Prologue

Nathalia’s POV“That’s all for today. Class is dismissed.”My classmates quickly stood up and hurriedly left as soon as our last professor left the room. Some of them were even pushing each other at the door, seeming eager to go home. I couldn’t help but laugh as I organized my belongings.I was taken aback when I felt a tap on my right shoulder. Madeline’s smiling face greeted me when I turned around.“Your debut is coming up soon, girl! I’m sure Uncle Edwin and Auntie Marcel will prepare for it extravagantly! I’m so excited already!” she squealed.I just shook my head while smiling. “That’s not going to happen.”She suddenly stopped, her forehead creasing. “Huh?”I shrugged. “I already talked to them about it. Just so you know, I want my birthday this time to be simple and private. I’ll only invite a few guests, and there won’t be a big party like you expect.”I slung my handbag over my right shoulder and stood up. It was only then that I noticed we were the only ones left in the cl

Chapter 1.1: No Body, No Crime

Nathalia’s POVI turned off the engine of my car as it came to a stop in front of a tall building. After making sure I didn’t leave anything behind, I got out of the car and looked up at the towering building before me.I took a deep breath before I started walking, going along with the flow of people entering the building.As I entered, the lounge area greeted me, filled with many people lounging around and reading magazines. Most of them seemed to be guests of the hotel.My attention was immediately drawn to the large chandelier hanging from the ceiling. It looked cold and beautiful, made of crystal.I began walking on the red carpet laid out in the hallway, passing by pillars adorned with indoor plants.I smiled as I proceeded to the reception area.“Good afternoon, Ma’am. How may I help you?” the receptionist greeted me politely, wearing a wide smile on her lips.I glanced around. It wasn’t my first time here. But even so, I couldn’t just visit my friends.I had been waiting for t

Chapter 1.2: No Body, No Crime

But then he glanced at his cellphone, as if reading something, before turning his attention back to the man lying lifelessly on the ground. There was no emotion evident on his face.“Take him. I need to teach him a lesson and make him remember that he messed up with the wrong person.”It was only then that I noticed the men surrounding them, all dressed in black with shades covering their eyes. Together, they worked to lift the beaten man and place him inside one of the waiting cars. The windows of the car were tinted, so I couldn’t see what or who was inside.Soon, they all got into their respective vehicles. When they disappeared from my sight, I didn’t know what possessed me, but I found myself running back to the main lobby, my legs trembling from a mix of fear and anxiety.I’m not trying to be a hero, but my parents and friends taught me to stand up for what is right.Oh well, let the chips fall where they may. I’ll probably get an earful from Mom and Mads if they find out.But w

Chapter 2.1: Frustrated

Nathalia’s POV“What were you doing at the hotel yesterday? And why did you suddenly run off? You told me that you’d talk to us later that day. But what happened? You’re not even answering our calls!” Harold bombarded me with questions before taking a sip of his frappe.I was about to respond when Albert intervened.“You have no idea how worried we were! We were taken aback when Harold told us that he saw you in the hotel lobby and you hurriedly left. We thought you got into some trouble.” He shook his head before taking a small piece of his blueberry cheesecake on a plate.I was about to answer when Damon suddenly interjected. I gave him a disapproving look, but it seemed like he didn’t catch the message I wanted to convey.“Knowing you and your heroine act, I can’t figure out whether I should be pleased or regretful that we taught you self-defense and all those safety precaution techniques.”I took a deep breath, anticipating Mads’ imminent interruption. I quickly preempted her, rai

Chapter 2.2: Frustrated

“Okay. Enough with that issue. The important thing is that everything is clear now and resolved. But...” Harold leaned back in his seat and crossed his arms in front of his chest.“In just four days, it will be your birthday. I’m excited because I know there’ll be a feast again. Will Aunt Marcel still personally cook for us?” Harold’s eyes sparkled as he asked.I nodded, secretly relieved that he had finally changed the topic of conversation.He then playfully punched the air. “You know Mom. She wants to be hands-on even if cooking is hard work,” I replied.“Oh, that’s right. Oh, no, I haven’t bought a gift for you yet, Thalia!” Mads pouted.“We haven’t bought one either. We can’t think of anything to give you. You seem to have everything already,” Damon chimed in.Damon and Albert then high-fived.Mads and I just shook our heads. They’re really a bunch of jokers.But suddenly, I paused. Truth be told, it’s a perfect opportunity for them to bring up the topic of what gift they could g

Chapter 3.1: Stay Away

Nathalia’s POVI’m currently engrossed and focused on my laptop. I decided to gather essential information about Stephen Anderson.While I used to ignore the news when I heard or read about him before, now I have to get involved. I need to know every single detail about him. I should be aware of who he really is and what he is capable of doing aside from killing and manipulating people.I sighed and almost buried my face in frustration because most of the articles I read about him were negative. His name is associated with many issues.There is some recognition as well. But still, it wouldn’t change the fact that he’s indeed a bad person, and it wouldn’t cover his bad deeds.Just recently, he’s been accused of being the one who killed the well-known businessman, Mr. Choi. Rumor has it that they were fierce rivals in business and recently had a major altercation. People have concluded that he is responsible for the tragic accident. Speculation spread that the accident was intentional a

Chapter 3.2: Stay Away

“Oh, wait. What deal are you referring to, Uncle?” Liam folded his hands before turning to Dad, who continued eating as if nothing was happening.Now he’s curious. I thought he wouldn’t notice that topic.“She will be the one in charge of the company once we retire,” Dad replied with a smile before firmly gazing at me.I sighed in defeat and looked away. Here we go again.Frowning, Liam turned to me. “Okay? But what’s the use of a deal anyway? Obviously, you are the heiress of Sarmiento Hotel Group.”“Yeah. But she kept on insisting before that we should let you take over the company instead, and she will just help you out.”Liam’s frown deepened. “Okay. Now, I’m lost, princess. You knew too well that I had our own company to run, right?”I took a deep breath before nodding slowly. “I know. But my point here is, I’m not a real Sar—”“You’re our family. That’s what made you a Sarmiento. That fact alone explains everything, and nothing can ever change that,” he interrupted, cutting off

Chapter 4: Kidnapped

Nathalia’s POVI laid two baskets of white roses in front of adjacent tombstones before slowly sitting down on the grass. I gently traced the engraved names there and smiled sadly.“It’s my birthday today. Your daughter has grown up now.” I tried to make my voice sound cheerful, but it still cracked.I closed my eyes tightly, and a tear rolled down from my right eye. However, I quickly wiped it away and sighed before opening my eyes again. This is supposed to be a happy day.“I wish you were still here. Maybe we’d be celebrating happily today.” I bit my lower lip.“Ever since I was young, you already had so many plans for me. From my high school graduation, my debut, my college graduation, and until the time you would entrust the company’s management to me. Because I am your only heir. Even in whom I would marry...”My face slightly contorted as I remembered that.“I wish it hadn’t been part of your plans.”I let out a heavy sigh. If only I could do something to change the past. But I

Chapter 5.1: The Proposal

Nathalia’s POVI was just staring into space until the van we were riding in came to a stop. I slowly started feeling exhausted due to my continuous crying earlier. My eyes were swollen, and my voice became hoarse from begging, but it was all in vain. They seemed deaf to my pleas and blind to the fear enveloping me.I remained silent as Stephen’s righthand man, I presume, pulled me out. He held my arm tightly, as if I could still escape from this place.I am sure this man is not just a simple henchman of Stephen’s; I overheard one of his colleagues calling him the boss earlier.However, I held my breath as I saw men in black suits guarding the surroundings, their holstered guns ready to fire at any wrongdoing.When I looked up, a mansion loomed before me. It was tall, seemingly reaching up to the fifth floor. Each window had what seemed to be attached and poised guns, ready to fire at the slightest misstep.I involuntarily gasped at what I saw. This mansion looked like hell to me.“Go

Chapter 5.2: The Proposal

I woke up because of the noise of different voices around me. I furrowed my brow in confusion.“What did you do?” I heard a familiar voice ask.“I explained everything to him, but he won’t listen. He almost barged in! Thank God, we managed to stop him!” another familiar voice replied.“You can’t blame him, though. You made a move without them knowing first,” a female voice interjected.Wait, where am I? Who are these people talking to, and what are they discussing?I slowly opened my eyes and fully awakened when I saw Stephen sitting on a chair beside the bed, holding a gun.That made me get up and remember everything that happened. I then realized that Ace and Shantel must be the ones with the familiar voices I heard earlier.“We’ll just go outside,” Ace said. Shantel followed him, looking grumpy.As they finally left and closed the door, my attention turned back to Stephen when I heard the click of the gun.He stood up and slowly approached me. I began to back away until I leaned ag
