Chapter 1 The Inheritance

Margaret stood outside the old mansion, feeling a mix of excitement and trepidation. She had received a letter from a lawyer informing her that she had inherited the property from a distant relative she had never even heard of. Margaret had always been curious about the mansion, as it had a reputation for being haunted and was the subject of many local legends. Now, she was the owner of the place.

As she approached the front door, Margaret couldn't help but feel a shiver run down her spine. The mansion was old and imposing, with ivy snaking up the walls and a front door that looked like it hadn't been opened in years. Margaret hesitated for a moment before taking a deep breath and pushing the door open.

The inside of the mansion was just as eerie as the outside. Thick dust covered every surface, and cobwebs hung from the ceilings. Margaret made her way through the dusty, dimly lit hallway, feeling like she was walking through a time capsule. The furniture was old and ornate, and Margaret couldn't help but wonder how long it had been since anyone had lived in the mansion.

As she explored the house, Margaret began to notice strange things. Doors that she had opened would be closed when she turned around, and she could hear strange noises coming from the walls. She tried to brush it off as her imagination, but the feeling of being watched never left her.

Margaret eventually made her way to the library, which was filled with rows upon rows of old books. As she browsed through the shelves, Margaret noticed a locked cabinet in the corner of the room. Curiosity getting the better of her, she picked the lock and opened the cabinet.

Inside, she found an old journal that belonged to her great-great-grandfather, who had built the mansion. As she read through the journal, Margaret began to uncover a dark secret about her family's past and the mansion itself. It seemed that her ancestor had made a deal with a group of mysterious figures, and in exchange for their help, he had promised to keep a secret hidden in the mansion for all time.

Margaret's heart raced as she realized that she might have stumbled upon the secret that her ancestor had promised to keep hidden. She knew that she had to continue exploring the mansion and uncover the truth about her family's past. But as she made her way deeper into the mansion, Margaret couldn't shake the feeling that she was being watched by something sinister.

The kiss grew more passionate as he felt her warm supple body pressing against his chest. He couldn't believe how soft she was. He was gentler this time, making love to her with a slow, languorous pace, pausing now and then to check the expression on her face. Kira was. transported. She no longer felt the fabric of the sheets underneath her. One moment, she was floating in the air, cuddled by cotton candy clouds. The next, she'd become one with a dinghy, bobbing up and down with the undulating waves. His scent enveloped her. He was on top of her, using his arms to support his weight and avoid crushing her. She snuggled up closer to him, safe and snug, cocooned in his warmth. Kira had always marvelled at Austyn's stamina, but he outdid himself tonight. In the midst of overwhelming rapture, Kira still had the presence of mind to broach the subject she'd been meaning to bring up. 'My dad's medical bills.' Austyn paused. He frowned as he looked into those beseeching eyes. 'It'll be taken care of by the end of business day tomorrow,' he said with a bit of an edge in his voice. Kira breathed out. ****** She is a 21-year-old college student who dreams of becoming a journalist. He is the heir of the McCarthy family and president of a business empire. She is bright-eyed and vivacious, a glass-half-full kind of gal. When life throws her a curveball, she knocks it out of the park. He is the archetypal alpha male, aggressive and domineering. Endowed with both brains and brawn, he steamrolls over his enemies and rules his company with an iron fist. The two would never have crossed paths if not for a cruel twist of fate. Kira's world was turned upside down when her father was hospitalised after a car accident. The medical bills were astronomical. Austyn McCarthy offered her a way out. The price: becoming his contract wife. At night, he consummated their marriage but called out another woman's name. Who was she? Why did Austyn marry Kira if he was in love with someone else? Kira was his lawful wife, but she had no right to ask these questions. Then one day, the woman showed up in front of her.
