Chapter 1 Shattered trust

Stacy was leaving her parents' funeral grounds. In her mind, she envisioned peace, thinking that where she was heading would be peaceful, but trouble began the moment she knocked on the door.

Unfortunately, Caspian wasn't home, so the door was opened by Caspian's mother, who was furious upon seeing her.

"What are you doing here?" was the question Caspian's mother asked, her forehead wrinkled in anger.

"Oh, come on, mother! Is that really a question?" Stacy asked with a smile, but Caspian's mother didn't receive it kindly.

"I came home. Is it a crime to come home?" Stacy said, looking at Caspian's mother, who didn't respond and instead slammed the door in her face and went inside.

She was left outside, stunned, unable to understand what was happening. She waited, and after about 20 minutes, Caspian's mother reopened the door, this time with a suitcase full of clothes, and said, "I believe no one came here with anything, right?"

"Mother, what do you mean?" Stacy asked.

"I didn't give birth to a creature like you, so stop it! Just stop and take your luggage and leave," Caspian's mother said, throwing the suitcase down.

"Even so, you will still be my mother-in-law," Stacy interjected.

"I didn't give birth to such filth. My child is the only one. Take your suitcase and leave," Caspian's mother said angrily.

Stacy thought it was a joke, what Caspian's mother was saying, but she came to believe it after seeing the door closed again, and when she tried to knock, there was no sign of it being opened. Her head hurt; she was left in shock, not knowing what decision to make.

"Where do I go? I'm not leaving; I'm not going anywhere. I'm carrying Caspian's child. I need to see him and talk about this pregnancy," Stacy said as she sat down, unwilling to leave the area.

*****

While Stacy was still in shock, the gate suddenly opened, and Caspian's mother appeared. She thought Stacy had already left, but that wasn't the case. She was very angry.

Stacy looked at Caspian's mother, but the bag she was carrying hit her face. She found it hard to stand up properly because she was just about to get up. Being hit infuriated Stacy, but she tried to control her anger.

"Why did you hit me?" Stacy asked, approaching Caspian's mother.

"Just leave," Caspian's mother said angrily.

She remained frozen, still puzzled, trying to figure out what to do. A car stopped in front of the house, and Caspian got out. Caspian saw Stacy and decided to approach her, looking furious.

"What are you doing here?" Caspian asked angrily.

Everyone turned their eyes to look at Caspian. Caspian's mother saw this as the perfect moment to pretend she was crying to convince her son that she had been beaten. Since Caspian had seen the commotion while he was in the car, he believed it was true that his mother had been beaten.

"Mom, what's going on?" Caspian asked.

"She hit me, she came here, and I gave her, her clothes to leave since morning.....," she hadn't finished speaking when Stacy interrupted.

"Mother, stop lying, no one has beaten you. And I didn't come here with bad intentions," Stacy snapped angrily, her temper flaring.

"If it's not with bad intentions, why are you here? No one wants you here," Caspian's mother raised her voice at Stacy, who had been sitting quietly listening.

"Get out of my house, go back to wherever you came from, you clingy dog!" Caspian's mother added.

Being called a dog by someone she deeply respected hurt Stacy a lot. She felt deeply offended and wondered what to do to that woman who looked at her with envy. Finally, she decided to speak gently.

"Caspian, can I talk to you?" she asked Caspian, who turned and looked at Stacy, then spat in her face and disdainfully said, "I can't talk to a woman who stinks, always smelling."

"And stop shouting," Caspian said as he slapped her.

"And get away from here, you whore," Caspian's mother said mockingly, pushing Stacy.

Every time she tried to speak, she shed tears and couldn't manage to say anything. She was in a prison of pain, a prison she didn't know when she would be freed from.

"Get out, leave," Caspian said, then kicked Stacy in the back, causing her to fall to the ground on her stomach.

Caspian's mother saw this as the perfect opportunity to kick Stacy again. She positioned herself to kick her on the side.

"I am pregnant. I can't leave because I am thinking about the life I will live without the person who got me pregnant," Stacy cried out with great pain.

These words were accompanied by tears that flowed every time she spoke. She never expected to be the first to say something like that, but what she was going through made her feel she had to reveal the truth so that decisions could be made.

Despite the truth being revealed, Caspian became even angrier. He was fierce and didn't want to hear anything about the pregnancy.

"Just because I'm rich, you want to give me that pregnancy, right?" he said.

"Find someone else to give that pregnancy to, you dog," Caspian's mother said.

"But it's your pregnancy, my love. You know I have never been with another man besid....." Stacy couldn't finish her sentence before Caspian's mother slapped her again, a holy slap that went deep.

"I don't want to hear you say that the pregnancy is my son's or that he went and came back with other issues. Caspian has no pregnancy," she turned towards her son and said, "and I want you to go inside, no talking to prostitutes," Caspian's mother said.

Caspian had no choice but to obey his mother. He stepped back, got into the car, then drove it inside, and his mother closed the gate. Stacy stared in disbelief at what was happening.

"I truly believe people change," Stacy said as tears fell from her eyes. She couldn't believe that those who had hurt and disrespected her were the same people she had trusted and who had been part of her happiness.

Stacy was left outside, feeling immense pain in her heart. She found herself crying heavily, tears streaming down in agony. She had nowhere to go or rely on; she felt as if the entire world had collapsed on her.

"Pregnancy brings so many challenges," she said to herself as tears flowed, "Who will help me raise this child? At least accept..." Before she could finish speaking, the gate opened again.

Her eyes wanted to see who was coming out. It was Caspian, carrying an electric jug filled with water. When he arrived, he didn't waste time; he opened it and poured the water on Stacy who cried in agony.

"Go report it anywhere, no one will arrest me," Caspian said, hitting her stomach before closing the door.

I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires. Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancé, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world. My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets. I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her. The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money. I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table. "Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead."

I was at my own engagement party at the Sterling estate when the world started tilting. Victoria Sterling, my future mother-in-law, smiled coldly as she watched me struggle with a cup of tea that had been drugged to ruin me. Before I could find my fiancé, Ryan, a waiter dragged me into the forbidden West Wing and locked me in a room with Julian Sterling, the family’s "fallen titan" who had been confined to a wheelchair for years. The door burst open to a frenzy of camera flashes and theatrical screams. Victoria framed me as a seductress caught in the act, and Ryan didn't even try to listen to my pleas, calling me "cheap leftovers" before walking away with his pregnant mistress. When I turned to my own family for help, my father signed a document severing our relationship for a five-million-dollar payout from Julian. They traded me like a commodity without a second thought. I didn't understand why my own parents were so eager to sell me, or how Ryan could look at me with such disgust after promising me forever. I was a sacrifice, a pawn used to protect the family's offshore accounts, and I couldn't fathom how every person I loved had a price tag for my destruction. With nowhere left to go, I married Julian in a bleak ceremony at City Hall. He slid a heavy diamond onto my finger and whispered, "We have a war to start." That night, inside his secret penthouse, I watched the paralyzed man stand up from his wheelchair and activate a screen filled with the Sterling family's darkest secrets. The execution had officially begun.
