Jack and Jill were young adults who started as childhood friends and became lovers but life led them on two different paths. She wanted to escape the small-town life and he wanted to get married and settle down. But distance made her heart grow fonder for him, yet her absence made his heart grow colder towards her. When Jill returned to Thornsberry to reaffirm her love for Jack, she was rejected because there was another love in his life, Cindy Von. Jill chose to leave Thornsberry permanently after Jack denied her and confessed his love for Cindy. The night before her departure, there was an assault reported on Jack and Jill, which left them both lying unconscious, but no one knew who was responsible. And there was no sign of Cindy Von.

Jack and Jill of Thornsberry Chapter 1 Inside the Well

It was dark and Cindy and Jack were making out by the well. There was a loud thump to the back of Jack's head then he collapsed on the ground and rolled down the hill. There was a dark figure behind Cindy Von, but before she could react or turn completely around, she was hit on the side of her neck and in the back of her head with a metal

object. She screamed out, "Aaaah!" Then she was pushed inside the well, falling all the way down to the bottom, where she passed out.

It was morning and Cindy was waking up to darkness, but when she looked up, she could see the clear blue skies. She thought she was having a bad dream. There was pain all over her body and she had a terrible headache. The well was old and musty with cold concrete at the bottom. Cindy could barely move around, because of the sharp pains she was feeling. She rolled her body over the broken pieces of the branches underneath her. She was trying to remember what happened and how she got inside the well.

Branches and roots were sticking out of the walls of the well, which broke her fall but caused bruises, minor cuts, and pain to her body. But if she had hit the concrete directly, she would have suffered a few broken or fractured bones. Cindy figured she had to be with Jack before the accident happened, but something went wrong.... But what happened, and who was responsible? She wondered where was Jack and if he was the reason she was inside the well. At that moment Cindy's thoughts were a blur, she was scared and confused. She screamed as loud as she could, hoping someone was around to hear her.

"HEEELP! HEEELP! PLEASE HELP ME! SOMEBODY, PLEASE HELP ME!!"

There was no answer and no one seemed to be around or near the well. Cindy knew on the weekends the park had lots of Thornsberry residents hanging out, she remembered the first time Jack took her to the park. She couldn't even remember what day it was or how she got inside the well. Her stomach was growling, because she was hungry and thirsty, but that was another problem she had no solution for. Cindy thought about rodents and bugs being inside the well with her in the darkness that would soon fill the well after the sun went down. The daylight from the outside gave some light inside the well but not enough to make her feel safe. She had to use the bathroom but she could hardly see anything so she held it in for a while, hoping someone would realize she was missing and would come looking for her. But Cindy didn't remember if she told her parents or friends of her whereabouts. She lay on her back looking up at the sky, watching as the day became night. She rolled over and closed her eyes so she wouldn't have to see the darkness but think about getting out of the well to be with her family again.

I married Clive Harrington, the coldest billionaire in Manhattan, under a strict contract that forbade any emotional burdens. When I needed a high-risk surgery to save my sight, I checked into the clinic alone, hiding the procedure from a husband who saw me as nothing more than a legal asset. I thought I could handle the darkness in silence. But while I was blind and bandaged in my hospital bed, my biological mother called, screaming that if I didn't produce a Harrington heir by the end of the fiscal year, she would cut off the life-saving treatments for my disabled sister. I was crawling on the cold hospital floor, desperately feeling for a cane I had dropped, when I touched a pair of expensive leather shoes. It was Clive. He was supposed to be in London closing a multi-million dollar deal, but there he was, watching his "contract wife" groveling in the dark like a beggar. He didn't walk away in disgust. He carried me to a five-thousand-dollar-a-night VIP suite and sat by my bed, listening in chilling silence as another voicemail from my mother filled the room, calling me a "useless broodmare" who was only worth the trust fund disbursements my marriage secured. I expected him to remind me of Clause 34B or hand me divorce papers now that I was "damaged goods." Instead, I felt his thumb brush a stray tear from my cheek, his presence shifting from a statue of ice into a predatory shield. "I thought I was just currency to you," I whispered, my voice trembling behind the gauze. "Just an investment." Clive didn't answer with words. He picked up his phone and called his head of legal with a single, terrifying command: "Kill the Douglas family’s credit lines. Every debt, every lien—trigger them all. If they want a war, I’ll give them a massacre." As he leaned down to kiss my bandaged forehead, I realized the contract was dead. My husband wasn't protecting an asset anymore; he was hunting the people who had dared to touch what belonged to him.

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.
