Chapter 1: The Windsor Fashion Show.

Hilary Windsor I stretched out on the couch, my legs dangling over the edge as I lazily flipped through TV channels. The faint crunch of chips filled the room as I chewed mindlessly, not paying attention much until the voice of the news anchor broke through.“This just in,” the anchor began, her smile practically lighting up the screen. “The highly anticipated Windsor fashion show is going on at the moment! Hosted by Emily Windsor herself, the event is set to showcase breathtaking masterpieces that will leave everyone in awe.”The chip in my hand froze mid-air. My sister, Emily Windsor. The name stung, a reminder of everything that seemed to revolve around her. I clicked the TV off with more force than necessary and tossed the remote aside, irritation simmering beneath my skin.I reached for my phone, scrolling through Instagram absentmindedly. When a stream appeared on my screen. My sister Emily’s face was up the screen, surrounded by elegant designs being paraded down the runway. M...

Chapter 2: The Betrayal.
Hilary Windsor My heart pounded as I stared at the laptop screen, my hands trembling as I refreshed the page, hoping and praying I was wrong. It was an online store, selling my work. My sketches, my designs. The same pieces I had just watched parade down the runway under Emily’s name.But this time, they had price tags attached.My fingers trembled as I clicked through the listings. Each design was marked “Exclusive Windsor Couture Collection.” My collection. And they were selling, orders pouring in, the numbers rising with each passing second.A sharp, burning sensation settled in my chest. I felt sick.Without thinking, I grabbed my phone and dialed my mother.She answered on the second ring. “Hilary, darling, it’s late. What is it?” Her voice was smooth and unbothered. “My designs. They’re being sold online. Under Windsor Couture.” I whispered, barely getting the words out.A beat of silence. Then a soft, amused chuckle. She's laughing? “Oh, sweetheart. Is that what this is ab

Chapter 3: A Night of Bliss.
Bennett LandonThe meeting room was quiet, the air thick with anticipation. A group of executives sat in front of me, waiting for my decision.I glanced at the proposal in my hands. Profits, expansion plans, projections. On paper, it all looked good. But something was off.“This plan,” I said, tapping the document, “costs too much. Cut unnecessary expenses and focus on what actually brings in money.”The lead executive nodded quickly. “Yes, Mr. Landon. We’ll fix it right away.”I gave a small nod. “Good. Bring me a new version tomorrow.”As the meeting ended, my assistant, Daniel, handed me my schedule. “Dinner with your parents in an hour,” he reminded me.I sighed. “Of course.”*************The restaurant was elegant, the kind of place where deals were made over expensive wine and forced smiles.My mother was already seated, her posture perfect. My father barely looked up, focused on his watch. Always impatient.I slid into the seat across from them. “Mother, Father.” I acknowledge

Chapter 4: The New Me
Hilary Windsor I stirred in my sleep, my head banging as I struggled to wake up. Slowly, I opened my eyes, trying to process where I was. This room was unfamiliar. It was large but simple, with gray walls and sleek furniture. The faint scent of cologne and fresh sheets filled the air.Where am I?Then I saw a man sleeping peacefully next to me. His face was still and calm, jawline softened in his sleep. My eyes widened as I noticed a faint lipstick stain on his white shirt. I gasped.Did I… spend a night with a stranger? “Did we do it?” I whispered, my heart pounding as I glanced down at myself under the duvet. Oh no.I'm naked!What have I done?I feel so tender between my legs…I pressed my hand on my temple, trying to steady my racing thoughts. Then, like a floodgate bursting open, memories of last night came rushing in.The bar. The drinks. The handsome stranger with the piercing blue eyes.My cheeks burned as flashes of last night filled my mind. His lips on mine, his hands

Chapter 5: Where did she go?
Bennet LandonThe soft glow of morning light seeped through the curtains, nudging me awake. The bed was cold beside me. My arm reached out instinctively, but my fingers met nothing but untouched sheets.For a moment, I kept my eyes closed, piecing together the fragments of last night. The girl from last night. The taste of whiskey on her lips. The way her body fit against mine. The quiet moans that slipped from her when I touched her.I opened my eyes.She was gone.I pushed myself up, scanning the room. She wasn't here. No traces of her except for the lingering scent of her. Something light, floral, almost intoxicating. Then my eyes caught something.A small piece of paper on the bedside table.I reached for it, my fingers tightening the moment I read the words written on it.“Last night never happened. Don’t look for me”I stared at the note for a long moment, my jaw clenching.I turned it over, half expecting a name, a number or something. But there was nothing.No name. No exp

Chapter 6: The Pregnancy
Hilary WindsorI stared at the cracked ceiling of the motel room, listening to the distant hum of traffic outside. My heart beating fast and uneven, matching the rage inside me.Two weeks.It has been two weeks since I ran, since I heard Emily was getting engaged, since I walked away from everything and everyone.I told myself I needed space. A moment to breathe.But no amount of distance could dull the ache in my chest.The betrayal still stings. The humiliation even more. And the one-night stand with a stranger whose name I didn’t even know.I thought I could handle it. That I was strong enough to bury the pain and move on.But I was wrong. So damn wrong.I turned off my phone the night I left. Deleted my location. Blocked everyone. No one could find me. And I didn't want them to.I believed leaving would make me feel free. But all I feel is… emptiness.There’s a void inside me, something missing but I don’t know what.Maybe it’s the desire to be loved sincerely.Maybe it’s the part

Chapter 7: This is just the Beginning
Hilary WindsorA bitter laugh slipped from my lips.Of course it’s Emily. It’s always her.She takes and takes, and somehow, everyone lets her.But not this time.I sat frozen for a second, my mind spinning… then something inside me snapped.I’m done running.They betrayed me, used me, and left me broken.Now, I’m going to show them who I really am.I grabbed my phone and booked the earliest flight to London.**************I arrived in London the next morning. The air bit my skin. It was colder than I remembered.The city looked the same. Loud, fast, and full of people moving like they had somewhere important to be. I, on the other hand, had only one goal: to burn down everything that hurt me.I pulled my coat tighter as I stepped into the hotel I had booked. A quiet place in the edge of the city. The receptionist looked up with a bright smile. “Good morning. You must be Miss… Brown?”I nodded. “Yes. Just checking in.”“Of course,” she said, typing quickly “, Your room is ready. Top
