Paula had just lost her father and was forced to move in with her mother and step-father, but never in her wildest dreams, could she expect that her step-father would be no one other than the man she had a filthy past with. Now he wants her and Paula sees this as an opportunity to get revenge on her mother, who abandoned her and her father for dead, but is that truly the truth? What is this devastating truth or secret? Paula must never find out.

Chapter 1 Ghosts of The Past

Paula's POV

I stood at the front door, clutching my dad's old sweater. It still smelled like him, like home. Everywhere seemed so bright, but all I felt was gloom and dark. Today was the day we buried him and the worst part was, mother wasn't even there.

"Paula, are you ready?" my mom's voice drifted from behind me.

I turned to see her standing at the entrance, so she did manage to come afterwards. Also, she was looking so different; her hair was perfect, her clothes expensive. "I can't believe you came," I said, trying to keep my voice steady.

"Why wouldn't I"

"Because you left us when we needed you the most? You never cared or liked my father?"

"I had to do what was best for me," she said, crossing her arms. "You know how hard life can be."

"Hard? You abandoned me and Dad! You chose a new life over us," I shot back, anger bubbling inside me. I missed my dad so much. Why did he have to leave? Why couldn't it be this selfish and senseless woman!

She flinched, but then her expression hardened. "Look, I made mistakes. But I'm back now. Can we at least try to make this work?"

I shook my head. "No. I don't want anything to do with you. Not now, not ever."

Just then, a loud honk echoed outside. Mom sighed and looked at me with that annoyed expression she always had. "We have to go. Get in the car."

"I'm not going anywhere with you," I replied defiantly.

Mom stepped forward, frustration written on her face. "You think this is easy for me? This isn't just about you, Paula!"

"I don't care! Just leave me alone." My voice cracked as I thought about my dad lying in that cold, dark ground.

And then her guards stepped in. I didn't even notice them at first, but one of them grabbed my arm gently but firmly. "Miss Paula, your mother asked you to come with her."

"No!" I screamed, pulling away. "Let me go!"

But they were too strong. They bundled me toward the vehicle, and my protests turned into desperate cries. "You can't do this! I don't want to go!"

"Stop this nonsense, Paula! I'm doing this for your own good!" Mom shouted, her voice rising over my protests.

Finally, they pushed me into the backseat of the shiny black car. I sat there in fury and was as confused as hell, as Mom slid in beside me. I glared at her, pressing down the urge to go off on her. "You think you can just waltz back into my life after all these years?"

She looked out the window, silent for a moment. "I know I messed up, but you need to understand, I had no choice."

"Really? You had no choice but to leave us?" I snapped.

The car drove off, and the city blurred past. I stared out, feeling trapped and miserable. "What about Dad? You didn't care about him, did you?"

Her face twisted in a mix of anger and sadness. "It wasn't like that. He was sick, and I couldn't watch him suffer."

I couldn't believe her. "You could have stayed! You could have helped us through it!"

"Do you even hear yourself? I was drowning, Paula!" She turned to face me, and her eyes glistened with unshed tears. "I didn't want to go, but I had to survive."

"By leaving me and Dad behind?" I shot back, crossing my arms tightly.

"I thought about you every single day!" she insisted, exasperation coloring her voice.

"Yeah, sure." I rolled my eyes.

As we drove, I couldn't shake the feeling of resentment. How could she act like this was okay? I wanted to scream, but I kept quiet.

Eventually, we arrived at a grand house, bordered with expensive cars and tall gates. It looked like something out of a movie. I couldn't help but feel a pang of disgust. This was what Mom chose instead of us.

"Welcome to my new home," she said softly, almost proud.

"Your home?" I echoed, bitterness creeping into my voice. "This is the life you chose while Dad was dying?"

She narrowed her eyes at me, a flash of annoyance crossing her face. "It's not like that, Paula. You don't understand-"

"Understand what? That you sold out?" I scoffed, stepping out of the car.

Mom followed behind me, her heels clicking on the marble floor as we entered the house. I couldn't believe how lavish everything was. But the beauty of it all felt tainted. It disgusted me to my very own being.

Before I could say anything else, a man descended the staircase, and I froze. He was tall, wearing expensive clothes, and he had a smug look on his face.

"Who's this?" he asked, stopping at the bottom of the stairs and looking between Mom and me.

"This is my daughter, Paula," Mom said, her voice colder than before. "Paula, meet Andre, my husband."

My mind went blank for a moment. "Husband?" I repeated as my heart raced. "You're married to this man?" She got married to this very same bastard?!

"Of course," Mom replied, her tone sharp. "I needed to move on."

Andre stepped closer, a predatory glint in his eyes. "It's nice to finally meet you, Paula. Your mother has told me so much about you."

"Yeah, I bet she has," I replied bitterly as I took in his expression. So he was pretending not to know me. The day I found out what my mother really was-she never mentioned him. She only talked about her struggles.

"What do you mean by that?" Andre asked, eyebrows raised.

"Just that you seem to be quite a catch for her," I scoffed. "Did you marry her for the money, or did she sweeten the deal somehow?"

"Paula!" Mom yelled, her voice echoing off the walls.

"No, let her speak," Andre said, a smile creeping onto his face as though he enjoyed my outburst. "How about a little honesty?"

I couldn't stand the way he looked at me, like I was some entertainment. "I don't need your games," I shot back.

Mom frowned, obviously annoyed, and the news only only fueled my anger. "This is not right, Mom! You just expect me to be okay with all of this?"

"I never said that," she replied, frustration evident in her voice. "I just want you to understand things were complicated for me. I only want what's best for you."

"Best for me? You mean throwing me into your perfect little world?" I shouted. "What about my world? You know nothing about what I've been through while you were out living in luxury!"

Andre intervened, trying to calm the tension. "Paula, it's not as simple as you think. Your mother has had her struggles too."

"Struggles? You think a one-night stand was a struggle?" I felt the heat rising in me, and I pointed a finger at him. "You don't get to act like you know anything about my life."

"Enough!" Mom stormed between us, the weight of her anger palpable. "You need to start respecting my choices, Paula."

"So you want me to just let you walk all over me?" I shot back, feeling my heart pound in my chest. "You abandoned me! Don't come here pretending to care now just because you have a shiny new life."

Andre cleared his throat, stepping forward again. "I think you need time to adjust to all of this, Paula. You can't expect everything to change overnight."

"I don't want to adjust to anything," I said coldly. "I just want my dad back."

"Paula, it's going to take time," Mom insisted, pain flickering across her features. I could see she was affected, but I didn't care.

"Time? Time for what?" I yelled. "To forgive you for everything you did? For leaving me with a dying father?"

The silence that followed was thick, each of us grappling with our own wounds. The tears I felt at the back of my throat threatened to spill again, but I blinked them away. I didn't want to cry.

"Maybe this was a mistake," I finally murmured, my voice softening. But I was still furious. "Maybe I should have stayed where I was."

"Paula..." Mom started, but I turned away, wanting to escape the mess we had all created. Would I ever understand her? Could I forgive her?

I looked at Andre, then back at my mom, my heart heavy and I felt like I could commit murder in that moment. "I think I need some time alone. Please, both of you, stay the fuck away from me."

"You can't just–"

"Unless you can bring the parent I want, even if it's with replacing yourself with him, fuck off woman."

I was at my own engagement party at the Sterling estate when the world started tilting. Victoria Sterling, my future mother-in-law, smiled coldly as she watched me struggle with a cup of tea that had been drugged to ruin me. Before I could find my fiancé, Ryan, a waiter dragged me into the forbidden West Wing and locked me in a room with Julian Sterling, the family’s "fallen titan" who had been confined to a wheelchair for years. The door burst open to a frenzy of camera flashes and theatrical screams. Victoria framed me as a seductress caught in the act, and Ryan didn't even try to listen to my pleas, calling me "cheap leftovers" before walking away with his pregnant mistress. When I turned to my own family for help, my father signed a document severing our relationship for a five-million-dollar payout from Julian. They traded me like a commodity without a second thought. I didn't understand why my own parents were so eager to sell me, or how Ryan could look at me with such disgust after promising me forever. I was a sacrifice, a pawn used to protect the family's offshore accounts, and I couldn't fathom how every person I loved had a price tag for my destruction. With nowhere left to go, I married Julian in a bleak ceremony at City Hall. He slid a heavy diamond onto my finger and whispered, "We have a war to start." That night, inside his secret penthouse, I watched the paralyzed man stand up from his wheelchair and activate a screen filled with the Sterling family's darkest secrets. The execution had officially begun.

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.

The Scars Behind My Golden Dress

The Scars Behind My Golden Dress

I spent four hours preparing a five-course meal for our fifth anniversary. When Jackson finally walked into the penthouse an hour late, he didn't even look at the table. He just dropped a thick Manila envelope in front of me and told me he was done. He said his stepsister, Davida, was getting worse and needed "stability." I wasn't his wife; I was a placeholder, a temporary fix he used until the woman he actually loved was ready to take my place. Jackson didn't just want a divorce; he wanted to erase me. He called me a "proprietary asset," claiming that every design I had created to save his empire belonged to him. He froze my bank accounts, cut off my phone, and told me I’d be nothing without his name. Davida even called me from her hospital bed to flaunt the family heirloom ring Jackson claimed was lost, mocking me for being "baggage" that was finally being cleared out. I stood in our empty home, realizing I had spent five years being a martyr for a man who saw me as a transaction. I couldn't understand how he could be so blind to the monster he was protecting, or how he could discard me so coldly after I had given him everything. I grabbed my hidden sketchbook, shredded our wedding portrait, and walked out into the rain. I dialed a number I hadn't touched in years—a dangerous man known as The Surgeon who dealt in debts and shadows. I told him I was ready to pay his price. Jackson and Davida wanted to steal my identity, but I was about to show the world the literal scars they had left behind.
