Chapter 1 Claire Damien

Claire woke up with a heavy knock on her door as usual, she yawned and stretched her body, she stood up,"who's there" she asked, But got no reply. she went to the door and opened it slightly. she peeped out and saw her stepsister, Mitchell standing on her doorstep.She hissed and slammed the door angrily, she went to her bed and sat down.

she looked at herself in her mirror hanged on the wall,she looked like crap, she stood up and went to her bathroom,brushed and showered.

she went back to her room and took her phone, The knock came again. "What do you want!!" She yelled at the person knocking,"open the door Claire.. " A voice said from outside.

"Dad?" Claire asked looking shocked,she definitely just heard her dad's voice. she quickly stood up and went to the door.

she opened the door and her dad was standing right in front of her,she hugged him happily. She wasn't expecting him to come back home by this time of the month,I was early August.

He comes home only moth endings and return as soon as its a new month.

Claire's Dad walked in and sat on her bed, she closed the door and went to him, she sat next to her Dad and stared at him waiting for him to start the conversation.

"Dad, shy did you come back home so early?" Claire asked, she knew something was wrong but didn't know what exactly it was.

Her Dad sighed, "Claire, your step mum always call and report the issue of your wayward behavior towards her" Her Dad said.

"you never came home anytime I call you and tell you she maltreats me, but you did when she called.." Claire said.

" you've changed since you married a woman who already has her own child, you're always in support of her no matter how many times I try to tell you, I dislike this house..I don't even wanna stay here anymore! " Claire yelled and rushed out.

Her father yelled her name and went after her but he was too slow cause Claire had already disappeared into thin air, Claire went out through the back door.

she walked around the neighborhood for sometimes, she soon got tired and rested on a public chair. she was getting hungry,she sat and thought of what to do.

she definitely doesn't want to go back to her house, she thought of going to her friend's house. She stood up and started walking. though it was a long walk, Claire managed to reach her friend's place.

She knocked the door and her friend opened up, "Claire?" Her friend asked in surprise. she was shocked to see Claire in her doorstep breathing heavily. "Hi Natasha..can I come in?'" Claire asked, "Sure, come in" Natasha said.

Claire walked in and met Natasha's parent eating on the dinning table, she exchanged pleasantries with them and they invited her to join them, Claire gladly accepted and joined the family on the table.

Claire ate the food hungrily without caring if she was being stared at, Natasha's parent were surprised to see Claire eating in such manner and knew something was wrong some where, and also, she rarely comes to their house in very early hours of the day.

They excused themselves and left the dinning room. "so why did you come this early?" Natasha asked Claire who was still eating in a rush.

"my Dad's back and he didn't return because he wanted to come and check on me, He returned because my stepmother called him and told him I was been wayward!" Claire said.

"That doesn't still explain why you're here" Natasha said. "My Dad is always in support of her no matter what, I am sick of staying in that house, i don't think am gonna return there anytime soon.." Claire said.

She continued eating and soon finished the food, she drank some water and rested her back filling satisfied.

Natasha's parent walked back in few minutes later and sat back down, "So Claire, why are you here?" Natasha's mum asked.

"my Dad came back today and accused me of been always rude to my mum, I left angrily.." Claire said shyly.

Natasha's parent continued eating, they stopped few moments later and both sipped some water. "We have called your dad and he's gonna be here in any seconds.. " Natasha's Dad said.

"What, you called him, i gotta go" Claire said and stood up, she walked to the door and opened it. Her dad was standing right in front of her, Her dad grabbed her hands and waved at Natasha's parent.

He dragged Claire back to his car and instructed her to get in the back seat, Claire stared at her step mum who was sitting in the front seat and hissed.She opened the back door and sat in, she murmur some words angrily but wasn't heard.

Her dad got in and started driving her home. The car was silent as they drove home, "Dad am not gonna stay with this bitch anymore! " Claire broke the silence.

"you dare call your step mum a bitch, you want this the hard way?, I'll give it to you the hard way!" Her dad yelled and increased his driving speed.

They got home and he dragged her out of the car and into her room and locked her in, "You're gonna stay in there until you learn some manners! " Her dad yelled.

"open the door, you can't lock me in here, open the damn door!!" Claire yelled and kicked the door.She sat on the floor resting her back against the for, she wept silently till she slept off.

She woke up hours later, she tried to open the door but it was still locked. she hissed and stood up, went to her bathroom and washed her face with some waters, she heard a knock on the door.

Claire quickly went to the door and opened it, Her stepsister was standing there staring at her, "Hey, Dad wants to see you now, get your ass out here quickly before he leaves, he has an appointment " Mitchell said and walked off.

"Hey you better treat me with more respect if you don't wanna get your ass spanked! " Claire yelled as Mitchell walked away. she was a year older than Mitchell and had always asked her to show her some respect.

She slammed her door angrily and went back to her bathroom, she checked her face In the mirror and adjusted her hair, she finished in the room and left her room.

She met her Dad sitting next to her step mum, Her stepsister had probably gone somewhere as usual, she barely stays at home while Claire barely goes out.

Claire sat on a chair facing her Dad and waited for him to start the conversation, "So Claire, I'm afraid to tell you this but you are now to stay in this house, in your room precisely ".

"so am gonna just stay in my room till I age and die? " Claire asked. "you didn't allow me to finish what I was saying, so you're gonna stay indoor till we get you a job or something " Claire's Dad said.

"No need for that, I'll get myself a job!" Claire yelled, His stared stared at her in confusion. "No I can't let you do that, leave that for me.." Her Dad said.

I was finally brought back to the billionaire Vance estate after years in the grimy foster system, but the luxury Lincoln felt more like a funeral procession. My biological family didn't welcome me with open arms; they looked at me like a stain on a silk shirt. They thought I was a "defective" mute with cognitive delays, a spare part to be traded away. Within hours of my arrival, my father decided to sell me to Julian Thorne, a bitter, paralyzed heir, just to secure a corporate merger. My sister Tiffany treated me like trash, whispering for me to "go back to the gutter" before pouring red wine over my dress in front of Manhattan's elite. When a drunk cousin tried to lay hands on me at the engagement gala, my grandmother didn't protect me-she raised her silver-topped cane to strike my face for "embarrassing the family." They called me a sacrificial lamb, laughing as they signed the prenuptial agreement that stripped me of my freedom. They had no idea I was E-11, the underground hacker-artist the world was obsessed with, or that I had already breached their private servers. I found the hidden medical records-blood types A, A, and B-a biological impossibility that proved my "parents" were harboring a scandal that could ruin them. Why bring me back just to discard me again? And why was Julian Thorne, the man supposedly bound to a wheelchair, secretly running miles at dawn on his private estate? Standing in the middle of the ballroom, I didn't plead for mercy. I used a text-to-speech app to broadcast a cold, synthetic threat: "I have the records, Richard. Do you want me to explain genetics to the press, or should we leave quietly?" With the "paralyzed" billionaire as my unexpected accomplice, I walked out of the Vance house and into a much more dangerous game.

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
