They were destined. He didn't believe about that, she knew that one day they would find each other and spend the rest of their lives together. It didn't matter if it would take time. Gods had decided for them years ago and they could not fight against it.

Chapter 1 Introduction.

"Mateo, Mateo! Look here!"

At that request, the young champion turns toward the paparazzi and smiles, holding tightly the hand of her companion who does not hesitate to show the big engagement ring given to her by the boy: getting visibility, even more. The girl's smile grows wider when she realizes that the photographers' attention is all on her-she is the star of the moment, not Mateo!

"When is the date? " asked one, "Congratulations, guys!" said another. Being very reserved Mateo did not answer and waved that he should enter the club, but that was Nadia's chance and she did not waste a single second and held back the footballer to answer the reporters' questions:"Quickly, very soon! Rob and I are very happy and there will be nothing or no one that can separate us, right mi amor?"

the young soccer player stiffens but tries not to give it away; he hates that nickname and that "Mi amor" reminds him of another person. A person who has always been on his mind and in his heart, but is slipping away from him at that moment.

"Mi amor, never leave me." A promise he had made but apparently had not kept.

From a distance Rafael signals to him that he must join him and his family, waking the 30-year-old from his own thoughts.

No, this is no time to be sad.

He holds his companion's hand tightly and walks toward his brother, ready to receive that award that would place him alongside soccer's greats forever. Because all the sacrifices made by his parents, his unnatural passion for football led to all this.

The fame, the glory, the happiness: it is all deserved.

But it wasn't always so easy, and as he steps onto that stage a trail of memories runs through his mind, making him travel into the past.

And that same journey is the one we will take as well.

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.

I sat in the gray, airless room of the New York State Department of Corrections, my knuckles white as the Warden delivered the news. "Parole denied." My father, Howard Sterling, had forged new evidence of financial crimes to keep me behind bars. He walked into the room, smelling of expensive cologne, and tossed a black folder onto the steel table. It was a marriage contract for Lucas Kensington, a billionaire currently lying in a vegetative state in the ICU. "Sign it. You walk out today." I laughed at the idea of being sold to a "corpse" until Howard slid a grainy photo toward me. It showed a toddler with a crescent-moon birthmark—the son Howard told me had died in an incubator five years ago. He smiled and told me the boy's safety depended entirely on my cooperation. I was thrust into the Kensington estate, where the family treated me like a "drowned rat." They dressed me in mothball-scented rags and mocked my status, unaware that I was monitoring their every move. I watched the cousin, Julian, openly waiting for Lucas to die to inherit the empire, while the doctors prepared to sign the death certificate. I didn't understand why my father would lie about my son’s death for years, or what kind of monsters would use a child as a bargaining chip. The injustice of it burned in my chest as I realized I was just a pawn in a game of old money and blood. As the monitors began to flatline and the family started to celebrate their inheritance, I locked the door and reached into the hem of my dress. I pulled out the sharpened silver wires I’d fashioned in the prison workshop. They thought they bought a submissive convict, but they actually invited "The Saint"—the world’s most dangerous underground surgeon—into their home. "Wake up, Lucas. You owe me a life." I wasn't there to be a bride; I was there to wake the dead and burn their empire to the ground.
