Chapter 2

Early morning.

I sat brooding in front of my computer.

Midway through, I went downstairs to grab a bite.

My mom was in the living room watching TV.

Suddenly, a breaking news segment appeared on the screen:

**Breaking News: The Armstrong Corporation announces the engagement ceremony of Mr. Ryker Armstrong and Ms. Sydney Wells, set for mid-next month.**

I froze.

An engagement on a private island?

It seems like a lifetime ago when I clung to Ryker Armstrong so much.

I remember begging him:

“Isn't an island so romantic? Can we have our engagement there?”

He always looked so detached and annoyed.

“Emely, can you stop this?”

“I’m working.”

Seeing him upset, I immediately sat quietly beside him. “Okay, I won’t say anything. You go ahead and work.”

The memory faded.

I snapped back to the present.

My mom noticed me and seemed startled.

“Emely, why are you downstairs?”

“Are you going out? Where to? I can come with you.”

She had already asked someone to retrieve her purse and was searching for the remote to turn off the TV.

Watching her anxious and awkward actions, I understood.

She was just scared that I'd become clingy again, constantly sticking to Ryker Armstrong like glue.

But, Mom, I won’t anymore.

Never again.

"I'm not going out, just came to grab some food."

“What?”

I had already picked up a bottle of juice and turned to head back upstairs.

At the stairs, my mom still looked surprised.

“Emely, you…”

I sniffled.

“Mom, you go ahead and watch TV. I’m going back upstairs to work.”

Broken By The Heir, Claimed By Power Novel Cover
9.5
I spent two years navigating the stratified air of Spencer Kensington’s world, thinking I was the woman he loved. I even ate instant ramen for months to afford a vintage camera lens for our anniversary. When I got a mysterious text about "Operation Blue Moon," I thought it was our private signal for a proposal. Instead, I walked into a limestone fortress to find the Kensington and Van Der Woodsen Engagement Party in full swing. Spencer wasn't there for a romantic dinner; he was standing under a crystal chandelier, announcing his "business merger" with a blonde heiress. When I confronted him in a service hallway, he didn't apologize. He offered to buy me a brownstone and keep me as his "side project" while his mother, Victoria, watched from the balcony like a queen. "Vanessa is just furniture," he said, his voice full of a terrifying sincerity. "But you're the one I love. I can give you a life of ease." When I refused to be his dirty little secret, the retaliation was instant and brutal. By the next morning, I was fired from my reporting job, my father’s nursing home funding was pulled, and I returned home to find my apartment condemned by the city. My entire life was piled in wet boxes on a rain-soaked sidewalk. I couldn't understand how one family could have the power to erase a person’s existence in a single night. How could the man who kissed me yesterday watch his mother leave me homeless and penniless today? Standing in the rain next to my ruined belongings, a black SUV pulled up and Mayor Julian Sterling stepped out. He didn't offer me pity; he offered me a deal. "The Kensingtons are panicked," he said, his eyes cold and calculating. "And panicked people make mistakes. You have a reason to watch them burn. I want to see what you know." I took his hand, knowing he was just as dangerous as the people I was fighting, but I was done being the victim. This wasn't just a breakup anymore; it was a war.
