Mary Jane is a young lady who had a traumatic experience at childhood which led to her becoming a single mother at 15 years of age . Her god father organized a vacation in New York, he convinced her to go only for her to discover that she's to live together with her childhood crush who she still had harbored feelings for.

Chapter 1 The courtroom.

"I say to you that he's guilty of the charges pressed against him today because not only do we have witnesses but also a substantial evidence to prove that he's responsible for the assault of the 14 year old victim on the 3rd , February 2004 ,exactly 8: 00 pm at the earnest street " the attorney paced through the courtroom In front of the judge who was reasoning with what was been said by him currently.

"The victim left her house in a rush to get some drugs to save her mother when he double-crossed her when she was only few miles to the pharmacy she was headed to and carried on with his detestable acts and not only assaulted her but ruined her future ,I plead to the court this afternoon that the judge should consider the young girl and her suffering and sentence the criminal the right way " he paused " I'll recommend 200 years to keep the citizens at rest because this is not his first act " he said and the attorney next to him rose up .

"Objection my lord !" He called "Objection sustained " the judge said and the previous attorney sat down with almost a grumble .

" I'll like to proceed with some invitations and if the court will allow ..permit me to invite some witnesses " he said "permission granted " the judge responded and he turned to the audience and a short man approached in a brown suit fading trouser and a casual white with red stripes shirt ,he approached the attorney.

" Do you swear that whatever you say in this courtroom will only be the truth and nothing else but the truth ?" He asked "i do!" He responded "Take a stand" he said and the witness walked into the plank box .

"i appreciate you for your service " he said and the witness nodded "can you tell me where the suspect was at exactly 8 : 00 pm " he asked " he was at my shop " he answered clearly "what do you sell ?" He asked "i sell drinks and snacks " he replied "What did he get from you ?" He asked "he bought a non-alcoholic drink from me and drank it in my shop " he said "and what were you discussing ?" He asked "we were discussing on how he wanted to change and turn a new leaf " he said and he smiled .

" Your job is done " he said and the man walked back to seat among the audience and the attorney faced the judge with a smile " Allow me to invite my last witness for today who also happens to be a family to the suspect" he urged and the judge granted the permission .

The young and agile man that was obviously in is 60's approached the court and faced the attorney "i heard that your son is not standing in a courtroom as a suspect for the first time , how true is that ?" The attorney asked " It's true " he said .

" Can you explain how that happened ?" The attorney requested " When he was young ,he was involved in drugs and could barely get a grip of his control so he raped a lady when he was not in his right senses" he said "okay , you're his father ?" He said more of a question "yes" the man replied .

" Your job is done " the attorney said in more of a dismissal and the previous attorney stood up again and asked the judge to permit him to ask some questions from the father and his request was granted which made the defense attorney sigh .

He could read that this was not headed to a right junction ,he was terrified of this kind of situation happening because this case was never an easy case to defend because the suspect is a serial rapist .

He was apprehended years ago and after serving his 10 years , he was released and then he went in on it again and this attorney defending the victim is not an amateur attorney ,he's very good and he doesn't have a concrete evidence to just claim that his client is not guilty so he had been praying that he'll give up but clearly he's not ready for that.

"Is he still doing drugs ?" He asked " no " he replied "What proofs that ?" He asked " he was directed to a therapist to help him get over drugs and he's been abstained from it since he came back from prison " "lord ,permit me to invite a doctor who can help she'd more light to this matter " he said and the judge granted him permission , the woman walked to the attorney in her corporate long blue skirt , light pink shirt and her heels clicking to the ground in a soft manner and the man returned back to his position.

She swore and took her stand "is it possible to actually completely withdraw from drugs when you're addicted to it for more than 10 years ?" He asked "it's not possible " she said , she would have loved to explain more but she's not sure the attorney will allow because he just needed one clear answer .

"If you attempt to actually withdraw ,can it have some side effects because I learnt it can lead to some kind of disorder" he said "yes ,it can lead to the patient developing a kind of disorder which I'll call a psychological disorder" she said " and how does that work ?" He asked "well ..it makes a patient hallucinate ..in which he will see things that are not actually there ..it lead to loss of energy and the person will in one word ..be crazy " she explained "Okay ..is there a way to regain that strength back all of a sudden,?" He asked .

" Yes ..if the person drinks or eat some energy foods and drinks " she explained "Okay ..so if the person eats / drinks energy food or drink ...he'll gain his energy back " he asked "yes " she replied curtly "can it also do some other things ?" He asked "it can also make the person crave his past self back " she said "okay ..so you're saying that if I try to withdraw from drugs and I drink some energy drinks ..I can suddenly get the urge to rape a young lady when I see one like I've once done and I won't have the power to change that motive ?" He asked "yes !" She replied and he smiled "i guess your work is done ..thank you for your Co-operation" he said and she beamed a little before approaching her past seat .

" With that said ..allow me to bring in my last witness today who happened to actually get a sight of what actually happened " he said and the defense attorney knew there was no way out any longer, the only eye witnesse was there after all.

"I heard that you saw what happened ?" He asked "yes !" She replied "Do you think you can explain to the court what actually happened? " He asked " yes !" She said "Then ..please..proceed " he said and she faced the judge with confidence to begin her explanations.

" I was on my way home at night when I heard the muffled cry of a young girl, I ran behind the bush to witness the scene and he was there , I couldn't come outside due to the gear of being hurt because he is much bigger than me and there's no way for me to Save the young girl even if I attempted to so I called the cops but they only came when he had defiled the young girl" she explained.

"Where were you when he was raping her ?" He asked "i ran farther " she said "you mentioned that you were scared because he was bigger than you , is there any more reason to your fear apart from what you just said ?" He asked "i recognized him as the rapist that was apprehended before, so I knew what he was capable of" she said with pity for the young girl sitting back there, among the audience, yes ,that was there she was .

"You can return , thanks for your Co-operation" she said and the woman returned "with all being said ,I'll like to tell you what happened ,the suspect lacking energy and bought a drink , he discussed on how he wanted to change but it was impossible for him because the drink already affected him , he was walking home ,not in full control of his system ,came across the young girl that wanted to get drug for her mother and saw it as an opportunity to get an hold of himself again ,so he defiled her and thought he was going to go Scott free but there was an eye witness that already informed the cops and that was the only way he had been caught "he paused after giving this scenario of the situation.

"This makes us understand that no matter how hard hell love to change , he just can't meaning he's a danger to the society " "Objection my lord! " the defense counsel called "Objection overruled" the judge said and he sat down back in defeat .

"He's a danger to the society so I'll urge the court to consider the agony and cries of the young girl and family and also consider the lives they could save by just putting a man behind bars ,as stated earlier, I'll recommend 200 years" he said and sat down .

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.

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 was at my own engagement party at the Sterling estate when the world started tilting. Victoria Sterling, my future mother-in-law, smiled coldly as she watched me struggle with a cup of tea that had been drugged to ruin me. Before I could find my fiancé, Ryan, a waiter dragged me into the forbidden West Wing and locked me in a room with Julian Sterling, the family’s "fallen titan" who had been confined to a wheelchair for years. The door burst open to a frenzy of camera flashes and theatrical screams. Victoria framed me as a seductress caught in the act, and Ryan didn't even try to listen to my pleas, calling me "cheap leftovers" before walking away with his pregnant mistress. When I turned to my own family for help, my father signed a document severing our relationship for a five-million-dollar payout from Julian. They traded me like a commodity without a second thought. I didn't understand why my own parents were so eager to sell me, or how Ryan could look at me with such disgust after promising me forever. I was a sacrifice, a pawn used to protect the family's offshore accounts, and I couldn't fathom how every person I loved had a price tag for my destruction. With nowhere left to go, I married Julian in a bleak ceremony at City Hall. He slid a heavy diamond onto my finger and whispered, "We have a war to start." That night, inside his secret penthouse, I watched the paralyzed man stand up from his wheelchair and activate a screen filled with the Sterling family's darkest secrets. The execution had officially begun.
