Chapter 1The Flip of a Book

"Okay, meeting adjourned." Someone announced. The meeting room which was so quiet since the last two hours became noisy with the students' chatters and the sound of moving chairs.

"Good work today." Althea said with a smile as she nodded her head to each of the students biding their goodbyes to go home. Her long black hair was tied tidily in a ponytail, accentuating her slender neck which was wrapped cozily in a dull grey jacket. She didn't even live in a cold area, yet she always kept her jacket with her in case the weather got cooler.

"Thea, not going home yet?" A guy with a tall stature came and sit by her side. His short hair is being pushed back messily as he ran his hand through it, incompatible with his usually tidy appearance during classes.

"Hmm... No. I wanna stay some time longer." Althea said, jotting down the result of the meeting in her book. Honestly, with her tendency to be calm and quiet but meticulously think and write everything, she thought she's more suitable to be a secretary rather than a vice leader in her organization.

"What's up? A quarrel with your mother?" He asked again as he deliberately bumped their shoulders lightly to mess up her notes.

"Ugh, Lucas, cut it out." she hurriedly straightened the page which got a bit crumpled due to their bump, frowning to the man.

"And no, no quarrel today." She said.

'And hopefully never again'

"That's good then." Lucas laughed and leaned his shoulders on the chair. Lucas is the leader of her organization. Most of the time, especially in front of other students and teachers, he seemed dignified and serious. In actuality, he is someone so moody, and in Althea's standard, a jerk. His abilities to seize every chance to charm girls into liking him is top-notch, thus he managed to date the girls who are into his likings. But once he said, "I'll love them forever", they would break up not long after. If not because of her conscience telling her that she's only a colleague who shouldn't interfere with his choices in life, she would've smacked him on the head every time he made a girl cry. Still, not being able to hit him doesn't mean she wouldn't give him sarcastic remarks.

Althea shakes her head disapprovingly to her leader. Closing her notes, she took out her phone and open the LIME app.

"Oh? You're using LIME now? Since when did you even have, or even know, to buy a data pack?" Lucas stared curiously at her phone screen.

"Ahh, noisy. I bought it a few days ago, okay. Wasn't it you and the others who keep telling me to use social media so I can be contacted?" Althea rolled her eyes at him. Indeed, she never really used any social media other than the Facebook account which her friend made for her long ago.

She didn't feel the need for having one either, as she was too busy. However, many of her friends and colleagues are troubled due to her unavailability in their social media group. Thus, she asked her parents to allow her to buy data pack.

And honestly, the decision pleased her. She is someone who couldn't live without a book, and getting a good book is getting harder as people around her read less. However, she could now access any book she wanted and it wouldn't even use up much of her data. Moreover...

Ding!

A notification popped up and seeing the name, "Ray" as the sender, Althea's eyes brightened up.

Lucas noticed the unusual glow on her eyes and sneaked a peek at her phone.

"Lucas!" Althea glared at her shameless leader. Lucas looked at her dejectedly and whined, "Aww what is it? I was just lonely that you're more focused on your phone rather than me, okay?"

"Yeah? Pretty sure I heard you say it with your last girl too." Althea looked at him like she was just reminded of how much of a playboy he is and stop caring for him. After all, there is a more interesting person waiting for her reply.

"So how did you solve the problem?" She typed.

Ray is a person she knows from her scholarship group. The group is meant for people who aimed to get a scholarship in the world's top university. This group consists of many people from different nations and thus they get to share information on exam dates, requirements, or materials needed for the scholarship selection.

Among around a hundred people there, Ray is the one who took her interest the most. He often solved problems and was not stingy to share his knowledge. Thus, one day when she was troubled over a question, she decided to contact him personally and ask for help. Unbeknownst to both of them, this simple exchange started entangling their lives deeper than anyone ever had.

The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite

Wenyan read a book in which a cannon-fodder character sharing her name was a false heiress. After the true heiress assumed her position, the impostor tried to secure her place in the wealthy family by drugging the eldest son and making a done deal out of a cooked rice, only to be unmasked by the Shen Family and end up committing suicide in despair. Wenyan was furious to see such an ending. How could one not survive without the backing of a wealthy family? Hadn't the family provided her with a luxury house and countless luxury goods? Just selling those off would fetch tens of millions. She was just a hopeless case! If she were the Wenyan in the book, she would have relinquished her position and just lived laid-back like a salted fish! But when she woke up from her sleep, she actually transmigrated into the book. True to her word, she stopped scheming. Overnight she packed her bags, sold her house, car, and bags, and looked for a job. - The entire Shen Family noticed the change in Wenyan, their adopted daughter. Not only had she moved out obediently, but she also never caused any trouble again. Even more bizarre was that they could now see her innermost thoughts! 【Dad, Mom, I never wanted to usurp your nest, but the DNA test results of the true daughter have issues. In fact, she's even more fake than I, the bogus heiress.】 Shen Family parents: ...... Then the long-lost 'daughter' who had been found was exposed as an impostor and taken away by the police for questioning. 【Big brother, that schoolmate of yours is no good, he's a corporate spy, the illegitimate child of the Shen Family's archenemies.】 Shen Family's eldest son: ...... Afterwards, the schoolmate got caught stealing confidential documents and was also taken away by the police for questioning. 【Second brother, you are such a pure and noble person, you mustn't be with the Qin Family's daughter, she's just using you, her heart is actually set on someone else.】 Shen Family's second son: ...... Thank you, I'll look into it. 【And third brother, fourth brother......】 In the end, nobody could have predicted that the Shen Family's most undistinguished adopted daughter would become the pampered daughter-in-law.

Husband With Benefits

Nora is shattered a month before her wedding when she uncovers her fiancé's deceitful affair. As she manages this betrayal, she discovers a deep ploy to hinder her from claiming her rightful inheritance. Devastated but determined, Nora takes a daring step to regain control of her life. Enter Demetri 'The Demon' to those who know him, a formidable man barely known to her, who offers her protection and support in return for a contract marriage to satisfy him. In a twist of fate, Nora marries Demetri to claim her inheritance and fight those who plotted against her. But as she battles her own family and Demetri's many rivals, will she be able to keep from falling for the man known to crush people beneath his booted heel. Excerpt: She had forgotten that the man was intimidating and directly challenged him. Rather than speaking, Demetri rose from his seat and approached her deliberately. Although it was a mere few steps, time seemed to stretch for Nora. When he was almost within touching distance, his hand gently landed on her knee, moving it sideways. His touch moved with a hint of a caress, and he stepped between her open legs. Nora sat there in frozen silence, her eyes wide like a deer caught in headlights. Catching her chin between his fingers, he tilted her face upwards and spoke unhurriedly," You are my wife." She nodded her head slowly in affirmation while his thumb slowly traced her lip. "I have given you time to gather your emotions." Another nod. Nora's nervousness made her lick her lips, acutely aware of his intense gaze fixed upon them. "Your reason for the marriage was to secure your inheritance and get away from under your mother's thumb." "Yes..." Nora whispered in confusion. Her confusion was not about his statement but about the bewildering sensations coursing through her. What was happening with her? "It's time for you to fulfil your end of the contract, yes?" He continued. "Yes," Nora whispered breathlessly. Why was she breathless? Had the oxygen level in the house dropped? Was the air suddenly thinning? Abruptly, his hand left her face, and she watched as he drew closer. It was then that Nora comprehended what was unfolding. All those tantalizing, heart-pounding kisses she had read about in novels were about to possibly become her reality. But the anticipated kiss didn't happen. Instead, he paused near her and commanded, "Kiss me."
