Alternate Universe

Lucas Okon used to have it all — a corner office, a wife who laughed too loud, a future he never questioned. Grief took it apart piece by piece. Now he fixes leaking pipes for people who don't look at him twice, raises his three-year-old alone, and smiles with his mouth because his eyes gave up on it long ago. Vivienne Kingston has everything money can buy — and almost nothing it can protect. Six months after burying her father, she's running his empire alone, surrounded by cousins circling the inheritance like it's already theirs, an uncle who calls her "family" with a blade folded into the word. She's the only one who still misses the man, not just what he left behind. Then she sees him — a plumber in her neighbor's driveway, sadness worn like a coat he can't take off. She tells herself to stop looking. She doesn't. What starts as curiosity becomes something neither of them asked for. A careful, dangerous pull between a woman drowning in wolves dressed as family, and a man who buried more than his wife the day he walked away from his old life. Vivienne carries her mother's legacy too — a woman the Kingstons never forgave for marrying up without permission — and history has a habit of repeating itself on the people who refuse to shrink for it. He has nothing to offer her but honesty. She has everything — except someone who wants her for free. Neither of them is looking for this. Both of them need it more than they'll ever admit. Grief. Inheritance. And a love that shows up in work boots, not a boardroom — and refuses to leave.

Chapter 1 The Man Who Wouldn't Smile

Jessa turned her head towards the floor-to-ceiling glass window beside her. From there, she could see the vast ocean, the waves crashing onto the shore, and the breathtaking blend of orange and crimson hues from the setting sun. Birds soared freely across the sky.

It's calming and beautiful.

But she couldn't bring herself to appreciate the view.

Because she had a huge problem!

She woke up in a room she didn't recognize, with no idea whose place this was or where she even was. She didn't remember going on a trip! The last thing she recalled was stopping by a 7-Eleven to buy siopao—when suddenly, two men in black ski masks approached her and forcibly shoved her into a van.

She fought back. She kicked, scratched, and even pulled hair. But before she could do more, they made her inhale something foul—a chemical so strong that it knocked her unconscious.

And when she woke up... she was here.

The sound of the door unlocking made her snap to attention. She immediately pressed herself against the headboard. The door swung open, revealing a man carrying a tray of steaming hot food.

He wore Hawaiian board shorts and an open polo, leaving his broad, chiseled chest completely exposed. Her gaze drifted lower—right to those mouthwatering abs that looked so—Wait! No, no, erase that!

She should not be ogling this man. No matter how sinfully delicious his body looked, promising all sorts of forbidden pleasures!

Shit.

Forcing herself to look up, her blood boiled the moment she saw the smirk on his lips.

He looks like a devil.

A devil with a body that could make anyone worship him.

He stepped into the room, moving closer to her. In a flash, she grabbed a pillow and hurled it at him. He dodged with ease—but in doing so, the tray slipped from his hands, sending its contents crashing to the floor.

"Fuucckk!!" His roar was so loud it practically shook the entire room.

Jessa bit her lip, instantly regretting her reckless move. And when she saw the way his eyes darkened, his breathing ragged like a beast ready to charge, she knew—she was screwed.

Smoke might as well be coming out of his nostrils.

He took a step forward. She instinctively lifted herself off the bed. He cracked his neck and took another step. She jumped off the mattress.

This is it. I'm dead.

There was nowhere to run. No matter which way she bolted, he would catch her.

Her eyes darted to the glass window, then back to the enraged man stalking toward her. Then back to the window.

I won't let him catch me alive!

And so, without a second thought, she ran and slammed her body against the glass.

A moment later... she found herself sprawled on the floor, seeing stars dance in her vision.

What the hell?

She didn't break through the glass?!

Why is it that in movies, glass windows always shatter when the protagonist crashes into them? But her? She got nothing but a bump on the head and a full-body ache!

"What the hell are you doing?" he asked mockingly, standing over her.

She wanted so badly to claw that smug look off his face. But her vision was already darkening.

"Don't bother running," she heard him say before everything faded into nothingness. "I never let go of what's mine, pussy doll..."

Had a very good read, was glued till the end... Ozzy writes the kind of story that pulls you in from the first chapter and refuses to let go. The emotions felt real, the characters were easy to connect with, and I found myself rooting for Lucas and Vivienne all the way.

Chapter 2 What The Landlord Wants
Lucas got home a little after six, and the first thing he heard through the door was Zuri's laughter, high and unguarded, the kind that only came out when she felt completely safe."Uncle Lucas!" That was Blessing, Comfort's youngest, singing the greeting even though he wasn't anybody's uncle by blood. Zuri's face lit up when she saw him in the doorway, but she didn't run to him yet — she was in the middle of "helping" Comfort's older daughter braid a doll's hair, and abandoning a task halfway was not something Zuri believed in."Evening, evening," Comfort said from her spot on a low stool outside her own door, shelling beans into a bowl balanced on her knees. Her three children and Zuri were sprawled around her on a mat, the day's homework forgotten in favor of the doll. "She ate small rice with the children. I hope that's fine.""You didn't have to feed her too, Comfort.""Ehn, one more mouth in this house, nobody will notice." She waved a hand like the matter was already closed, th

Chapter 3 The Crown Nobody Wanted To See Her Wear
Vivienne Kingston had learned, in the six months since her father died, that grief and boardrooms did not mix well. Grief wanted you to sit still. Boardrooms wanted you sharp, dressed, unshaken, by nine.She gave them unshaken. It was the only thing she had left to give.Her father's office was still her father's office, technically, though her name was on the door now, freshly etched, the paint around it not yet faded to match the rest. She hadn't been able to bring herself to move the chair, the pen set, the small framed photo of the two of them at her graduation, him beaming like she'd hung the moon instead of just finished a business degree he'd already taught her twice over at the dinner table.Richard Kingston had built Kingston Holdings from a single shipping contract into something that touched half a dozen industries. He'd also, apparently, believed he had another twenty years to teach his daughter how to hold it. The heart attack took that assumption away from both of them i

Chapter 4 “Vivienne” "Just…Vivienne, tonight.”
The call came on a Wednesday, and Lucas almost didn't pick up because he didn't recognize the number."Is this Lucas Okon?" A crisp voice, all business. "I'm calling on behalf of Ms. Kingston. We have an event Friday evening — one of the bathrooms in the east wing has a fault, and given the number of guests expected, she'd prefer it handled by someone she's already had in the house. Can you come Friday afternoon, ahead of the event?"Lucas sat down slowly on the edge of the mattress. Zuri was at the table, tongue between her teeth, coloring a giraffe purple for reasons known only to her."Friday afternoon," he repeated, doing the math already. Friday afternoon meant no one to watch Zuri — his neighbor Comfort, who sometimes helped, worked Fridays now. "What time would I be done?""She's asked that you stay through the evening, in case anything else comes up during the event. You'll be paid for the full day. Generously." A pause, like the woman on the phone was reading something off a

Chapter 5 The Woman They Called a Curse
Vivienne was eleven years old the first time she heard her mother called a witch to her face.Not directly to her face — her aunt Patience hadn't known she was standing in the corridor outside the dining room, small and quiet in her school uniform, waiting to be called in for dinner. Patience's voice had carried the way voices do when people believe children are elsewhere."That woman bewitched him," Patience was saying, to someone Vivienne couldn't see — probably Marcus, judging by the low murmur that answered. "A man like Richard Kingston, with everything, and he goes and marries a girl from Eket with nothing to her name. No family behind her. No name that means anything in this city. You tell me that's not spiritual.""Ma, leave it," Marcus had said, though not with much conviction."I won't leave it. Our brother had his pick of any daughter from any good family in this state, and he chose a nobody who trapped him with... whatever she used. I have my suspicions."Vivienne hadn't un

Chapter 6 Before
Lucas didn’t talk about the life before. Not to Comfort, who'd probably guessed pieces of it just from the way he spoke sometimes, too careful, too polished in certain sentences for a man who spent his days under sinks. Not to Zuri, who was too young to understand it and, he hoped, would stay that way a while longer. Not even really to himself, most days — he'd gotten good at keeping the door of it shut.But some nights it came anyway, uninvited, the way old things do.Tonight it was the smell that did it — someone two doors down was frying something with too much thyme in it, and thyme had been Ann's thing, the one spice she put in everything whether it belonged there or not, and Lucas found himself sitting very still on the edge of the mattress with Zuri asleep beside him, letting the memory come instead of fighting it for once.He'd been good at his job. That was the part people would never guess, looking at him now — that three years ago he'd sat in strategy meetings at Harrington

Chapter 7 "The Girl With Flour on Her Nose"
Vivienne almost didn't come.She'd told herself the visit was practical — Lucas had mentioned a leaking tap under his kitchen sink last week, in that offhand way he mentioned things he didn't actually want help with. She'd sent her assistant to find a plumber's supply shop instead of calling one of Kingston Holdings' contracted vendors, because contracted vendors filed reports, and reports had a way of finding their way to Marcus's desk.So here she was, standing outside a small house in Maple Heights in shoes that cost more than the rent, holding a bag of pipe fittings like an apology.Lucas opened the door before she knocked twice. He looked at the bag, then at her face, and something in his jaw loosened like he'd been expecting her to change her mind and was surprised she hadn't."You didn't have to…""I know," she said. "Let me in anyway."The house smelled like something frying. Small, warm, lived-in — nothing like the echoing rooms she'd grown up in, where every surface seemed t

Chapter 8 "What the Body Remembers"
Vivienne came back three days later.She told herself it was about the tap again — except Lucas had already fixed the tap, and they both knew it, and neither of them said so out loud when she showed up anyway with a bottle of wine and a bag full of goodies for Zuri, she wasn't sure he'd want and a reason she hadn't fully worked out yet."Zuri's with Comfort tonight," he said, before she'd even stepped inside. "Sleepover. Apparently there's a very important tea party happening that I wasn't invited to.""Her loss," Vivienne said. "I make excellent tea.""Do you.""No. But I'd have tried."He laughed — really laughed, the kind that pulled his whole face into it — and stepped back to let her in.The house felt different without Zuri's noise filling it. Quieter. Vivienne noticed things she hadn't before — how carefully Lucas kept everything, like a man who'd learned that order was the only thing he could still control. A photo on the shelf she didn't ask about. A woman's handwriting on an

Chapter 9 "What Neither of Them Said Out Loud"
The house was too quiet when Vivienne got home.She stood in her bedroom doorway for a long moment before going in — this room that had never once felt like comfort, only like a place she slept between obligations. Tonight it felt smaller than usual. Emptier.She sat on the edge of the bed still in her dress, and let herself feel it — actually feel it, the way she never allowed herself to in daylight, surrounded by people who read her face for weakness.I have never felt like that before.Not with the men her mother's old friends tried to introduce her to at charity dinners, all polished and appropriate and utterly forgettable. Not with the one relationship she'd let herself have in university, before her father got sick the first time and she learned that wanting things came with a price she wasn't always willing to pay. She had built a life where feeling too much was a liability, where her value came from being unshakeable, and she had gotten so good at it that some nights she forgo

Chapter 10 "Nine A.M."
The boardroom at Kingston Holdings had a view of the whole city, floor-to-ceiling glass that Vivienne's father used to say was there to remind everyone in the room how small their problems really were against a skyline that had stood for a hundred years before any of them existed.This morning, it wasn't working.She walked in at 8:57, three minutes early, dressed in the kind of armor she only wore for rooms like this — sharp lines, no softness anywhere visible. If anyone looked closely they might have seen the faint shadow under her eyes from a night that had ended somewhere she'd never expected to end up. No one looked that closely. They never did, past the surface she gave them.Marcus was already seated at the head of the table, which was not his seat, and everyone in the room noticed and no one said anything."Vivienne." He smiled the way he always did in front of witnesses — warm enough to photograph, cold enough underneath that she'd stopped being fooled by it years ago. "Good
