Chapter 1 Episode one

~NINA~

"Norah! Norah!" I yelled her name for the second time. Gosh! What kind of stubborn headed girl have I gotten? I hissed and walked to her room, stepping vigorously on the floor as I could also hear the sound of my own footsteps.

On getting to the room, I could hear them chatting and laughing. I stormed inside the room without knocking on the door, walking straight to Norah and dragging her by the ear.

"Ouch! That hurt Mom!" Norah said with groan.

"Good afternoon ma'am Nina." Her friend, Mia spoke.

"How are you dear?" I asked with a miffed tone and stared deeply at Norah with a glare. "Don't tell me you have gone deaf not to hear me calling out your name." I stated and let go of her ear.

"I'm sorry mom, but we were so engrossed in the gist and I didn't hear a thing." She replied and stood up from the bed. I became calm and gave her the list of stuff I need from the grocery store.

"Be back before 6pm, don't mess with me." I warned before I walked out of the room and headed for the kitchen.

~NORAH~

"I will be leaving too since you want to run an errand for your mom. You heard her Norah! Be back before 6pm." Mia mimicked mom and I was forced to laugh.

I gave the list a quick glance as I was satisfied with what was written on it. I almost rolled my eyes when I sighted the last option. "Butter" it was mainly for my step-father.

I and that man have never been on the same side. I feel like he is so jealous I get most of the attention from mom and there is nothing he can do about that. Hopefully when I get an opportunity to leave this house someday, I will do that without second thought. I was actually hoping my saving grace will be the day I get admittance into college. But school has never been my calling. I had to force myself just to scale through highschool. How am I going to achieve my dream when am stucked in this house huh?

"Hey! Aren't you going?" Mia jerked me out of my thought as she patted my shoulder.

"Uh! I am." I mumbled. I walked swiftly to my wardrobe and rummaged through it, finally; my hands rested on a pair of cloth. I changed what I was wearing into a tight blue jean and a big brown shirt with swirled of white on it. We stepped out of my room as I felt mom's presence in the kitchen. I could hear the sound of plates and running water obviously gushing out from the tap.

"Are you really serious about the whole dating thing? Norah you need to give someone a chance you know; not all men are like that scumbag you dated." Mia voiced out as she played with her fingers.

"I have told you countless times that I don't like being reminded of that fool." I added in gritted teeth and with a deep breath I was slowly calming myself.

The awful memories I was trying so hard to erase seems pointless when it came flashing right through my mind.

"I didn't mean to offend you okay; just think about it for a sec." She stated almost like a whisper. Suddenly; she turned with a force and faced me. " why don't you get married to Mr Baker huh? since he asked for your hand in marriage, and he can sponsor you for the modelling career you dream of, besides you don't want to hear the word college." She added.

"God forbid! I rather become a nun than marry that old man." I spoke immediately.

"How do you plan on getting money to travel for the New York fashion audition huh? You aren't even sure they are going to pick you when you get there." She stated with concern.

A smirked displayed on my lips and she looked at me with beady eyes. "What are you thinking? Don't tell me you're planning on doing something nasty." She voiced out in curiosity.

"No! Far from that..." I said and she looked relieved. On getting to a particular route, Mia left as she took the other way after waving me goodbye.

I got a cab immediately as I headed for the grocery store. Fortunately, I got everything I needed, just then the urge for an ice cream started. I licked my lips as I began to imagine the taste of vanilla. I peeped at the change in my bag and there was no much money in it. I cursed and mumbled few words. Is better I get a job, staying broke sucks.

I went back home and met my stepfather sitting with his legs crossed in the sitting room.

"Good evening." I said but he didn't utter a word.

I rolled my eyes as if he could see what I was doing and walked over to the kitchen with my bag and kept the stuff I bought from the store. Mom was not inside the kitchen, so I guess she was in her room.

I walked out of the kitchen as my eyes drifted to the wall clock in the sitting room. It was ringing 5.30pm and I wanted to watch a series so badly, it was a movie I have been following for months now. But with the way my stepfather was sitting in the parlour, I knew there will trouble if I harmlessly change the channel.

With slow steps, I moved to the couch and sat on it. Still; he didn't spare me a stare. "I want to watch a series I have been following for long, can I use the remote?" I asked politely.

He acted dumb. "Really?" I whispered to myself.

I stayed quiet for almost five minute and I was getting impatient already. I stretched my hands towards the remote on the glass table and changed the channel. His dark angry eyes stared at me. "Are you insane?" He fired with an intense voice.

"I'm sorry! You were not saying anything so I thought I could changed the channel. Besides you were not paying attention to what was displaying." I said calmly as I tried to also defend myself from his choleric state.

"So you think you have the right to use the remote without my permission?" He questioned with a scoffed. "You are so useless; a girl who does not want to go to school but only stay at home and watch nonsense. What more can you call such person huh?" He spoke in miffed tone.

I was already boiling due to his insult. Mom has warned me several times not to reply back whenever it happens. She just want peace to reign and my stepfather does not seems like someone who wants that.

Just when I was about replying him, mom stepped out of the room in a rush. "What in Christ sake is happening? Can't you two just behave normal for once?" She voiced out in a bleary tone.

I closed my mouth shut and didn't say a word. Fred (stepfather) moved over to her and whispered something into her ears before they walked back to the room.

I sighed and lost interest in what I wanted watching. I was beginning to get pissed off with everything. I switched off the television as I moved to my room. Immediately I entered; I groaned and laid on the bed. Then a thought flow through my head. Why don't I check for any vacant job online huh? I dragged my laptop close to me and switched it on. I scrolled through it but could not find what seems to be of interest to me, with a growl I turned it off.

I decided to text Mia if she got home safely. It was late already I could have gone to her house. I was so fed up with this place, just the way my stepfather nags can make someone go insane.

Immediately I texted her, she replied.

Bitch! Was she waiting for me to text her first? I smiled and shook my head.

"I told my cousin about you; and he seems super into you. He wants to meet you when he visit Florida." She texted and I gasped.

"No! You didn't!" I replied, so anxious on her next reply as my fingers couldn't stay off my keyboard.

"Of course I did. I have more to tell you, can you come over tomorrow?" She texted again. I laid on the bed while curiosity got the best of me, so many thought filled my head. I don't trust Mia's moves sometimes, she always act before she thinks. I hope she hasn't done something worst.

"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?

The Billionaire's Cold And Bitter Betrayal

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.
