She becomes part of his friend's group. Their chemistry is off the chart. Can Emily's new life completely transform her?

Chapter 1 Emily

New life, new college, new person. I left everyone behind. This is new to me. New Emily. I am a new person. I left my town, my friends. I don't think they care about me much. Nobody stands for me. My parents did all they could. They fought for me. I needed to leave everything behind. I can move that way towards the future.

So here I am. New town. A small town. Very similar, yet different from my town. I was born in a small town. Our house is two-storeyed. I'm the only daughter of my parents. My dad is a local painter and mom owns a flower shop. I used to work in that shop. When the evening got busy during the holidays. After school, I used to go there to help mom. My mom loves flowers. My dad also works in the shop. My dad is a painter. He works for a local studio that gives dad orders, and dad paints those things. In the basement of our house, there is dad's studio. He works there. We are not rich and famous in our town. Everyone knows our flower shop and dad's paintings. My parents were well-respected. But after the incident, things changed. We couldn't even take a breath. They all blame us. Me, my parents. It's not our fault.

Today is my first day at college. I have always wanted to go to college. In my town, that was kind of impossible. So my parents sent me here. Away from home, the town, and all those judgemental people. I'm moving into 2-bedroom apartments near my school. It takes 30 minutes to school if you walk and 15 in the car. I don't have a car yet. I will be using the bus.

I wake up early today. On the first day at school, I want everything perfect today. I wear a white tee, high-rise jeans, and sneakers. I brush my long hair and pulled my hair into a messy ponytail, pull down some hair in the front. Apply eyeliner and mascara and my favorite nude lipstick. I take my tote bag to put my books, phone, keys. I wear my glasses, and I am ready to go.

I enter the classroom in my first class 10 minutes before the class starts. I take my seat in the middle row and settle down. A boy comes and seats beside me. I look at him and give him a small smile. He looks at me and returns the smile.

"hey."

"Hey," I reply

"I'm Edward" He holds his hand towards me. I take his hand and smile at him.

"Emily"

"New in town."

"Yeah."

"I have lived here all my life."

The professor enters the class, and we stop talking. I am very serious about my studies. I am the kind of person who takes notes on every single thing. As the professor starts talking, I give all my attention to the class. After this class, I have an hour's break time. I do not know what I will do at that time. I am thinking about the library.

"Hey, the next class doesn't start in an hour. What are you doing?" He asks me.

"I don't know."

"Come with me. I am going to the cafeteria. My friends are also there. You can meet new people."

"I don't think it's a good idea."

"it's the best idea. You can totally join us."

"I don't know."

"Come on. Let's go." He grabs my hands and takes me with him.

The cafeteria is in a different building. It is filled with people. The buffet is on the side of the hall. That's free for students. They filled another side of the room with chairs and tables.

"Hey"

Edward calls someone and sits in the chair beside the girl. I just stand near the table.

"Sam, this is my classmate, Emily, and Emily. This is my high school friend Sam."

"Hello." I greet her.

"Hi" she offers me a big smile.

Sam is beautiful. Her shoulder-length red hair, hazel eyes, tan skin. She looks like Victoria's Secret model.

"Come to sit with us." She looks like a good person as well.

"Thank you."

"New in town."

"Yeah."

"Don't worry. Now you have us. We are friends from now on." She holds her for a handshake. I accept her hand. She is friendly as well.

"Thank you."

All of a sudden, an enormous group of boys enters the cafeteria. All boys. Their average height will be 6 feet. All of them look like a hero. It feels like a red carpet and stars are stepping in the room.

"Who are they?" I ask Sam.

"The star of the school. The football players."

"Oh."

"They won a match yesterday." I didn't even know my school has a football that is this big.

A boy comes to the table and gives a high five to Edward and a kiss to Sam. He is a football player. Sam returns him the kiss. They are in a relationship.

"I missed you." The boy tells Sam.

"Me too." Sam smiles at him.

"Babe, this is Emily Ed's classmate, and Emily, this is Jacob, my boyfriend."

"Hi." Jacob is a tall, black hair, pale skin boy.

"Hi"

Then his all attention goes to Sam.

"They are dating from high school," Ed. Informs me.

"A most popular couple of the campus." They look so much in love.

"Hey lovebirds," someone calls them from behind.

I turn my head, and my eyes meet with blue eyes. He is tall, 6'1 or 2", has brown hair, tan skin, and muscles. This boy is just beautiful.

"Stop doing this kissing thing."

"Someone is jealous," Sam tells him with a smirk.

"You wish. I have my options." He replies to her.

"Meeting in the locker room in an hour."

"Yes, captain."

So he is the captain of the team. Okay. Girls must throw themselves towards him. I don't blame them at all.

"Who is he?" I ask Ed.

"Justin Williams. Captain of our football team."

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 spent four hours preparing a five-course meal for our fifth anniversary. When Jackson finally walked into the penthouse an hour late, he didn't even look at the table. He just dropped a thick Manila envelope in front of me and told me he was done. He said his stepsister, Davida, was getting worse and needed "stability." I wasn't his wife; I was a placeholder, a temporary fix he used until the woman he actually loved was ready to take my place. Jackson didn't just want a divorce; he wanted to erase me. He called me a "proprietary asset," claiming that every design I had created to save his empire belonged to him. He froze my bank accounts, cut off my phone, and told me I’d be nothing without his name. Davida even called me from her hospital bed to flaunt the family heirloom ring Jackson claimed was lost, mocking me for being "baggage" that was finally being cleared out. I stood in our empty home, realizing I had spent five years being a martyr for a man who saw me as a transaction. I couldn't understand how he could be so blind to the monster he was protecting, or how he could discard me so coldly after I had given him everything. I grabbed my hidden sketchbook, shredded our wedding portrait, and walked out into the rain. I dialed a number I hadn't touched in years—a dangerous man known as The Surgeon who dealt in debts and shadows. I told him I was ready to pay his price. Jackson and Davida wanted to steal my identity, but I was about to show the world the literal scars they had left behind.
