The Game Of Faith Chapter 1 Deceptions and Desires

CHAPTER ONE

Please welcome a young visionary whose fast-growing company is taking over Geneva.... Laura Hale!" An elegant reporter announced, And everybody clapped with a hand of a plus.

A young beautiful business lady smiles at the camera. "Thank you, Lilith, you are making me blush" Laura smiled at her wonderfully.

" Ah, flattering the Hale's heiress. I can't think of a better way to spend this Friday night" Lilith teased.

" You truly are something Lilith" Laura was amazed.

" So, tell us, Laura. Are the rumors true?" Lilith was back to business.

"The rumors?, Which rumors are you talking about?" Laura was confused.

"The tabloids say you have a mysterious secret about the Hale family. Do you mind telling us whether you are the true heiress of the Hales Enterprise or not?" Lilith was curious.

"Oh Lilith, I will never take you for a gossipy type!" Laura brushed it off.

"We all just want to know, Laura. Tell us about your secrets, did the Hale family adopt you?" Lilith insists.

"Well, there's actually no secrets at all, not the one I know of....?" Laura was plain.

Meanwhile, bag stage....

"what is she talking about?!, This is a big disaster. That means Miss Laura hasn't heard about all the rumors that have been spreading around, oh God this is bad" Josephine cursed out loud.

"I don't think we are in the right position to tell the boss that her sister Meredith is dragging her name to the mud, it might only cause more harm than good." Daniel was worried too.

"I know, I know. You're right" Josephine agreed with Daniel. " but this is really bad news for her. Upon all the hard work to keep this Enterprise growing, they just want to frustrate her just like that" Josephine was disturbed.

"Yeah, these will really break her down when it comes to her notice. She will be so worried to know she isn't likable enough by the family she thinks she has" It was Daniel who cursed.

"Why would anyone on Earth not like a wonderful and hard-working lady like Miss Laura, who on their right mind would even choose Meredith over her?" Josephine cried out.

"Josephine, forget the rumors that she's not a legitimate child, that is not the point because it doesn't count. She can still be the CEO of this Enterprise even if that was the case... I'm curious, there must be something else to it!" Daniel said.

For some time, Laura escaped the interview she had. walking towards her office

"Josephine, do I actually have a free evening? No meetings or interviews ?" Laura asked packing some files on her table.

"Well ma'am, Mr. George calls you all day... and you also have a meeting with the producer" Josephine quickly replied, still standing in front of her boss lady.

"Is this the same George from last time!?" Laura asked still concentrating on a file.

" It's the famous heir of the Beit Enterprise. It's not hard to guess why his calling. Why don't you answer?" Josephine suggested.

"Yeah, put it on speaker phone!?" without wasting time, Josephine did just as Laura instructed and the phone was placed on the table beside Laura.

"Laura?" the person from the other end.

'What a pleasant baritone....' Laura cursed inwardly.

"Hi, George?" Laura called out.

"Laura, I would like to invite you for dinner at eight tonight at Ta's restaurant. Are you free?" George asked.

Laura was absolutely available, but she couldn't just say yes. "What's the purpose, hope you are not just asking me out for dinner, are you?"

"I'd be happy to just have a friendly dinner with you. But you are unlikely to agree. So I prepared a surprise for a business deal in my Enterprise...so can I hope to see you" George sounded like a businessman.

Laura always loved business dealings, anything that could help her company to keep growing bigger was her interest. She was the heiress to the Hale Enterprise. With her business comes first before pleasure.

Since she took this position, The Hale Enterprise has become one of the largest companies in Geneva. "this is getting interesting. Just a second, I'll check my schedule" Laura told George with a smile plastered on her face. And after some time she told him "Hmm...Your luck has a window for the evening. I'll come"

"Thank you! I will be waiting" George said his goodbye.

"So how did it go, ma'am? Putting it on the schedule?" Josephine asked with her bright smile. "Yes, I'm busy tonight" Laura quickly answered but left the office.

Meanwhile at the shop.

Meredith, Laura's younger sister was busy shopping for new dresses for herself."Let us see what we got...." Meredith picked up a dress and brought it closer to her body looking at the fitness in it.

"Oh sweet! This dress makes me feel so confident and sexy more than ever, this is definitely what I was looking for!" she complimented the dress.

When she was done shopping, she left the store and was looking for her best friend Carolyn. After a few searches, she finally found her at the cafeteria. Carolyn was also the daughter of a big businessman."Here you are!" Meredith finally calmed down.

"Well, well... let's see what you have managed to come up with tonight," Carolyn said and Meredith immediately showed the hot dress to her. "Wow, this really looks beautiful" she appreciates.

"So?, Thought?" Meredith smile.

"Hm... thought?! What do I have to say? Oh poor Laura" they both laugh out loud.

"I'm also curious, I can't imagine the shock on her face when she found out about the relationship between me and Jackson her fiancé." Meredith smiles jaw to jaw.

"Wow Meredith, this dress looks good, I think you should try it," Carolyn said giving her back the dress.

"Yes I will, I'm planning to visit Jackson today, so this will be my option," Meredith said.

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran’s "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father’s multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city’s most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins—the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street—and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.
