Chapter 1 Moonlit Encounter

In the village of Silverbrook, nestled amidst the sprawling woods, a sense of enchantment hung in the air as the full moon cast its radiant glow over the quaint homes and cobblestone streets. The villagers took shelter in their houses, sharing tales of werewolves and mythical creatures that prowled the night. Among them lived Ava, a spirited young woman with an insatiable curiosity that led her on adventures of the mind and heart.

As the evening breeze rustled the leaves, Ava found herself drawn to the edge of the forest, captivated by the allure of the full moon. Its ethereal light beckoned her like a silent call, whispering secrets of the night.

With each step she took into the shadows, Ava felt the woods come alive with unseen wonders. Her heart pounded with excitement, though her instincts warned her of the dangers lurking within.

Just as Ava contemplated retreating, a figure emerged from the shadows, his form bathed in the moon's soft glow. Intrigued and apprehensive, Ava's eyes met those of the mysterious stranger, whose gaze seemed to pierce through her soul.

"Who are you?" she asked, her voice steady despite her racing heartbeat.

"I am Gabriel," he replied, his voice carrying an air of mystery. "I am but a traveler seeking shelter for the night."

His presence felt otherworldly, and Ava sensed there was more to his story than he let on. Yet, his vulnerability and the hint of sadness in his eyes stirred a feeling of empathy within her.

"I am Ava," she introduced herself with a smile, unable to quell her inquisitiveness. "You must be cautious wandering the woods on a night like this. The villagers believe it to be dangerous."

Gabriel's lips curved into a faint smile, a hint of gratitude in his expression. "Thank you for your concern, Ava. I'm well aware of the stories, but I find comfort beneath the moon's light."

Their conversation flowed effortlessly, as if they were two souls who had known each other for lifetimes. As the night wore on, Ava learned of Gabriel's travels, of the distant lands he had explored and the mysteries he sought to unravel.

She shared her own stories of wanderlust, her passion for learning, and her dreams of adventure beyond the borders of Silverbrook. In Gabriel's presence, Ava felt a sense of liberation, as if he understood the longing within her heart.

Time seemed to slip away as they conversed beneath the full moon, their words weaving a connection that defied the boundaries of time and space. When the first rays of dawn appeared on the horizon, Ava realized that the night had cast a spell on her, drawing her into a world of enchantment she had never known.

"I must go," Gabriel said, a touch of sadness in his eyes. "Thank you for your kindness, Ava. You have made this night one to remember."

Ava's heart swelled with a mix of emotions as she bid him farewell, unable to shake the feeling that their meeting was no mere coincidence. As the first light of day broke through the forest canopy, she returned to the village, her mind filled with thoughts of the mysterious traveler.

Little did she know that their paths would cross again, and that their encounter beneath the full moon would mark the beginning of an extraordinary journey-one that would unravel secrets, awaken ancient powers, and forge a bond that would defy the darkness that loomed on the horizon.

And so, as the sun rose over Silverbrook, Ava felt a sense of anticipation in her heart, knowing that the night had forever changed her life, leading her on a path she could never have imagined.

I was at my own engagement party at the Sterling estate when the world started tilting. Victoria Sterling, my future mother-in-law, smiled coldly as she watched me struggle with a cup of tea that had been drugged to ruin me. Before I could find my fiancé, Ryan, a waiter dragged me into the forbidden West Wing and locked me in a room with Julian Sterling, the family’s "fallen titan" who had been confined to a wheelchair for years. The door burst open to a frenzy of camera flashes and theatrical screams. Victoria framed me as a seductress caught in the act, and Ryan didn't even try to listen to my pleas, calling me "cheap leftovers" before walking away with his pregnant mistress. When I turned to my own family for help, my father signed a document severing our relationship for a five-million-dollar payout from Julian. They traded me like a commodity without a second thought. I didn't understand why my own parents were so eager to sell me, or how Ryan could look at me with such disgust after promising me forever. I was a sacrifice, a pawn used to protect the family's offshore accounts, and I couldn't fathom how every person I loved had a price tag for my destruction. With nowhere left to go, I married Julian in a bleak ceremony at City Hall. He slid a heavy diamond onto my finger and whispered, "We have a war to start." That night, inside his secret penthouse, I watched the paralyzed man stand up from his wheelchair and activate a screen filled with the Sterling family's darkest secrets. The execution had officially begun.

I was four months pregnant, weighing over two hundred pounds, and my heart was failing from experimental treatments forced on me as a child. My doctor looked at me with clinical detachment and told me I was in a death sentence: if I kept the baby, I would die, and if I tried to remove it, I would die. Desperate for a lifeline, I called my father, Francis Acosta, to tell him I was sick and pregnant. I expected a father's love, but all I got was a cold, sharp blade of a voice. "Then do it quietly," he said. "Don't embarrass Candi. Her debutante ball is coming up." He didn't just reject me; he erased me. My trust fund was frozen, and I was told I was no longer an Acosta. My fiancé, Auston, had already discarded me, calling me a "bloated whale" while he looked for a thinner, wealthier replacement. I left New York on a Greyhound bus, weeping into a bag of chips, a broken woman the world considered a mistake. I couldn't understand how my own father could tell me to die "quietly" just to save face for a party. I didn't know why I had been a lab rat for my family’s pharmaceutical ambitions, or how they could sleep at night while I was left to rot in the gray drizzle of the city. Five years later, the doors of JFK International Airport slid open. I stepped onto the marble floor in red-soled stilettos, my body lean, lethal, and carved from years of blood and sweat. I wasn't the "whale" anymore; I was a ghost coming back to haunt them. With my daughter by my side and a medical reputation that terrified the global elite, I was ready to dismantle the Acosta empire piece by piece. "Tell Francis to wash his neck," I whispered to the skyline. "I'm home."

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.
