Chapter 1 All the way

Chapter 1: All the way

"The angels shall be your guide as you embark on this wonderful journey darling. Nothing you seek will be difficult to get. Go well, you're not alone my dear." Grandma Walls blessed Anita as she accompanied her with the other family members to the car park.

"Thanks Grandma!"

"Sister I can wait to see you on the TV"

"Hope you won't forget to report about me!"

They teased Anita as they went.

Almost was moved to tears upon the idea that she would be leaving her family after so many years of living together.

"I will surely make you all proud of me!" she said, trying to dry of some tears.

"We are sure sister!"

"Here it is!"

A car that they had booked stopped at their front, waiting on Anita to enter.

Kissing them goodbye, she entered the car and it zoomed off. She was leaving Houston for good, she was sure.

After what seemed like forever, they left the park seeing as the car was no longer in sight.

Anita felt bad at first but when she got to some point, she felt grateful to be able to make this move.

As the car passed by, she enjoyed the view of the city.

She was heading to her dream city to pursue her dream career.

From a distance in the car, she could already spot the glitz and glamorous New York City.

Smiling, this was the beginning of her life's journey. She wasn't going to joke with it for even a bit.

New York City is the largest and most influential American metropolis, the most populous and the most international city in the country, going there was the best decision she could make for herself.

California

Andre sat on his chair in his study room, as he listened to a voice tape his assistant had just brought in.

"What do you expect? What makes you think I'm doing this for love? Hell no! I'm only getting in to get some cash. Once my mission is accomplished, I'm out!"

He then smiled, he was not surprised. This was typical of the girls in this city.

Placing his left hand on his jaw, he went into a deep thought. He needed a way out. He needed a wife to go into another level. He needed to get the inheritance but with a genuine person.

A thought then came into his mind. Picking up his phone, he dialed his assistant's phone number.

"Come see me now!" He said, hanging up the phone.

Picking up the glass of wine on his table, he made his way to the balcony.

Andre stood at the centre of the luxurious balcony, placed one hand into his pocket while he sipped his wine, having a beautiful view of the mesmerizing scenery.

He thought about what he had in mind, wondering if it would work out cool. He could not back off, once his mind accept something, it means it's worth doing.

He had got to give it a try.

Not too long after, his assistant made his way into the building. Cass went straight up the stairs to his study room and pushed the door open.

On seeing that his master wasn't in, he decided to check the balcony.

On reaching there, he smiled as he bowed.

"Master Andre!"

"You took long!"

"I'm sorry Master!"

Turning to face his assistant, "follow me!" he said, going back into the study room.

Andre sat down and drafted a few things down on a paper. After that, he passed it to Cass.

Cass took the paper immediately and went through it.

When he read what was written on the paper, he froze.

Looking up at his master, "Master!"

"That's what I have to do. There's no other choice."

Get everything needed ready. Let me know when you're set.

"Yes Master!" Cass said and stood up to leave. He to had no other option. He didn't blame his boss.

The only thing he could do for him was to support his decisions, nothing less.

In a few hours later, everything was set.

Andre appeared out of his room, looking like a cheap staff. The clothes were simple regular clothes that anyone could buy, making him look so normal. The footwear was just a not so good slippers. His hair looked a bit tattered.

"Master, can we really do this? If the rest should see this, I won't be spared."

"What do you mean Cass. Are you now doubting my decisions?"

"Never Master!"

"Then keep shut and let me do my mind."

"Yes Master! Master, the car you asked me to prepare is ready."

"We are good then."

Like that, Andre transformed into an ordinary man.

Cass got changed as well as they entered the simple car and left the mansion. Without informing anyone, they made their way to New York City.

If this is what it will take for me to have peace of mind, I'm willing to. I hope this works out. Andre said to himself as he watched the scenic view.

New York City

Anita had already gotten to New York City, as she lodged in a simple apartment.

Thank goodness for her friend Kate. If it wasn't for her, she probably wouldn't have been there.

Kate and Anita had been best friends from childhood. Due to Kate had lost her parents, she had to leave Houston to start a new life in New York, living with her boyfriend.

If she had not reconnected with her over the phone, her dreams of moving to New York City would have only remained a dream, nothing more.

"Girlie, you look so beautiful. Wow!" Kate gushed over Anita.

"Don't tease me. You look amazing, I should be gushing over you." Anita replied smiling.

"Hahaha! So, this is the apartment I helped you find. Simple yet classy and affordable." Kate said as she started showing the place to Anita.

"Thanks a lot girl! I have no idea what I would have done without you." Anita said, looking at her so gratefully.

I sat in the gray, airless room of the New York State Department of Corrections, my knuckles white as the Warden delivered the news. "Parole denied." My father, Howard Sterling, had forged new evidence of financial crimes to keep me behind bars. He walked into the room, smelling of expensive cologne, and tossed a black folder onto the steel table. It was a marriage contract for Lucas Kensington, a billionaire currently lying in a vegetative state in the ICU. "Sign it. You walk out today." I laughed at the idea of being sold to a "corpse" until Howard slid a grainy photo toward me. It showed a toddler with a crescent-moon birthmark—the son Howard told me had died in an incubator five years ago. He smiled and told me the boy's safety depended entirely on my cooperation. I was thrust into the Kensington estate, where the family treated me like a "drowned rat." They dressed me in mothball-scented rags and mocked my status, unaware that I was monitoring their every move. I watched the cousin, Julian, openly waiting for Lucas to die to inherit the empire, while the doctors prepared to sign the death certificate. I didn't understand why my father would lie about my son’s death for years, or what kind of monsters would use a child as a bargaining chip. The injustice of it burned in my chest as I realized I was just a pawn in a game of old money and blood. As the monitors began to flatline and the family started to celebrate their inheritance, I locked the door and reached into the hem of my dress. I pulled out the sharpened silver wires I’d fashioned in the prison workshop. They thought they bought a submissive convict, but they actually invited "The Saint"—the world’s most dangerous underground surgeon—into their home. "Wake up, Lucas. You owe me a life." I wasn't there to be a bride; I was there to wake the dead and burn their empire to the ground.

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.
