Chapter 3 - The Stolen Crown

As Sarah stood trembling in the grip of the elegant manager, her mind flashed back to the horrifying nightmare that had ruined her life fifteen years ago.

When Sarah was thirteen years old, she had been kidnapped by a brutal cartel and thrown into a freezing, pitch-black basement. She wasn't alone. Chained to the wall next to her was a wealthy teenage boy whose family was being held for ransom.

For weeks, Sarah had protected that boy. When the kidnappers came down with a branding iron to torture him, Sarah had thrown herself in front of him. The searing hot metal had burned a distinct, twisted crest directly into her forearm, marking her for life.

When the police finally raided the compound, the explosion knocked Sarah unconscious.

When she woke up in the hospital, her life was entirely gone.

Monica, her greedy, manipulative foster sister, had discovered what happened. Realizing the boy was the heir to a massive billionaire empire, Monica had stolen the identifying silver necklace the boy had given Sarah in the dark. Monica had marched into the police station, claiming she was the brave girl who had taken the burn for the billionaire heir, stating she had the scar surgically removed.

Monica was swept away into a life of absolute luxury, eventually becoming Julian's fiancée.

Meanwhile, Monica used her newfound wealth to bribe the corrupt foster system, forcing Sarah out onto the streets with absolutely nothing. For fifteen years, Sarah had worked minimum-wage jobs, completely unaware that the man who owned this restaurant was the very boy she had saved.

Until tonight.

Monica knew exactly who Sarah was. She had deliberately hired Sarah as a waitress just to torture and humiliate her, keeping her true savior trapped in poverty.
