the rachel papers novel

Synopsis: In my first life, I was a broke background character who died after slipping on a banana peel (tragic). In my second life, I reincarnated into a fantasy novel… as the villain’s wife?! The cold, cruel villain everyone fears — Theodore Hellgrave aka “The Blood Tyrant.” But plot twist: the villain isn’t just obsessed with world domination. He’s obsessed with me. All I want is a peaceful life, maybe open a bakery or something, but this psycho villain keeps spoiling me to death — buying me castles, putting flowers in my hair, threatening anyone who looks at me (even the dog). Every time I try to divorce him, the entire empire trembles. And the worst part? … I think I’m falling for him...

Aarav Malhotra doesn’t believe in love—only control. As the heir to a failing business empire, he agrees to a contract marriage to protect his family’s name and secure his future. Siya Verma has spent her life learning one painful truth: love always comes with conditions. When circumstances force her into the same legally binding agreement, she accepts for one reason only—freedom. Six months. No emotions. No expectations. No love. Their marriage is supposed to be nothing more than ink on paper and perfectly staged smiles. But behind closed doors, the lines begin to blur. Lingering glances turn dangerous, shared silences grow intimate, and emotions neither of them planned for begin to surface. As ambition, secrets, and public scrutiny threaten to expose the truth, Aarav and Siya are forced to confront the risk they never accounted for—falling in love inside a relationship built to prevent it. Because when a marriage begins as a lie, the truth can destroy everything. And when the contract ends, one question remains: Was it ever just business… or was fate waiting for them to sign?

“Here. The damn washroom.” He muttered under his breath. I frowned as I looked up at him. He was staring at me blankly, a scowl perfectly plastered across his face. His grayish-blue eyes burned with a fierce fire, much like Nat’s. A few loose strands of hair fell over his face, softening little to nothing about him. He was really handsome—too handsome. Like a Greek god molded by the gods themselves. They had no right to make him look this unfairly perfect. I felt my cheeks heating up at the thought but snapped out of it when I saw the look he was giving me. Weird Riley.

Inteligente, frívolo, descarado, narcisista incluso cuando le sale un grano en la nariz, Charles Highway, el narrador y protagonista de esta excelente y divertidísima novela, es un joven que, a falta de ritos de paso institucionalizados, se inventa uno por su cuenta y riesgo. Cuando le falta poco para cumplir los veinte años se da cuenta de que todavía no se ha acostado con ninguna mujer, aunque lo haya hecho con montones de chicas de su edad, y decide que su obligación ineludible es tener esa experiencia a modo de despedida de la inmadurez. Pero Charles Highway, niño prodigio y neurótico precoz, es un joven con altas aspiraciones literarias, y lo que pudo haber sido un ligue más se le convierte en una complicadísima operación autobiográfica y autoanalítica que da, como resultado final, este «Libro de Rachel». Un libro en el que tienen cabida desde la revolución sexual, los años setenta y el «rock» hasta el conflicto de generaciones y el propio mito de la juventud, todo ello observado desde un punto de vista satírico y escéptico. A esta actitud rabiosamente moderna se unen una prodigiosa naturalidad y un gran talento literarios, que convirtieron la publicación inglesa de esta obra en un auténtico acontecimiento.

I have been reborn. The first thing I did in my new life was walk into my fiancé’s CEO inauguration party and break off our engagement in front of all of New York's high society. In my last life, he did it all for Sloane, his childhood sweetheart. He publicly declared I had a severe mental illness, branded me as paranoid and jealous, and claimed I reeked of a cheap perfume that suffocated him. For Sloane, his one true love, he had me committed to a private sanatorium. I was broken by a cocktail of drugs and psychological abuse until, with my body and mind shattered, my heart finally gave out. In this life, when he frowned and told me to get out of his sight, I didn't shed a single tear. I just turned and strode away. He said my presence made Sloane unhappy, so I moved to a small cottage by the sea. He said he never wanted to see me again, so I submitted a transfer request and went to the West Coast branch. I flourished in my new life in California and met a mysterious and powerful tech mogul. The moment we appeared together, hand in hand, Caleb Hawthorne completely unraveled. He saw the ring from another man on my finger, and his sanity finally snapped. He blocked my path, his chest heaving as he fought to contain his rage. "Emily, take that damn ring off your hand." I smiled and took a step back. "Didn't you used to despise me?" "And now that I belong to someone else, I'm suddenly a prize worth fighting for?"

Five years ago, Rocco De Santis, Don of Chicago’s formidable De Santis family, proposed ninety-nine times to make me the Principessa of his underworld empire. Today, to appease his jealous mistress, Bianca, he tossed the ninety-ninth divorce paper in front of me. "This is just an act," he warned, a cold, detached smile on his lips. "Play along like you always do. Don't cause any trouble." My heart, worn thin by a thousand smaller slights, was too numb to feel a thing. I knew exactly what day it was. "Are you coming home for dinner?" I asked softly. He paused, then shook his head, a flicker of irritation in his eyes. "No. It's a special occasion. I don't want any drama from her." I nodded, watching as he swept out of the room, flanked by his bodyguards. Then, I picked up the pen and signed my name—Anya Callahan—on that ninety-ninth divorce paper. For the last time.
