Chapter 1 A new beginning

Chapter 1:

The sleek black Mercedes S-Class purred through the grand wrought-iron gates of Riverview High, the prestigious ivy-covered buildings emerging into full view like gothic monarchs surveying their impeccably manicured domain. Alex Torres felt her stomach knot with a potent mix of nerves and determination as she peered out the tinted window, taking in the sprawling emerald lawns and meticulously landscaped gardens that seemed to stretch eternally towards the glistening ocean on the horizon.

This elite private school represented a new chapter in her life, one brimming with uncharted possibility but also fraught with risk. Riverview was a world away from the shadows, unanswered questions, and tormented memories of her past that still haunted her daily like persistent phantoms. Yet there was an enigmatic, nearly magnetic pull about this place that had gnawed at Alex relentlessly until she could no longer resist its siren call. If she was ever to unravel the tangled web of her fractured history and confront the truth she'd been desperately seeking, it seemed fated to begin within these hallowed halls.

As the luxurious town car rolled to a smooth stop, Alex drew in a steadying breath. She knew transferring to Riverview was a gamble, perhaps even foolish given the secrecy and peril surrounding her previous life. But the prospect of finally laying her demons to rest made the plunge into this cloistered realm of wealth, privilege, and societal influence worth the uncertainty.

Offering her thanks to the driver, Alex slipped out of the car and onto the sun-dappled cobblestone drive, the crisp ocean breeze whipping tendrils of her long chestnut hair across her face. She drank in her new environment with a furrowed brow, unable to shake the ominous undercurrent flowing just beneath the surface of Riverview's immaculate facade.

The rolling emerald quads and lush gardens were pristinely manicured, practically glowing with the affluence of the school's old-money patrons. Stately brick buildings exuded an aristocratic air of history and tradition, their Gothic spires and arched windows like unblinking eyes hinting at the countless secrets kept locked away over generations. Oak trees as ancient as the Founding Fathers stood as silent sentries, their gnarled branches extending crooked fingers as if beckoning one closer to unveil the institutionalized skeletons in their closets.

Despite the picturesque beauty surrounding her, Alex's instincts screamed at her to keep her guard up. There was something not quite right, a malevolent specter lingering behind the gleaming veneer. She could sense it in the way the other students seemed to prowl the grounds in packs, their gestures and whispers guarded, frequent glances cast over their shoulders watchful and calculating. At Riverview High, it appeared that no one's intentions were transparent as they let on.

Clutching the strap of her well-worn backpack tighter, Alex headed towards the main administrative building - an imposing edifice of weathered stone that practically oozed institutional power and privilege. She knew all too well the importance of treading cautiously in this insular world where status was akin to a capital offense and scrutinizing gazes silently judged your every move. Like the building tension in the coiled metal of a tightly wound spring, she could feel the threat ready to unleash at even the slightest misstep.

But Alex Torres was no stranger to seeing beyond carefully constructed facades and walking the precarious line between what was brazenly visible and what skulked in the shadows. Her time had finally come to unearth the long-obscured truth, no matter how deeply buried or heavily fortressed it may be. Steeling her resolve, she ascended the granite steps and crossed the threshold into the sanctum of Riverview High, leaving the innocence and naivete of her former life behind for good.

"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?

I watched my husband sign the papers that would end our marriage while he was busy texting the woman he actually loved. He didn't even glance at the header. He just scribbled the sharp, jagged signature that had signed death warrants for half of New York, tossed the file onto the passenger seat, and tapped his screen again. "Done," he said, his voice devoid of emotion. That was Dante Moretti. The Underboss. A man who could smell a lie from a mile away but couldn't see that his wife had just handed him an annulment decree disguised beneath a stack of mundane logistics reports. For three years, I scrubbed his blood out of his shirts. I saved his family's alliance when his ex, Sofia, ran off with a civilian. In return, he treated me like furniture. He left me in the rain to save Sofia from a broken nail. He left me alone on my birthday to drink champagne on a yacht with her. He even handed me a glass of whiskey—her favorite drink—forgetting that I despised the taste. I was merely a placeholder. A ghost in my own home. So, I stopped waiting. I burned our wedding portrait in the fireplace, left my platinum ring in the ashes, and boarded a one-way flight to San Francisco. I thought I was finally free. I thought I had escaped the cage. But I underestimated Dante. When he finally opened that file weeks later and realized he had signed away his wife without looking, the Reaper didn't accept defeat. He burned down the world to find me, obsessed with reclaiming the woman he had already thrown away.
