Chapter 1 Shadows of Deceit and Desire

The sun's rays danced through the transparent curtains, illuminating Isabella Reed's face with cozy warmth. Her hazel eyes flickered with resolve as she stretched her thin frame. She was going to start her quest to dominate the fashion world today. Her mind was buzzing with concepts as she got out of bed, ready to bring her inventions to life.

Isabella was born and raised in a quiet village in the English countryside, hidden among rolling hills. Her childhood love of textiles and hues had distinguished her from her friends. She longed to blaze her path in the world of fashion while others preoccupied themselves with traditional objectives. In defiance of her religiously orthodox relatives, she persevered in the pursuit of her goals even though the period she lived in had not yet fully embraced female independence.

Isabella meticulously organized her sketches as the aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled her little studio apartment. Each pattern had a narrative and represented a piece of her soul that was ready to be woven into cloth. She was adamant about developing a brand that embodied her vision since she had unflinching faith in her abilities.

She discovered a modest atelier tucked away in the center of Paris with a meager budget but great enthusiasm. It was a wonderful place with a sense of inventiveness and the past. The space was flooded with natural light from the tall windows and lofty ceilings, which gave the drawings on the walls an ethereal glow. Here, stitch by stitch, Isabella's visions began to materialize.

As Isabella poured her heart and soul into her masterpieces, the days and nights merged into one. Each design was painstakingly created and reflected her distinct viewpoint and creative energy. She was inspired by the city's bustling streets, attractive architecture, and coexisting ethnicities as well as by its many different cultures. Isabella's inventions evolved into a visual representation of herself. It was a wonderful place with a sense of inventiveness and the past. As an outgrowth of herself and a physical representation of her unbreakable spirit, Isabella's crafts came to represent her.

She found herself in Milan, the fashion capital of Europe. The city's vibrant energy filled her with both excitement and trepidation. She sought out every opportunity to showcase her designs, attending fashion shows, networking events, and collaborating with established designers. Despite her undeniable talent, doors seemed to close one after another. Rejections became a part of her daily routine, but Isabella refused to be disheartened. As fate would have it, Isabella crossed paths with a renowned fashion designer named Sophia Marino. Sophia had built an empire from scratch, and her work was celebrated around the world. Intrigued by Isabella's determination and raw talent, Sophia took the young designer under her wing. Isabella became Sophia's apprentice, learning the intricate art of creating haute couture. Under Sophia's guidance, Isabella's skills blossomed. She absorbed every lesson like a sponge, honing her craft and pushing the boundaries of her creativity. Sophia recognized Isabella's potential and encouraged her to trust her instincts, teaching her that success in the fashion industry required both talent and audacity.

One fateful day, as Isabella presented her most recent collection to a select gathering of powerful fashion industry figures, she locked eyes with a tall, mysterious man. She experienced an unexplainable kinship with him as he stared into her soul with piercing blue eyes. He identified himself as renowned fashion photographer, Damien Westwood who has a knack for spotting undiscovered talent. Damien saw Isabella's incredible potential, and her creations gave him a spark he hadn't had in a long time. He became her devoted supporter because he was determined to help her rule the fashion industry. They set out on a quest to introduce her brand to the globe together.

Isabella Reed's heart raced as darkness engulfed the backstage of her highly anticipated fashion show. The sudden power outage had plunged her team into chaos, leaving her dreams hanging in the balance. But Isabella refused to let despair overtake her. She had come too far to let a mere blackout shatter her determination.

With a flickering flashlight in hand, Isabella maneuvered through the labyrinthine corridors, her voice calling out to her scattered team. Panic and urgency mingled in the air, magnified by the stifling darkness. She couldn't afford to lose control. Not now.

As she approached a storage room, her flashlight flickered, illuminating a small crack in the wall. Curiosity and hope surged within her, urging her to investigate. Peering through the crack, Isabella witnessed a clandestine meeting-an alliance of deception that extended far beyond stolen designs.

Richard Mallory, a prominent figure in the fashion industry, stood at the center, surrounded by shadowy accomplices. Their hushed whispers carried a sinister edge, chilling Isabella to the core.

"I thought we silenced her," Richard's voice dripped with annoyance and frustration. "But she's more resilient than we anticipated."

Isabella's grip on the flashlight tightened as she strained to catch every word, her mind racing to comprehend the magnitude of the conspiracy. The stolen designs were just the tip of the iceberg. Darker secrets loomed, threatening the integrity of the entire industry she loved.

She withdrew from the crack, her mind ablaze with questions. Who were these figures, and what lengths were they willing to go to protect their secrets? Isabella knew she had stumbled upon a web of corruption that extended far beyond her dreams. She had to expose the truth, even if it meant putting everything on the line.

As she turned to leave the storeroom, a chill ran down her spine. The sound of approaching footsteps echoed through the darkness, growing closer by the second. Isabella's breath caught in her throat as she sought an escape route, her mind racing against time.

Just as despair threatened to seep into Isabella's bones, a commotion erupted from outside the room. Shouts and the sound of scuffling footsteps grew louder, shattering the tension in the air. A moment of hope sparked within her as she realized that help had arrived.

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.

THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: MARRY TO RIVAL'S SON

"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?
