Chapter 1 CURSED MANOR OF ELDERMERE

Chapter 1: in the heart of Eldermere, a forgotten village surrounded by misty woods, stood an ancient manor-Blackthorn Hall. Legends whispered that its last owner, Lady Seraphina Blackthorn, had vanished a century ago, leaving behind a house frozen in time. No one who dared enter ever returned.

Lena Whitmore, a historian with a fascination for the arcane, arrived in Eldermere after finding an old letter sealed with Lady Seraphina's crest. It spoke of a secret hidden within the manor-one that could rewrite history. With only a lantern and her wits, Lena stepped past the rusted gates, feeling the air grow heavy with an unnatural stillness.

The moment she crossed the threshold, the manor came alive. Chandeliers flickered, dust vanished, and the scent of roses filled the air. It was as if time had rewound itself. But the real horror began when she saw them-the shadowy figures watching her from the grand staircase.

"Who dares disturb the Blackthorn legacy?" a voice echoed.

Lena turned to see a woman in a flowing black gown, eyes glowing silver. Lady Seraphina. But something was wrong-her reflection in the mirror showed a decayed corpse.

"You are trapped now," Seraphina whispered. "Unless you find the truth before the clock strikes midnight."

The walls shifted, revealing hidden doorways. Every corridor led to a different moment in time, showing glimpses of Seraphina's past-betrayal, love, and the forbidden magic that doomed her. As the clock ticked down, Lena pieced together the truth: Seraphina had cursed herself to protect a powerful relic, and only someone pure of heart could break the spell.

With seconds to spare, Lena found the relic-a silver locket. As she opened it, the house trembled, the curse lifted, and Seraphina let out a final, relieved sigh before vanishing into the wind.

At dawn, Lena stepped out of the manor, the locket warm in her palm. The village was no longer shrouded in mist. Eldermere had been freed. But as she glanced back, the manor had disappeared, leaving only whispers in the wind.

"Let's get married," Mia declares, her voice trembling despite her defiant gaze into Stefan's guarded brown eyes. She needs this, even if he seems untouchable. Stefan raises a skeptical brow. "And why would I do that?" His voice was low, like a warning, and it made her shiver even though she tried not to show it. "We both have one thing in common," Mia continues, her gaze unwavering. "Shitty fathers. They want to take what's ours and give it to who they think deserves it." A pointed pause hangs in the air. "The only difference between us is that you're an illegitimate child, and I'm not." Stefan studies her, the heiress in her designer armor, the fire in her eyes that matches the burn of his own rage. "That's your solution? A wedding band as a weapon?" He said ignoring the part where she just referred to him as an illegitimate child. "The only weapon they won't see coming." She steps closer, close enough for him to catch the scent of her perfume, gunpowder and jasmine. "Our fathers stole our birthrights. The sole reason they betrayed us. We join forces, create our own empire that'll bring down theirs." A beat of silence. Then, Stefan's mouth curves into something sharp. "One condition," he murmurs, closing the distance. "No divorces. No surrenders. If we're doing this, it's for life" "Deal" Mia said without missing a beat. Her father wants to destroy her life. She wouldn't give him the pleasure, she would destroy her life as she seems fit. ................ Two shattered heirs. One deadly vow. A marriage built on revenge. Mia Meyers was born to rule her father's empire (so she thought), until he named his bastard son heir instead. Stefan Sterling knows the sting of betrayal too. His father discarded him like trash. Now the rivals' disgraced children have a poisonous proposal: Marry for vengeance. Crush their fathers' legacies. Never speak of divorce. Whoever cracks first loses everything. Can these two rivals, united by their vengeful hearts, pull off a marriage of convenience to reclaim what they believe is rightfully theirs? Or will their fathers' animosity, and their own complicated pasts tear their fragile alliance apart?
