"You want to still go ahead with this wedding even after I told you all of that?" "Yes" "Why?" "I am curious what you are like" "I can assure you that you won't like what you would get" "That is a cross I am willing to bear" Ophelia meets Cade two years after the nightstand between them that had kept Cade wondering if he truly was in love or if it was just a fleeting emotion that had stayed with him for two years. His grandfather could not have picked a better bride for now. Now that she was sitting in front of him with no memories of that night he was determined never to let her go again. Ophelia had grown up with a promise never to start a family by herself but now that her father was hellbent on making her his heir under the condition that she had to get married she was left with no other option than to get married to the golden-eyed man sitting across from her. "Your looks," she said pointing to his face. "I can live with that" she added tilting her head. Cade wanted to respond but thought against it. "Let us get married"

Chapter 1 LOVED ONE

The light in the club was low but blinding, Cade looked around trying to soak in the face of everyone there. This was his last night at Starlit Haven. He had spent the last six years of his life studying and partying so hard, that he could not believe it was finally over and that he had to return home. He had taken early admissions because the school offered admission to those less than eighteen years of age.

He had gotten in with his brains and family influence when he was just sixteen years old and had spent the next few years completing his bachelor's degree and two master's degrees in business management. He was adamant and determined to take over his family's company. He was twenty-three now and this was finally his escape from all the studying he had to do.

He was a regular at this club and he always loved it here, there were always girls to pick up, especially those who willingly threw themselves at him because of his wealth. Yes, his family back home in Rosewood City were in the top five of the city's billionaires. His identity was never hidden.

"You have been saying for years now that you can not wait to get out of this school but why do you seem sad now that it is time to go?" Luke asked before taking a swig from his cup.

"What do you mean sad?" he scoffed looking around.

"You are not partying as hard as you usually do" Luke replied and he chuckled.

"Nothing of interest today" he said gesturing to the dance floor.

"Harper did not come today," Sam said and they all shivered.

"Why would you call her name and pronounce bad luck on us like that?" Luke said as he threw one of the pillows to Sam. He turned to Cade and began to speak. "You will not find any fun if you decide to sit on your ass here all night"

"Are you asking me to go to the dance floor?" he asked sitting up and pointing to the dance floor from the VIP table they were seated at.

"Yes, you proud wealthy man, to get a girl you need to be in her space" Luke encouraged.

"Except she is Harper" Sam added earning a glare from the other two men.

"The night is young let loose and have fun," Luke said standing up before filling the glass in his hand and heading to the dance floor.

Cade could not believe that for the first time in forever, he had to go to the dance floor before he found a lady. It had never been that difficult for him before. Ladies always flocked around him, he was the one who tried to run away from them because of their persistence.

"If you don't want to come to the dance floor then I guess you'd have to suit yourself" Sam said before going in the same direction that Luke had gone.

Cade shifted in his seat and sat at the edge of the chair taking up the bottle and pouring a little into his cup. Suddenly it was like the dance floor cleared for a woman, she was shaking so vigorously and unrhythmically that anyone could refer to it as dance but surprisingly everyone left the dance floor for her. Some amongst them were even hailing her.

He pressed his lips together as he tried to make out her face, she had a round small face and she danced so horribly that it was hard to miss but her face was so perfectly sculpted that it was as though someone had sat down to draw out the details themselves. She kept dancing so much that she did not stop at any point to see what others were doing.

Some people were already joining in the dance at some point, but she still stood out among them all. A smile was permanently pasted on her face, after a good solid minutes of dancing she finally slowed down her tempo and began to walk out of the dance floor towards the VIP booth section.

She slowed down as she passed by his booth and gave him a wink, he could not be so sure about what he saw because of the dim light in there but he could swear that she was making advances at him. He cleared his throat and slurped down the contents in his cup before standing up and walking over to the booth she had stopped at. She smiled to welcome him as though she had been waiting for him.

"I see you are alone" he said and she nodded.

"Must you be with the company when you come to the club? If you have company then you should go on a date instead" Her voice still sounded firm even though he could swear that she was already tipsy.

"That is a fair point, can I join you?" he asked and she nodded, he slipped in and sat with her.

All his lines were suddenly lost in his throat as he could not for the life of him remember anything he would have said normally and instead, he said. "You dance..."

She did not allow him to finish his statement before she cut him off. "Beautifully? Like an angel? Like I was born to dance?" she asked and he laughed. She was no ordinary girl, it was obvious she came from money with how she spoke and acted.

"Well, if you say so then I guess it is true," he said and she nodded.

"You should have joined me on the dance floor instead of just watching me," she said with a wink.

"Are you flirting with me?" he asked so suddenly that she was thrown off by his question. "It is just that it feels that way," he said and she shook her head.

"I guess your ego must be bigger than your head" she said taking the cup to her mouth and downing the entire cup contents in there.

"Well confidence is key isn't it?" he asked taking out his hand for a handshake. "I am Cade"

She looked at his hand intently, it was as though she was carefully studying it and weighing in her mind the reasons why she should take his hand, after a second of his hand in the air and him already getting embarrassed she finally took his hand, his huge hands covering her small hand that it was almost lost in there.

"I am Victoria, but you can call me Toria"

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 had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.

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.

I stood at the edge of the freezing pond on the Boone estate, my body trembling with a fear that rattled my bones. Across from me, Amanda Olsen looked immaculate in her cashmere coat, a sharp contrast to the jagged reality I was trying to hold together. "Why?" I whispered. Amanda just smiled, admitting she killed Grandpa Boone because he actually liked me. She pulled out a thick envelope-divorce papers Cordero had signed that morning. She told me he called me a parasite and was celebrating with her the night I suffered a miscarriage. Before I could even scream, Amanda lunged and shoved me into the icy water. My heavy wool coat acted like a sponge, dragging me into the artificial abyss. I thrashed and gasped for air, but Amanda just stood on the bank, watching me drown with her hands tucked casually in her pockets. As my lungs burned and the darkness closed in, I realized I had spent my entire marriage taking their abuse. I was the "foster trash" and the "gold digger" who let them win every single time. I was dying alone, hated by the husband I had tried so hard to love, while my murderer stood victorious on the shore. I never fought back. I just let them destroy me. Then, a violent spasm tore through my body. I sat up gasping, sucking in dry, air-conditioned oxygen instead of murky pond water. I wasn't dead. I was back in the opulent master suite, surrounded by red rose petals and wedding decorations. The digital clock glowed: October 14, 2019. I had gone back five years to the very night my nightmare began. The bathroom door clicked open, and Cordero stepped out, looking at me with the same cold disgust I remembered. But as I gripped the silk sheets, a new resolve hardened in my chest. This time, I wasn't going to be the victim. This time, the Boone family was going to find out exactly what happens when you push someone too far.
