Redemption In His Arms Chapter 1 Resurrection

Stephanie's P.O.V

I slowly opened my eyes, groggily taking in the unfamiliar surroundings. The first thing that hit me was the taste - bitter bile that coated my tongue like acid. I tried to swallow, but my throat was sore, and the Dry feeling on my tongue intensified.

As I struggled to sit up, a wave of dizziness washed over me, forcing me to lie down back. That's when I heard the beeping. A steady heartbeat that echoed through the length of my body reminded me that I was alive. I didn't feel that way though, I felt like I'd been run over by a truck.

My gaze wandered around the room, taking in the sterile white walls, the beeping machines, and the antiseptic smell that cloaked the entire space like a garment.

I was in a hospital room, and I was the patient.

My breaths came out shallow as I strained my brain trying to remember how I'd ended up here. But my memories were hazy, like trying to recall a fleeting dream. I remembered fragments - an angry phone call, and a crash- but the details were fuzzy.

As I lay there, trying to piece together the events of the previous night, I felt a searing pain in my skull. The constant throbbing made each attempt of thinking feel like a brutal punishment. I lifted my arms to get a feel of my head, but they weighed as heavy as leads. It hurts all over.

My breaths came out shallow as the realization of my surrounding dawned on me, and tiny tremors ran through my body as I struggled for more oxygen. I hear hurried footsteps come into the room at the sound of the beeping machines and soon a serene feeling washed over me.

Once again, I succumbed to the darkness

"Can you hear me, Miss, please follow the movement of my finger" came the gentle yet distant voice.

I open my eyes in an attempt to follow her instructions but shut them close almost immediately at the intensity of the light.

I try again once more but this time with more caution and a very welcoming smile greets me.

I tried to speak, but my voice was barely a whisper. I pointed to my throat,and the doctor nodded,handing me a glass of water. I gulped it down, enjoying the way the cool liquid soothed my overly parched throat.

"What am I doing here?" I ask in confusion.

"Hello miss......?" she trails off not seeming to know my name.

What was my name again...? And almost like a dazed whisper, the memory resurfaced.

"Miss Stephanie Malloy," I offer, noticing her expression become somber.

"Yes Miss Malloy, you were rushed in here 2 years ago as a transfer patient from the U.S. You seemed to have been involved in a severe car crash that rendered you almost lifeless an-"

"Hold up did you just say 2 years ago? And I'm not in Beverly Hills? What do you mean a car crash?" I bombarded, confusion lacing my tone

"I'm afraid so Miss. Our facility here in London was the best fit for your case as you suffered a critical head injury including a fractured skull and cerebral edema" she takes in a deep breath and continues

"The force of the impact might have caused damage to your brain axons causing your two-year-long coma Miss Malloy. You also had multiple body fractures that have healed over the years. It's a miracle that you are awake." She concludes with what I assume is reassurance.

I felt like I've been punched in the guts. Two years? Coma? The two words swirled around me, refusing to sink in.

I shook my head, desperately trying to block out her words. Closing my eyes, I zoned out from her as I try to recall any distant memory. I came up blank. I look at the doctor in disbelief

"That's impossible" I whispered

"There's no way I could have possibly missed out two whole years of my life. Please where is my father, or my fiancé, or just anyone I know?" I demanded, my mind slammed shut against her pronouncements.

She lets out a sigh and picks up the remote, switching the tv on. The time and date was clearly written on the news channel and a gasp left my mouth at the sight of the date displayed.

"Miss Malloy I know it's hard for you to take in, considering you just woke up from a coma but unfortunately all I've said is nothing short of the truth. I'm truly sorry for what happened but No one has come to claim you or visit you over the years. The only things we've received regarding you are anonymous phone calls and payments from an unknown person" she delivers gently

"But I don't understand, My father and fiancé have the means to search for me in any corner of the earth and you are saying no one has reached out for me?" I ask in a broken voice. She leans forwards, her gaze filled with sympathy

"Truly Miss, no one has. But I will try searching the internet for any relative with the name Malloy in the U.S and I'll relay to you" she offers and I give her a smile that hopefully showed my appreciation.

"I'll leave you alone now, please do get some rest"she says as the door closes behind her.

I let out a deep sigh suddenly feeling a wave of exhaustion wash over me. Alone in the quiet room with my deafening thoughts, various emotions floated around me - confusion,helplessness, a crippling fear of being forgotten. But beneath it all, a sharp question pricked at me: who am I now, if no one remembers me? Who was this "unknown person?". With these heavy thoughts, I couldn't mentally afford to be awake. So I gave into it, giving up the last fight of consciousness and surrendering to sleep.

Maybe when I wake up, this would all be just a nightmare.

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.

I was the titan of Wall Street until an indictment and an ankle monitor turned my penthouse into a gilded cage. To save face, I was forced into a marriage with Elza, a "mute" girl from the Schmidt family whom I treated as nothing more than a silent piece of furniture while my empire crumbled. The night I was poisoned at a high-society gala, a mysterious server in an oversized uniform saved my life with terrifying, clinical precision. They disappeared into the night, leaving me with a silver cufflink and a burning obsession to find the shadow who held my life in their hands. Back home, I took my frustration out on Elza, telling her she was "exhausting to look at" and "smelled like sickness" after her charity visits. Her own family treated her like a stray dog, trying to humiliate her at the next gala by dressing her in what they claimed was a cheap knockoff while whispering to the press that she was nothing but a high-end escort. "Stay out of my way," I would growl at her, never noticing the steel in her eyes. I sat at my table, watching my rivals' stocks plummet and wondering who "The Zero"—the legendary financial ghost—really was. I never suspected that the woman I ignored was the same one solving the equations that were currently burning Manhattan to the ground. The injustice peaked when Elza stood before the city's elite, not as a victim, but as a queen. She dropped over a hundred million dollars to buy back her family’s legacy, revealing a secret fortune that made my own empire look like pocket change. As I grabbed her wrist and saw the small red mole hidden beneath her watch, the truth hit me like a physical blow. The silent wife I had despised was the savior I had been hunting, and she was finally done playing the victim. "We have a lot to talk about, wife," I whispered, realizing I had been sleeping next to the most dangerous woman in the world.

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.
