Chapter 1 1

Briana was walking without any kind of fixed route.

<>?

All hopes: had dwindled to that day, into nothingness itself. She had lost the person she loved the most.

Not because she had decided so; quite the contrary: she had been jilted at the altar.

That gray"eyed girl continued walking, ignoring the pain she felt when she stepped on the stones of the road, thus cushioning the pain she had in her heart.

She did not care about the curious glances of the vehicles that passed by her, nothing interested her at that moment. Step by step, she felt like a lifeless shell; with a white dress accompanying the purity she now did not have.

Something made her slow down, there was a small wooden house a few meters away.

<>?

There were some flowers planted there that she recorded when she was a little girl, and that made her go to that place.

She walked, like a lost firefly towards the light.

She did not look back, she had no one to cry for her, no one to miss her: therefore she did not care if a cruel destiny awaited her in that place.

After several minutes, she was already in front of those flowers and caressed them with her fingertips. She closed her eyes remembering when her little hand did it.

Suddenly, she was curious about the interior of that house, she peeked inside a little cautiously.

Curious though.

The interior was quite well lit, the large windows apparently helped to keep with own light.

Briana without a second's hesitation had already knocked on the door, when an extremely attractive boy appeared in her vision. She wanted to say something, but all the way she had tried to say a word however none came out of her mouth.

"..."

"Are you all right?" she asked him.

The young man looked horrified, and a little frightened at the bride who was staring blankly at him. After glancing at her, he could see that she was very pretty. She had large, expressionless gray eyes and blonde, waist"length hair.

She didn't say anything just stood like that, and he looked at her confused and asked again:

"Do you need help?"

Ella negó con la cabeza y se dio la vuelta sin decir nada para irse. Pero ese joven no podía soltar a esa chica que se veía bastante mal, le tomó la mano y al hacerlo: sintió algo que nunca antes había sentido, una corriente eléctrica recorrió su columna vertebral y al parecer esa joven también lo había sentido. , porque ella lo miró con sorpresa.

"Quédate, te ves mal".

Briana volvió los ojos hacia el camino frío y luego volvió la cara para mirar al joven con la sonrisa amable. Él asintió y se dirigió al interior de la casa.

"¿Tienes hambre?", le preguntó.

Aunque lo supiera: no tendría respuesta; esa joven asintió con la cabeza. Se había sentado frente a una mesa grande, que estaba ubicada en el medio de la sala de estar.

Después de unos minutos: tenía un tazón de sopa caliente frente a ella. El joven se sentó a unos metros de ella. Por alguna razón no podía dejar de mirarla, tenía mucha curiosidad de saber por qué estaba en esa condición.

Era como si hubiera adoptado algo de la calle, no quería decirlo así, pero eso era lo que pensaba. Briana después de sentirse un poco observada, levantó sus ojos grises hacia ese extraño chico.

"No quise asustarte, solo me das curiosidad, lo siento".

Briana no pudo decir nada. Al contrario, permaneció en silencio sin decir nada y sin poder decir nada.

El resto del día pasó sin ningún inconveniente para ella.

Mientras observaba con curiosidad la ventana, ese amigable extraño se acercó a su lado y la miró un poco confundido.

The Sterling Scandal: Married To The Uncle

C.D

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.

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."
