Chapter 1 Prologue

Once upon a time, in the hushed embrace of a moonlit night, a forbidden love unfolded, its essence entwined within the realms of gods and mortals. In the deepest shadows, where whispers of desire danced upon the air, the goddess Navana, a radiant embodiment of love and beauty, found solace in the arms of a mortal man named Theron.

Their clandestine union kindled a flame that burned with an intensity beyond mortal comprehension. Amidst stolen moments, hidden from the prying gaze of the divine, Navana and Theron surrendered to the depths of their love, weaving a tale of passion and longing. It was during one such clandestine encounter that the fruit of their devotion was conceived-a baby girl, born of a love so pure it defied the boundaries of their separate worlds.

As the celestial glow bathed the land, Navana cradled the newborn in her arms, her tender touch infused with a divine warmth that spoke of eternal affection. Yet, even as joy enveloped her heart, Navana was haunted by the perils that awaited her beloved daughter. In the realms where gods and mortals clashed, the consequences of their forbidden love could be dire.

In the depths of her divine wisdom, Navana made a choice that echoed with both love and sorrow. She would not subject her daughter to the wrath of jealous deities or the dangers lurking within the mortal realm. She resolved to keep her child safe, even if it meant surrendering the tender bond between mother and daughter.

Guided by her unwavering love, Navana sought counsel from the ancient Oracle, a venerable seer whose wisdom spanned the ages. Deep within the sacred grove, where whispers of prophecy echoed through the ancient trees, Navana stood before the Oracle, her heart heavy with a mixture of hope and apprehension.

The Oracle, her eyes gleaming with ancient knowledge, sensed the divine presence that emanated from Navana. With a voice that carried the weight of the cosmos, she foretold the child's destiny-a path woven with both danger and greatness. The Oracle revealed that the child possessed a unique power, a spark of divinity that demanded protection.

Listening to the Oracle's words, Navana's resolve solidified. She knew what she must do to safeguard her daughter.

Guided by her unwavering love, Navana entrusted Theron with a sacred task. Knowing the dangers that awaited her, she sent him on a journey to the kingdom of Nortdoc, a realm cloaked in mystery and shrouded by a forbidden forest. There, amidst the stormy night when darkness held sway, Theron would seek out Gryvra, a midwife wrongfully cast out from the walls of the kingdom, accused of witchcraft after losing her husband to a strange illness and enduring childlessness during their six years of marriage.

With a heavy heart and a resolve fueled by love, Theron ventured into the treacherous depths of the forbidden forest. Rain cascaded from the heavens, creating a symphony of whispers and rustling leaves. Thunder crashed and lightning danced across the sky, illuminating the path ahead, as if the elements themselves bore witness to this momentous undertaking.

Navigating through winding trails and ancient trees, Theron's footsteps were muffled by the chorus of raindrops. In his arms, he cradled the precious bundle, wrapped snugly in a blanket, a symbol of his unwavering devotion to Navana and their daughter, whom they named Iana.

At long last, Theron reached the heart of the forbidden forest, where the air crackled with an otherworldly energy. He approached a humble cottage standing solitary amidst the dense foliage, its humble existence hidden from prying eyes.

With utmost care, Theron placed the wicker basket, carrying Iana, upon the cottage's weathered doorstep. He lingered in the shadows, watching as Gryvra emerged from within, drawn by the unusual occurrence on this stormy night. Her eyes widened with a mix of surprise and curiosity as she discovered the infant nestled within the basket, a beacon of innocent beauty amidst the tempest.

Gryvra's heart swelled with compassion as she scooped the child into her arms, shielding her from the biting cold. In that moment, she felt a connection-an inexplicable bond that transcended the ordinary. Gryvra recognized the weight of responsibility thrust upon her, but she also sensed the divine presence that surrounded the child.

Theron, unseen in the shadows, watched the scene unfold before him, a mixture of joy and sorrow swirling within his heart. He had fulfilled his duty as a father, ensuring the safety of their beloved daughter. Yet, he also knew that he must now fade into the night, leaving Iana in Gryvra's capable hands.

As the storm raged on, Theron whispered his final blessings, his voice carried away by the winds. He disappeared into the veil of darkness, his mission complete. And Gryvra, cradling Iana, stepped back into the warmth of her humble abode, where the flickering light of a hearth awaited them.

"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 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.
