Synopsis

Raylen Vale seems to lead a charmed life. He heads multiple multi-million dollar enterprises, is married to a beautiful and dedicated ex-model wife, and has two adorable children. What's more, he's achieved all this before the ripe old age of thirty-five. Unlike most successful CEOs, he's still young and handsome even when standing beside his gorgeous wife. It's no wonder that the media loves to fawn over his picture-perfect family. So why does he return every winter solstice to the abandoned and unvisited grave of one Delaney Sackville-West? And why does he demand the dearly departed to "Look at me living well while you rot into nothingness" as he paces before the tomb? And why, despite his harsh words, does he envy the soil that gets to wrap itself around her body? Trigger warnings: Suicide, eating disorders.

Chapter 1A Perfect Life (Livia)

Surrounded by cheering spectators, her husband, and her adorable twins, twenty-seven year old former supermodel Livia Astor is happy. 

She has everything a woman can ask for—beauty, fame, children, wealth, and love.

At this moment on the 23rd of August, her life is perfect. Nothing can interrupt her bliss. She will not allow it.

She is so immersed in her joy that she is hardly paying attention to the football match she is spectating. 

The Skyline Defenders are winning their first competition in seventeen years. What has changed? Her younger toddler, Cornelia, developed a fondness for the team's brightly-coloured uniform. A few words to her husband, and the Skyline Defenders changed ownership.

Under her husband's leadership, the football team is quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with. Indeed, Raylen Vale has not just the golden curls of Apollo but also the golden touch of King Midas—every company, enterprise, project, hobby he touches becomes successful.

Livia rests her head against her husband's broad shoulder as the Skyline Defenders score their winning goal. He presses a kiss into her dark red waves and murmurs something about how nicely the scent of her new shampoo complements her beauty. The twins—Cornelius and Cornelia—are too engrossed by the footballers to disturb this moment of romance between their parents.

The Vales look like a picture-perfect family, and they are.

At the end of the games, reporters rushed up to Raylen, eager to find out how he has managed to turn the Skyline Defenders around in such a short amount of time. Livia takes her proper place beside her husband as he stands before the sea of "Mr Vale this" and "Mr Vale that."

Out of habit, she scans the reporters. She does not suspect her husband's character and loyalty to her, but she is not naïve enough to believe in the innocence of strangers. Especially the innocence of unknown young ladies.

Today, none of the reporters look especially striking. Just normal girls with normal looks and normal jobs. One does seem a bit on the pale and sickly side, but such girls never become the mistresses of rich men. From the looks of it, she cannot even beat her fellow reporters in speed, friendliness, and professionalism.

But Raylen Vale is a kind man. And as he turns towards that reporter—likely some newbie or intern—he kickstarts the beginning of the end of beauty queen Livia Astor's flawless life.

PAMPERED BY MY THREE BROTHERS: THE RETURN OF THE NEGLECTED HEIRESS

Penny has three brothers: one is a billionaire CEO, the second is the youngest military lieutenant, and the last is a successful actor. These three successful men had only one common ground: bullying Penny, their sore-eye of a little sister. The sister they never wished to have, and the one who claimed to be their real sister, while the sister they treasured all this time was a fake. After living a life of maltreatment in her aunt's home, some people of high standing came to Penny with news of her real parentage. She thought she was finally saved from her aunt’s clutches, unaware that what awaited her was worse. At 13, Penny only wished for one thing: for her brothers to love her and treat her like family, just as much as they loved their fake sister. She worked and studied ten times harder than anybody else just to be accepted by them. In her desperation, she foolishly fell into a trap set by a malicious person, not knowing her actions would result in the downfall of her brothers and her ending up in jail with a death sentence. On her execution day, Penny had only one thought in mind: If she ever got to go back in time, her brothers could pamper their fake sister for all she cared! She wanted nothing to do with them! And much to her surprise, Penny found herself back on the day it all began: the day she was born. As promised, this time, she wouldn’t foolishly try to earn her brothers' love and affection. Never mind family! She’d just make a lot of money, live in luxury, and make a family of her own! But wait, why is it now that she didn’t want anything to do with her brothers, they kept poking their noses into her business? Weren’t they supposed to pamper their fake sister? Why won’t they leave her alone?! And how on earth was she married in this lifetime? To make matters worse, this husband she never had in her first life was suddenly volunteering to be the father of her children?!
