Heiress Danielle Dawson has it all. A mansion, fleet of exotic cars, a live-in chef, housekeepers, a fortune that can feed nations and a dad that indulges her every wish. All these, and she is still empty. When her father, greedy for more power and wealth, arranges her marriage to the powerful Valentino empire's heir, Danielle, a believer in love marriages, fights it at first but later gives in and decides to let destiny take it's course; but being betrothed to Adrian Valentino is not the bed of roses she is used to. With great power comes great responsibility and millions of enemies after your downfall. Adrian need not fret as his betrothed is more than ready to fight his battles and slay his demons; but how can you love someone who doesn't believe in the emotion, and how do you save someone that doesn't want to be saved? That too when you begin to discover your own demons?

CHAPTER ONE.

DANIELLE'S P.O.V The waves, unlike the turmoil in my being, were calm and peaceful. They slowly rolled and crashed; their white caps cresting over and plunging back into the water, displaying the beauty of the sea from the shoreline. I buried my bare feet deeper into the sand on the shoreline which was wet from the sea water. I took in a deep breath of the fresh salty air and sighed. As I had hoped, walking along the beach had successfully cleared my head, calmed my nerves- somewhat, and reduced the tension which I still felt. After what I assumed were hours of enjoying the serenity of the beach, I decided to return to my hotel room. In my right hand were my sandals and my left hand held on to the shawl draped across my shoulders. The receptionist greeted me with a smile as I made my way into the lobby and I returned the gesture. On nearing the elevator, I realized its doors were closing and quickly wedged a foot between the doors to prevent it from completely getting shut....

CHAPTER TWO.
DANIELLE'S P.O.V"Wake up"I hear the voice before I feel the tapping. Who exactly could be disturbing me so early in the morning?"Wake up!"This time the tapping is more painful and hurried.I groan in pain as I sit up on the bed.WHAT do they say about alcohol?It is said to induce inhibition loss, enhance poor decision making, and encourage impulsiveness. So, why do we keep taking alcohol?The answer is very simple actually. We do so because we always want what is bad for us.I question my decision to ingest as much alcohol as I had last night. My regret deepens further as the rays of light, which escape from the shielding of the curtains, fall on my face, causing my already banging head to split further apart in pain. Usually, the feel of the early morning sun rays on my face is comforting but this morning, they instead remind me of the reasons why the intake of spirits should be declared illegal.I apply pressure on both sides of my head , trying to reduce the pain and I utter

CHAPTER THREE.
DANIELLE'S P.O.V 30, 31, 32, 33,... I count from the car window as the trees pass by in a blur. It always baffles me, the way the trees seem to be the ones moving instead of the car. I'm no physicist so I'll register it as one of the numerous wonders of the world; although the internet records only seven wonders, I believe the world has more mind-blowing and inexplicable events and sites that should also be considered wonders of the world. I'm sited in the back seat of my dad's SUV. He sits across from me, typing away on his tablet while making and receiving seemingly endless phone calls, as usual. Work, work, work; all my dad ever does is work. It's so frustrating, sometimes I want to scream in his face; I want to tell him to just take a goddamned break, but he'll just remind me that he works so exhaustively because he wants to secure the funding of my baby girl lifestyle. I believe there is a thin line between the doting and loving man that is my father and

CHAPTER FOUR.
DANIELLE'S P.O.V"You've got to be kidding me!"Layla London, one of my best friends stares at me in surprise, her eyes bulging out of their sockets. My other two best friends, Janelle Wang, and Sofia Vergara mirror her expression."So, you're telling us that you're getting married to your one night stand?" Janelle asks."That about summarizes it, yes" I reply.The three of them keep staring at me in surprise. The news of my impending engagement and marriage, alone, must be hard for them to comprehend, talk less of the fact that I had a one night stand with my husband to be. After dad broke the dreadful news of his illness to me, I began to understand why he was so hard on me. Dad is usually indulgent and does whatever I want him to and I, in return, do whatever he asks of me, but the topic of my marriage had caused a rift between us.I started to see why he would not budge and why he was insistent on marrying me off to a rich family. I went to the dining room and pretended to be th

CHAPTER FIVE.
DANIELLE'S P.O.V"Good evening, everyone" Alfredo Valentino's powerful voice carries in the dimly lit room.Everyone turns towards the podium where Alfredo and my dad stand, microphones and champagne flutes occupying their hands."We thank every one of you for honoring our invite to join us in celebrating the partnership of our companies" dad says."They're about to announce your engagement" Sofia gushes excitedly.I glance across the room at Adrian who stands with Umar, his hands in his pockets as usual. As if sensing my gaze, he looks at me and our eyes lock. I smirk, subtly wave my left hand and watch in smug satisfaction as his facial muscles strain into a scowl."We appreciate that you took time out of your schedules to felicitate with us and we would like to use this opportunity to announce a further alliance of our families." Alfredo says."The forging of our families into an eternal bond through the marriage of our children, Danielle and Adrian" dad finishes.The entirety o

CHAPTER SIX.
SERAPHINA'S P.O.V. "You look gorgeous" Layla, Sofia, and I, hooted at and applauded Janelle as she walked out of the dressing room in a sexy and elegant fuschia colored silk slip dress."It's gorgeous but I don't think it would be appropriate for a wedding" Layla said."That's true. Adrian's sister is going to be a member of the bridal train. She's still a girl; I don't think her parents and brother would like seeing her in such a dress" Sofia added."I think I would disagree to agree with that point." a smooth voice purred.My friends and I turned to see a dark haired beauty. She was tall and was elegantly dressed in a navy blue two piece suit and silver stilettos. Her perfectly manicured fingers clutched a small silver purse and silver jewelry adorned her ears, neck, and fingers. She did not look at all like the girl Sofia claimed she was."You must be Danielle." she said as she approached me.Still stunned by her, I only managed to nod in reply. She beamed with elation and h

CHAPTER SEVEN.
DANIELLE'S P.O.V Upbeat hip-hop blared from the sound system which was connected to a smart tv that hung on the wall in the center of my bedroom. Layla and Sofia choreographed the moves displayed on the tv screen, moving their bodies in tune with the beat of the music, while Sofia and Alisia flipped through magazines, in search of the best hairstyles everyone would wear tomorrow. It was the night of my bachelorette party. The night before the deal between both Adrian's family and mine will be sealed in holy matrimony. The thought of running away had crossed my mind severally during the day but dad's voice from the night of the dinner when he told me of his illness, rang in my head everytime I pondered on the thought, successfully keeping me from going through with the plan. It scared me that my first and last shot at marriage was a sham. I had always dreamt of a fairytale marriage for myself. A marriage that would be a result of a fairytale friendship that boomed into somethin

CHAPTER EIGHT.
DANIELLE'S P.O.V I stared at myself in the mirror of my vanity. The makeup artists and hair stylists had done a spectacular job; I looked breath taking. I opted for natural makeup because I didn't want to look extravagant. The hair stylists curled my naturally curly hair and held it together in a bun with hair pins with some of the curls framing my face. Pearl earrings dangled from my ears and a delicate pearl bracelet sat on my left wrist. The day I have been dreading for the past few weeks was finally here. The D-day. I should not have counted my eggs before they hatched by thinking my nerves would be calmed by the heart to heart I had with Alisia the night before. Letting myself relax in the belief that today would go smoothly was a big mistake on my part.My hands shook in fear, and my left leg trembled from nervousness. I looked like I was having a spasm with the way my body was shuddering. I sat, staring at myself in the mirror as a rush of emotions swirled in my m

CHAPTER NINE.
DANIELLE'S P.O.V"Welcome New York's latest couple, the newly wedded Mr and Mrs Adrian Valentino." the master of ceremony's voice reverberated. The applause and hooting that followed was deafening. The groomsmen, which consisted of Umar, Adrian's best friend; Michael Smith, Mason Walls, and George Burrell, his friends from college; and the bridesmaids which consisted of Layla, Janelle, Sofia, and Alisia; danced into the room while I looked around the reception hall as Adrian led me to the head table which we were designated to seat at, trying to see if I recognized some of the faces present. I saw some familiar faces from the times when I would visit Dad at work while I was a college student. They waved and smiled at me as I passed and I smiled back.Adrian held on to my hand as I sat and dropped it immediately my behind was firmly planted on the chair. He sat beside me awkwardly and looked around the hall. I had a feeling that he was avoiding me. He had been behaving awkwardly s

CHAPTER TEN.
DANIELLE'S P.O.V The music sounded distant, my head felt heavy, my heart started to beat faster than normal, my throat felt dry, and I felt like air had been knocked out of my lungs. I gulped down the rest of my champagne and dropped the empty flute on the table, thinking that the way I was feeling was probably what a panic attack usually feels like. Several thoughts started to swim in my head, provoked by his unexpected presence at the reception.How did he get information about the reception venue?Where did he get those details?Why is he here, smiling at me like we never had that heated conversation the night before? "May I have this dance?" Chase repeated. I fidgeted in my seat while desperately wishing a waiter would pass by so I could request for another refill of my champagne flute. "Come on, Dannie. Dance with me" he said. I stared at him, finding it hard to believe he was not up to something. I started to wonder what was going through his mind."I won't bite,
