THE SIGN OF LOVE Chapter 1 FIRST SIGHT OF HER

City P International Airport

Inside the black Mercedes-Benz, parked at the main entrance of the airport, is Lucas Saavedra. He is waiting for his sister Lucy Saavedra who just finished her master's degree in U Country.

He doesn't want to be late because of the traffic, which is typical in the city. He brought some documents to read to avoid wasting his time while waiting for his sister's arrival.

After reading the proposal for the land that their company is planning to acquire, he leaned back and closed his eyes.

A few minutes after, Lucas checked the time and decided to get some coffee nearby. He entered the coffee shop and sat by the window. Lucas then saw a reflection of a woman talking in sign language on the other side of the table in front of him. Although he can only see one side of her face through the glass window, he can tell from her side profile and her sexy back that she must be a beautiful lady.

Lucas shook his head in disbelief. He can't believe that he's acting like a pervert right now inside the coffee shop.

The waitress's greeting disrupted his thoughts. "Welcome to Hara's Coffee Shop Sir!" Said the waitress in front of him. "Are you ready to make an order?" She said politely with her pen and paper in her hands.

"Yes, a black coffee please," he replied. He then noticed a male waiter heading to the woman's side, signing something at her. She signed back at the waiter and then returned her attention to her laptop.

The video chat ended, but she became busy typing. The waiter came back, pushing a wheelchair towards the woman. She then held onto the table for support and sat in the wheelchair. Her movements were so graceful that Lucas was enchanted. He is like watching a short dance clip in the way she moves her body. Even though it seemed like she's been in the wheelchair forever, he can tell that she wasn't born that way.

She wheeled herself to the door for employees only, leaving her laptop on the table.

'Interesting,' he thought. He then looked at the laptop on the table and saw the screensaver. The woman forgot to shut it down. Out of curiosity, he peeked on the computer and saw the logo. He's trying to recall where he saw that logo. It seemed familiar, and he's trying to remember where he saw it.

His phone rings while he is busy thinking about the logo. Shaking his head, he picked up his phone nestling on the table and quickly answered it when he saw the caller's name.

"Where are you now?" He asked in a cold tone. He is sure that her plane had landed, that's why she called him.

"Hello to you too, brother!" She pouts. 'He didn't even greet her first before asking her location,' she thought annoyingly.

"Picking up my luggage!" She said in a sarcastic tone, then hung up the phone.

He shook his head and got up to return to his car. He knows that she'll be out pretty soon, and he doesn't want to waste another minute with her.

As soon as he was seated inside his Mercedes Benz, he saw her coming with her pink luggage shining brightly, almost blinding the people on the opposite side. He chuckled. He's only fifteen minutes older than her, but she seemed like she stopped growing after their eighteenth birthday.

The driver opened the door for her as she pouted, going inside the car.

"Hello there brother!" She said in an annoyed tone.

He did not reply and nodded to the driver. She looked at him with a crossed arm and asked, "So, how are you doing brother?" Lucy was annoyed that his brother didn't even seem like he missed her.

"Okay," he said, not elaborating anything, and did not bother to look at her either.

"Hmph!" She turned her back on him and decided to watch the scenery outside. It is more delightful than talking to her brother. 'If only you can choose a sibling,' she thought. They are like hot and cold water. Of course, the hot one is her, and the cold one is her brother.

The ride home was calm and quiet since none of them started a conversation again.

"Welcome back, Miss Lucy," the butler greeted her with a broad smile and slightly bowed his head.

"Oh! Santiago! I'm glad to be back! I missed you!" Lucy said happily, giving him a quick hug. Santiago shook his head and patted her back. 'She's still the childish Lucy,' he said to himself.

Lucas gave the butter a nod and gestured to his driver to go.

Lucy looked back and saw her brother's car leaving, 'seriously,' she mumbled. She doesn't know if she'll be happy that her brother is dedicated to their company, or she will pity him for losing a life outside. Lucy shrugged her shoulder and decided to go straight to her room to rest. She had a long flight, and a good rest is badly needed to refresh herself before starting her first day of work tomorrow.

LS Company

As soon as Ben Francisco saw his boss's car entering the parking lot, he immediately put aside the documents that he was organizing and went down to meet him at the reception.

"Sir Lucas," he called and waited for him to reply before he continued to say something. It's been his habit of getting his attention before moving on to what he needs to say or do. Ben learned his lesson the hard way, and that's enough.

"Mmm," his reply is enough for him to know if he is in a bad mood or not.

"Mrs. Saavedra wanted you to accompany her to a charity gala tonight," he swallowed his saliva after saying it all. He knows that his boss hates it when people don't give him enough notice or invitation to attend an event. But this invitation comes from his grandmother, so he needs to tell him even if it will upset him or his job will be in jeopardy.

Lucas's face turned gloomy. His grandma knows how to irritate him, but he loves her so much that he can't get angry with her for long. He wondered what this charity gala is all about this time. The last time he accompanied her to a charity, she was like selling him to the highest bidders.

With a deep sigh, he said, "Okay, you know what to do." He went into his office to start his day. Lucas wasted half of his day already. He thought of working overtime tonight to catch up with his work, but apparently, his grandma has a plan for him tonight.

"Yes, boss!" He was relieved with his reply. Ben Francisco hurriedly reached for his phone in his pocket and called Mrs. Saavedra.

"Madam," he said respectfully. "Sir Lucas will pick you up at seven tonight," he said nervously.

"Hmm..." Mrs. Saavedra knows that Lucas cannot say 'no' to her, so his

assistant's call is only for confirmation.

I was the titan of Wall Street until an indictment and an ankle monitor turned my penthouse into a gilded cage. To save face, I was forced into a marriage with Elza, a "mute" girl from the Schmidt family whom I treated as nothing more than a silent piece of furniture while my empire crumbled. The night I was poisoned at a high-society gala, a mysterious server in an oversized uniform saved my life with terrifying, clinical precision. They disappeared into the night, leaving me with a silver cufflink and a burning obsession to find the shadow who held my life in their hands. Back home, I took my frustration out on Elza, telling her she was "exhausting to look at" and "smelled like sickness" after her charity visits. Her own family treated her like a stray dog, trying to humiliate her at the next gala by dressing her in what they claimed was a cheap knockoff while whispering to the press that she was nothing but a high-end escort. "Stay out of my way," I would growl at her, never noticing the steel in her eyes. I sat at my table, watching my rivals' stocks plummet and wondering who "The Zero"—the legendary financial ghost—really was. I never suspected that the woman I ignored was the same one solving the equations that were currently burning Manhattan to the ground. The injustice peaked when Elza stood before the city's elite, not as a victim, but as a queen. She dropped over a hundred million dollars to buy back her family’s legacy, revealing a secret fortune that made my own empire look like pocket change. As I grabbed her wrist and saw the small red mole hidden beneath her watch, the truth hit me like a physical blow. The silent wife I had despised was the savior I had been hunting, and she was finally done playing the victim. "We have a lot to talk about, wife," I whispered, realizing I had been sleeping next to the most dangerous woman in the world.

The heavy iron gates of the Wilderness Correction Camp groaned as they released me after three years of state-sponsored hell. I stood on the dirt road, clutching a plastic bag that held my entire life, waiting for the family that claimed they sent me there for "rehab." My brother, Brady, picked me up in a luxury SUV only to throw me out onto a deserted highway in the middle of a brewing storm. He told me I was a "public relations nightmare" and that the rain might finally wash the "stink" of the camp off me. He drove away, leaving me to limp miles through the mud on a snapped ankle. When I finally dragged myself to our family estate, my mother didn't offer a hug; she gasped in horror because my muddy clothes were ruining her Italian marble. They didn't give me my old room back. Instead, they banished me to a moldy gardener’s shack and hired a "babysitter" to make sure I didn't embarrass them further. My sister, Kaleigh, stood there in white cashmere, pretending to cry while clinging to her fiancé, Ambrose—the man who had once been mine. They all treated me like a volatile junkie, refusing to acknowledge that Kaleigh was the one who planted the drugs in my bag three years ago. They wanted to believe I was broken so they wouldn't have to feel guilty about the "wellness retreat" that was actually a torture chamber. I sat in the dark of that shed, feeling the cooling gel on the cigarette burns that covered my arms, and realized they had made a fatal mistake. They thought they had erased me, but I had returned with a roadmap of scars and a hidden satellite phone. At dinner, I didn't beg for their love. I simply rolled up my sleeves and showed them the price of their silence. As the wine spilled and the lies crumbled, I sent a single text to the only person I trusted: "I'm in. Let them simmer." The hunt was finally on.

From Blood Bag To Billionaire Queen

For three years, I was the perfect, invisible wife to Bart Brown. On our third anniversary, I stood in the kitchen for four hours, preparing his favorite meal with imported truffles, only to receive a cold text command. "Crysta fainted again. Get to the hospital. Now." My rare Rh-negative blood was the only thing the Brown family valued. Bart didn't want a wife; he wanted a walking blood bank for his "sick" best friend, Crysta. While I was fainting from chronic anemia, Crysta was smirking in her hospital bed, clutching Bart's hand and mocking my "peasant" lifestyle. Even his mother treated me like a servant, demanding I vacuum the floors after I'd already offered my veins for the hundredth time. When I finally reached my breaking point and signed the divorce papers, they didn't let me go quietly. They filed a false police report, accusing me of stealing a multi-million dollar diamond necklace just to watch me crawl. I didn't understand how a family could be so heartless. I had cooked their meals, cleaned their house, and literally bled for them, yet they were determined to ruin my life the moment I stopped being useful. Did they really think I was a nobody with nowhere to go? Standing outside the hospital with a bruised wrist and nothing to my name, I didn't cry. I simply took off my cheap wedding ring and dialed a secure line I hadn't touched since the day I married him. "It's me, Dad," I whispered as a fleet of black Maybachs rounded the corner. "The extraction is a go. I'm coming home."
