"Will you marry me?" Jasmine walked to a man standing in the corridor. Her lips parted in a soft gasp as he turned to her. His dark blue eyes stared at her in a dark, ominous way, her eyes tailed his body down, and he was down to earth. "This would do just fine." She mumbled in fear, my eyes flickering. The man looked across the corridors, but the next man was far away from him. "Me?" He pointed at his nose. "Are you referring to me?" His brows narrowed followed by a chuckled after Jasmine nodded. "A stranger?" He scoffed, his warm breath hit her face. "You go around marrying strangers?" "It's a marriage of convenience. We will go our separate ways after that." The man tilted his head slightly, barely giving it a thought. "I'm Damon, and you're mine now." ~~~~ The Stones' family will sacrifice anything-even their daughters-for power. Jasmine knew this all too well after her sister's mysterious death in an arranged marriage. Now facing her own forced union, Jasmine made a deal: survive a year of marriage, and she'll be free. But when her groom left her at the altar, she was forced to marry a stranger, Damon, to escape a more sinister fate. Damon, still mourning his late wife, agreed to the marriage, only to discover a dark mark on Jasmine-the same one left by his family's killer. As secrets unraveled, they're drawn together by shared mysteries and the threat of an ancient curse. Caught between love and blood debts, Jasmine and Damon must confront deadly family legacies and the dark fate that binds them. Can they break free from the past, or will they be each other's downfall?

Chapter 1 The Start

"Will you marry me?"

Jasmine walked to a man standing in the corridor.

Her lips parted in a soft gasp as he turned to her.

His dark blue eyes stared at her in a dark, ominous way, her eyes tailed his body down, and he was down to earth.

"This would do just fine." She mumbled in fear, my eyes flickering.

The man looked across the corridors, but the next man was far away from him.

"Me?" He pointed at his nose. "Are you referring to me?"

His brows narrowed followed by a chuckled after Jasmine nodded.

"A stranger?" He scoffed, his warm breath hit her face. "You go around marrying strangers?"

"It's a marriage of convenience. We will go our separate ways after that."

The man tilted his head slightly, barely giving it a thought.

"I'm Damon, and you're mine now."

Two hours ago, Jasmine had dreamt of a beautiful and happy life with her fiancé, Stefan, but things changed.

The wedding guests fidgeted in their seats, waiting for the arrival of the groom. The door opened, but to their surprise, it was the bride. The groom was supposed to be at the altar before now.

Jasmine's heart palpitated, her greatest fear was becoming a reality right in front of her eyes and she couldn't control it.

"Where is Stefan?" Jasmine whispered to her friend, Cecilia, who was beside her as she forced a smile and walked up the aisle.

"I have no idea, he was supposed to be here."

The two ladies faces marred with worry.

"He would be here soon." Jasmine convinced herself as she stood at the altar alone, her eyes fixated at the door.

The door opened, caught the attention of all, and it was indeed Stefan who was obviously not dressed for the wedding.

"What are you doing, Stefan? You should be ready." She tried to whisper to him while staying calm as he walked up to her.

"Get ready for what? Marry you?" He burst out in a loud, hilarious laugh and looked at her. "Nobody will ever marry a person like you, besides, my work here is done."

A gasp rippled through the crowd, disappearing into the air as the guests turned to each other in disbelief.

Jasmine's heart was shattered into a million pieces as she tried to comprehend what was going on.

"Is this a prank?" A flicker of hope that it is beamed in her eyes.

Shaking his heart slightly, Stefan walked out of the church, leaving everyone amused except for Jasmine, who was heartbreak.

There, she made a choice. One that she would regret all her life.

Jasmine ran into the corridor and found a stranger to marry her.

"Do you, Damon Forbes, take Jasmine Stones as your lawfully wedded wife?" The pastor asked.

Jasmine's eyes found Damon's, scared of being betrayed by this stranger she was about to get married to, she prayed silently.

"Yes, I do."

A feeling of relief swept through Jasmine's body.

"Do you Jasmine Stones take Damon Forbes as your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do."

And that was it, their fate was sealed together for a year.

A few hours later, Jasmine and Damon were in the hotel Jasmine had booked earlier. While Jasmine was in the bathroom, Damon pondered on what Stefan meant by:

"....my work here is done."

Jasmine walked out of the bathroom, cladded in a towel and patting her body when my gaze locked with Damon. His piercing eyes made her uncomfortable, and she looked away.

"I know this is awkward, but you don't always have to give me that look." Her unwavering voice tried to find its balance as she turned her posterior to him.

"It's fine, I kind of needed it too." A smirk cut across his face.

She turned to look at him, her brows narrowed, trying to figure out what he meant, but he kept mute.

The next morning, Jasmine decided to out on the beach.

"I'll come with you." Damon uttered, getting out of bed and dressing up.

After dressing, he walked closer to her and grabbed her hand and made his way out of the room, but she kept staring at him.

"Should I be scared you're staring? Or you're just being creepy." He halted and turned to her with his cold face and a stern look that marred his face.

"Oh! Sorry about that, just....." Her gaze fell on their locked hands.

He shuddered, "I thought we were married, wouldn't it be nice to act it well?"

"Sure." She pouted her lips, not knowing what to do.

They got to the beach and found a space which they occupied. Damon sat on the beach while Jasmine took off her jacket, revealing her sexy hourglass shape in a bikini.

"Should I be scared you're staring? Or you're just being creepy." She teased as she jumped into the ocean.

He recognized it instantly but couldn't place it, that mark was one he would never forget.

He pulled out his phone from his pocket and was about to punch in some numbers when he noticed some weird looking people. They were dressed in suits but had their eyes on him and Jasmine.

His instincts kicked in immediately, and he walked to the Ocean's bank.

"Hey, sweetie. Why don't we take this fun somewhere special?" A grin contoured with a wink was all it took to convince her.

"Sure," She smiled and stepped out of the water.

Though she had no idea who this man might be, it was all she had always wanted – to be treated like a spoiled princess.

He grabbed her jacket and helped her wear it.

"Thanks."

He wrapped his arm around her, which made her weirdly uncomfortable.

"Hey, Damon. I know you're..... But this is going too far."

"What should be going far are your leg." He whined, keeping a straight face that made his piercing eyes even more scary.

Jasmine soon noticed some men walking behind them, fastening their pace as theirs and got scared.

"What's going on? Are we being followed?"

"No, I'm being followed because they know who I am." He briskly uttered, pushed her into an elevator and shut it.

He turned to the men with a sly evil grin.

"Why don't we deal with this like men?"

A slightly hefty man among them walked closer to him, placed him hands on his shoulders and looked into his eyes.

"Next time, stay away from such women......"

He walked past Damon with the other men and got in the elevator.

".... Take it as advice."

"That mark!" His jaw dropped.

I spent four hours preparing a five-course meal for our fifth anniversary. When Jackson finally walked into the penthouse an hour late, he didn't even look at the table. He just dropped a thick Manila envelope in front of me and told me he was done. He said his stepsister, Davida, was getting worse and needed "stability." I wasn't his wife; I was a placeholder, a temporary fix he used until the woman he actually loved was ready to take my place. Jackson didn't just want a divorce; he wanted to erase me. He called me a "proprietary asset," claiming that every design I had created to save his empire belonged to him. He froze my bank accounts, cut off my phone, and told me I’d be nothing without his name. Davida even called me from her hospital bed to flaunt the family heirloom ring Jackson claimed was lost, mocking me for being "baggage" that was finally being cleared out. I stood in our empty home, realizing I had spent five years being a martyr for a man who saw me as a transaction. I couldn't understand how he could be so blind to the monster he was protecting, or how he could discard me so coldly after I had given him everything. I grabbed my hidden sketchbook, shredded our wedding portrait, and walked out into the rain. I dialed a number I hadn't touched in years—a dangerous man known as The Surgeon who dealt in debts and shadows. I told him I was ready to pay his price. Jackson and Davida wanted to steal my identity, but I was about to show the world the literal scars they had left behind.

I sat in the gray, airless room of the New York State Department of Corrections, my knuckles white as the Warden delivered the news. "Parole denied." My father, Howard Sterling, had forged new evidence of financial crimes to keep me behind bars. He walked into the room, smelling of expensive cologne, and tossed a black folder onto the steel table. It was a marriage contract for Lucas Kensington, a billionaire currently lying in a vegetative state in the ICU. "Sign it. You walk out today." I laughed at the idea of being sold to a "corpse" until Howard slid a grainy photo toward me. It showed a toddler with a crescent-moon birthmark—the son Howard told me had died in an incubator five years ago. He smiled and told me the boy's safety depended entirely on my cooperation. I was thrust into the Kensington estate, where the family treated me like a "drowned rat." They dressed me in mothball-scented rags and mocked my status, unaware that I was monitoring their every move. I watched the cousin, Julian, openly waiting for Lucas to die to inherit the empire, while the doctors prepared to sign the death certificate. I didn't understand why my father would lie about my son’s death for years, or what kind of monsters would use a child as a bargaining chip. The injustice of it burned in my chest as I realized I was just a pawn in a game of old money and blood. As the monitors began to flatline and the family started to celebrate their inheritance, I locked the door and reached into the hem of my dress. I pulled out the sharpened silver wires I’d fashioned in the prison workshop. They thought they bought a submissive convict, but they actually invited "The Saint"—the world’s most dangerous underground surgeon—into their home. "Wake up, Lucas. You owe me a life." I wasn't there to be a bride; I was there to wake the dead and burn their empire to the ground.
