Chapter 1 No.1

It was getting to dawn and Milli Logan was done with her duty at the orphanage. She's the matron of the city orphanage and on that particular day, she worked on a night shift.

She walked out of the gate of the orphanage and felt she heard a faint cry of a baby.

She smiled. She was addicted to her kids at the orphanage that while away from them, she could still hear their cries in her mind.

But taking another step, she heard the cry again. Then she paused. This is not her imagination,nor is she hearing the baby's cry in her mind.

She was hearing it with her ears. She looked back at the orphanage and then like an intuition, she looked sideways and saw swaddling clothes and it seemed she saw the clothes shake.

She shook for fear. She started walking gently towards the swaddling clothes and the baby's cry seemed to be louder than before.

She went and looked further and was shocked when she saw it was a baby.

"A baby!" Milli exclaimed.

She dropped her bag and without a second thought, she carried the baby. The little fellow had sobbed and started sniffling.

Millie's eyes went moist. Was this baby abandoned by his mother? Was he given birth to by a human being or a wild animal?

She saw the baby's face had become reddish. He needed to be taken care of immediately. She looked around but couldn't find the trace of who might have left him there.

She rushed back into the orphanage and went straight to the nursery section. The other employees were surprised to see her rushed back in with a baby in her hand.

"Please call the doctor immediately,"Milli Logan ordered. She quickly unwrapped the baby and gave him over to a nanny to bathe.

Soon the nanny returned and said "it's a girl"

"A girl?" Milli Logan was surprised. He thought the baby was a boy. A woman gave birth to her gender and threw her away?

What a cruel world

Soon the doctor came and went in to attend to the baby. In less than an hour, the doctor came out of the nursery section.

"She's fine now. She's been fed and already asleep" he said with a smile.

Milli Logan smiled. She's glad that the baby is fine. She's glad that she found the baby. She's glad that she's still fine and alive.

She will spend the rest of her life looking after her until she grows up, capable of looking after herself.

That feeling of motherhood overtook Milli Logan and she made up her mind to see that the little fellow experiences the love of a mother.

"What do we call her ?" The nanny asked.

"Call her Aurora"

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

"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?
