EMPIRE #1 | At The Beginning, He Was Mine (On-going)

Feviene Fryniel Valermosa Brythandel, a college student nearing graduation, shared a house with her husband, Jeff Hellixil Hamilton Velgor McLaren, the heir to the McLaren family fortune and a successful doctor. Their marriage was a product of the alliance between the McLaren and Brythandel families, with Feviene being the last remaining female heir of the Brythandel lineage. Hellix, as the sole heir to the McLaren empire, was in constant danger from his own family members, who sought to eliminate him to claim the inheritance.

For three years, they coexisted in the same house, ignoring each other, going about their separate lives. They weren't a sweet couple, and their interactions were minimal, with no emotional connection. They were strangers, bound together by circumstance. Feviene would often come home to an empty house, Hellix working late hours at the hospital, and she would go to bed alone, not bothering to leave a note or wait up for him. Hellix, on the other hand, would come home exhausted, not noticing the subtle changes in Feviene's daily routine, or caring enough to ask.

But what if fate had other plans? What if a situation arose that would bring them closer together? Would they realize their feelings for each other? Would Feviene want to protect Hellix at all costs? And what if Hellix finally realized he loved his wife? Would they be able to overcome their past and forge a new future together, or would their circumstances tear them apart?
