Chapter 1 PROLOGUE

❦❦❦

"Runo, have you finished packing your things?" I heard the voice of one of the nuns working in this orphanage outside of my bedroom, so I quickly opened the door and smiled at her.

"Yes, sister," I replied as I pulled my luggage out of the room I had used for nineteen years. I bid my goodbyes to everyone from the orphanage and rode a bus that passed by a terminal, where I'll be riding a cab to my new workplace.

I, Runo Kaelynn Alberona, have been an orphan since I was born. I haven't met any of my parents or siblings; all I have as parents are the nuns and priests caring for the other children, who became my siblings and me since we arrived in this orphanage.

And today is the day I must leave this place since I have already reached the age of nineteen and the legal age to work. I am no longer allowed to stay here. However, I only finished high school and didn't plan to attend college anymore due to financial problems. Hence, the Head-Nun sent me to work as a maid in a prestigious and wealthy family, the Lockhart family. I'll be staying there while working under the supervision of the four Lockhart siblings.

I have made up my mind. While working in that family, I have to earn enough money to start a business. Then, I will have a stable source of income for myself and enough budget to search for my biological parents, who left me in that orphanage nineteen years ago.

Starting now, I no longer have anyone to rely on except myself.

As I reminded myself of that reality, I took a deep breath and stared at the massive gate before me.

"You can do this, Kaelynn!" I cheered myself and pressed the doorbell, not knowing the secrets and mysteries behind that gate when I first stepped into the Lockhart's territory.

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 woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.
