

"Okay doctor,

I'm his daughter,

Take my blood." She said to him,

"It'll match his right?" She asked him and he shrugged,

"It should but first, you'll have to some a blood test to be sure it will."

She agreed and followed the doctor to get her blood for the test.

When the result came out,

It was negative,

Her blood and her father's blood doesn't match,

How?

What's going on?

She asked herself.

Her mom was way in India with her younger brother for his brain tumor surgery and won't be back till next week end.

"Doctor,

What can be done to him?" She asked the doctor with a pain filled heart,

"We'll have to find a donor as fast as possible before thing get out of hand." He said to her.

Jacklyn was lost,

Her blood doesn't match her father's.

Why?

Her dream?

Countless times, she'd dreamt of being somewhere else and seeing different people as her family members,

Is that related to this?

Is this what her dreams were all about?

She was so confused and lost in her thought,

"Miss, I'll have to attend to other patients till you're ready." The doctor said to her and it brought her back to her senses.

"Okay,

I'll go inform my uncle about this." She left immediately and drove to their family home that was just right outside Manhattan.

But for once, her thought never left what had just happened.

She's spent the past two years investigating others people and disrespecting their death,

Now she's going to turn hands to herself and solve the mystery that has just opened.

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don’t have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall—the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I’m not just leaving him; I’m taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood—the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.

Six years ago, I was a naive girl sold by my father to the powerful Sanders estate, only to be tossed onto the streets after a brutal assault they labeled "marital infidelity." I fled the country pregnant and broken, hiding from the shadow of a husband I had never even met. Now, I’ve returned to New York with my triplets to sign the final divorce papers and disappear forever. But Archibald Sanders—the man I was told was a crippled recluse—intercepted us with the cold precision of a predator. He didn't see the woman his family destroyed; he saw a gold-digger who had shamed his name. His security team hunted us to a grimy motel, using tactical force to snatch my children away and drag me to his glass-walled empire. In his office, he loomed over me, demanding a DNA test and threatening to throw me in prison while my babies were lost to the foster system. He was convinced I’d cheated, yet he stared at my sons with a haunting confusion, unable to ignore the stormy blue eyes that were a perfect mirror of his own. I stood there, paralyzed by his scent—the sharp tang of rain and expensive leather that triggered the icy dread of my worst nightmares. How could he accuse me of betrayal when he felt exactly like the monster who had shattered my life in that dark hotel room? "I'll sign anything," I sobbed, "just give me my kids." But the game changed when my five-year-old son hacked the tower’s security, holding the skyscraper hostage to save me. In the chaos, a fragile, silent boy—Archibald’s secret son—wandered into the room and reached for me as if I were his missing soul. Archibald’s face turned to stone as he tore up the agreement and locked the doors. "Until I find out why my son is looking at you like that," he growled, "you aren't going anywhere."

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.
