Synopsis

Settings: • The Crimson Court: A grand castle filled with secrets, where Olivia resides as the villainess fiancée of Austin, the Duke’s heir. • The Threads of Eternity: A mystical realm where the "Weaver of Fates" resides, controlling the multiverse. • The Hall of Mirrors: A hidden archive containing reflections of all the timelines Olivia has existed in, showing her repeated deaths. • The Fractured Horizon: A collapsing fragment of the multiverse Olivia's survival has affected, where reality itself starts to fray. Blurb: Transmigrated into the body of Olivia Fairmont, a despised villainess destined to die, she finds herself in a timeline unlike any other. Her fiancé, Austin, fiercely protects her; her brothers, Paul and Tom, refuse to abandon her; and her adopted sister treats her with warmth. Determined to understand why her fate has changed, Olivia uncovers evidence of her countless deaths across timelines. As the multiverse begins to unravel, Olivia learns a horrifying truth: her survival may doom existence itself. Can she rewrite her cursed destiny without sacrificing those she’s grown to love? Exposition: Olivia wakes up in a timeline where everything feels…off. Unlike the villainess life she remembers from her past transmigration experiences, she is loved and cared for by her family and fiancé. Uneasy, she begins to notice strange anomalies—fractures in reality, fleeting memories of deaths she shouldn’t remember, and dreams of threads being cut. Inciting Incident: She discovers the Hall of Mirrors in a forbidden wing of the castle and learns about her deaths across hundreds of timelines. There, she also finds evidence that her survival in this timeline is destabilizing the multiverse. A mysterious entity, the Weaver of Fates, warns her that the timeline must be corrected to restore balance, meaning her death is inevitable. Rising Action: • Olivia begins to investigate the anomaly causing her survival, suspecting Austin, who acts strangely whenever she questions their engagement. • She discovers that her brothers and even her adopted sister are working to protect her, but they seem to be hiding something. • In the Threads of Eternity, Olivia learns a shocking truth: her original soul was the first Weaver of Fates. Her essence split into countless fragments to maintain order in the multiverse, and her survival threatens that delicate balance. • She realizes Austin has been trying to save her across timelines, defying the Weaver’s rules, which explains his unusually strong attachment. Climax: In the Fractured Horizon, Olivia confronts the Weaver, demanding to know why her soul was condemned to endless suffering. The Weaver reveals that her original self chose this role to protect the multiverse. However, her survival in this timeline is creating a ripple effect that could cause irreparable damage. Olivia faces a choice: 1. Sacrifice herself to restore balance and save existence. 2. Fight against the Weaver’s control, risking multiverse collapse to forge her own destiny. Denouement: The resolution depends on Olivia’s choice: 1. Sacrifice Ending: Olivia dies, but her loved ones remember her sacrifice and the multiverse stabilizes. Her essence becomes part of the Weaver once again, but her story inspires change in the rules governing fate. 2. Rebellion Ending: Olivia manages to break free of the Weaver’s control, creating a new multiverse where free will trumps predestination. However, the cost is high—she loses Austin, or the new multiverse becomes fragile, requiring constant vigilance. 3. Bittersweet Ending: Olivia strikes a bargain with the Weaver, surviving at the cost of forgetting her loved ones. She lives on in a new timeline but with no memory of the bonds she formed.

Chapter 1Chapter 1: A Strange Awakening

The soft pecking sound of birds outside the tall glass windows was the first thing Olivia noticed as she struggled to be awake. She blinked, her mind was swimming in a cloud, the unfamiliar feelings of warmth and comfort wrapping around her like a blanket. The very large canopy bed she lay in was unlike anything she remembered, its lovely silk sheets and fluffy pillows were a comfort and a serious difference from the cold, hard surfaces she had often found herself waking up on.

Her heart seized as pieces of memories rushed back at once to her, memories of death. Over and over, she had met her end in countless ways: poison at a party, a blade to the heart, drowning in cold waters. Each life ended suddenly, cruelly, and without mercy. The bitterness of betrayal was fresh, as though it had just happened yesterday.

But this? This felt...different.

She pushed herself upright, her hands kept shaking as they held a golden metal to comfort herself. The room was luxurious, decorated in designs of gold and cream. A massive chandelier hung from the ceiling, displaying a soft, warm shine. The smell of fresh flowers coming in from a vase near the window. It was beautiful. Too beautiful.

Her chest tightened as fear came in. This wasn't right. She was Olivia Fairmont, the despised one, condemned to die in every timeline she existed in. Why did this place feel so safe? So perfect?

A knock at the door shocked her and brought her thought to her present, and she quickly wiped her wet palms on the sheets. The door opened with a creaking sound, and a familiar face appeared, Paul, her older brother. His tall stature and sharp looks were unmistakable, but there was something different in his expression. She saw Concern and Warmth in his looks.

"You're awake," Paul said, stepping into the room. "You fainted yesterday, remember? We were all worried about you."

Olivia blinked, her mind racing. Fainted? She didn't remember that. She had no memory of this timeline at all.

Paul moved closer, placing a hand on her forehead. "No fever. That's good. But you should rest more."

Before she could respond, another voice called from the hallway. "Is she up?"

Tom, her younger brother, came into the room, his boyish smile lighting up the place. He carried a tray filled with tea and pastries. "I brought breakfast! Don't worry, I didn't burn anything this time."

Olivia stared at him, her mouth slightly open. Tom had never looked at her like that before. In every life she could remember, her brothers had either been uncaring about her or very wicked to her. But here, they were caring for her like she was the most precious thing in the world.

"Thank you," she replied with her voice shaky. "I—I appreciate it."

Tom placed the tray on the bedside table and ruffled her hair. "Don't scare us like that again, Livvy. You had us worried sick."

Livvy? it felt strange to her, she hadn't heard anyone call her that in a long time.

Before she could think too much about it, another figure came out from the door. Austin. Her fiancé. looking at him alone made her heart seize.

He was as dominant as ever, with his dark hair and captivating blue eyes. But there was no coldness in his looks, no disrespect or quarrel. Instead, he looked relieved and happy to see her present condition.

"Olivia," he said softly, stepping into the room. "How are you feeling?"

She swallowed her saliva hard at the surprises she was experiencing. "I'm fine. Just...a little disorganized."

Austin approached her bedside, his expression was pure care. He moved closer to her and took her hand, his thumb was gently rubbing against her own palm. "You gave us quite the scare. Please, let us know if you need anything. Your well-being is my top priority."

Olivia's head turned in amusement. This wasn't the Austin she remembered. The Austin she knew had once ordered her execution in cold blood. What was happening?

"Thank you," she said, forcing a smile. "I'll be fine."

Austin nodded, his lips curving into a small smile. "Good. I'll let you rest, but I'll check on you later."

As he left the room, Paul and Tom followed, promising to return soon. Olivia was left alone, her mind was a storm and a mixture of both confusion and unease.

She moved her legs over the side of the bed and stood, the cool marble floor sending a cold chill into her body. She kept moving up and down in the room, trying to put together what was going on. Why was everyone treating her so kindly? Why did this timeline feel so...perfect?

Her gaze fell on a desk near the window. On it sat a jewelry box, a notebook, and a beautiful golden key. The key caught her attention immediately. It seemed to shine faintly, a soft golden light vibrating from its surface.

Curiosity increased in her, and Olivia reached out and picked it up. The moment her fingers became close to it, a strange warmth spread through her hand. She felt a pull, as though the key was calling to her, guiding her somewhere.

Her breathing increased. What was this? Why did it feel so familiar?

A knock at the door suddenly sounded which made her jump, and she quickly kept the key in her pocket. "Come in," she answered, her voice became more steadier than she felt.

Lila stepped inside, her delicate looks covered by soft curls. Her adopted sister's smile was warm, but Olivia couldn't shake the unease growing within her.

"I thought you might like some company," Lila said, sitting on the edge of the bed. "You seemed...troubled earlier. Is everything alright?"

Olivia hesitated. Could she trust Lila? In past timelines, Lila had often been a wildcard—sometimes a friend, sometimes a betrayer.

"I'm fine," Olivia said carefully. "Just tired."

Lila's gaze softened. "If you ever need anyone to talk to, I'm always here for you. We all are indeed."

The sincerity in her voice caught Olivia off guard. She nodded, offering a small smile. "Thank you, Lila."

As Lila left, Olivia's hand instinctively went to the key in her pocket. Whatever this timeline was, it held secrets. And she was determined to uncover them.

She looked at the hidden passage she had noticed earlier in the room. The key in her hand seemed to vibrate again, almost pushing her toward it. Taking a deep breath, Olivia walked toward the passage, her heart continued pounding.

Whatever was inside and beyond, she was ready to face it. This timeline might be perfect, but perfection always comes at a cost. And Olivia Fairmont was no stranger to paying the price.

As she pushed open the hidden door, a burst of cold air rushed out, and the air came out with a small sound of whispers. The golden key in her hand shone brighter, displaying a dark, spiraling staircase that seemed to go down endlessly into the unknown.

One Wild Night

Lucinda Perry, a social recluse and a workaholic, makes a pledge to herself to go all wild on her twenty-fifth birthday and even score a one night stand if she gets her long deserved promotion at work. Few days to her twenty-fifth birthday, she gets promoted to not just a higher position but to the head office in a different city. Having to spend her birthday night in a new city, she goes to the club where she meets a very handsome stranger, Thomas Hank, who offers to be her one night stand after catching a glimpse of her dare-to-do list, which included having a one night stand. Thomas Hank, after having been used by several ladies in the past, is bent on getting the lady of his dreams who would love him for himself and not his wealth. So when he meets the cute and naive Lucinda Perry at the club, he decides to keep his true identity from her and find out if she was worth keeping. ***Excerpt*** What is more entertaining than a crazy side character? Say hello to Sonia and Bryan. Sonia's heart stopped beating for a second, and then different thoughts started flying right through her head at that same time. Bryan Hank? Her celebrity crush was kneeling right in front of her and asking her to be his wife? Was he mistaking her for someone? Was it possible this was a skit, or maybe this was like one of those celebrity pranks, and there were cameras around, waiting to capture her make a fool of herself? Or perhaps she was dreaming? Sonia wondered as she looked around them, but all she saw were curious onlookers. "Please! Be my wife and make me the happiest man on Earth," He said in a very loud voice that caught the attention of everyone. Her editor who she had been waiting on for over an hour because he was trying to sign a deal with a movie producer who was interested in one of her stories, showed up at that moment, "Sonia, you know Bryan Hank?" Her editor asked in genuine surprise as he watched the scene before him. It seemed like an hour had passed since Bryan went on his knees, but it had only been a minute. Bryan knew no lady would be crazy enough to accept such a crazy proposal, and even if any were, paying her off and calling off the whole thing would be easy since all he wanted was the scandal that could come from this. The headlines were either going to be about his rejected Marriage proposal or his supposed engagement, which would be enough to let Sophia off the hook. "Yes!" Sonia said as she bobbed her head excitedly and extended her finger for him to wear her the ring. "Yes?" Bryan asked in confusion when he heard her response. "Yes! I will be your wife and make you the happiest man in the world!" Sonia said with a giggle and wiggled her fingers until Bryan slid the ring down her finger. Surprisingly the ring was her exact size, and it sat on her finger like it was made just for her. The sound of applause erupted all around them as Sonia stood up with a big smile on her face and embraced Bryan before kissing him right on the lips. Bryan was slightly taken aback by her boldness but quickly recovered since this was his game, and he had to play along. He was the one who had approached her first, after all. So when she tried to break the kiss, he held her chin and slowly nibbled on her lower lip before parting her lips with his tongue and sucked on it in a teasing manner, eliciting a moan from Sonia. Sonia felt light-headed. This was too good to be true. It just had to be a dream. How else could she explain that one moment she was seated at the lobby of a hotel waiting for her editor, and the next she was engaged to her celebrity crush and was kissing him right here in the open?

His Naughty Lessons

[ Caution: High Heat Advisory ] “Harper, stop undressing me with your eyes. The plot isn’t going that way… YET.” Harper McKenzie, a newbie web novel author, has a problem — she struggles with romance scenes. As someone with almost nonexistent real-life experience in the matter, she can’t get the intimate chemistry right, and those chapters always come out dry and cringy. Fortunately for her, Harper finds a freelance editor willing to workshop her writing. But the surprise? That editor turns out to be her childhood friend and the very first crush of her life. What happens now when he offers her personal lessons on how to write the hottest romance … and love scenes? -------------- Note: this is a fun, cozy, sweet story with a low-drama plot. No love triangles, no misunderstandings, no memory loss / car accidents / terminal illnesses / etc.. Mature content abounds, starting out soft but heats up quickly. You’ve been warned! -------------- Sneak Peek: He slid her bra over her shoulders and, with impossibly quick and skilled work, tied the lacy garment around her wrists. “Spread your legs wider,” he ordered. Harper’s already faltering heartbeat faltered some more. The command in his tone was foreign, but it crashed over her like a heat wave, and even though she could barely begin to picture how salacious she must look, with her hands bound and thighs spread wide like an offering to be ravished, she could feel the scorching need coiling hotter and hotter in her core. Her body obeyed eagerly on its own accord, bringing herself fully open just like she was told. Eli grinned. Moving between her legs, he trailed hot kisses along her inner thigh, leaving sizzling little fires crackling in its wake. “Good girl. Now, what should your character say next?” A finger glided over her wet and wanting flesh in a slippery stroke, making her heart slam to a hard stop as a moan tore free. “Write the next line for me, what should I say before I unravel you with my tongue and make you scream my name?”
