Chapter 1 The Start

Jessica Smith was a beautiful, white Caucasian lady with blonde hair.

She's 23 years old, and her hazel eyes, pink lips, slender neck, and lovely figure made her very attractive, often drawing unsolicited attention from men. Life, however, had dealt her a series of cruel blows.

First, she lost her parents at just five years old. She still had nightmares about that night-the night assassins burst into their home, beat her father mercilessly, and shot him in the head despite his desperate pleas.

"Please, not in front of my family-please!" he had begged.

They didn't listen.

Her mother was next. Jessica had watched from a hidden spot, exactly where her mother had instructed her to stay silent no matter what. That command saved her life.

Even now, nearly twenty years later, the image still haunted her dreams-especially the scarred cheek of the man who had seemed to be the leader, and the tattoo of an arrow etched on his neck.

When her grandmother came to get her, Jessica had tried to explain everything.

"You can't talk about it, sweetheart," the old woman had said gently. "You're just a child. Your testimony won't hold up, and if they find out you survived and can identify them..."

She didn't finish. She didn't need to.

Jessica's grandmother knew her son had been murdered for his wealth. When she discovered his company was suddenly being taken over by his business partners under shady claims of debt mismanagement, she didn't fight. She knew they were lying. Her son never borrowed money. If he didn't have enough to do something, he believed it simply wasn't time.

As for mismanagement?

"He was the most disciplined man I knew," she once told Jessica. "Those vultures just wanted his empire."

When her private investigations attracted scandal and threats, she stopped. Quietly, she pulled together her savings and poured them into Jessica's education.

Then came the call from the insurance company.

"Your son set up a trust fund for Jessica's education," the representative had said.

Her heart broke at the reminder of her son's murder, but she was proud. Proud that even in death, he had provided for his daughter.

They used the money wisely. And as the years passed, Jessica and her grandmother became less like grandmother and granddaughter, and more like sisters.

Jessica grew into a stunning young woman. She was the spitting image of her mother, though she had inherited her father's eyes.

Academically, she excelled. No surprise there. Both her parents had been brilliant-top of their fields.

But things changed after graduation.

Jessica couldn't find a job.

Then her grandmother collapsed one morning.

"No! No, please wake up!" she had cried, struggling to drag the older woman to the bed. Then she called the neighbor for help.

Four agonizing hours and a battery of tests later, the doctor delivered the news.

"She has kidney failure. She needs a transplant. Immediately. The treatment will cost around five hundred thousand dollars."

And that was the beginning of Jessica's desperation.

She took any job she could find-cleaning, babysitting, laundry, deliveries. But no matter how hard she worked, she couldn't even raise two hundred dollars. Every cent went into food and her grandmother's medication.

That evening, she stood by the roadside, staring at the crumpled notes she had earned that day.

"Not even two hundred," she murmured, her voice hollow.

She kept walking, eyes scanning the street ahead, until a bright sign caught her attention.

"Pizza courier/boy needed urgently."

Her eyes lit up. She didn't think twice before dashing across the road toward the pizza shop.

She paused at the entrance of the shop-Pizza Hut-took a deep breath, and whispered a silent prayer.

Then she stepped inside.

A woman stood behind the counter-likely the manager.

"Good day, ma'am," Jessica began nervously. "I saw the vacancy notice outside. You need a pizza delivery person, and I'd like to apply for the job."

The woman looked her over, her gaze cautious.

"Do you have a bike?" she asked.

Jessica leaned forward. "Yes ma, I do. It's parked just outside." She pointed through the glass at the pink bike.

The woman glanced at it and shrugged.

"Alright. The job is still open. But I'll be honest with you-it's demanding. Some customers live quite far. Are you sure you're up to it? And... I hope you don't plan on running off with our pizzas?"

Jessica's eyes widened. "No ma! I promise. I'm ready to work, and nothing will happen to your pizzas."

The woman nodded. "Okay then. You came at the right time. We have a pizza order that needs to be delivered now." She handed Jessica a slip of paper. "Get changed quickly and head to this address. Let's see what you can do."

Jessica looked down at the address. Her eyes widened.

This was a location in the highbrow part of the city-mansions, marble gates, and billionaires.

She chuckled to herself.

"Well, I may not be rich, but at least I get to see how the rich live," she whispered.

She remembered her grandmother once told her they used to be wealthy.

"I believe her," Jessica often said to herself. "I remember the teddy bears. A whole room full of them. And those bedtime kisses..."

She pushed the memories away and hurried to change into her new uniform. Her boss had directed her to the changing room. She dressed quickly and jumped onto her bike.

As she rode out, she sang softly, the wind brushing over her cheeks.

"Good thing I wore my helmet," she muttered. "Or my hair would be a disaster."

She arrived at the estate shortly after. The security man at the gate eyed her suspiciously.

"Who are you here to see?"

"I have a pizza delivery for Mr...." She showed him the slip.

He picked up a radio. "Sir, are you expecting a delivery?"

Pause.

"Yes? Alright."

He nodded. "He confirmed it. Go on in."

He handed back the slip. "That's house number eight. Straight down, then take a right."

She was about to drive off when he called again.

"Hey, wait! You didn't leave your number."

Jessica blinked.

"My number?"

He grinned. "Yeah. Just in case someone wants more than pizza next time."

Chapter ends the same here.

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.

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.
