CHAPTER 1

“Father.” Roxanne’s voice rang out in the living room as she watched the man supposed to be her father, support her stepmother in her evil decisions.

“Don't call me your father if you can't even do such a simple task as this.” Roxanne’s father, Mr. Derek Renwick spat out, sitting beside his wife, Evelyn Renwick.

“Father, you want me to get married to a disabled man? To a man rumored to be even more ugly than a dog?” She asked again as tears rolled down her face, staining her face and shirt in the process. All these words coming from Derek were because his wife, Evelyn, suggested that Roxanne get married in place of Reina, her stepsister, To the son of the Sébastien family. The son is rumored to be handicapped and ugly.

Everyone knew that the Sébastien family was the richest in the whole of Northpass City. Being the only old-money family to own half of the riches of the Northpass region. The Sébastien family also had three sons, but two were allegedly killed in a plane crash that happened some years back. Now they were left with just one son who never showed himself to the public, and he was even rumored to have become a handicap after the incident.

A few days back, The Renwick family had faced crashes In business and the only people capable of helping the family climb back to the ladder of success happened to be the renowned old money Sébastien family.

Derek reached out to them for help, but the Sébastien  family saw the Renwick's as nothing before them, and they found out about the Renwick's daughters. The Sébastien family then sent a proposal to the Renwicks, asking for their daughter's hand in marriage for their only surviving son, Ciel  Sébastien, In exchange for a partnership in making the Renwick family legacy blossom in Northpass.

Initially, everyone knew Reina as the only daughter of the Renwicks, given that Roxanne wasn't even treated as a maid, not to talk of a family member.

Roxanne sniffed as she watched her father looking nonchalant without a care in the world.

“But father, why me?” She asked, knowing fully that the question was dumb, considering that her father would always give the same answer.

“What do you mean why?” It was Evelyn this time, “You're the oldest one amongst you two and you're the rightful person fit for this marriage. Besides, the Sébastien s are crazily rich, they'll take care of you and you don't have to suffer anymore” She said casually as she sipped the wine before her.

“But they didn't even ask for my hand in marriage!” Roxanne raised her voice this time, thinking they would at least see the sense she was trying to make. But Derek got mad and stood up to hit her across the face.

“Firstly, you don't raise your voice for us, and Secondly, you will get married whether they asked for your hand in marriage or not. Without this marriage, our family will crumble and your brother needs medical help as fast as possible or he might die, right? Also, our Sofia is too beautiful for him. You'll do just fine. You're fat and ugly.”

Hearing the words coming out of her own father’s mouth, Roxanne  felt her body tremble.

He spoke as if Finn and herself weren't his own.

“Father, he is your son. Why are you saying all this? Finn needs money for his surgery.” Roxanne said again, trying to make him understand her words since he seemed not to have heard her the first time.

Derek gave her a disgusted look and snorted, “Finn is not my son, your mother was a cheating whore!” He spat out, making Roxanne  freeze in her tracks as his words registered in her mind.

Her mother? A whore?

“Father! How could you?!” She yelled again in anger as her tears fell down her face. Derek said nothing more and just sat down with Evelyn who had a smirk on her face.

“Reina is my precious daughter, the only young lady of the Renwick family and to you, do you think she deserves to end up with a disabled child like Ciel Sébastien ?” Derek asked as she stood quietly, Roxanne watched her father as pain flooded her senses.

There was nothing else she could do at this point. Finn was her younger brother and he was currently hospitalized since he was diagnosed with a severe case of Aortic dissection requiring immediate surgical intervention.

But Evelyn had suggested that they would only help in taking care of Finn’s hospital and surgical bills if only Roxanne agreed to marry Ciel in place of her Reina.

She was left in a dilemma of marrying a man she never even knew for her brother's sake, or refusing the marriage and losing her only family, Finn.

Derek watched her expressions, seeing the hurt, pain and other emotions that were heart-wrenching.

“I can't do it Father, I just can't.” She said softly and without waiting for a response, she dashed out of the living room and out of the house. Her tears weren't drying up no matter how hard she tried to hold it in.

Just when she thought all hope was lost, she remembered her fiance, Devian Willow. The only son of the Willow family.

She had been betrothed to him for a few years and in those few years, she never asked him for any financial help. She would rather struggle for the money than ask him for help. But at this point, she was desperate for help in saving her brother’s life.

With the newfound hope, she got into a taxi and went straight to Devian’s house which was a few blocks away from the Renwick Manor. Hopefully, Devian would help her since he was her fiance.

The Taxi arrived at the entrance of Devian's house In no time and she got down from the taxi. After paying up, she hastily made her way into the premises and straight to the front door. The door was locked, surprising her as she had already seen his car in the parking lot.

She shrugged it off and just reached into her bag to pull out the spare key Devian had given her for his apartment.

She unlocked the door and stepped in. The living room was empty and she raised a brow in surprise, but quickly shrugged and headed upstairs to his bedroom.

Halfway to Devian's bedroom, Roxanne  heard strange noises, or so she thought, coming from Devian’s bedroom. She hastened her footstep, thinking a burglar broke in.

But when she got to the door, she discovered that it was slightly open.

She reluctantly peeked in, to confirm If truly it was a burglar, but what she saw next shattered her entire world and hope.

Right before her, Devian was making out with another woman on his bed.

Roxanne subconsciously placed a hand on her chest as pain assaulted her.

Betrayal left a sore taste in her mouth.

Without warning, she went ahead to push the door open, to confront Devian for his actions.

“Devian!” she yelled and prepared to lash out at the woman in his arms, but the head that poked out to meet hers was none other than Reina Renwick's.

Roxanne’s words got stuck in her throat, seeing that her fiance was having an affair with her stepsister.

He said he did.But what was all this?“Roxanna, I can explain.” Devian suddenly said as he put on his shorts and climbed off the bed, I saw a smirk form on Reina's face as she sat up on the bed, using the blanket to cover herself up.“Roxanna, it's not what you think” Devian began to say as he came to stand before me, but before he could proceed with his words, I raised my hand to slap him.Devian’s eyes widened as he held onto the side of his face I had struck.“Explain what?!

With the last remaining energy left in me, I bit her arm; the very one that kept pulling me continuously.“Ahhh!! You animal!” Evelyn shrieked and released her hold on me. I saw that as a good opportunity to make a run for the exit.“Stop her! Catch her and don't let her escape!” I heard Evelyn's voice from behind and I ran even faster.Once I got outside the mansion, I ran directly to the roadside to flag down a taxi. Thankfully, I found

    The drive to the Sebastien estate is chokingly silent.Roxanne sits in the back of the luxury car stiffly, her hands curled into her lap. Across from her, her new husband reclines with effortless grace, his suit well tailored, and his gaze distant.He has not spoken a word to her since they left the wedding venue, not even a whisper of reassurance, no comments…. Just nothing.It was as if the whole drama at the wedding had been nothing more than a formality to him.The reality of it starts to settle on her like a huge weight.She is now Roxanne Sebastien.Not by her choice, not by love, but her circumstance.When the car finally pulls over at the estate, Roxanne felt herself gasping.The Sebastien estate is something out of a dream, it was a kingdom. It has towering iron gates that stretches beyond what her eyes can fully take in at once.The mansion itself was ahead, a grand architectural work of glass, marbles and carefully curated history. It has manicured gardens from the entrance

    She moved carefully the next day down the halls of the mansion. Such estate was literally a world in itself, vast and bigger than one could think, and silent.One could smell power and wealth from every part of the house, from the crystal chandeliers overhead to the windows that looked at the perfectly manicured gardens. The ceilings were dauntingly lofty with elaborate ornate, and the air perfumed with the faintest scent of polished wood and expensive cologne. It had its beauty, but it was distinctively chilling.And she felt it was not meant for her.Not because she was not worthy, no, she refused to believe that.But because this world had been built without her in mind.Heavily weighed down by the Sebastien name, even more so than the heaviest piece of jewelry she had ever worn, she walked along corridors where she could feel the eyes of the staff upon her. Their faces were placid, as far as she could tell; they had little to say to each other, but She wasn't that naive. There

She was looking desperate.“I am here to see Ciel,” she said with a firm voice. “There has been a terrible misunderstanding.”The butler, an older man with a look of practiced indifference, replied evenly, “Mr. Sebastien has not requested to see any visitors.”Reina's polished bravado cracked for a split secon

    Ciel could not answer the question Roxanne asked him.He only sighed, and took her hand.He led back into their room for the night.They would be spending the night at his parent's house.The night was heavy, and it covered the whole area in a very quiet serenity.The estate lights were shining over the trimmed hedges and the still fountains located in the central location of the estate.It lit up the whole place.By the time they retired Into their guest suite, Roxanne freshened up and stood by the tall window.Ordinarily, she should have been tired after everything that happened during the day, but her mind was too restless to be still.She knew she and Ciel could not return home that night, especially after what happened at the dinner.It would feel awkward, especially since Ciel's family didn't hide their hostility towards him.His mother had offered for them to stay behind.Ciel had accepted with the usual casual and disinterested way he does things.She could see that the whole

    She had asked the question because of what had happened at the dinner earlier that day. She was sitting beside Ciel in the big dinning hall of the mansion. It was a beautiful sight. But she could feel it also. She could see that his family objects to him even if it's not loud. It felt like he did not belong there. And it made her angry. It was clear Ciel was more sharp, powerful, and far more wiser than these so called family members who behaved as if they were above every other persons. But, they act like he was not their own blood. As if he was an outsider. She had no idea why it was like that. But she knew one thing. She would not sit back and let them treat him that way. During the dinner, Rex, had leaned back in his chair with a smirk in his face that was infuriating. He had been stealing glances at Ciel all through the dinner, throwing subtle sharp remarks towards fim, disguising it as a causal conversations. It was clear to Roxanne that he was teasing him. But w

    Ciel’s driver drove Roxanne and him to his family estate.It was a bit long, but she barely noticed it.She sat beside him, Ciel , in the back of the car.She had her fingers clasped tightly against her laps.The windows were closed and tinted.She could see the city's skyscrapers from the inside, same as the beautiful buildings that make up the city and the estate they were in.The further they moved, the more they came across very beautiful buildings.And, finally, the driver stopped at the gates of Sebastien's mansion.It was not just a house.It was more like a castle.It stretched far across acres of private land, which were shielded by tall walls and a towering iron gate.And it has very unnaturally perfectly trimmed hedges.The mansion itself was a testament of old money elegance.It had massive columns, alongside grand windows.And it also had a driveway that was large enough to fit a dozen luxury cars.Roxanne breathed in and out.She had been in high society long enough to u

    She just sat there, looking at Ciel in silence.She was angry Reina had tried to make another attempt to seduce her husband.It was quite pathetic.She wondered what she was trying to achieve with the seduction.Was she trying to get back at her?If that is the case, is that not a weak attempt?Or could there be a deeper conspiracy at play?A target at her career, maybe?Or she was just hell bent on ruining her public image by getting involved in a scandal with her husband?That was still weak and predictable.But the fact she did made an attempt to steal her husband was something she would not forgive her for.Ciel could see the anger in her eyes.He had seen her angry before but that was something else.The look on her face was of something he could not decipher.It was not not anger.It was a cold one that could tear down Reina if she was with them at that moment.She then breathed out slowly, as her chest rose and fell in controlled breaths.“I promise. I am going to destroy her.”

    As Ciel left her on the green, Reina felt indignation run through her.She stomped her feet on the green grass as heavily as possible.She was furious.She had been trying to hold the anger in.But she had to let it out now that he had left.Her perfectly done and styled hair that she had spent a considerable amount of time to get done, now felt heavy and kind of pointless.Her confidence had been at an all time high when she got here had actually shattered the moment she realized Ciel had seen through her schemes but she had kept a straight face.She could not believe it.She had been subtly mocked again.Her advances had been rejected.Ciel had not even shown any signs that whatever she did had gotten to him.He had not considered entertaining the idea of her advances.She thought she was making progress when he agreed to play a game with her.Only to realize he had agreed only to make it clear to her that she disgusted him.Her fingers clenched around the gold club as she bent down

    As Ciel gathered his things in a bid to move away, his mind thought about many things.He had never been the one to indulge in meaningless conversations, but the way Reina was pursuing the conversation with him in a relentless manner was becoming amusing to him.As he turned to away, he hesitated and looked back to Reina.His lips then curled into a smirk.“You know, I heard an interesting rumor, Reina.”Raising an eyebrow, she asked with some interest.“Oh really? What kind of rumor could that be?”He calmly set his things down with an effortless grace that only added to his aura.He then tilted his head a bit, looking at her in a way that seems to be weakening every single one of her defenses.Still smirking, he said.“I heard you were pregnant.”The words came unexpectedly to Reina.It felt like a slap to her face, but she managed to keep her expression neutral.Regardless of how she tried to compose herself, she could feel her pulse quicken as she heard what he said.With a scoff,

    “It's cold out there. I need to get warm.”Derek told his wife as he proceeded to the living room.His mind was reeling with the fact that what he came to do had been unexpectedly easy to carry out.Reina had broken up with Devian.He had not expected that.He was here to try to convince her to temporarily abandon Devian in pursuit of what he wants her to do for him.Because he knew how stubborn she could be when she was being persuaded.But she had already left him on her own.The revelation made him smile as he walked to a seat.This was really perfect.At Least the burden of being a manipulative father, trying to pressurize his daughter into making a difficult choice she may not want to make is off his chest.The choice had already been made before he came around.And now, it aligns perfectly with his plans.She was free, and will be unbothered by the distraction of a lover who may want to get in the way of his plans.That said, this means she would be able to use her charms to the
