The Devil's Ember

Emberline Stark felt like an idiot. She had lost her wealth. Her Fiancé. Her name. Her self. All in one day. She wanted to end it all, to stand on that bridge and give it all up. But just before she leaped, a hand grabbed her. Now she is forced into a contract marriage with the nation's play boy and a modelling career. But when she discovers her husband's true identity, she must choose between her soul and her dreams. **** "I promise I didn't gawk...much." he said with a smirked. My cheeks went from red to super hot and I said the one word that came to my head, "Pervert!!!"

Dazed

"Ugh... why do I feel like I've been hit by a truck..." I groaned, my hand instinctively reaching for my throbbing head as I kept my eyes tightly shut. What happened?

My body felt like it had been through a battlefield, each muscle protesting with every move. Was I dead?

Slowly, I forced my eyes open, squinting against the harsh light filtering into the room. As my vision adjusted, I took in the exquisite surroundings. The bedroom was larger than the little bedroom I was in at the Stark house. Its walls were pale blue, and delicate white flowers with red buds were sketched on the walls. I would have thought it was tacky but the furniture and rugs complimented it so well. Now the question was, how had I found myself in such an exquisite room? 

The opulence of the furnishings contrasts sharply with the haze of my memories.
