Chapter 1 Price tag

"I learned that your business is having a downtime," Alex said, his sharp eyes piercing through Mr. Green, while he swirled the glass of wine in his hand.

"Yes! President Alexander Edwards" Mr Green responded, feeling tensed under the fierce gaze of Mr Alexander.

"That means you lack management skills for your business," Alex said, his gaze not shifting from Mr Green.

"Is not what you think Mr. Alexander, I'm pretty good at what I do. I was only attacked by fraudsters." Mr Green replied, hanging his head down to avoid Alexander's piercing gaze.

Mr. Green's business went bankrupt, after a very serious cyberattack from one of his rivals, a few years back, Mr. Green was doing well in business, so much so that, his incredible level of success made him the envy of so many people.

Soon enough, some persons in the same line of business with him, began to attack his business, threatening him to back down. But he refused and was still winning effortlessly against all odds.

When one of his rivals saw that their efforts to pull him down were futile, he launched a cyberattack against him, stealing most of his financial assets, and freezing the ones he couldn't take away.

Mr Green got weary by all the losses he had accumulated and started putting a lot of money into tracking the culprits behind his losses, but his efforts were no match for those criminals.

Things were very bad to the point that he ran into debt. His debtors connived together and shot down his business activities because he wasn't able to clear those debts.

"Hmm! What are your plans? Or do you just want to fold your hands, and watch your business close permanently?" Mr Edwards asked again, with a stern face, his voice icy.

" have exhausted all the options I have, I'm now looking at other businesses I can start with a small capital" Mr Green explained, his eyes darkened, a pang of grief engulfing him.

His heart tinged with pain, as he reminisced over how hard he had been trying to save his business, but all his efforts were useless.

He has tried collaborating with some business partners but none of them were willing to work with him.

He also talked to some distressed debt investors, to acquire the business, while he became a partner, they agreed, but all of a sudden, everybody backed out, saying they were no longer interested.

"You're such a simp! what kind of a man gives up a widely recognized business without a fight?" Alex spat out those words, with a hint of irritation in his eyes.

Now I'm convinced that you lack effective leadership and management skills for business. People like you shouldn't be doing business. Alex fumed, flames of anger sparking in his eyes.

Mr Green shivered at the outburst of his anger, wasn't this man supposed to help him? Did he call him out here, to remind him of his failure?

"Errm... you see, Mr. Alexander, I might not be as ruthless as you are, but I gave my best to that business", Mr Green said, furrowing his brow, a bead of sweat forming on his forehead.

" Save that for yourself, I want to invest in the business," Alex said, dropping his glass of wine off the table, and re-adjusted himself on the chair.

"What? Mr Green screamed, his jaw-dropping, please tell me this is not a joke President Alex" He said, becoming more impatient, his ears itchy and his heart leaping in joy.

Alex remained calm, scanning his demeanor with a cold face, and a burning gaze.

"Do I look like a joke to you? Do you think I left all the important things I was supposed to attend to, and came here just to have fun with you?" Alex replied.

" I'm sorry Mr Alexander." Mr Green apologized, rubbing his temple.

.Mr Alex grabbed his briefcase, opened it, brought out a document, and slammed it on the table. " Here! I will invest one billion dollars into your business." He said, staring at Mr Green, his face expressionless.

Mr Green gasped, his eyes widening in shock, he wanted to say something, but the words weren't coming out. "Mr Alex! A whole 1 billion dollars? For me?" He finally managed to say, staring at Alex in disbelief.

"Are you also deaf?" Alex asked, furrowing his brow.

" N...No! Mr Green stammered, snapping back to reality.

Earlier that day, when Mr. Alexander Edwards called him, and told him he wanted to have a meeting with him, he was puzzled, not knowing why such a prominent figure would want to have a meeting with him.

While he was on his way to meet Alex, his heart was pounding in his chest, worried that he was coming to face trouble, but here he was being offered the rare opportunity in the world, just when all his hope was crushed.

"Are you trying to acquire the business or do you just want to partner with me?" Mr Green asked, still trying to process what he just heard.

"I do not need it for your business, it is only going to be baggage, I already have enough business to run" Alex replied, his hand clutching the documents, placed on the table.

"Wao! I don't even know what to say, I'm just overwhelmed by your kindness, thank you so much." Mr Green said, grinning widely, his gaze fixed on Alex.

"You're welcome Mr Green, but there's a price tag for this, I believe you know that, nothing goes for nothing., " Alex said, his lips curling into a cold smile.

"A price tag? Alright, what could that be? I'm willing to do anything it takes, for my business to bounce back." Mr Green replied, feeling nervous.

Mr Alexander sneered, biting his lips in satisfaction, he responded. "your daughter Mia is the price... I want her as compensation for my generosity towards you."

Mr Green's countenance failed immediately, his jaw dropping in shock, and his eyes flickered. "My daughter! How did you know about Mia?"

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.

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.
