"I'll go," Mia spoke. She had been living rough in this mansion. How hard could it be to live in another mansion full of danger? Besides, she knew this would save her father's life. She doesn't want to be selfish like her step-sisters. She wanted to show how she love her father. Even if it will cost her life.

Chapter 1 One

"I'll go," Mia spoke.

She had been living rough in this mansion. How hard could it be to live in another mansion full of danger? Besides, she knew this would save her father's life. She doesn't want to be selfish like her step-sisters. She wanted to show how she love her father. Even if it will cost her life.

...

"Sweety," her father spoke. He was standing beside Mia's door watching her pack her clothes.

Mia looked at his father and smiled. "Dad," she said. Her father went near her and sat on the couch beside her bed. "I'm sorry," he said. "I know you shouldn't be in this situation. I promised your mother to protect you but," he paused.

Mia stopped packing and sat beside her father. "Dad, did you love mom?" she suddenly asked. Before she leaves, at least she knows if his father ever loved her mother. It's important to her.

"She's the sweetest. I loved everything about her," her father answered while looking back at the times when he was still with her mother.

Mia smiled and went back to packing her clothes. "I love you, dad. I hope I can still return to you," she sadly said.

Hearing that sad voice her father stood up, kissed her forehead, and embraced her. "I love you too sweety. Please come back anytime," he said after they parted. "Lina is coming with you. I don't want you to have a hard time at the new mansion," he said about the personal maid assigned to Mia.

Lina has been with her since she came to the de la Costa mansion. They have the same age that made them close to each other. She has been a personal maid and a best friend for her. "Thank you, dad," she replied.

...

Mia is done packing so she sat at her vanity table and looked at her reflection. Her long black hair was tied up while some are down covering her long eyelashes. She looked for the lip gloss that maintained her pinkish lips and applied it on. She then heard a knock from her bedroom door.

"Miss, have you packed everything already?" Lina asked.

"Yes, thank you for coming with me," she said as she looked at Lina.

"Wherever you go, I'll go. I'm your maid you know you can't leave without me," she jokingly said that made the both of them giggle.

Lina then carried Mia's luggage and put it in the van. The family driver will accompany them to Jake's mansion.

As they travel Mia noticed that the path has no sign of houses. It's like they have left the city. Where is Jake's mansion?

"Lina, are we out of town?" she asked.

"You didn't know miss? Your spouse lives in the mountain. Rumors say he prefers living there because he can easily kill and bury the people he wanted to kill in that place. They say that his mansion is murky and terrible. Ahhhh thinking about it makes me scared. What will happen to us now?" the maid continuously explained. These are just rumors but what if they are all true?

Mia kept quiet and continued her nap.

They were in the middle of the forest when the driver stopped. Mia opened the window and looked out. There they saw a bunch of men in a leather black jacket with their shades on, riding in their motorcycles. They are parked in line blocking their way.

'Ahhh, good old times,' she smirked as she was reminded of how she led her gang a long time ago.

The frontman removed his shades revealing his gorgeous face. He was standing out from the men at the back. He went down from his motorcycle and was about to go near the van when a ton of bullets ambushed them. The men quickly hid behind their motorcycles and held their guns, prepared to shoot their enemies.

"Miss! get out from the van, hide behind the trees it's not safe for you two here. We are in the middle of a war. Quick!" their driver exclaimed.

Lina promptly grabbed Mia's arm and lead her to a big tree where no one could notice. They both hid there and watched the two parties exchange bullets without stopping.

It has been a long time but both sides are still not showing signs to surrender. Mia and Lina are still hiding behind the tree waiting for the fight to stop.

Suddenly, a man on a red big motorbike appeared out of nowhere. He passed the tree where the two ladies are hiding. His and Mia's eyes met. Is he the demon king? She asked herself. The man was wearing a mask so she can't see his face. She continued to watch the man as he gets down from his bike. And pulls his gun from his pocket. His actions are very sharp and brisk. It's like she's watching a live-action film with the main lead on fire.

This man was quick and shot all their foes where in no time they were all down. "Woooah!" She heard the men scream with joy. They won the fight!

After their victory yell, they hurriedly drove their motorcycles leaving the two ladies still hiding in the big tree.

When they think no one is around already except the dead bodies lying on the ground they went out. There they saw their driver still in the van but has a shot on the forehead. Lina hid behind her back because of fright. Blood is all around the place but she didn't cringe. She had seen more than this when she was still fighting.

"What should we do now miss? Should we go back and tell your father about what happened?" Lina asked.

Mia knew her stepmother and step-sisters will make fun of what happened to them. And she's determined to make the man who left them in the middle of the forest pay for what he did. She is unwilling to go back. "We'll follow them," she seriously stated.

"What?! But miss it's dangerous. You saw how they brutally killed these men. What if they do that to us too," her maid protested.

She looked at her scared maid and looked in the direction where the men went. "You can go back if you're scared. I'm getting my revenge," she said and started walking towards the motorcycles' trails.

"No, I'm coming with you miss. Wait for me," Lina said and followed Mia.

The Billionaire's Medicine: His Silent Obsession

My stepmother sold me like a piece of inventory to a man known for breaking people just to plug the financial crater my father left behind. I was delivered to the Morton estate in the middle of a freezing storm, stripped of my phone, and told that if I didn't make myself useful, my senile grandfather would be evicted from his care facility by noon. The master of the house, Adonis Morton IV, was a monster living in a silent mausoleum, driven to the brink of madness by a sensory condition that turned every sound into a physical assault. When I was forced into his suite to serve him, he didn't see a human being; he saw a source of agony. In a fit of animalistic rage, he pinned me to the wall and nearly strangled me to death just for the sound of a shattering teacup. I only survived by using my grandfather’s secret herbal blends and pressure-point therapy to force his overactive nervous system into a drugged sleep. But saving him was my greatest mistake. Instead of letting me go, Adonis moved me into a guest suite connected to his own bedroom by a hidden door. He didn't just want me as a servant; he needed me as a human white-noise machine to drown out the demons in his head. The nightmare deepened when he took the promissory note that defined my freedom and tore it into confetti. By destroying the debt, he destroyed my exit strategy. He replaced my maid’s uniform with a silver silk dress that clung to my skin but did nothing to hide the dark, ugly bruises his fingers had left on my neck. He branded me as his "primary care associate," a title that was nothing more than a gilded cage. I felt a sickening sense of injustice as he forced me to sign a contract that banned me from contacting other men and required me to sleep wherever he slept. He looked at me with a possessive heat, calling me his "medication" rather than a woman. My family had sold my body, but Adonis Morton was intent on owning my very presence, using my grandfather’s medical bills as a leash to keep me within twenty feet of him at all times. Standing in a neglected greenhouse with mud staining my expensive silk, I realized I was no longer a victim waiting for rescue. If I was going to be his medication, I would learn how to be his cure—or his undoing. I began clearing the weeds with a cold, calculated frenzy, determined to turn this prison into my laboratory. He thinks he has trapped a helpless girl, but I am going to pry open the cracks in his stone walls until his entire world comes crashing down.

Marrying My Runaway Groom's Powerful Father

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.
