Chapter 1

Victoria's POV

Growing up, i always thought that one must always work hard in order to prove their worth and so i did, i spent countless nights without sleeping trying to build a reputation for myself without anyone's help,but in this society i live in that doesn't count for anything,as long as you are a woman you will always be belittled.

Well my name is Victoria Smith and I'm 25 of age .My father( Edward smith)is a business tycoon owning the largest corporate company rated in the top 10 companies in the world, well my mom ( Evelina Smith)is a house wife,well more like a trophy wife. I also have 3 younger brothers which means i am the only girl in the family.

Most people would think that i was spoon fed and pampered to my heart's content,little did they know that i never used my father's connections for my benefit,but i can't say the same for my brothers. Yes i am a COO in the company but i earned the position through my hard work.

Victoria's POV

I was jolted awake by my alarm as usual at 5 am ,gosh!!!! i have never been a morning person but i finally managed to push myself out of the bed. Every morning i would stand in front of a mirror and mutter some positive words to keep myself going throughout the day and today was no exception.

It was around 6:45 just after preparing for for work and i decided to go downstairs for breakfast. Everyone was already there. "Morning fam" i greeted as usual but they just stared at me as if they had something to say "gosh this better not ruin my day" i mentally pleaded.

"Ahem, we have found a suitable candidate that is worthy of you, the negotiations will take place next week" my my dad cleared his throat before dropping a bombshell on me, i stared at them as if they have gone mad. Deep down i wished that one of my brothers would say its a prank as usual, i looked them in the eyes one by one and i didn't see any hint of amusement on their faces,they all had poker faces that's when i realized something,they knew...they knew that our parents were trying to set me up for a marriage with a stranger.

I always knew that my father believed that a woman was meant to stay at home,bear children and take care of her husband like exactly what my mother is doing but i did not expect this at all.

I looked at my mother to see if she also supported this and she looked down in shame, just as i thought i snickered and stormed out of the house and immediately drove off. I didn't know where to go ,i mean i could always go to work but i could not let my colleagues see me like this,i was in no state to get any work done.

So i called that one person who would always have my best interests at heart, Maryse.We have been best friends since kindergarten because our families have been partners for ages,although we do not always keep in touch due to our busy schedules i know we've got each other.

"To what do i owe this pleasant surprise?",i heard her loud voice on the other side,well you can always count on Maryse to be bubbly. "Calm down will you?, i think i need to talk to someone before i lose my mind" i told her and she went silent for a moment probably wondering what could be the matter.

"Sure babe,Maryse at your service. Same place?" She asked. " Sure i will meet you there in 30 minutes" i immediately headed there,slightly relieved that atleast someone was willing to hear me.

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don’t have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall—the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I’m not just leaving him; I’m taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood—the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.
