Chapter 1 Unexpected Events

Serena

The evening was cool and calm. I arched my head to the side, enjoying the soft chirps of the birds from outside. My brows were furrowed as I focused intently on the portrait I was sketching, the charming features of a man slowly coming into shape.

Derek. My heart swelled with love as I stared at my nearly finished portrait. It had taken me almost a week to get it done, and I wanted to present it to him as a gift to mark our second anniversary. My eyes clouded over as I recalled his words from yesterday.

"Will you be my mate, Serena?" he'd asked, his warm eyes staring into mine, seeing my soul. I hadn't hesitated, not even a bit. A smile tugged at my lips. Of course, I said yes.

Derek and I had courted for two years now, and even then, it hadn't been easy. I was born into a strong family, and my father was the Alpha. Contrary to what people thought, I was unloved and mistreated at home. Father had remarried, and my new stepmom, Susan, made it clear that she didn't like me.

It didn't help that father was always busy with pack affairs and so Susan was in charge at home. 'If only I could change,' I thought, sighing deeply, my hands still moved across the sketch pad. I'd been born wolfless, I couldn't change into wolf form. It was a thing of a shame to our family, little wonder father treated me like I was air, instead he treated Susan's children better.

Derek was the only person who treated me nicely and loved me, I'd planned to channel my emotions into painting this portrait, I hoped he'd see it and see the love I had for him. He meant everything to me.

No really, Derek literally meant the world to me, I had never loved anyone this much in my entire life, and considering how much my pack neglected wolfless Omegas like me, Derek was the only person in the world who cared for me too.

I was so engrossed in my sketching that I didn't notice someone had walked in until a shadow loomed over me. My heart jolted and I glanced up, meeting Susan's cold eyes.

"Mo–mother," I stammered, rising to my feet quickly and I closed the sketch pad. "I didn't see you come in," my voice shook and I lowered my head as I spoke, not daring to meet her eyes.

"Hmph!" Susan didn't say a word and she scoffed lightly, her cold eyes raking over me before slowly settling on the sketch pad. "You seem to have forgotten that you're to present yourself at the dinner party later," her eyes filled with contempt. "Not staying here fiddling with rubbish," she sneered.

"You've been the source of shame to this family and you know it," Susan's eyes bored into mine. Her words were threatening, "You'd best be on your best behavior if you make any mistakes..." she trailed off, leaving her barely concealed threat hanging in the air.

I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat and nodded quickly, not daring to say anything. Susan was always concerned about our family's image.

It annoyed her immensely that I was my father's first daughter, despite my special case of not being able to turn I had to attend and represent my father as the daughter of the Alpha. If Susan had her way, my step-siblings would take charge, not like they weren't trying to already.

"I..." I stammered and my cheeks reddened. "I'll get ready right away," I jumped to my feet, closing my sketch pad quickly.

"I want you to get ready in time or else," Susan snapped, her eyes shooting fire as she glared at me. The air became heavy from the weight of her words, and my breath hitched. I stared at her as she turned and walked away without another word.

I heaved a sigh of relief watching her leave and I hurriedly got to my feet. The party was being thrown by one of our pack's wealthiest noblemen, so as the eldest daughter of the Alpha, I couldn't afford to miss it at all.

Thankfully, by the time I got dressed and arrived at the party, I realized that I had made it just in time.

The party was bustling when I arrived, with finely dressed people moving about the place. I couldn't help but sigh as I mentally thought about how I'd recreate such a scene at my wedding with Derek.

I could feel cold stares coming my way but I ignored them, already accustomed to such looks. I'd arrived minutes ago but aside from being announced at the door, no one had come up to welcome me. No one wanted to associate with the castaway daughter of the Alpha.

I sighed at the thought but I forced a smile and raised my head high. I couldn't let them see me cower, Derek had always reminded me of that. I still couldn't believe he wanted to marry me, an unwanted Omega no one else wanted.

Derek wants to marry me! That was all that mattered to me.

I took a deep breath before I walked inside, my eyes searching through the crowd for Derek, I hoped he'd be there. I also wished that Cynthia was here with me, Cynthia was my best friend. My only friend. I'd planned to come with her but she'd texted she was busy with something.

I'd just walked in when I heard hushed whispers from around me.

"Oh my gosh look! Aren't they the cutest couple ever? I heard someone exclaim as they stared towards the dance floor where I noticed a small crowd had already gathered.

"Damn! I wish a man would look at me with as much love as he looks at her." Another guest sighed.

Who could that be? I wondered, walking forward as I craned my neck curiously to see who it was that'd gotten everyone agitated.

But the minute I got there, my feet halted in their tracks before my brain could even process the sight in front of me. "What!" the blood drained from my face as I stared in shock.

A couple were truly dancing very intimately on the dance floor, the man's hands were wrapped possessively around her as they moved slowly to the music. "How..." my breath caught in my throat. "How can this be?" I felt as if my legs were about to give way beneath me, my eyes were glued to the man.

It was Derek, my Derek! He held the woman whose face I couldn't see because it was tucked into his neck. He was smiling and peppering loving kisses on her bare shoulders.

I felt as If a knife was slowly twisting in my gut as I watched, shocked to my bones.

I stared at him, unable to move. Unable to even breathe as my heart and my dreams shattered into a million pieces in just one second! How could he? My eyes blurred with tears, and I felt my heart give way within me.

This couldn't be happening, except, it was.

The Billionaire's Cold And Bitter Betrayal

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.

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.

I was four months pregnant, weighing over two hundred pounds, and my heart was failing from experimental treatments forced on me as a child. My doctor looked at me with clinical detachment and told me I was in a death sentence: if I kept the baby, I would die, and if I tried to remove it, I would die. Desperate for a lifeline, I called my father, Francis Acosta, to tell him I was sick and pregnant. I expected a father's love, but all I got was a cold, sharp blade of a voice. "Then do it quietly," he said. "Don't embarrass Candi. Her debutante ball is coming up." He didn't just reject me; he erased me. My trust fund was frozen, and I was told I was no longer an Acosta. My fiancé, Auston, had already discarded me, calling me a "bloated whale" while he looked for a thinner, wealthier replacement. I left New York on a Greyhound bus, weeping into a bag of chips, a broken woman the world considered a mistake. I couldn't understand how my own father could tell me to die "quietly" just to save face for a party. I didn't know why I had been a lab rat for my family’s pharmaceutical ambitions, or how they could sleep at night while I was left to rot in the gray drizzle of the city. Five years later, the doors of JFK International Airport slid open. I stepped onto the marble floor in red-soled stilettos, my body lean, lethal, and carved from years of blood and sweat. I wasn't the "whale" anymore; I was a ghost coming back to haunt them. With my daughter by my side and a medical reputation that terrified the global elite, I was ready to dismantle the Acosta empire piece by piece. "Tell Francis to wash his neck," I whispered to the skyline. "I'm home."
