Chapter 1 1

Maria Cecilia

I've been studying at Colégio Santa Inês since I was a little girl, my mother who always woke up with everything even though she worked hard, preferred to pay for my studies by fulfilling her dream of being a hairdresser, but when I was little we would never be able to open a business of our own because it wasn't just the course but materials, products, employees and not to mention the clientele since we didn't know many people in the city

It was me, my mother who always supported me in anything and everything I wanted to do, my father who was always a problem in our lives as he has a drinking and gambling problem, my grandmother who always made it very clear that I am the least loved granddaughter in the family

And we also had João Paulo who was my brother who I had the most responsibilities in life, I took care of him a lot so that our mother could work and support us with good studies and all the good and the best that she could give us, but God called him early , I mean, some bastard hit him on the way home from school

I only had a few abrasions, but my brother wasn't so lucky, I tried to pull him to the other side so that at least he wouldn't get hurt, but it was so fast that I couldn't do it in time.

My brother had several fractures all over his body and was in a coma for many months, at first we took him to a public hospital, but the driver who hit him ordered a lawyer to come the next day to look for us and offer all the treatment for my brother.

- Flashback -

- Good afternoon! I'm Dr Carlos Parada and I'm a lawyer for the client who ran over João Miguel Reis, he gave me carte blanche to transfer his son to a private hospital where he will pay all the expenses

Blanca – There is no need, sir, and I sincerely hope that your client is sorry after running over an innocent child because he was drunk.

Dr Carlos Parada – He is! That's why he said that I would only leave here with the transfer of the boy to the best hospital

Blanca – Well then, you'll be stuck there for the rest of your years, have a good time! - she said turning his back.

Maria Cecília – Mom, think about it! We know how public hospitals are, today they have doctors and tomorrow they don't, and not to mention how are we going to pay for medicine?

Blanca – That won't get your brother out of his coma Maria Cecília!

Maria Cecília – That's why mom, let's do this for him!

🎞 End of Flashback 🎞

In the same afternoon my brother had been transferred, I took care of him for long months, my mother and I always took turns while I studied in the morning she took care of him

When I got home from school I would stay until mid-morning and it was like that for 3 long months until the day my brother died and the driver had the courage to go to the funeral saying that my brother's death would not go unnoticed because he would give R$ 100 thousand reais, as if his life was worth only that

My mother and I wanted to reject it, but my mother thought a lot and since my brother would not have his life back at least mother could fulfill her dream of having the profession she always wanted, hairdressing and I could also have my studies guaranteed which was what I most wanted in life and that was how my mother managed to fulfill her dream of having her own business

3 months after my brother's death we all tried to move forward with life as we could, my grandmother of course blamed me for not taking care of my brother properly and that's why the car picked him up even though the whole family was already aware that the driver I was drunk and we were on the sidewalk but I was more than used to all of Grandma's insults

It was easier for Saci to cross her legs or see a codfish head than for Grandma to ever have a kind word with me.

But even though I was used to it, I still suffered, I tried to understand why she always acted that way, but my mother always tried to pass the cloth saying she was the age

6 months after all the suffering my mother was taken by surprise. She became pregnant with Elizabeth, at first it was very difficult because my mother was close to graduating as a hairdresser and my father, as always, spent all the money he saw ahead on games and drink, luckily she used all of my brother's indemnity to set up the salon and pay for the course and the rest she put in a bank for any eventuality

Elizabeth was born healthy and became the youngest baby in the house and I felt that my mission as a protective sister would continue until the day Elizabeth reached the age of majority.

And I would take care of her and play my role as a protective sister like I couldn't do with João Paulo

Blanca – Daughter, aren't you going to school today?

Maria Cecília – I'm going mom, I just came to get this book since it's math class and I'll need to

Blanca – All right, I'll go out with you, today is the day to give Elizabeth the vaccine

Maria Cecília – My little pimpolhinha is always quiet when she takes the vaccine – I said giving her a little kiss on her chubby thigh

I was very excited whenever I went to school, as I would see my prince charming that I've been in love with since I was 7 years old and I'm already 15 years old and since then I've never stopped loving him.

My best friend Mariana always says that I should confess to him, but would Bernardo Marrontinne fall in love with a simple person and the daughter of a hairdresser like me?

"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?

I was finally brought back to the billionaire Vance estate after years in the grimy foster system, but the luxury Lincoln felt more like a funeral procession. My biological family didn't welcome me with open arms; they looked at me like a stain on a silk shirt. They thought I was a "defective" mute with cognitive delays, a spare part to be traded away. Within hours of my arrival, my father decided to sell me to Julian Thorne, a bitter, paralyzed heir, just to secure a corporate merger. My sister Tiffany treated me like trash, whispering for me to "go back to the gutter" before pouring red wine over my dress in front of Manhattan's elite. When a drunk cousin tried to lay hands on me at the engagement gala, my grandmother didn't protect me-she raised her silver-topped cane to strike my face for "embarrassing the family." They called me a sacrificial lamb, laughing as they signed the prenuptial agreement that stripped me of my freedom. They had no idea I was E-11, the underground hacker-artist the world was obsessed with, or that I had already breached their private servers. I found the hidden medical records-blood types A, A, and B-a biological impossibility that proved my "parents" were harboring a scandal that could ruin them. Why bring me back just to discard me again? And why was Julian Thorne, the man supposedly bound to a wheelchair, secretly running miles at dawn on his private estate? Standing in the middle of the ballroom, I didn't plead for mercy. I used a text-to-speech app to broadcast a cold, synthetic threat: "I have the records, Richard. Do you want me to explain genetics to the press, or should we leave quietly?" With the "paralyzed" billionaire as my unexpected accomplice, I walked out of the Vance house and into a much more dangerous game.
