Chapter 1 Blind date

~Eva's POV~

I entered the big luxurious restaurant. I looked around in search of my blind date. I picked up my phone from my black leather handbag and dialed the last number.

"Over here", Damien signaled with his hands. I went towards the direction of his hand. I was nervous. No that's not the word to explain how I am feeling right now. I was rather annoyed. Caressing my bumps , I assured myself the hundredth time . It must end up like the others .

"Hello" I greeted and reluctantly sat on the chair opposite his . He was my third blind date.

"I think I might like you" he said with a big smile. "Eva right?" he snaps his finger, still smiling. His arrogant attitude was already driving me crazy . If only he knew who he was meddling With .

smiling, I nodded. I handed my business card over to him. 'Ab Food and co LTD', he read aloud.

'Yes', I replied sipping from the cup of coffee the waiter brought earlier before going to attend to other customers... Soon he came back to us.

"what would you like to eat?" He asked extending the menu to us. I collected the menu and scanned through it .

"Pasta with red sauce . And please add enough pepper " I pointed out. The waiter looked in Damien's direction, enquiring what he would like to eat.

" hum... I will also go with the pasta, he said.

"Why would you want to marry me?' I asked looking him directly in the eye. His golden – brown eyes fitted perfectly to his arched bushy brows.

He kept on staring at me . Precisely he doesn't have a reason.

"Everything...just everything" he said finally . That was supposed to be a lovely comment but to me it was the opposite.

"Or is it because of the company?", I said ...or my dad? These are the two reasons I could think of.

"You see" I sat up and gave space for the waiter to drop the food that we ordered. I forced a mouthful of the pasta to my mouth, allowing the red sauce sprinkle on my white dress and all over my mouth. That was just to drive Damien away but instead he offered me a wiper "How annoying," I muttered

"I miss my past lifestyle. The way I live when I was in California" I smiled . Earlier on I had browsed the internet in search of the easiest way to ruin a blind date . Being proud of your dirty past was the one I picked. Although I didn't have any, I forged One for myself.

" What do you miss about your past lifestyle" Damien picked interest and ask.

'I Miss the way men look at me! . They way they touch me ' she says and alongside demonstrated with gestures . Do you know what they call me then ?,she ask with a grin on her cheeks. They call me....

'Enough'!, Damien growl he picked up his jacket and stumble out in anger . That was all I needed from him . What other way could I have used? .I couldn't just tell him that I wasn't interested, it would prolong everything.

I laugh loudly attracting the attention of the others in the restaurant. 'sorry' I stopped suddenly and bowed in apology. I won't easily forget to get my self together . I'm the daughter of a billionaire. Everyone's eyes were all on me .I took my hand bag and walked out.

I entered my red Lexus LX 600 and drove off . Soon enough I was home. My heart beat faster every single tiled step I climbed. I prayed that the chairman would be asleep already. I am not ready for end of date report.

I open the door handle quietly to avoid attracting attention. With my shoes on my hands, I tiptoed inside .

I entered the sitting room to behold the chairman sitting on the long sofa . He was probably sleeping or watching the television. I wished it was the later .

" How was the date? "Chairman Huxley asked ..I was dazed . I stood at the spot Without moving. I wanted to be sure if I actually heard his voice or I was hallucinating

"I hope he was good enough, your kind of man? I picked him specially" he said smiling. I bit my lips in anger .

'It went well sir' I finally said and made my way to the stairs but was stopped .

"Here ,... sit' he gestured me to the sit in front of him . He turned off the television and took the last sip of Alcohol in his glass.

I blinked my eyes, staring curiously at him for a moment. but then I could feel my knee getting weaker with the way he stared at me . Obediently I took the closest couch and clasped my hands on my laps.

"I got a call from your date" he grumbled. "What was that? You said it went well or perhaps you meant that you drove him away like you always do to others? I told you he is an important one !" he growled . I didn't have any explanation to give him ,neither do I feel guilty.

"Why do you keep doing this? " he glared at me with disgust.

'Father! ...' I tried to give an explanation. "I don't want to get married just like that. I am not interested. Besides he doesn't like me, he only adores Ab food and co ' I mustard courage and said . "I want to fall in love and marry the man of my dreams, I pleaded. Almost subbing. That has been my desire. The way normal class citizens do. I live my life here everyday as if it has been programmed .

"love? ..' Look at what you are saying. You are the Successor of Ab food and co" he pointed out. I hate been reminded of that. Not that I won't like to be the owner someday but using it as an excuse to torture me .

He coughed continuously making me grab a glass of water over to him .

"You can't own the Company if you don't provide a husband for yourself and a Son- in law for me "he continued.

"I will do just that Dad! ' I faked a smile trying hard to keep him calm. His health condition might get worst if I don't play along .

"That's more like it . You better do that quickly. Meanwhile, you have another date tomorrow at the normal time and location. You must be so exhausted go to bed . I will text you the details tomorrow morning" .he concluded and switched the television back on

I began panicking with crazy imagination. ' who would it be this time?' I wondered .

The look on chairman Huxley's face was mean . I knew he meant every word he had said .

Too Late: The Spare Daughter Escapes Him

SHANA GRAY

I died on a Tuesday. It wasn't a quick death. It was slow, cold, and meticulously planned by the man who called himself my father. I was twenty years old. He needed my kidney to save my sister. The spare part for the golden child. I remember the blinding lights of the operating theater, the sterile smell of betrayal, and the phantom pain of a surgeon's scalpel carving into my flesh while my screams echoed unheard. I remember looking through the observation glass and seeing him-my father, Giovanni Vitiello, the Don of the Chicago Outfit-watching me die with the same detached expression he used when signing a death warrant. He chose her. He always chose her. And then, I woke up. Not in heaven. Not in hell. But in my own bed, a year before my scheduled execution. My body was whole, unscarred. The timeline had reset, a glitch in the cruel matrix of my existence, giving me a second chance I never asked for. This time, when my father handed me a one-way ticket to London-an exile disguised as a severance package-I didn't cry. I didn't beg. My heart, once a bleeding wound, was now a block of ice. He didn't know he was talking to a ghost. He didn't know I had already lived through his ultimate betrayal. He also didn't know that six months ago, during the city's brutal territory wars, I was the one who saved his most valuable asset. In a secret safe house, I stitched up the wounds of a blinded soldier, a man whose life hung by a thread. He never saw my face. He only knew my voice, the scent of vanilla, and the steady touch of my hands. He called me Sette. Seven. For the seven stitches I put in his shoulder. That man was Dante Moretti. The Ruthless Capo. The man my sister, Isabella, is now set to marry. She stole my story. She claimed my actions, my voice, my scent. And Dante, the man who could spot a lie from a mile away, believed the beautiful deception because he wanted it to be true. He wanted the golden girl to be his savior, not the invisible sister who was only ever good for her spare parts. So I took the ticket. In my past life, I fought them, and they silenced me on an operating table. This time, I will let them have their perfect, gilded lie. I will go to London. I will disappear. I will let Seraphina Vitiello die on that plane. But I will not be a victim. This time, I will not be the lamb led to slaughter. This time, from the shadows of my exile, I will be the one holding the match. And I will wait, with the patience of the dead, to watch their entire world burn. Because a ghost has nothing to lose, and a queen of ashes has an empire to gain.

Marrying My Runaway Groom's Powerful Father

I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires. Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancé, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world. My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets. I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her. The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money. I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table. "Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead."
