Chapter 1 The Call of the Gods

The sun had just begun to set over the small village of Ashwood, casting a warm orange glow over the thatched roofs and the bustling town square. The air was alive with the smells of freshly baked bread and roasting meats, and the sound of laughter and music drifted from the local tavern. In a small cottage on the outskirts of the village, a young woman named Aria sat cross-legged on a woven mat, her eyes closed in meditation. Her long, dark hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall of night, and her slender fingers were clasped together in her lap.

Aria was a seeker, a young woman with a hunger to understand the mysteries of the universe and her place within it. She had spent countless hours studying the ancient lore of her people, pouring over dusty tomes and seeking out wise sages who could teach her the secrets of the cosmos. As she sat in stillness, Aria began to feel a strange sensation, like a whisper in her mind. It was a gentle, insistent voice, calling to her from a place beyond the veil of the mundane world. "Aria, daughter of the earth," the voice whispered. "Aria, child of the stars. We have called you, and you have answered." Aria's eyes snapped open, and she felt a shiver run down her spine. She knew that she was being summoned, called to a great adventure that would take her to the farthest reaches of the unknown. With a sense of wonder and trepidation, Aria rose to her feet, her heart pounding with excitement. She walked to the window of her cottage and looked out at the stars, feeling an inexplicable connection to the celestial bodies that twinkled like diamonds in the night sky. As she stood there, lost in thought, Aria felt a presence behind her. She turned to see a figure cloaked in shadows, standing in the doorway of her cottage. "Who are you?" Aria asked, her voice barely above a whisper. The figure stepped forward, revealing a tall, imposing man with skin as black as coal and eyes that shone like the stars. "I am Kael," the man said, his voice low and resonant. "I have been sent to guide you on your journey." Aria felt a surge of fear mixed with excitement. She knew that she was being called to something greater than herself, something that would challenge her to her very limits. "What journey?" Aria asked, her voice firm. Kael smiled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "The journey of destiny," he said. "The journey that will take you to the farthest reaches of the unknown and back again." Aria felt a shiver run down her spine. She knew that she was being called to something great, something that would change her life forever. "I'm ready," Aria said, her voice firm. Kael nodded, his eyes shining with approval. "Then let us begin," he said. With that, Aria and Kael set out on their journey, leaving the village of Ashwood behind and embarking on a path that would take them to the very edges of the unknown. As they walked, the stars twinkled above them, guiding them on their way. Aria felt a sense of wonder and excitement, knowing that she was being called to something greater than herself. But as they journeyed deeper into the unknown, Aria began to realize that she was not alone. There were others out there, others who sought to claim the power of the gods for themselves. And Aria knew that she would have to confront them, to fight for her right to fulfill her destiny. The journey of a lifetime had begun, a journey that would take Aria to the very edges of the unknown and back again.

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.
