Chapter 1Chapter 1

Anastasia slammed her laptop shut, her knuckles cracking in the sudden silence. Eight hours of typing had left her exhausted, but sleep wasn't an option tonight. She had somewhere to be.

After a quick shower, she threw on a bright yellow gown, hoping it might lift her spirits. She grabbed her purse and car keys and dashed out the door, speeding towards the restaurant where she was meeting her fiancé.

An hour passed. Anastasia tapped her foot impatiently, her eyes darting between the door and her phone. Twelve unanswered calls to Williams. Each one sent her deeper into a spiral of anxiety.

She felt the crazy stares around. Swallowing a soft gulp, she hid into the corner, so the dim light would protect her from their gazes.

She called Williams once again. She softly bit her lower lips when she was sent over to the voicemail again.

"Anna_" the very familiar voice she had been waiting for finally resounded.

Anastasia's face lit up. She sat up immediately, and every bone in her smiled again. She forgot the humiliation she had felt a few minutes ago.

She grabbed her camera and stood up. "Williams," she called out with a sweet smile and took a quick capture of him walking towards her.

Williams let out a soft chuckle and ruffled his curly brown hair. His smile never reached his deep blue eyes. 

He reached Anastasia and handed the bouquet he held over to her. He took his seat almost immediately, not giving her the chance to kiss him.

Anastasia closed her innocent eyes and took her seat before him. She admired the flowers and fished the note out.

She flashed him a wide smile when she saw the note. Williams nodded at her smile. For some reason, his eyes turned cold.

Trying to look demure, Anastasia fixed the note back into the flower and placed the flower on the desk.

Williams smiled at her. "You can read the note." He took a sip from the glass of wine Anastasia ordered earlier.

Anastasia nodded. She mustered a smile and picked out the note again. Opening the customized envelope, the brows of her eyes furrowed when she saw a wedding card.

She met his eyes and forced out a smile. Trusting Williams and the love they shared, she uncovered the card and read through it.

A thousand needles pierced her heart immediately, and her hands began to tremble. It looked like a joke. No, this should be an innocent joke.

"You fixed a wedding date for us already?" She forced a shaky smile, trying so hard to downplay the obvious.

Williams raised a brow at her and dropped his glass on the table. He sat up and stared at her with squinted brows.

"Are you blind? Or have you simply forgotten how your name is spelled?" He dragged the card from Anastasia and stared at it to make sure he gave her the right card before throwing it back at her.

His jawline hardened. "I'm getting married to your sister two days from now," he dropped the bombshell.

That wasn't funny, but Anastasia laughed until she almost cried. 

She continued laughing to the point the people in the restaurant tilted their heads toward her.

Her laugh died down gradually, and fear filled her eyes. "I know my sister and I are twins. However, you mistook us to be the same person. She's Kathryn and I'm Anastasia." 

Her eyelashes flickered violently when Williams said nothing but fixed his cold stares on her. She immediately picked up her glass of wine, to keep her hand busy.

Her hands won't stop trembling.

She let out a soft laugh and pushed her wine glass away. "Talk to me, Williams. Says something,"

She has never been at the receiving end of Williams' cold glare. This was her first time, and it strangled her.

"I'm getting married to your sister two days from now," he repeated his words from earlier.

Anastasia's hands began to tremble. Her whole body joined afterward. She trembled so badly that she had to clutch the table for support.

Tears began to roll down her eyes. She immediately wiped them off and fixed her eyes on Williams. "Did I do something wrong?"

He didn't flinch for once, and it scared her. The Williams she knew had never sat down so unbothered while watching her cry.

She racked her brain, trying to understand why this happened. She can't remember having a major argument with him.

She spent a lifetime giving him her heart. Anastasia had hoped to be loved by him forever. She had the best time falling in love with him.

She has loved him since she was 16. She had the best time giving him her heart. What changed?

Clearing her throat, Anastasia tried to have a conversation. She needed to know why. She deserves an apology, even if she doesn't want to ask because of a scene. "Is this the reason why you laughed at my dreams and rolled your eyes at my jokes?"

Williams traced the rim of his wine glass. "I guess I just miss the way your sister kisses." he let out a small laugh at the end, obviously enjoying himself.

"Where's my sister?" 

Her sister's hate was understandable. Not William's sudden hate and switch.

Williams shrugged his shoulders lightly. "Preparing for our wedding." he ran a hand through his hair and smiled warmly. "I'll do you the favor of thinking about you from time to time. At least, whenever I'm lonely."

Anastasia's tears rolled down. "Williams_" she sniffed. "Don't you think this is too sudden? We can fix this. Please. Please don't leave me," she begged pathetically, repeatedly choking on her tears.

She went on. "I survived living because you were with me…" She fell to her knees and desperately crawled over to Williams. "Please_"

She was cut off when Williams poured the wine his glass held on her. From the center of her head down to her face.

He drew his leg back to himself. "Remember this moment." he leaned towards her, gripped her chin, and forced her to look at him. "I'm your hero. I always will be."

Picking up her camera, Williams took multiple snaps of her pathetic situation. He shoved the camera into her hand.

Anastasia pushed away from him. She sobbed painfully, not minding the occupants of the restaurant.

William stood up from his seat. He straightened his suit and nodded softly like a gentleman. "This will be the highlight of that day. Perhaps a hobo as pathetic as you are would want to kiss you." he left the restaurant afterward.

Anastasia stared at the flowers and the wedding card on the floor. Her heart tightened, and she knew she was dying. Death by a thousand cuts.

Transmigrated Into The True Heiress

Eira Kingston, a feared assassin, never imagined that death would lead her to transmigrate into the body of Ephyra Allen, the disgraced first daughter of the once-powerful Allen family. But what shocked her even more was the soft mechanical voice in her mind, addressing her as "master" and informing her that her soul had returned to its original body. Eira dismissed the strange voice, thinking she was having a post-death hallucination. But waking up in a hospital, with memories that weren’t hers flooding back, she was forced to confront the truth. Ephyra’s life had been nothing short of a nightmare. Despite being the legitimate daughter, she was labeled a bastard, shunned by all, and overshadowed by her scheming stepsister, who had stolen the love of her father and her betrothed. To make matters worse, the wealth and status the Allen family enjoyed were all thanks to Ephyra’s late mother, and the only reason she hadn’t been discarded entirely was due to her mother’s inheritance, locked away until she turned eighteen. But Eira wasn’t one to be defeated by circumstances. If she was going to live Ephyra’s life, she would do so on her own terms. She would destroy those who had caused Ephyra pain, claim the inheritance that was rightfully hers, and find out who was behind her own death. Because if there was one thing Eira knew how to do well, it was to survive—and make her enemies pay. However, being a high-schooler with nothing to her name wasn’t enough. As Ephyra, she’s powerless, but as an assassin, she’s lethal. Still, even that wasn't enough until she became the contracted wife of Lyle Aelion—a powerful, enigmatic figure in the business world with a secret illness. And it turns out, the only thing that can relieve him is her scent.

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."
