Olivia or Livy for short. She has been through a lot. More than you possibly can imagine. She has lost touch with her true self. Old Livy may still exist deep within her soul, but to others, she is nothing more than a girl with a stone heart who doesn't feel pain. Caleb pretends to have the demeanor of a bad boy, but he is far from it. Yes, indeed! He is a popular jock, but he is not your typical bad boy. Perhaps he did not suffer as much as Livy did, but he witnessed someone close to him destroying his or her life. What happens if they cross each other's path? Will they fall in love, or will they despise each other? Will Caleb be able to restore Livy to her former self, or will he push her even deeper into the unknown? This story will provide an answer to every question.

Chapter 1 Torn Apart

Olivia stood dead on her feet. Her entire world has been ripped away from her. She is aware that she should be relieved that she will no longer be tortured, but why is she unable to do so? Is it true that physical pain is more tolerable than mental pain?

She has been hurt in both physical and mental ways. It was not difficult to conclude that she is currently mentally unstable. This very thought made her laugh in her mind.

When has she ever been stable?

She has been suffering from the past two for almost three years. As a result, her life is already a living hell, and the incident that occurred today was just icing on the cake.

She can't say that what she is feeling today is anything new. She had already experienced these feelings three years ago. And it has only

gotten worse over time.

She isn't sure whether she should be happy or sad.

Finally, she would be able to leave this place for good. This place has a lot of bad and torturous memories for her. But where will she go

next? Where will she live now?

Oh, yes! She has to go and live with her godparents.

Olivia wants nothing more than to leave this place. She wishes to be free from this world. To flee her demons, which have been haunting her

for several years. But she has to stay strong. Not for her, not for anyone but HIM. The only reason for her to live. The only person who gives

her a sense of life.

Caleb couldn't believe what he was hearing. Seriously, it's atrocious! The whole situation is a total disaster. Instead of spending his entire

vacation in Hawaii with his family, they were forced to cut their trip short and fly back home. Even though there was only one week left, he

was still having a good time there. But his parents did not consider this. Instead of having the time of their lives, they want to help a lost

cause.

Okay!! He may have had more fun than he should have, and he didn't mind returning home, but the main reason for their early departure

from their vacation spot soured his mood.

When his mother called him to his suit, he was having fun at the beach, flirting with girls. That's when he learned that they needed to fly

back to the place, which was only a few hours away from their home. He wasn't told the specifics, just that they would have a new member

added to their family because she had nowhere to go. They revealed nothing else. When he asked, his father replied, "This is not our place

to tell."

Bullshit!!

He is their son. He has every right to know about the mysterious girl who is going to stay with them. But, for them, loyalty to their godchild

and best friends is far more important than loyalty to their own blood son.

One thing he is certain of is that this girl is a carbon copy of his older brother. He can say that confidently because, as he was leaving his

room, he overheard his mother and father whispering to each other. That allowed him to conclude that this girl is nothing more than a

mirror image of his so-called brother.

Caleb isn't usually this cruel. He is confident that if that mysterious girl stays with them, there is a severe reason for it. However, based on

what he has heard or instead gathered through eavesdropping, she may be the same as his brother.

That is his key problem.

Olivia sat in the corner of her house, waiting for the next instruction. Some cops were inspecting every inch of her home, and the chief

officer was speaking with her godmother and godfather.

After what happened yesterday, she has no choice but to stay with them from now on. She can't live on her own because she's still 17 years

old, and because of her unstable condition, they have advised her to stay with her godparents. She didn't have much choice.

Olivia was waiting patiently when her godparents approached her and engulfed her in a warm hug.

"Don't worry, sweetie; we will take good care of you." Ella, her godmother, explained.

"Yes, Honey, you are our responsibility now, and things will get easier to deal with each passing day," David said humbly to Olivia.

They finally left after a few more agonizing hours. Olivia's ride was not as long as she had anticipated, and she was soon at her new home.

She is very familiar with the area in which she will be living. How can she possibly forget this place? After all, it holds so many memories of

her life. The place where all of her happiness came to an end. This location marked the beginning of her misery.

But this is the only place where she truly belongs.

Her home.

Rosewood.

It would be an understatement to say her new family is wealthy. They are completely loaded. It is more than just a house. It's a big damn

castle.

"Come on, Livy. Let's get started in your new house," Ella said cheerfully.

Her eyes widened as she spoke. 'Livy,' she hasn't heard this word in four years. This word resurrected emotions she didn't want to feel

and didn't deserve to feel again. It was buried deep within her. But she couldn't bring herself to correct them. It hurts too much, but at

the same time, it feels good to hear this word again. Livy.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She will not say that this is the beginning of her new journey because she can never start over.

But this is a continuation of her old life.

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."

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.

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.
