Chapter 1 Prologue

I think we can all agree that life is unexpected. Everything can change in the blink of an eye and matters can slip out of your hands faster than you can imagine; it may be faster than how your mind can process what has happened. Pretty worrying, huh? But it can also be exciting. You never know.

It's easy to say you've got it all planned because I used to say that too. I was completely wrong and naïve. I've never thought that my plan could go wrong. No matter how precise you are and how in control you may be, if something is bound to happen, it will happen- whether you like it or not.

What you plan is something and what life throws at you is something else; a completely different story that you may never have prepared yourself for. It may be better than what you've expected, but it can also be worse. Everything depends on your luck. As for me, I don't really trust my luck to be much of an optimist.

In my case, I don't really know if what I've once planned for myself was better or worse. I might have tried to fight life's plan more than once, but I have to say that I was blessed with the best days of my life. What life has thrown in my way wasn't that bad; however, I have also experienced many emotions in a short period of time; maybe more than what I've experienced in my entire life.

I tried to fight my destiny. I fought hard, but I lost the fight and honestly, I don't even know if I'm glad that I lost this fight or not. All I know is that I'm not the same. I'm a whole new person; probably a better version of myself. At least that's how I see myself now. I'm stronger, more experienced, and even wiser.

Better or worse, it doesn't really matter. There are too many things I'm not sure of and too many thoughts running through my mind, but I'm sure that I regret nothing. If I was given a time machine, I would repeat everything. Another thing I'm sure of is that I was inevitably captivated.

I was four months pregnant, weighing over two hundred pounds, and my heart was failing from experimental treatments forced on me as a child. My doctor looked at me with clinical detachment and told me I was in a death sentence: if I kept the baby, I would die, and if I tried to remove it, I would die. Desperate for a lifeline, I called my father, Francis Acosta, to tell him I was sick and pregnant. I expected a father's love, but all I got was a cold, sharp blade of a voice. "Then do it quietly," he said. "Don't embarrass Candi. Her debutante ball is coming up." He didn't just reject me; he erased me. My trust fund was frozen, and I was told I was no longer an Acosta. My fiancé, Auston, had already discarded me, calling me a "bloated whale" while he looked for a thinner, wealthier replacement. I left New York on a Greyhound bus, weeping into a bag of chips, a broken woman the world considered a mistake. I couldn't understand how my own father could tell me to die "quietly" just to save face for a party. I didn't know why I had been a lab rat for my family’s pharmaceutical ambitions, or how they could sleep at night while I was left to rot in the gray drizzle of the city. Five years later, the doors of JFK International Airport slid open. I stepped onto the marble floor in red-soled stilettos, my body lean, lethal, and carved from years of blood and sweat. I wasn't the "whale" anymore; I was a ghost coming back to haunt them. With my daughter by my side and a medical reputation that terrified the global elite, I was ready to dismantle the Acosta empire piece by piece. "Tell Francis to wash his neck," I whispered to the skyline. "I'm home."

"Let's get married," Mia declares, her voice trembling despite her defiant gaze into Stefan's guarded brown eyes. She needs this, even if he seems untouchable. Stefan raises a skeptical brow. "And why would I do that?" His voice was low, like a warning, and it made her shiver even though she tried not to show it. "We both have one thing in common," Mia continues, her gaze unwavering. "Shitty fathers. They want to take what's ours and give it to who they think deserves it." A pointed pause hangs in the air. "The only difference between us is that you're an illegitimate child, and I'm not." Stefan studies her, the heiress in her designer armor, the fire in her eyes that matches the burn of his own rage. "That's your solution? A wedding band as a weapon?" He said ignoring the part where she just referred to him as an illegitimate child. "The only weapon they won't see coming." She steps closer, close enough for him to catch the scent of her perfume, gunpowder and jasmine. "Our fathers stole our birthrights. The sole reason they betrayed us. We join forces, create our own empire that'll bring down theirs." A beat of silence. Then, Stefan's mouth curves into something sharp. "One condition," he murmurs, closing the distance. "No divorces. No surrenders. If we're doing this, it's for life" "Deal" Mia said without missing a beat. Her father wants to destroy her life. She wouldn't give him the pleasure, she would destroy her life as she seems fit. ................ Two shattered heirs. One deadly vow. A marriage built on revenge. Mia Meyers was born to rule her father's empire (so she thought), until he named his bastard son heir instead. Stefan Sterling knows the sting of betrayal too. His father discarded him like trash. Now the rivals' disgraced children have a poisonous proposal: Marry for vengeance. Crush their fathers' legacies. Never speak of divorce. Whoever cracks first loses everything. Can these two rivals, united by their vengeful hearts, pull off a marriage of convenience to reclaim what they believe is rightfully theirs? Or will their fathers' animosity, and their own complicated pasts tear their fragile alliance apart?
