WORLD APART Chapter 1 SURPRISE PACKAGE

"Ding! Ding!!" The bell rang signifying leisure period. Richard Edward hissed as he stretched his perplexed body. He looked at the wall clock and it was eleven o'clock.

"I still have some files to tackle,so I guess I'll ignore today's leisure" He said to himself while yawning tiredly staring at the piles of files resting on his table. His head were hurting really bad but he had to round up the files.

Richard Edward,a middle class citizen of New York. He had two kids, Ixora Edward his only daughter been his first child and Jerry Edward his only son. His wife Aurora is a business woman who owns a jewelry store. Their family was one of the most envied family, people wished to have such a happy family. Their kids were well trained with good moral behavior which other parents wished for their own children.

Richard removed his glasses and rubbed his eyes before cracking his fingers.

"Today has been such a hectic day" He mumbled replacing a file with another one.

There was a knock at the door.

"Come in" he ordered and the door opened. His co-worker Sasha Zic came in. She held a cup of coffee.

"Good day Richard" She said dropping it on the table.

He only nodded his head in response with his eyes still glued to his system. She placed her hands on the table pushing her chest down,freely exposing her flawless cleaves.

"Uhm... aren't you going out to have lunch, it's leisure period" She remained him whining her mouth.

"No I still have some files to tackle" He replied raising up his head and took a sip from the coffee.

"I can help you" She stuttered.

"I never asked for your help or did I?" He asked ceasing his eyebrows. "Please leave my office" He ordered and she rolled her eyes seductively.

"Okay then,but don't hesitate to call me Incase you need my assistance" She stood upright and fling her hair backwards seductively before turning around slowly, cat walking to the door. She turned around to see Richard staring at her disgustingly, she opened the door,winked at him before leaving.

"Jezebel!" He scoffed and continued his work.

Sasha was noting but a pain in his neck,he had never liked her but she keeps forcing her self on him.

Edward's Estate

Ixora came out of her room and walked down the stairs to the sitting room. She looked at her wrist watch,it was past twelve. She wore her pink sneakers before leaving the house.

She went to the garage where she packed her motorcycle,she mounted on it, wore her helmet and ignited the engine and zoomed out of the estate. She was going to pick her little brother from school.

Ixora was seventeen years old and was done with high school while preparing to get an admission into college.

She was a tall, slender girl with long dark hairs which flowed on her flawless skin. She was popular in her estate because of her special skills which she possessed for driving motorcycle. Right from her tender age,she was a lover of motorcycles and her dad got her one when she was in final year in highschool.

She went through driving skills and she learned really fast than expected.

She halted the motorcycle in front of her brother's school. She came down and went inside the school premises, her brother sighted her first.

"Big sis!!" Jerry screamed running towards her and embraced firmly.

"J-boy how was school today?" She asked ruffling his hair.

"School was perfect but I've been longing to go home,I can't wait to play my PS 4" He gushed happily.

"Jerry you and games are similar to five and six. Hope no teacher messed up with my J-boy today" Ixora teased him.

"Not at all"

They got outside and went to an ice cream stand. She bought two cones of vanilla ice cream and they sat under a shade to lick it.

Jakeson's Estate

Silver was still curled up in her bed, sleeping whole fully. Her room was in total mess. Clothes,bags, sneakers, hair pins and so on littered on the floor.

Her mother came into the room and halted. She grazed around the messy room and back to silver. She went closer to her and tapped her.

"Silver are you still on bed like seriously?" Eve her mother wondered.

Silver rolled noisily on the bed and continued sleeping.

"Silver would you get your lazy a$$ out from bed right now" Eve ordered but she pretended not to hear.

Eve left the room and returned with a broom,she was approaching towards silver when she jumped out of bed and landed on the floor.

"Mom!!"

"Come on get back to sleep. What's wrong with you, can't you see the time and you're still on bed for what?" She howled flinging the broom.

"Mom please I need to take some nap to relax my brain,just let me be" She nagged and climbed her bed.

"Why are you so ungrateful,why don't you want to help yourself at least look for a job rather than staying at home sleeping from twilight till dawn. For God's sake you are a full grown girl, I and your dad has tried our best by sending you to college but you proudly rejected the offer simply because you want to attend the most expensive school in New York which you know I and your dad can afford it. Silver change you're hurting me" Eve lamented painfully as tears escaped her eyes. Silver began feeling guilty.

"Mom I'm sorry" She apologized but her mom left the room. She sat down on her bed crying seriously.

She wasn't even proud of her own self and it pierced her heart so much. Her phone beeped beside her,she picked it up and it was a Mail. She opened it and she couldn't believe her eyes. It read:

"CONGRATULATIONS,YOU PASSED THE SCHOLARSHIP EXAMINATION, AUTOMATICALLY YOU'RE A QUALIFIED STUDENT OF CROWNS COLLEGE"

"OMG I can't believe this!!" She jumped out of bed.

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

The Placeholder Bride's Secret Billionaire Revenge

5.0

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran’s "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father’s multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city’s most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins—the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street—and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.
