The Oak Chapter 1 Prologue

They said blood is thicker than water, but what if the water is deadly, vile, manipulative and consuming?

(City of Tusca)

The disco lights made her dizzy, or maybe, it was due to the amount of alcohol running in her blood stream. She staggered across the dance floor, unaware of the two sets of eyes that locked in on her wake.

Why did she even agree to attend such a ridiculous party? Avery Mendez is a straight A student. She comes from a prestigious family of neuro surgeons. She herself aims to be one, and had worked herself to the core in order to achieve her dream. Unfortunately, her constant studying murdered her social life.

So, she decided to agree for a night out, upon her room mate's request.

(Tusca General Hospital)

The speaker announced his name once more, Dr. Falco Mendez grunted and waltz towards the operating room. His shift has ended hours ago, but due to their hospital's lack of competent staff, he decided to extend his working hours-probono, to assist in any emergency concerning his field.

"Doctor, Thank God you're here!" screamed one of the nurses. Mendez acknowledged her greeting with a nod.

"What's the situation?" the doctor asked.

One of the nurses walked up to him and said "Rape victim, severe head trauma, and multiple lacerations to the muscles of her lower lumbar region. Her coccyx also has a stab wound."

"Alright, prep me up." Dr. Mendez murmured.

After a few minutes, the doctor, equipped with all the knowledge that gained him a huge and respected reputation throughout the city, entered the emergency room.

"Her head keeps bleeding doctor!" yelled a young man, wearing a doctor's robe-same as himself.

Dr Mendez can only shake his head. The young man lacks experience, and that is evident by the shaking of his hand along with the high pitched tone that glazed his words

"Calm yourself, before you drop that scalpel inside your patient's wound." Mendez murmured.

The veteran doctor walked up to the young one and motioned to take his place, but before he could, his heart hammered, his eyes almost fell out of their sockets, as his sight fell on the body of his daughter.

"Avery!" the doctor screamed, his heart shattering at the disheveled image of his precious girl

The rain in Detroit was slick with grime when my family finally came to fetch me. They didn't want a reunion; they wanted a sacrificial lamb to marry into the Kaufman empire to save their failing business. I thought I was just being sold off, but the limo ride ended under a dark overpass where six hired thugs were waiting with chains. My own sister had ordered them to "break my spirit" so I’d be a shaking, pathetic mess by the time I reached the altar. They called me "Detroit trash" and sprayed air freshener when I sat on their leather seats. My stepmother wanted a video of me begging for my life, and my father was ready to trade me like a used car to a man everyone called a "vegetable." They expected a submissive country girl, unaware that I was a high-level "cleaner" who could snap a radius bone before they could even scream. When I finally reached the Kaufman estate, I found my fiancé, Barron, slumped in a wheelchair, drooling and silent. But as soon as the doors closed, the "invalid" grabbed my wrist with a grip of iron and whispered a command that changed everything. I didn't understand why my own blood was so desperate to see me destroyed. What had I ever done to deserve a hit squad and a forced marriage to a man they thought was a corpse? But Barron isn't a vegetable, and I'm not a victim. We just touched down at the Moon family gala in a matte-black helicopter, and as the doors slide open, the "broken" bride is about to show them exactly what happens when you throw away the wrong daughter. "If we're going to crash a party," Barron whispered, his eyes burning with lethal clarity, "we should make an entrance."

I arrived at the hotel with Julian's favorite takeout, ready to surprise my fiancé before our big merger. But the moment I swiped the keycard, the silence of the hallway felt heavy and wrong. Inside, a red-soled stiletto lay on the marble floor-the same one I'd watched my best friend Lila try on at Saks last week. Through the cracked bedroom door, I watched Julian's back arch as Lila looked me straight in the eye and smiled, wrapping her legs tighter around him to mock my heartbreak. I fled to the penthouse to hide, only to find Grafton, Julian's "crippled" brother, waiting in the dark. To my horror, the man who was supposed to be paralyzed stood up from his wheelchair, gripped my chin with cold fingers, and forced me to sign a contract that gave him control of my family's shares. He knew about my mother's secret medical bills and used them to buy my silence, effectively turning my life into a calculated game of corporate chess. The betrayal tasted like acid, and the injustice of it all burned in my throat. My fiancé was a liar, my best friend was a thief, and the man now controlling my fate was a predator who had been faking his disability for years. I couldn't understand how everyone I trusted had turned out to be a monster. I was trapped between a man who cheated on me and a man who wanted to own me, with no way out and no one to turn to. But when Julian came looking for me, Grafton didn't hide; he stood tall, looming over me with a possessive glint in his eyes. "Help me destroy Julian," I rasped, realizing that to survive the Faulkner men, I had to become the most dangerous player of them all.
