Loving the Man Without A Heart Chapter 1 LTMWAH: 1

"YOU ARE perfect. Just simply perfect, my dear," the gay designer remarked. "And I'm already dying of jealousy because you are such a perfect bride for Aiden." His name was Shawie. He was smiling from ear to ear as he took her measurements for the wedding gown. She was at Aiden's villa in Tagaytay, the man she will marry in three months.

From the villa's living room, she could see the beautiful view of Taal Lake. Aiden was preparing for the wedding. From her expensive wedding gown to the fairytale-like ceremony that would be held in his villa's garden. She could not believe that she would be getting married in three months. A month ago, it was not part of her plan. But in just a snap of a finger, things changed, and she will be having a grand wedding. A wedding that was every lady's dream.

"Hey, why aren't you smiling?" Shawie asked as he measured her neck. "Brides are supposed to be always smiling."

She flinched at the sound of his voice. She forced a smile as she saw the worry on his face. "I'm thinking about the wedding gown I prefer."

"Yeah, that's indeed a big problem," he said and put the tape measure around her neck. Then he noted her measurement in his notebook. "Because you'll find it hard to decide which of my gown you will wear from my amazing designs. Of course, you want a perfect fairytale gown."

People told her that she was a modern Cinderella. She was just a mere seamstress from the town of San Luis. But now, she would be Mrs. Aiden dela Merced. She will marry the man of every girl's dream. Aiden owned the luxury around her. He was also one of the heirs of Brava International Hotels that had branches abroad.

But she could not feel any joy in her heart, unlike other soon-to-be-brides, despite the luxury waiting for her or her almost perfect groom. Something was missing. She was not in love with her future husband.

"Shawie, has Esmeralda chosen a wedding gown yet?" Lexie, Aiden's personal assistant, asked. She was perfect from her pixie haircut, ruffled white blouse, navy blue pencil skirt, and black pumps. She was more suited in that elegant villa than a province girl like her.

"Not yet," Shawie replied. "I was just done taking her measurements."

Esmeralda plopped down on the sofa weakly. It was as if she was already exhausted from standing as she got measured. She could only imagine her head exploding when it was about time to choose the design of her gown. It was one of the few things she'd have to worry about and the guests to invite since Aiden's wedding coordinator already took care of everything.

"Can you help me choose a gown, Lexie?" Esmeralda asked Lexie softly.

"Sure. Aiden sent me here to help you out. Any designs in mind?" she asked in a formal tone as she sat beside her and opened the collection of Shawie's design. "I am sure you have a dream wedding gown in mind."

"T-the truth is I don't have anything in mind. I'm too preoccupied. I just wanted a simple wedding gown." And cheap, if possible. She did not want Aiden to spend that much. She had her own design because she was a seamstress, but nothing looked like Shawie's design at all.

"No. A simple wedding gown won't do. Aiden wants to make this as grand as possible. I think this off-shoulder ballgown is perfect for you."

She smiled blandly and nodded in submission. When it comes to fashion and anything luxurious, it was up to Lexie. Aiden's assistant was great at that. Though it looked grand to her taste, she could not do anything about it. Lexie always had the final say. It was her job to make sure that her wedding with Aiden would look expensive. It was not about her as a bride.

"Excuse me, Ma'am Esmeralda," a helper carrying the cordless phone interrupted. "You have a call."

Her brows furrowed. "From who?" she asked. If it was Aiden, he would have directly called her cell phone.

"From Sir Amadeus," the helper replied, already looking pale.

Esmeralda felt cold. She could not reach for the phone when she found out who was on the other line. Amadeus dela Merced was Aiden's brother, the CEO and President of Brava International Chain of Hotels. The helpers and Lexie could prove how cruel and rude he was. He was very different from his brother Aiden who was kind to his employees and calm most of the time.

She still did not know what to say to him when she meets him. But she was not hoping he would accept her as a sister-in-law. Because he was the reason why she and Aiden had to get married in the first place.

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."

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.
