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 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."

"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?
