Unhinged Chapter 1 Sweet memories

It's been three months already, all she could think about was seeing him or at least hearing from him. She last heard from him last month and she has been calling, it's always someone picking up and telling her he's not around at the moment, not until she couldn't reach him again.

She became worried,not until his parents told her they had spoken with him the previous week. She was so happy, he's alright At least.

But she became worried again, when she asked the reasons for his unavailability to answer her calls. She was told they were at war, with a certain deadly group that has been contributing to national insecurities. However, they assured her, he was alright and would call her when he is available to talk with her.

Her intuition told her to ask,why wouldn't he call her directly but she decided to let it slide and hope that he's gonna call as they promised.

Still, she couldn't wave away the sense of skepticism she felt. But she pushed away at the back of her mind and relaxed a bit . However, She decided not tell them yet about her pregnancy, at least not until she told her parents first.

She slouched on the couch after the call ended and touched her belly which hasn't shown any sign of pregnancy yet . She rubbed it in a circular motion and reminisced on how she met Kelvin.

She had worked as a secretary in an Academic lesson center. She was just another human being who feels she's just existing. Nothing is going on for her, she felt she was just living, working and trying to fit in into what every other normal human being was doing.

Until Kelvin she thought life was very boring and uninteresting ,though it seems the words only existed in her side of the world . She had only a friend, who is so different from her ,crazy is the word to describe her friend, she thinks. But even at that her friend with all her craziness hasn't managed to change her perspective about life

For her, she was just passing through life not really paying attention but for her friend everything was fun . She sometimes wishes she could live a little more like her friend. But being the only child and raised by a single mom who struggled to provide for her was not fun .

She woke up this particular morning not feeling any different than any other days. She struggled out of the bed, brushed her teeth, took her bath and decided to wear a dress with a yellow flower motif . The day was already looking gloomy to her and she did not want to look gloomy as the day was. While she was styling her hair ,she heard her mom calling her to the kitchen for breakfast.

"Mom,I'll be there in two minutes ",she said as she tried to apply mascara on her eyelashes. She ended up smudging it .

"Good lord", she said, shaking her head . When she thought everything was not looking so fine,this happened, making it bad. Would it get any better,she asked herself. She went over to the sink to wash her face and decided, makeup was not for her today.

"Rose honey, your food is getting cold", she heard her mom say . She patted her face dry and carried her bag and left her room down to the kitchen.

"Good morning mom, she said as she took her breakfast to the table and sat to eat. Looking at her time,she saw she had 40 minutes left to get to work. She rushed her breakfast , kissed her mom goodbye and left hurriedly.

She got to work quite early and had time to arrange her working space . She sat down to resume work and prayed the day didn't get worse.

Soon, the manager came in looking all grumpy and irritated. He started cussing at everyone, she prayed he wouldn't remember her. She hid well in her corner not talking, just observing. Seems, everything and everyone was bent frustrating her today, she thought when the manager turned towards her direction and said something about her looks and her not always dressing professional enough.

Immediately, the manager went inside his office,slamming the door to his office behind him. She sighed in frustration and sat down on her chair and shut everyone out.

"Don't put it into heart, sweetheart", Mrs Kate said.

" He's just in one of his moods",she whispered. "Don't let his words bother you at all darling", she chipped in.

Rose Smiled appreciatively. Mrs Kate was one of the few people that paid her attention at work .

Shortly after everyone settled down, he walked in , tall, handsome and unbelievably attractive. Exuding an energy that can't be ignored with masculine scent that made every head turn. He was wearing an army uniform. He was huge and 7ft tall. Rose stood up to welcome him.

"Good day Sir, how may I help you sir", she said to him.

"Hey beautiful, I'm here to see Mr Conwell. Is he in ? , he said with a voice rich in masculinity yet has a soft edge to it .

Rose was taken aback by his compliment. No one has ever spared her a second glance let alone complimenting her .

"Yes he is in, do you have an appointment with him?" ,she asked him while trying hard to hide the fact that she is blushing .

"No.i don't, but pls tell him his nephew is here to see him", he said.

"Okay sir", Rose said as she talked to Mr Conwell on the phone on his nephew's arrival.

"sir, he will receive you now ", she said

"Okay,thank you ", he said as he went into Mr Conwell's office.

Rose was told to bring in some coffee few minutes later. And when she came in to drop the coffee, she caught him studying her which made her a bit clumsy. And when he wasn't staring at her, she stole glances at him And when he was done serving the coffee she went back to her desk feeling all giddy, a feeling she doesn't understand.

"Hi again, I'm Kelvin", he said extending a hand.

"I'm Rose, sir ", she said putting her hand in his to reciprocate his greetings and all the while avoiding his eyes for a reason she doesn't really know.

"Nice to meet you Rose", he said with a smile and as Rose smiled back her uneasiness melted away.

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.

Hayley was betrayed by those who should have loved her most. To save their precious adopted daughter from a punishment she deserved, her own parents sent Hayley straight into a living hell—an infamous prison where survival demanded cruelty, and weakness meant death. Four years later, the girl who had entered those iron gates no longer existed. She emerged with a single, unbreakable rule carved into her soul: Every betrayal would be repaid tenfold. The day she walked free, the world trembled. A convoy of luxury cars lined the road. A legion of loyal followers awaited her triumphant return. Her father tried to buy her silence with money. But money had long lost its power over her. Her adopted sister hid behind sweet words and false kindness. But empty smiles no longer fooled her. Everything that had once been stolen would be reclaimed—piece by piece. When her parents attempted to tie themselves to the city's most feared man by offering their adopted daughter, Hayley's lips curved into a cold smirk. "Not on my watch." Backed by a legendary hacker, shadowy allies, and an entire prison willing to burn the world for her, Hayley dismantled her enemies with terrifying precision. Then the tyrant noticed her. "You're interesting," he said. "Be my woman, and the city is yours." Hayley raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. "You want to own me? Survive me first." High society became their battlefield. Power collided with desire. Ambition clashed with obsession. In this ruthless game of dominance and temptation, only one would kneel first. The girl once abandoned in hell rose from its ashes, crowned by fire and vengeance—And in the end, even the most feared ruler in the city would bow, offering his empire to the woman who had conquered both hell… and him.

The rain in Detroit was slick with grime when my family finally came to fetch me. They didn't want a reunion; they wanted a sacrificial lamb to marry into the Kaufman empire to save their failing business. I thought I was just being sold off, but the limo ride ended under a dark overpass where six hired thugs were waiting with chains. My own sister had ordered them to "break my spirit" so I’d be a shaking, pathetic mess by the time I reached the altar. They called me "Detroit trash" and sprayed air freshener when I sat on their leather seats. My stepmother wanted a video of me begging for my life, and my father was ready to trade me like a used car to a man everyone called a "vegetable." They expected a submissive country girl, unaware that I was a high-level "cleaner" who could snap a radius bone before they could even scream. When I finally reached the Kaufman estate, I found my fiancé, Barron, slumped in a wheelchair, drooling and silent. But as soon as the doors closed, the "invalid" grabbed my wrist with a grip of iron and whispered a command that changed everything. I didn't understand why my own blood was so desperate to see me destroyed. What had I ever done to deserve a hit squad and a forced marriage to a man they thought was a corpse? But Barron isn't a vegetable, and I'm not a victim. We just touched down at the Moon family gala in a matte-black helicopter, and as the doors slide open, the "broken" bride is about to show them exactly what happens when you throw away the wrong daughter. "If we're going to crash a party," Barron whispered, his eyes burning with lethal clarity, "we should make an entrance."

I sat on the edge of the examination table, the crinkle of the sanitary paper sounding like thunder in the sterile room. The doctor didn't even look at me as he confirmed the news: the pregnancy was over. My husband, Keyon, didn't answer my call. He just sent an automated text: "In a meeting." When I returned to our cold mansion, I found his iPad glowing with a message from his "muse," Katina. He was throwing her a secret gala tonight-on our third wedding anniversary. He told her he couldn't wait to escape the "boring" and "draining" atmosphere I created at home. Keyon didn't stumble in until 3 AM, smelling of Katina's perfume with a smear of red on his collar. When I handed him the divorce papers, he laughed in my face. He called me a "glorified housekeeper" with no skills and no future, promising I'd be back in three days begging for a subway ticket. He even bet his friends ten thousand dollars that I wouldn't survive a week without his name. He had his assistant cancel my credit cards and block my gate access before I even reached the end of the driveway. He wanted me to starve. He wanted me to crawl. He sat in his office, mocking the "desperate" woman who pawned her three-million-dollar wedding ring for scrap metal just to pay for a meal. I stood on the rainy curb, watching the man I had protected for three years treat my life like trash. He didn't know about the ultrasound I just threw in the bin. He didn't know that while he was calling me "dull," I was the one secretly writing the code that kept his billion-dollar empire from collapsing. As I slid into a cheap Uber, I opened a hidden, encrypted app on my phone. The screen refreshed to a dashboard for an account Keyon didn't know existed. The balance was ten figures long-the accumulated wealth of "Solaris," the world's most elusive tech genius. Keyon thinks he just evicted a parasite, but he's about to find out he just declared war on the only person who can hit "delete" on his entire life.
