LOST TILL FOUND Chapter 1 BROKEN 💔

I was so tired after a long day in school just for me to walk home and find Martha and Francis screaming at each other, my parents are just the worst, I look past them without even offering a hello and go straight to my room upstairs. I plan on taking a brief nap before going down for some food but I end up sleeping till dinner, while half asleep I hear mom walking into my room ,I know it's her because of that ridiculous slippers she likes wearing indoors that makes so much noise than she realizes .

She sits by my bed and taps me gently on the shoulder when I don't stir she takes a deep breath and then taps me again, this time I gently sit up and ask her whats wrong,she says it to me directly no beating around the bush."your dad and I are getting a divorce, as you know things haven't been great between us and I don't want you guys growing up and thinking this is how things are between couples so it's better we get a divorce ". I look at her wanting to ask who brought up the Idea but I already know who,so I just smile and tell her it's okay that we'll be fine ,she says thank you sweetheart and walks out.

When she's gone I sit down on my bed and laugh for about 30seconds ,then I stop, wondering why I was laughing in the first place

I look out my window and stare into the night then I hear something calling my name vera it was so faint I thought I imagined it but it called again ,I was about to ask who's there but before I could mom called me from down stairs "sweetheart come down for dinner and bring pete along" .I quickly jump down from my bed ignoring my imagination and going to find my cute little brother who I hadn't seen the whole day.I walk into his room ,pete mom said it's time for dinner where are you ,I don't see him in the bathroom or under the bed I start to panic but thats when I hear his little sobs in the closet ,I open it and join him in silence, I ask whats wrong and he says "I don't want mom and dad to split up" I tell him it's okay that we'll be fine ,he hugs me and I just can't help but cry.

We go down for dinner and mum and dad are already at table dad's already eating while mom is waiting for us ,when we sit down she says why did we take so long ,I say nothing and pete keeps quiet to,I could tell she knew by the look on her face that we'd been crying, so she said we should say grace and I did then we ate in complete silence. After dinner I went to my room after making sure pete got ready for bed and was tucked in ,he tells me he's a big boy but to me 6yrs is still a baby.I go through my routine before bed then I go on my knees to pray as mom taught me,she says prayer makes everything easier "Talk to God "she said so here i am talking to him. I go through the normal procedures i was taught thanks,mercy,then I pray for what I want.Talking to God in prayer always gave me peace but now I don't feel it anymore, I feel restless. I lie down after my little prayer and I close my eyes.

I hear my alarm blaring telling me it's time to wake up ,it's so annoying it makes me wonder why I even set it up in the first place, I wake up lazily and decide today's going to be my happy day,I'm going to pretend my life is perfect. I take a shower put on the nicest dress I have for school, put a little bit of makeup take my backpack and head downstairs for breakfast ,I don't need to worry about pete because mom handles him in the mornings. I greet everyone with a bright smile, mom looks happy when she sees me while dad looks shocked I'm smiling at him and he doesn't know how to respond .So I give pete a kiss on his cheek pick up an apple and leave mom says I should atleast have one pancake I say I'm good, I blow her a kiss and leave.

At school I meet Cindy, she's my BFF since kindergarten and I just love her she's the total opposite of my moody self and she's so pretty i wonder how we even became friends don't get me wrong I'm not ugly I'm just not as bubbly and confident as she is.Hey I say when she meets me and pulls me into a tight hug we walk hand in hand to class,it's our last year of high school so she wants us to do everything together because we're both applying to different colleges. We take our seats and the teacher goes on and on about something but I don't hear anything because I'm staring out the window at lost in thoughts, when I hear the voice say my name vera ,I listen carefully trying to find out if the voice is familiar, but I jolt suddenly when the teacher yells "vera damore can you tell us what's so intriguing out side "and the whole class starts laughing and thats when I realize this window faces the basketball court and some students are having try outs ,Cindy looks at me with amusement in her eyes and I just know I would never hear the end of it.During lunch time ,I tell Cindy I'll be back and go to the restroom, when I'm done ,I look at the mirror and I see someone behind me I turn and he's gone I look at the mirror again and he's there smiling at me ,I do what anyone would do I scream and i run.

My five-year-old daughter was dying in the ICU, her heartbeat replaced by the continuous, electronic scream of a flatline. I gripped her cold hand, my throat sealed shut by a terror so absolute I couldn't even cry out. I dialed my husband Grayson's private number, the one reserved only for me and his assistants. He declined the call instantly. A second later, a text buzzed against my palm: "In a meeting. Do not disturb. Stop calling." Five miles away, Grayson was at a luxury gala, adjusting his silk tie and laughing with Belle Escobar. He told her I was just being "dramatic" and using our daughter's "fever" as an excuse to avoid the event. He had no idea Effie's heart had already stopped. When I finally reached our penthouse, soaked from the rain and carrying Effie's small socks in a plastic bag, Grayson didn't even look at me. He snapped at me for ruining the hardwood floors and asked if I'd left Effie with the nanny just to "feel sorry for myself." Three days later, while I buried our daughter in a small, lonely ceremony, Grayson was at the Hamptons. Belle posted a photo of him golfing with the caption: "A mental health day with the boys." He didn't even attend the funeral, but he returned home demanding I clear out Effie's room to make a study for Belle's son. The injustice burned through me until there was nothing left. I swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, desperate to join my daughter. But instead of the darkness, I woke up to blinding lights and the scent of Grayson's expensive cologne. I was standing in a ballroom, wearing a blue silk dress I had already burned. Above me, a banner read: "Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden & Effie." I was back, exactly one year before the tragedy. This time, I wasn't going to be the grieving wife. I was going to be their worst nightmare.

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."

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."

I arrived at the hotel with Julian's favorite takeout, ready to surprise my fiancé before our big merger. But the moment I swiped the keycard, the silence of the hallway felt heavy and wrong. Inside, a red-soled stiletto lay on the marble floor-the same one I'd watched my best friend Lila try on at Saks last week. Through the cracked bedroom door, I watched Julian's back arch as Lila looked me straight in the eye and smiled, wrapping her legs tighter around him to mock my heartbreak. I fled to the penthouse to hide, only to find Grafton, Julian's "crippled" brother, waiting in the dark. To my horror, the man who was supposed to be paralyzed stood up from his wheelchair, gripped my chin with cold fingers, and forced me to sign a contract that gave him control of my family's shares. He knew about my mother's secret medical bills and used them to buy my silence, effectively turning my life into a calculated game of corporate chess. The betrayal tasted like acid, and the injustice of it all burned in my throat. My fiancé was a liar, my best friend was a thief, and the man now controlling my fate was a predator who had been faking his disability for years. I couldn't understand how everyone I trusted had turned out to be a monster. I was trapped between a man who cheated on me and a man who wanted to own me, with no way out and no one to turn to. But when Julian came looking for me, Grafton didn't hide; he stood tall, looming over me with a possessive glint in his eyes. "Help me destroy Julian," I rasped, realizing that to survive the Faulkner men, I had to become the most dangerous player of them all.
