Chapter 1 Diana

Thunder boomed and lightning flashed in the sky, the atmosphere was very eerie, and wind raged outside the house, making a young girl confirm her suspicions. "Mum, Dad doesn't go I had a bad dream, in my dream you guys left and never came back" Diana yelled, her mum, a woman with black hair smiled at her, "Oh honey, it was just a bad dream, just stay put, I and your dad want to rectify something, you know what rectify means right, I taught you..........." "I know Mom, I know. Dad why are you holding a gun, is that a silver bullet" Diana asked.

Her father stared at her with his intense blue eyes, he had blonde hair just like hers. "Yes honey, this is...............his wife elbowed him and he groaned, "Alright, alright, see Diana. We are going somewhere and it is dangerous we want you to stay here in these protected walls, away from danger, we will come back, I promise hon." her father said, Diana glared at them both, tears streaming down her face. "Okay, promise me, you are gonna use the bulletproof SUV like in the movies okay?" Diana whispered and hugged them both, her parents returned the hug. "We will" her father's deep voice made her relax, "I'll bring us both in one piece, sugar," he said and they both stood and waved but as they went away Diana's feeling of dread and foreboding heightened and she could not help but feel they weren't going to come back. I woke up gasping and covered in sweat, these dreams again? They just kept on coming, I am Diana Peters, just an average girl with no parents and relatives I know of, I was told by a lawyer that my parents died in an accident(I find that hard to believe though, considering where they told me where they where going before I never saw them again). I groaned as the alarm rang and I punched the button and It stopped its annoying ringing, I sighed and peeked from under the covers and groaned again, sunlight filtered through the curtains, with a jolt, I remembered I had to go to my work, I bolted upright and stripped and grabbed my robe and hurried to the bathroom, after that, I put on a shirt on sky blue jeans and ran out of the house, I ran to the train station and bought a ticket and waited for the train after fifteen minutes of waiting for the next train arrived and I climb in and sat. "Hi," a voice said and I whirled round to find a man sitting with his Rottweiler, I knew him, he delivered parcels, and in a way, I felt we were related because we were both hard workers but the difference was that my parents left me an inheritance, not money though, I had to work for it. "Hi Dave " I replied and he grinned, "You good?" I asked and he nodded, I reached out to rub his Rottweiler head, it whined and I reached into my bag and brought out Walmart hotdogs, tore the wrapper, and poured it for the Rottweiler, it whined happily and started devouring its meal, I stared on hungrily, that was my only meal for today and here was this lucky dog eating it, Dave stared at the hot dog too, "You shouldn't have done that," he said and I just smiled, the dog finished its food and sat beside me and I rubbed its head, Dave raked his hand through his brown hair. "So Diana, how is work, heard you got a job in a commercial company," he said "After years of searching, doing stupid jobs, where you get insulted" I replied "Yeah, jobs like mine, there was this time I went to deliver parcels in the night and hoodlums attacked me, thank goodness that I brought along Max, he nearly killed them all when one punched me. You are lucky to get this new job, Diana, I still remember when they asked you to do a stripper job" Dave said. I laughed out loud and winked at him, "Yeah, thank God I didn't even step foot there, gangbang? Nah I can't, not me" I said, the train then honked loudly, "This is my stop I guess, I guess I have to be going, feed Max well," I said and scratched Max between the ears, Dave waved and Max whined sadly. I jumped down from the train and watched as it moved away, I powered on my phone, checked for directions, clicked on the company's email, and saw the directions. I followed the direction and finally got to my destination, hell, the company was impressive and massive, mustering courage, I sucked in my breath and walked straight up to the receptionist. "Hi, I am Diana, I was sent an email from Mr. Varane to come and see him," I said, the receptionist stared at me and grinned, revealing perfect white teeth. "Umm, fifth floor, room twelve, normally I would ask your business here but I just like you," the receptionist said and I nodded. "Thanks Ummm..........." "Call me Meera" the receptionist beamed, I smiled and thanked her and entered the elevator, I got to the fifth floor and looked around for room twelve, then I saw it the door was black with a blue plastic tag, I breathed in again, probably the second time I did that and knocked. "Come in," a deep voice said from inside and I stepped in, the office was so spacious and gave off a luxury vibe, a man sat on a black velvet swivel chair and he smiled when he saw me, "You must be Diana, welcome to Neonhaven commercials," he said and I returned his smile and we shook hands, his accent sounded weird but I decided to forget that. "So Miss Diana, do you know what your role is gonna be" he said. "No sir" "Alright, I want you to be my director and you start tomorrow," he said and my head went blank for a few minutes, he just freaking said "Director" I could never imagine myself in that position. "Thank you so much, Sir," I said and he smiled warmly and nodded. "You reminded me so much of my daughter," he said, his expression wistful, I didn't want to pry but I was curious, "Is she fine sir?" I asked him. "She is dead," he said clenching his fist, and my heart ached for the man. "Am so sorry sir" "It's alright dear, I should not have disturbed you with this, you may go home now" he smiled and I nodded and turned to go "Diana?" he called, and I turned to look at him, his blue eyes were bloodshot, "She was murdered. She was raped and then shot in the head" he rasped and outrage filled me "What?" I yelled, "Who did that" "If I tell you, you won't believe" he whispered, "Okay I will tell you, because I trust you, you sure you want to know who did this?" he asked I nodded, "Who?"

For four years, I traced the bullet scar on Chace’s chest, believing it was proof he would bleed to keep me safe. On our anniversary, he told me to wear white because "tonight changes everything." I walked into the gala thinking I was getting a ring. Instead, I stood frozen in the center of the ballroom, drowning in silk, watching him slide his mother's sapphire onto another woman's finger. Karyn Warren. The daughter of a rival family. When I begged him with my eyes to claim me, to save me from the public humiliation, he didn't flinch. He just leaned toward his Underboss, his voice amplified by the silence. "Karyn is for power. Ember is for pleasure. Don't confuse the assets." My heart didn't just break; it incinerated. He expected me to stay as his mistress, threatening to dig up my dead mother’s grave if I refused to play the obedient pet. He thought I was trapped. He thought I had nowhere to go because of my father’s massive gambling debts. He was wrong. With shaking hands, I pulled out my phone and texted the one name I was never supposed to use. Keith Mosley. The Don. The monster under Chace's bed. *I am invoking the Blood Oath. My father’s debt. I am ready to pay it.* His reply came three seconds later, buzzing against my palm like a warning. *The price is marriage. You belong to me. Yes or No?* I looked up at Chace, who was laughing with his new fiancée, thinking he owned me. I looked down and typed three letters. *Yes.*

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
