"Get your hands off her!" Daniel yelled, standing angrily at the door with his broom stick. "You shouldn't be here, boy." The leader said, glaring back at him, and one of his men started walking toward him. He moved forward and hit the stick on his head with all his might, and the man fell to the ground instantly. Linda Michael is from a very wealthy family and the only heir to her family's business, but she never got the parental love and care she needed from her parents from a very young age, which led to the hatred she had for them and her wayward lifestyle. While Daniel Wright is a young man from a poor family background who managed to go through business school and came out with good grades, but he still hasn't been able to secure a job. Linda's father wasn't happy with the life she was living, so he forced her to join his company, and later decided she should get married to his best friend's son, "Richard Robinson." After discovering he had lung cancer and might die soon, Richard Robinson was Linda's ex-boyfriend, whom she hated so much. Will Linda get married to her father's choice or will she find true love?

Chapter 1 First day at work (1)

Author's point of view

It was late at night and club 020 was crowded with lots of people at the bar and on the dance floor. Daniel was at the counter pouring beer into different glasses. He was a handsome young man in his mid-20s.

With his great efforts and hard work, he managed to go through business school and graduate with the best grades, but due to his poor family background and the cruel people of this world, he has been in search of a job for the past year. He applied for a job at many companies but was rejected countless times.

He felt like he wasn't good enough, so he gave up on having the perfect job and was ready to settle for less. He finally got a job at this club, and today was his first day on the job.

He carried a couple of drinks on a tray and walked up to a table. He served the drinks to some customers before walking back to the counter with his tray. He kept the tray on the table and started cleaning the table with a cloth when a muscular man walked up to the counter with a lady who was putting on a lot of makeup. She wore a very short dress, revealing her white legs, and there was a huge hole in the front, revealing the middle of her chest and the corner of her two big boobs, and she was chewing gum like a professional whore.

They sat on the chairs in front of the counter and rested their hands on the table in front of Daniel.

The man turned to face her, and a smirk formed across his face as he stared at her boobs and then at her face, admiring his prey for the night while she looked at him with seductive eyes.

Daniel suddenly placed two glasses with ice cubes in front of them. "May I have your order?" he asked in a polite tone, and they turned to look at him at the same time.

"Oh my... hello handsome" The lady muttered in a sexy tone and started making seductive eyes at him. She rested her two hands on the table and turned to face him, showing him her exposed boobs, and he quickly avoided looking at her boobs.

"Oh no, not again." He cursed under his breath as he turned his gaze to the man. He'd gotten the same reaction from several ladies in one night.

The man's expression darkened as he looked back at him, sending a weird shiver down Daniel's spine.

"Give me a glass of water." He ordered in a deep tone.

"On it," Daniel replied and looked back to the lady, about to ask for her order, but she winked at him and licked her lips seductively. He turned his gaze back to the man and said, in a nervous tone.

"Water, coming right up." before turning around to look for water.

He walked back to them with a bottle of water and filled up his glass, "Your water, sir." He said and was about to leave when the man picked up the glass of water and smashed it on the floor before jumping down from the chair, attracting everyone's attention.

"Who the hell asked for water? How dare you serve me water? Do I look like I came here to drink water? This is a bar for fuck's sake!" He yelled in an angry tone.

"But you..." Daniel paused for a moment. He was lost for words because he understood what he was trying to do. He looked at the lady who tucked her hair behind her ear and turned in the opposite direction, pretending she didn't know what was happening.

"Who asked you for water, huh? I clearly asked for a glass of whiskey. Do I look like a fool to you?!?" He yelled again, banging the table.

"I'm so sorry, sir. I'll get you a glass of whiskey." He said and was about to pick up another glass from the table, but the man quickly pushed the rest of the glass to the ground, burning with rage, and he moved away from the table stunned.

"Where the hell is your manager?... I hate your face; call me the manager, right now!" he yelled, pointing a finger at him, and the manager suddenly ran up to the counter out of nowhere.

"We are so sorry, sir. Please calm down... I'm his manager. It's just his first day of work and he doesn't know how to handle customers. I will deal with him. Please don't be mad. " He said, pleading with him.

"Get him out of here; I don't wanna see his face." He said, glaring at Daniel as he pointed a finger at him. Daniel rolled his hand into a tight fist as he glared at the lady, and their eyes met.

"I'm really sorry. Please don't be mad. I'll get rid of him soon." He replied with folded hands, and the lady got down from the chair and held onto his arm.

"Please stop creating a scene. Let's go." She said in a hushed tone, with her head down.

The manager picked up a bottle of red wine and extended it toward them, "Please accept this as a token of my apology." He said, and the man snatched it from him before glaring back at Daniel.

"Come on." The lady said, pulling his arm, and they both walked away while everyone else looked away, minding their business.

The manager turned to look at Daniel and said, in a harsh tone, "You better clean up this mess." before walking away from him.

He let out a heavy sigh and shook his head, "I guess working here was a bad idea after all." He muttered before walking toward the broomstick.

He walked around the table with the broomstick and parker, and he started sweeping the broken glass into the parker when the door suddenly burst open and Linda and her friends walked in majestically, grabbing everyone's attention.

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.

I stood at the edge of the freezing pond on the Boone estate, my body trembling with a fear that rattled my bones. Across from me, Amanda Olsen looked immaculate in her cashmere coat, a sharp contrast to the jagged reality I was trying to hold together. "Why?" I whispered. Amanda just smiled, admitting she killed Grandpa Boone because he actually liked me. She pulled out a thick envelope-divorce papers Cordero had signed that morning. She told me he called me a parasite and was celebrating with her the night I suffered a miscarriage. Before I could even scream, Amanda lunged and shoved me into the icy water. My heavy wool coat acted like a sponge, dragging me into the artificial abyss. I thrashed and gasped for air, but Amanda just stood on the bank, watching me drown with her hands tucked casually in her pockets. As my lungs burned and the darkness closed in, I realized I had spent my entire marriage taking their abuse. I was the "foster trash" and the "gold digger" who let them win every single time. I was dying alone, hated by the husband I had tried so hard to love, while my murderer stood victorious on the shore. I never fought back. I just let them destroy me. Then, a violent spasm tore through my body. I sat up gasping, sucking in dry, air-conditioned oxygen instead of murky pond water. I wasn't dead. I was back in the opulent master suite, surrounded by red rose petals and wedding decorations. The digital clock glowed: October 14, 2019. I had gone back five years to the very night my nightmare began. The bathroom door clicked open, and Cordero stepped out, looking at me with the same cold disgust I remembered. But as I gripped the silk sheets, a new resolve hardened in my chest. This time, I wasn't going to be the victim. This time, the Boone family was going to find out exactly what happens when you push someone too far.

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.

I spent four hours preparing a five-course meal for our fifth anniversary. When Jackson finally walked into the penthouse an hour late, he didn't even look at the table. He just dropped a thick Manila envelope in front of me and told me he was done. He said his stepsister, Davida, was getting worse and needed "stability." I wasn't his wife; I was a placeholder, a temporary fix he used until the woman he actually loved was ready to take my place. Jackson didn't just want a divorce; he wanted to erase me. He called me a "proprietary asset," claiming that every design I had created to save his empire belonged to him. He froze my bank accounts, cut off my phone, and told me I’d be nothing without his name. Davida even called me from her hospital bed to flaunt the family heirloom ring Jackson claimed was lost, mocking me for being "baggage" that was finally being cleared out. I stood in our empty home, realizing I had spent five years being a martyr for a man who saw me as a transaction. I couldn't understand how he could be so blind to the monster he was protecting, or how he could discard me so coldly after I had given him everything. I grabbed my hidden sketchbook, shredded our wedding portrait, and walked out into the rain. I dialed a number I hadn't touched in years—a dangerous man known as The Surgeon who dealt in debts and shadows. I told him I was ready to pay his price. Jackson and Davida wanted to steal my identity, but I was about to show the world the literal scars they had left behind.
