Chapter 1 Newyork

Living in Newyork was a challenge I didn't see coming . New York is a city filled with luxurious hotels , people with luxurious lifestyle , expensive restaurants and malls and in the center of the city is where my workplace is located; a company that is known for its involvement in every sector, the CEO Is one of the richest people in the world making the company the top in US and paet of the top 3 in the world and I happen to be working in the HR department

"Jessica can you stop daydreaming" alexia whispered

I wasnt" I argued

"Well if you weren't you would have laughed when our Vp started her usual nusicance" she snorted

Okay, okay that's enough" our vp shouted " Everyone back to work"

I couldn't help but pity myself and everyone in this department because we are been called weirdos and a waste of companies money by the other departments" I whispered to Alexia

"Well I cannot but agree with them, because our Vp is really a raging mad woman" Liam said moving his chair closer to me and alexia

"Mr Thomas I believe gisting is not what you are paid for right?" She yelled

"Yes ma'am" Liam replied

Now get your asses back to work" she said as she glared at the 3 of us

"Yes ma'am" we chorused

This woman is clearly possessed, I can feel it" alexia whisper yelled

" Keep quiet the chief is heading towards us" I spoke

The chief of our department was the only one keeping us sane in that department and helping us escape the wrath of the ruthless Vp.

" Hello everyone" the chief greeted warmly as he entered.

" I'm so sorry if I have interrupted your work but I have something very important to request from you all" he said with a warm smile on his face.

"As you all know the executive meeting with the CEO is today and we executives of the company are all expected to be there with our personal assistant by our side, but unfortunately my PA as called on sick" he continued.

I could already feel alexia stiffen beside me and when I looked round at others, everyone had fear written on their face

"So I would really like if someone can volunteer"

Damien Knight who happens to be the CEO of Knight Industries was known for his ruthlessness to everyone , he was said to be a very cold and heartless person who doesn't care about others not to talk more of their feelings. He was known to be the most handsome man in the world but behind that handsomeness is a very cold heart. Being a PA to any executive is like committing suicide because you have to meet Mr Knight every month and you have the probability of even fired, because even breathing in the same room he is can get the person fired.

Anyone??

My mind immediately came back to what the chief was saying

"Any volunteer? "He asked again

"Sir do you mind if I choose someone?" Our Vp butted in

" No I don't mind, you can go ahead" he said with hope in his eyes

Immediately she was given the permission are eyes zoomed toward me, alexia and Liam

" Liam you go" She said and Liam looked up in horror.

"Ma I don't think I can , I have been feeling down since morning and I think I'm coming down with a flu" immediately after speaking he excused himself.

Immediately me and the Vp eyes came in contact the best thing that came out of her mouth was " Jessie you go then"

I tried finding an excuse but I couldn't so I just gave up and accepted defeat.

I couldn't say no, so I stood up reluctantly

I am so happy that you could render a helping hands toward me"chief smiled " let's quickly go before Mr Knight gets mad".

"Okay sir" I gritted out

" Let's go then" the chief smiled

I placed a fake smile on my face and followed him to the top floor while praying for this meeting to go successfully

We finally got to the CEO floor and walked towards the meeting room where other executive where filing in.

After every executive was sitted with their PA beside them, a very handsome man entered the room and I immediately recognised him as Brian Kingston the secretary to the devil

"Good morning everyone, Mr Knight should be here anytime soon" immediately he finished talking a very handsome and hot man who was 6ft tall with a well proportional physique exuding confidence with a chiseled jaw , piercing blue eyes , black sleek hair came into the room and I immediately knew that was Damien Knight. In my 3 years of working here I have never seen this man so close and he does no justice to the pictures in the magazine because he is drop dead fucking gorgeous .

He strode towards his seat at the top of the table without acknowledging anyone and pulled back his chair to seat. Our chief was sitting next to his chair meaning I was very close to him.

And seeing I did something that turned my life around for the worst

I sneezed

.........

Immediately Damien turned to me with glaring eyes and I felt like been swallowed by the ground.

His face was void of any emotions and displayed no rage and while still under his glaring eyes I sneezed again.

Oh God , I'm about to die" I muttered

I could already see the consequence glaring back at me and that was me handing in my resignation letter or getting fired before the meeting.

" Sir something needs your attention outside" Brian whispered to him

" What is that?" He asked

"Elizabeth" that was the only reply Brian before he stood up with rage emitting from his body making me pity whosoever this Elizabeth was.

Not too long after he left the room , we all heard his booming voice from outside.

"Get her out of my company right now" he shouted

Everyone present in the room was surprised because Damien never shows emotions but this woman triggered the unknown in him and made him mad. And his cold self is so much better than his angry self.

I had been a wife for exactly six hours when I woke up to the sound of my husband’s heavy breathing. In the dim moonlight of our bridal suite, I watched Hardin, the man I had adored for years, intertwined with my sister Carissa on the chaise lounge. The betrayal didn't come with an apology. Hardin stood up, unashamed, and sneered at me. "You're awake? Get out, you frumpy mute." Carissa huddled under a throw, her fake tears already welling up as she played the victim. They didn't just want me gone; they wanted me erased to protect their reputations. When I refused to move, my world collapsed. My father didn't offer a shoulder to cry on; he threatened to have me committed to a mental asylum to save his business merger. "You're a disgrace," he bellowed, while the guards stood ready to drag me away. They had spent my life treating me like a stuttering, submissive pawn, and now they were done with me. I felt a blinding pain in my skull, a fracture that should have broken me. But instead of tears, something dormant and lethal flickered to life. The terrified girl who walked down the aisle earlier that day simply ceased to exist. In her place, a clinical system—the Valkyrie Protocol—booted up. My racing heart plummeted to a steady sixty beats per minute. I didn't scream. I stood up, my spine straightening for the first time in twenty years, and looked at Hardin with the detachment of a surgeon looking at a tumor. "Correction," I said, my voice stripped of its stutter. "You're in my light." By dawn, I had drained my father's accounts, vanished into a storm, and found a bleeding Crown Prince in a hidden safehouse. They thought they had broken a mute girl. They didn't realize they had just activated their own destruction.

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.

My stepmother sold me like a piece of inventory to a man known for breaking people just to plug the financial crater my father left behind. I was delivered to the Morton estate in the middle of a freezing storm, stripped of my phone, and told that if I didn't make myself useful, my senile grandfather would be evicted from his care facility by noon. The master of the house, Adonis Morton IV, was a monster living in a silent mausoleum, driven to the brink of madness by a sensory condition that turned every sound into a physical assault. When I was forced into his suite to serve him, he didn't see a human being; he saw a source of agony. In a fit of animalistic rage, he pinned me to the wall and nearly strangled me to death just for the sound of a shattering teacup. I only survived by using my grandfather’s secret herbal blends and pressure-point therapy to force his overactive nervous system into a drugged sleep. But saving him was my greatest mistake. Instead of letting me go, Adonis moved me into a guest suite connected to his own bedroom by a hidden door. He didn't just want me as a servant; he needed me as a human white-noise machine to drown out the demons in his head. The nightmare deepened when he took the promissory note that defined my freedom and tore it into confetti. By destroying the debt, he destroyed my exit strategy. He replaced my maid’s uniform with a silver silk dress that clung to my skin but did nothing to hide the dark, ugly bruises his fingers had left on my neck. He branded me as his "primary care associate," a title that was nothing more than a gilded cage. I felt a sickening sense of injustice as he forced me to sign a contract that banned me from contacting other men and required me to sleep wherever he slept. He looked at me with a possessive heat, calling me his "medication" rather than a woman. My family had sold my body, but Adonis Morton was intent on owning my very presence, using my grandfather’s medical bills as a leash to keep me within twenty feet of him at all times. Standing in a neglected greenhouse with mud staining my expensive silk, I realized I was no longer a victim waiting for rescue. If I was going to be his medication, I would learn how to be his cure—or his undoing. I began clearing the weeds with a cold, calculated frenzy, determined to turn this prison into my laboratory. He thinks he has trapped a helpless girl, but I am going to pry open the cracks in his stone walls until his entire world comes crashing down.
