Chapter 2

I heard the sound of high-heeled footsteps coming from behind me. I turned around and saw Vanessa hurry over with a furious expression on her face.

When she looked around and found the bodyguards who had been hitting me, she frowned.

However, when she saw Josh with his bloody nose, her expression turned worried.

“What happened? Who hit you?”

When Vanessa showed up, Josh’s voice instantly turned soft.

“Nessa, you have to help me!”

“What in the world happened here? Who dares to beat someone else up in the Whitecastle family’s territory?”

She turned to look straight at me.

When I met her shocked gaze, I sighed and struggled to get up.

“You got here right on time, Vanessa! This involves our marriage arrangement. You have to give me an—”

She slapped me before I could finish speaking. The sting of it rooted me to the spot.

“Redmond Day, how dare you hit my husband? Do you have a death wish?”

Looking at Josh, I laughed out of anger and disbelief. I pointed at Vanessa and said, “What gives him the right to call the shots here? Have you gone mad?”

“Josh doesn’t have any bad intentions here. You’re the one who’s gone overboard, Redmond! I never agreed to the marriage arrangement. Why have you come to cause a fuss here?”

I looked at the necklace she wore around her neck. It was called the “Pearl of the Ocean.” My mother had spent fifty million dollars at an auction to get it as an engagement gift for Vanessa.

“You didn’t agree to it? Then, why are you wearing that necklace?”

Vanessa laughed in disdain at that.

“I never asked the Day family for a single cent. It was your family that threw all this money at me. Besides, as my supposed fiance, shouldn’t you be giving me things?”

I was stunned by her twisted logic. Who did she think she was?

“Well, if you’re so disdainful of the engagement gifts we gave you, you can just reject the marriage offer!”

The Day family did not need the money we spent on her, but I was always disgusted by this kind of greed.

Vanessa was shocked that I yelled at her and stumbled a step back. Josh quickly held her steady.

“You’re pregnant, Nessa. You should be more careful. It’s not worth it to get worked up because of that guy.”

My temper flared again after hearing this.

How could Vanessa become pregnant with some other man’s baby when she was supposed to be engaged to me?

“You’d better return all of the Day family’s engagement gifts as soon as possible!”

Vanessa replied, sounding flabbergasted, “Don’t you have a heart, Redmond? I got pregnant while I was still engaged to you! Shouldn’t you take some responsibility? I’ll dissolve the engagement, but I’m not returning the gifts!”

I scoffed and walked menacingly toward her.

Coldly, I said, “You’re greedy, and your man is relying on you because of me. Don’t you both just want the Day family’s money? Well, I’m telling you now that you’re not getting it!”

After comforting Vanessa, Josh grabbed a bodyguard’s baton with a vicious look in his eyes. He swung the baton at me.

“You think you’re so great just because you have money! You’re just a poser!”

I wanted to hit back, but a couple of bodyguards restrained me once again.

“Hit him! Show him who’s in charge!”

The baton landed hard on my body and split my skin.

The bodyguards did not dare to go too far, but Josh kept aiming the baton at my head.

Blood streamed down my face, and I was beaten to a pulp.

Seeing how badly hurt I was getting, the passersby all scrambled away, looking worried.

“Learned your lesson now, punk?”

My body was at its limit. Meanwhile, when she saw me bloodied, Vanessa waved a hand in disgust.

“Enough. He’s learned his lesson.”

She walked forward to stand before me. Condescendingly, she said, “You don’t know how much Josh has suffered because of the marriage arrangement between us. The engagement gifts are just small forms of compensation, and they’ll be used to raise our baby. I still haven’t paid you back for the grief Josh has gone through.”

“How can you be so unreasonable?” I demanded.

“You don’t need to explain anything to this sort of person, Vanessa. He will never understand the love we have,” Josh said.

Seeing the two of them disgusted me. I was already determined to destroy the Whitecastle family.

“How dare you let them do this to me, Vanessa? Do you want to drag your family down with you?”

I was kneeling on the warped linoleum of my trailer, packing my life into a trash bag, when the predatory purr of a luxury SUV echoed through the thin walls. I thought it was a raid, but it was something much worse. Julian Sterling, a federal prosecutor in a charcoal suit, stepped into the mud and bought me from my alcoholic stepfather. He didn't use cash; he used a list of felonies and a legal settlement to trade my freedom for my stepfather's silence. "Throw it away," Julian ordered, pointing at the bag containing everything I owned. I watched my sister's stuffed bear fall into an oil puddle as he forced me into a world of cold leather and silence. By the time we reached Boston, Faith Vance was dead. He forced me to sign papers changing my name to Elara, erasing my past to fit a narrative of Swiss boarding schools and high-society breeding. The horror didn't stop there. The family patriarch, Arthur Sterling, looked at us with hawk-like eyes and issued a command that turned my blood to ice. To avoid scandal, Julian and I were to be introduced as "Brother" and "Sister." Julian's jaw tightened until a vein throbbed in his temple, and when he finally called me "Sister," the word sounded like a curse. I was a prisoner in a mansion with bars on the windows, caught between a "brother" who loathed my existence and a cousin who tried to assault me in my own room. They dressed me in silk armor and expected me to be a doll, a manageable piece of a legacy I never asked for. I sat at a dinner table worth more than my hometown, swallowing oysters that tasted like salt and iodine, while Julian created a physical barrier between me and the wolves. Under the tablecloth, I reached out and squeezed his clenched fist. His fingers uncurled and captured mine in a grip so crushing it felt like a pact signed in the dark. I have a jagged shard of glass in my pocket and five thousand dollars a month to hoard. Julian says the law is a weapon that breaks weak people, but he's about to find out that I'm not a lamb. I'm a survivor, and I'm ready for the casualties.
