Synopsis

“Don't feel bad, it's all because you don't know how to play the game of love" “Love isn't a game” Arianna defended, sounding like a child who was trying to prove Santa was real. Nathan looked at her from the corner of his eye, a smirk played on his lips. “It is a game and the sooner you realize that the better, you're never going to get a guy to fall in love with you if you continue to act the way you do” “I know you are my boss and I'm supposed to agree with whatever you say but I can't agre e with this. Love isn't a game and I can make any guy fall in love with me just the way I am” “Okay then prove it” Arianna raised her eyebrow questioningly at him, maybe he was drunk. “Prove it? how?” “Make me fall in love with you” ……..

Chapter 1GHOSTED

The taxi crept along the street like a sleek black panther. Hugging the curb, its engine purred so deep and low it sounded like a predator's growl as it came to a halt.

Arianna stepped out of the cab and paid the cabman, glancing at her phone to check the address one more time to be sure she was at the right place.

"Dredge junction", this was the address so where was Vince. Her eyes wandered the streets in search of her boyfriend who was supposed to be here. She looked at her watch, maybe she was early, the time was already noon, Vince had told her that he would be here by 11:30.

She wore her backpack and sat on an empty bench by the roadside as she waited for her sweetheart.

....

The day was slowly becoming darker, poor Ariana, she was getting tired of waiting but she believed her Vince was going to come. She slept off with the hope that she would be woken up by him.

"Hey lady wake up", an elderly woman said hitting Ariana, the Old woman could not fathom why a beautiful young lady would be sleeping outside by eight o clock in the night.

Arianna opened her eyes slowly, she looked around, why was this woman waking her up, and why was it so dark? These were the questions going through her head. She bent her head slightly as she thanked the woman for waking her up. She couldn't even start to imagine the horrible things that could have happened to her if the old woman had not woken her up from her slumber.

Checking the time on her phone, Arianna sighed, Vince had ghosted her after she had given him $2000 for a free couple weekend getaway though as she thought of it, it didn't seem so free anymore. She boarded a taxi and went straight home.

A bowl of ice cream while binge-watching Korean dramas ought to do the trick, she thought to herself as she brought out a bowl of her favorite ice cream, strawberry. To her dismay, it didn't help to keep her mind away from what Vince had done. He didn't send a single text message or even bother to call her.

Arianna found herself asking,

What is wrong with me?

Why does this always happen to me?

Why must my heart get shattered at every given chance?

She was 24 and all her relationships ended the same way with the guy breaking her heart but that had never phased her. Arianna had a goal, she believed out there was her prince charming, who would sweep her off her feet and love her like no one ever has, and they'd live happily ever after, just like the fairy tales. She was going to find him no matter what even if it meant dating a lot of wrong princes first.

With her goal in mind, Arianna wiped her tears but they refused to stop flowing, she knew her goal but it still hurt to be treated the way Vince had just treated her. Scoop by scoop she ate her ice cream and balled her eyes out until she floated into the land of sleep.

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.

Adedayo, I am incredibly amazed by the setting, theme, plot, and description of the characters. That is a good job you have there!!!. To qualify the book, I'll use the term "great." Vince is such a jerk!. Arianna you deserve better and your prince charming is coming for you, just keep trying. Any guy who treats a girl like trash doesn't deserve a second chance.

I like it! The writing is good. Although a more detailed description would be great. Still waiting for a plot twist though (a plot twist is what draws attention to stories which have common plots)

A rather good start for a romance book. Although I haven't read all of the chapters (only 6), I can tell it has potential in possibly becoming a good novel. Hope Author puts work on it so that it reaches its full potential. After this are major spoilers for what happens initially: === The story starts off with an MC seeking her prince charming despite the heart breaks she encounters. Unfortunately or fortunately, she meets the ML(possibly?) who bumps into her car. And... she later finds out he was her boss... ===

The story is quite good, I love how the author has taken a simple idea and told it in such a pretty manner, in a way that holds your attention. I hope the pacing could be slowed down just a little, otherwise, I'm loving it! need more definitely !!
