Jenna’s POV I have been trapped in this building for exactly five years now, he locked me up on my twenty-fifth birthday, and on my thirtieth birthday was the day I would escape, or so I thought. *** I lay on the queen-sized bed with nothing but different thoughts running through my head, how did I fall so low, how would I escape, would I spend the rest of my life here? I was once the proud and unreachable princess of the Hidden Valley. My brother who was twenty at that time went to the orphanage, took a liking to my intelligence, and adopted me when I was just nine years old. He was the leader of the Hidden Valley which everyone across the world feared. The hidden valley was like a mafia but my brother begged to defer, he always argued that the hidden valley was a more legal version of a mafia, but we all knew… By the age of 19, I was already a professional in medicine and anything computer related, I was so good to the extent that I was given the name ‘miracle doctor’ a
Chapter 2Jenna’s POVGroggily, I opened my eyes.Wait, I opened my eyes? I looked up at the white ceiling.Am I in heaven, or am I in the waiting room to hell? Hearing the continuous beeping sound, I looked around.I was in the freaking hospital; a drip was attached to my arm, and it was the heart monitor that was making noise. ‘I am alive’ I thought with excitement, That means someone must have rescued me. Is Rio dead? Am I free?But I became more confused when a woman who looked to be in her late fifties entered my room.“You finally tired of pretending, Jennifer, you freaking whore, just because you have not seen your husband for two years, you pretended to commit suicide. What? did you think that would make him pay attention to you again? Can you please just leave my son once and for all? Our Stirling family cannot support you any longer." She shouted in a shrewd manner, and I could only look at her in confusion. I was married, and I had a wicked mother-in-law. I clutched my he
Chapter 3In thirty minutes, I arrived at a bar, wearing a gown that accentuated my features.The bar was attached to a five-star hotel, and the customers of this bar were mainly people from the upper class.I got in easily with my charm and ordered the most drinks I could. And in no time, I gubbled them down. In my previous life, I could drink as much alcohol as I wanted without getting drunk, but this body. I did not even drink up to my usual amount, and I was already flat out drunk.I stood up from my chair in a bid to go home, but I was approached by one of the staff for payment. I brought out my card and swiped it. And the worst thing happened. The card was declined. That idiot should have sent my hundred million by now.“Swipe it again,” I drunkenly said, but it still brought out the same result.“That bastard,” I slurred.“I will pay for her.” A nice-looking gentleman said as he made a move to pay, and I just let him. Although he was handsome, I had no interest in him, Rio and
In no time I took my bath and dressed up, I needed to change my wardrobe. The original owner of my body had been deceived by Alex, her sister to be putting on shabby outfits, from my memory, she indeed did not look like the mrs of a rich family, luckily I was in control now, nobody could deceive me. I put on the best outfit I could find and decided to go shopping for some more later.I got into my car and zoomed off, in thirty minutes I arrived at my ‘father’ house.It was a villa in which they took pride in. My new family were never rich people, they had always been middle class until Adler’s grandfather took a liking to the original Jennifer and forced Adler to marry her, while stupid Jennifer married him for love. Ever since their marriage the Stirling family had always been helping Jennifers, they got them a new house, and a new business and as a result of this, Jennifers family’s ego went skyrocketed through the roof. For some reason they never liked Jennifer and always preferre
I arrived at Livvy’s Cafe. It was a warm, softly lit cafe filled with the aroma of freshly baked pastries and coffee. I closed my eyes and sighed in relief. This was the first time I was able to come to such an environment comfortably. My rebirth is certainly a blessing.I looked up when I heard a bubbly voice shouting my name.“Jenna, Jenna,” the voice called, and I looked up to see her dazzling red-headed lady; she was like a physical ray of joy.I waved back at her awkwardly before walking towards her, because in a way, I was meeting her for the first time, and at the same time I knew her.“Oh my gosh, Jenna, divorce looks so good on you” Amelia squealed, and I smirked.“Like I am so happy for you Jenna, you finally realized how right I was about Adler,” she sighed, toning down the excitement.“Waiter, you can bring the coffee now!” She shouted happily towards the waiter, who was attending to another table, and the waiter nodded with a smile. The coffee arrived in five minutes.“Yo
“I thought you said you are getting married to a multi-millionaire and will not act again?” she asked very happy about my downfall, and yes I remembered her. When the original Jennifer was still an actress she used to be the receptionist around here. “Awn honey you are still a receptionist, I thought you would have become a huge movie star by now,” I said with a sad tone but it did not match the smug look on my face. “Who are you here to see?” she asked, her smug smile morphing into a frown. “I am here to see Ramona” I replied. “Hmm your old manager?” she laughed out loud. “Don't tell me you want to become an actress again?” she asked as she laughed mockingly. “I am here to see Ramona” I repeated again with a do not mess with me look on my face and she calmed down. “Do you have an appointment?” she asked and Amelia who stood beside me immediately looked nervous, because we forgot to make an appointment. But that was not a problem for me with my hacking skills. “Of course,” I
“We need a doctor, a doctor!” another old man who stood beside the old man who had fainted shouted as I approached them.“I know medicine,” I said in a confident tone.“Jenna, what are you doing? You don't know medicine” Amelia tried whispering but I guess some people.“Young girl this is not a game, this is about somebody's life you can't just do anything that you want,” said a lady who looked like she was the same age as me, she had black hair, reading glasses on, and she was undeniably pretty.“You don't look a day older than me,” I said feeding her the same energy she used to shut me down.“Whatever” She rolled her eyes at me and turned towards the old man who was crying for help.“Don't mind her sir, I am actually a medical doctor, let me check how your boss is doing” she said in a confident tone as she crouched down to reach the unconscious old man’s level.One look at the man and I knew what was wrong with him, the old man had pronounced tremors, and shortness of breath, and he
“What?” I asked in confusion. “Mr. Lockwood, maybe you meant to say something else, I said, trying my best not to look affected by his aura. “I saw what you did there earlier. With the sick old man,” he started. “What does that have to do with us getting married, Mr. Lockwood?” I asked. “I did my investigations; that old man has Erezobia, but you, who has no record about learning medicine, were able to give him the emergency treatment so easily, something that would require a bunch of experts to do,” he said with his legs crossed, looking all mysterious, and it clicked. No wonder he suddenly gained interest in me; it was because of his grandmother's illness. “My grandmother also has Erezobia,” he said. “Hmm, really ?” I said, trying my best to look surprised, but I guess such simple acting cannot deceive Adrien. “You don't look that surprised, Miss Lyon,” he said with a serious look. “Wait, how do you know my name?” I asked; it had been barely twelve hours, and he alrea
