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.

I was the titan of Wall Street until an indictment and an ankle monitor turned my penthouse into a gilded cage. To save face, I was forced into a marriage with Elza, a "mute" girl from the Schmidt family whom I treated as nothing more than a silent piece of furniture while my empire crumbled. The night I was poisoned at a high-society gala, a mysterious server in an oversized uniform saved my life with terrifying, clinical precision. They disappeared into the night, leaving me with a silver cufflink and a burning obsession to find the shadow who held my life in their hands. Back home, I took my frustration out on Elza, telling her she was "exhausting to look at" and "smelled like sickness" after her charity visits. Her own family treated her like a stray dog, trying to humiliate her at the next gala by dressing her in what they claimed was a cheap knockoff while whispering to the press that she was nothing but a high-end escort. "Stay out of my way," I would growl at her, never noticing the steel in her eyes. I sat at my table, watching my rivals' stocks plummet and wondering who "The Zero"—the legendary financial ghost—really was. I never suspected that the woman I ignored was the same one solving the equations that were currently burning Manhattan to the ground. The injustice peaked when Elza stood before the city's elite, not as a victim, but as a queen. She dropped over a hundred million dollars to buy back her family’s legacy, revealing a secret fortune that made my own empire look like pocket change. As I grabbed her wrist and saw the small red mole hidden beneath her watch, the truth hit me like a physical blow. The silent wife I had despised was the savior I had been hunting, and she was finally done playing the victim. "We have a lot to talk about, wife," I whispered, realizing I had been sleeping next to the most dangerous woman in the world.

I spent three years playing the role of a submissive, small-town wife for Evertt Baker, trading my true identity for a quiet life in a Manhattan penthouse. I thought my devotion would be enough to build a real home, but I was just a placeholder in his grand design. The illusion shattered at 2 AM when Evertt walked in smelling of Chanel No. 5—the signature scent of his mistress, Adda. Without a word of apology, he dropped divorce papers on the table, demanding I sign them immediately so he could finally be with the woman he truly loved. He looked at me with pure disgust, flicking a five-million-dollar check toward me as if he were paying off an incompetent employee. He told me it was more money than anyone from my "trailer park" background would ever see and ordered me to hurry because Adda was waiting in the car downstairs. He didn't care that I had spent years nursing him through illness and tolerating his family’s insults; he only cared about his own convenience. The sheer arrogance of his payout and the blatant disrespect of bringing his mistress to our home was the final blow. I realized that the man I loved never actually saw me, only the submissive shadow I had forced myself to become. I signed the papers with a fluid scrawl he didn't bother to check, then I fed his millions into the office shredder. I pulled a hidden, encrypted device from a kitchen drawer and dialed a number I hadn't called in three years. "Brother," I said, my voice finally steady. "Come get me. The game is over." Evertt thought he was discarding a penniless nobody, but he was about to find out that he had just declared war on the Stafford empire.
