Chapter 1 Marriage stamp

Noah watched with an expressionless face as Valeria signed the documents with shaking hands while the minister stands beside her to guide her hand to the right place.

If Noah is a man who appreciates beautiful women, he would describe her as wonderfully made, with a full head of thick red hair, rosy lips and perfectly proportioned nose and with the way her body fills out the white gown on her body, she is definitely endowed.

But of course he is not a man who enjoy women's company, he hates people in general, he hardly even likes himself but he despises women even more, for their deceitful ways, and it does not exclude the blind one that just signed a lifetime of being hellbound with him.

"We now pronounce you husband and wife, you may now kiss your bride" the Minister's voice boomed into his thoughts and the hard gaze he laids on him make the minister flinch back as if he'd been slapped.

Noah gives the impaired woman who just become his wife one last look and slithes out of the church without making a sound.

Everyone except his family was surprised by the way he reacted.They know how ruthless he can be and some hadn't even expected him to actually show up for the wedding.

Valeria heard his retreating footsteps and wondered why he had left so suddenly, though she wasn't really ready to fulfill her marital obligation, but this kiss is supposed to seal their wedding vows and she had never heard of a wedding without a kiss which makes hers the first, she was still contemplating this while standing like a fool at the alter with her cheek blushed crisom when she heard the footsteps of another person coming towards her and from the solid sound of it, it's probably male.

"May I?" The person said and placed Valeria right hand on his forearm, so she could hold onto him.

Valeria laids her gloved hand on Lucas forearm as he led her out of the church, she wants to cry and laugh both at the same time,she can't believe this is actually her wedding day, because it feels like she had just escaped one prison only to be led to another.

But she would walk down the aisle and out of this church with her chin held high, she will not give her deceitful stepmother the satisfaction of seeing her cry, because seeing her tears will certainly gladden her heart, but she won't give her that satisfaction as there will be plenty of time for tears later.

"Valeria sweetheart,I hope you will be twice as happy as your were with me" Valeria heard her father's voice and she felt him draw closer to her to give her a light hug.

"Thank you father"She said while faking a smile towards him.

'You wedded me to someone I'm not in love with but then you expect me to have twice the happiness I never got while being with you'.She thought to herself but kept her face cool like she wasn't hurt by his ignorance all the time.

"Oh Valeria dear,I'm so upset I wouldn't be seeing you as much anymore" Valeria heard Alice,her stepmother who pretends she loves her only in front of her father said while hugging her tightly, she feels like smashing her damned face but she won't let herself lose control.

"Have a horrible lifetime of marriage with that monster you just got married to" Alice whispered to Valeria's ear with a bright smile on her face.

Valeria held no expression still.She had learnt to keep a smile on her face even if she's in an unpleasant situation, she has been doing it for a long time, she won't lose it now.

The only person who stood rigid with her arms crossed was Julia, her stepsister who hesitated in hugging her. Julia came close enough to give her a light hug.

"I will be okay Julia" Valeria whispered to Julia who looks questioningly at Valeria but knew she couldn't see her expression, so she held both Valeria's hand and squeezed reassuringly.

"Who said I was worried"Julia scoffed and that made Valeria smile, the first genuine smile she has had since she woke up today, because Julia had always try to not show any sign of pity for her but deep down,Valeria knew she was the only one in her family who truly cared.

"Are you gonna start crying on me?" the man leading her out of the church said with a gentle voice "If it's about Mr Owen leaving you behind, you need not feel bad about it, he is like that to everyone"

"Who are you?, And why are you talking informally to me?" Valeria inquired with a shaky voice as the man in question guided her towards the car which Noah was in.

"Sorry for not formally introducing myself,my name is Lucas Anderson and I happen to be your husband's personal assistant, and as of right now,I also become your personal assistant"Lucas said with a warm smile, even though he knew she couldn't see it but at least he hoped she will feel that he's not her enemy.

He guided her into the backseat of the car and Valeria's body tensed up instantly, her husband is probably the one sitting next to where she sat.Her body becomes stiff and her breaths starts coming fast,not because of the person's presence but because she is sitting inside a car, she can feel the space closing in on her and her palm started sweating.

But since she did not want her brand new husband to think her weak and stupid, she reigned in her discomfort and managed a calm and serene look, even though she was dying to get out of the car.

She heard the car starts and her subconscious made her hold on to her wedding gown tightly like her life depended on it and despite the calm look on her face, her whole body trembles in fear.

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 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 sat on the cold tile floor of our Upper East Side penthouse, staring at the two pink lines until my vision blurred. After ten years of loving Julian Sterling and three years of a hollow marriage, I finally had the one thing that could bridge the distance between us. I was pregnant. But Julian didn't come home with flowers for our anniversary. He tossed a thick manila envelope onto the marble coffee table with a heavy thud. Fiona, the woman he'd truly loved for years, was back in New York, and he told me our "business deal" was officially over. "Sign it," He said, his voice flat and devoid of emotion. He looked at me with the cold detachment of a man selling a piece of unwanted furniture. When I hesitated, he told me to add a zero to the alimony if the money wasn't enough. I realized in that moment that if he knew about the baby, he wouldn't love me; he would simply take my child and give it to Fiona to raise. I shoved the pregnancy test into my pocket, signed the papers with a shaking hand, and lied through my teeth. When my morning sickness hit, I slumped to the floor to hide the truth. "It's just cramps," I gasped, watching him recoil as if I were contagious. To make him stay away, I invented a man named Jack-a fake boyfriend who supposedly gave me the kindness Julian never could. Suddenly, the man who wanted me gone became a monster of possessiveness. He threatened to "bury" a man who didn't exist while leaving me humiliated at his family's dinner to rush to Fiona's side. I was so broken that I even ate a cake I was deathly allergic to, then had to refuse life-saving steroids at the hospital because they would harm the fetus. Julian thinks he's stalling the divorce for two months to protect the family's reputation for his father's Jubilee. He thinks he's keeping his "property" on a short leash until the press dies down. He has no idea I'm using those sixty days to build a fortress for my child. By the time he realizes the truth, I'll be gone, and the Sterling heir will be far beyond his reach.
