What the heart wants:Reincarnator meets transmigrator
"If anything he doesn't love me as much as he loved you, I have seen Asher in love. He becomes the softest and gentlest person to the one he loves, but he isn't like that with me. he thinks he loves me but he doesn't-" "That is because he wants to be loved in return" Sabine stated. Isabelle looked at the other woman, "what do you mean? "That look in his eyes when he stares at you? He loves you so much that he is scared of getting hurt, he is afraid that you would not love him back the way he loves you. If there is something I have noticed with Asher is that he sacrifices himself for me, he did the same thing for Giselle too, but with you, he just wants to be loved back." "And that is supposed to be better? He worshipped you two and for me?" "He didn't worship us, Isabelle, on the contrary, you are the one being worshipped. There is nothing more beautiful in this world than to love and be loved. He did not need us to love him back, he did not require our love but he pines for yours. You can see vividly how he searches and does everything he can to receive even a sliver of your affection. You have more power over his sanity, peace of mind, and happiness than Giselle and I combined wished to have. Isabelle, you have it all, every single part of Asher's heart and soul, and as hard as this is to say, you have to stop breaking it." ****************************** This is a love story, a story of fate and fiction, where lifetimes come to play. Do you believe in soulmates? What if you have to endure three lifetimes to end up with your soulmate? Isabelle has suffered heartbreak her past two lifetimes, even though she only remembers one lifetime. Her fate was so twisted she ended up the victim of an ambitious author. When her world is turned into a novel she does not end up as the main lead, hence she does not end up with the male lead, what is worse is that she becomes a cannon fodder that ends up dying tragically. She reincarnates when a transmigrator possesses the body of the novel's second female Lead, Sabine. With another chance she falls in love with the male lead, her fiance once again. But just like in her first life he doesn't even notice her as more than a nuisance, in fact, in this life she dies by his hand. Now she has reincarnated for the third time, and she remembers her past life, she knows her life is fiction and made for mere entertainment but she cannot accept such a tragic fate again. In the first life, the male lead ended up with her cousin the female lead, Giselle. In her second life, he was in love with the second lead, Sabine. All this when she had the most claim to him as his fiancee' but he manages to break her each time. In this life, she is not going to make the same mistake. Each time she loves him she dies, but not this time. But what happens when he finally wants her? What happens when he remembers his past lives and confesses that she is the one he has wanted all along? ************************** Make no mistake, this is not your normal storyline. The first volume is written in the first person and the main villain is not introduced till volume two. It is a SLOWBURN romance and the story picks up in volume two. But this author promises it is not a read you will regret. It is different but worth it, a deep storyline with flawed characters who make real mistakes and have real stakes and pressure on them. Stay for the journey and you will never regret reading this at the end, in fact, you won't be able to forget it. A lot of life lessons, but you must be patient through the ride. If superficial and shallow plotlines are what you want then this read isn't for you, but if you are tired of the same old thing then try these. Same concept but with an incredible twist. This author hopes you see this book for what it is. A lesson.
Don't cross the line.
ASHER
It's infuriating, watching her smile and sweet talk to my family members. But at least I can be glad she is expending her efforts elsewhere. Until…
"What are we doing?" My father says loudly, "we've kept you two apart for too long come here, son. You two should get closer."
She glances at me then turns her head and laughs slightly.
"Come now Mr Quing there's no need for that. We have all the time in the world I'd rather use the time I have to get to know you first. You see I don't have a father, it's wonderful that you'll be coming into my life now." She giggles, tucking her hair behind her ears and staring downwards yet again. My jaw lowers at the audacity, just who does this bitch think she is? What, getting a new father? If she wants him she can have him but I'd rather die than share parents with her or anything else for that matter.
Eventually, the day grows brighter and then the bright and intense sun begins to dim and at this point, Isabelle has managed to win over, all my family members. Well, all except one, the family patriarch, my grandfather. That was the only that gave me the strength to withstand this day. She can sweet talk everyone here but those cheap tricks will not work on my grandfather. Think of the devil…
"What is going on here? Everyone seems to be having a good time." My grandfather says as he walks into the garden with his… wow this secretary still works with him. I remember him from fifteen years ago, that is a definition of loyalty right there. Before my grandmother or any other family member for that matter introduces her she steps forward with the biggest smile and the most innocent eyes bowing she greets my grandfather.
"Hello sir, I'm Isabelle Byun of Byun health plus. I have been waiting to meet you ever since my father wouldn't stop gushing about how good of a businessman you are." She stated but, my grandfather said nothing, not initially. watching closely I smiled, she might have had miraculous luck with my family members but she made a mistake with my grandfather. He wasn't one for useless ass kissers.
"So? I'm here now what do you want?" He asked bluntly.
"Eh?" She replied with raised brows. "You said you have been waiting to meet me, so? Now I'm in front of you what do you want?"
This is it, what would she say? I wondered although I am pretty sure at this point she will only crash and burn. So what if she won over the rest of my family? Grandfather is the only one that matters.
"I wanted to check something…" she began but my grandfather cut in, "what? If I was as good as your father said? Why? So you can marry my grandson and get access to, wealth?" He replied with a straight face, showing no emotion at all. That is it, grandfather, rip her apart and see the disgusting greed that lurks beneath.
"No, as you heard before I am a Byun and not just any Byun the heir to the Byun health plus group. I have so much money I can stop working and my grandchildren children wouldn't have to worry about anything. I came to check if you were as good a person as you are a businessman. My father also gushed about that" She replied still wearing that bright smile and those innocent eyes that only makes me more annoyed because I know it is fake.
Grunting my grandfather stepped closer to her "you are different from the rumours I have heard about you."
"Hey come on grandfather, you should know better than to listen to rumours, you are such a smart man aren't you?" she pouts oblivious to the shock caused to everyone else standing around her. Even I wonder, how can she be so brazen?
SABINE
"Excuse me miss, can I have a word with you?" I say to the 'future daughter in law' as she walks oast to head to the bathroom. Turning to face me I notice an unfamiliar look in her eyes as she stares at me but before I can begin to understand it she masks it as smiles at me.
"Can I help you?" She asks as she faces me completely.
"Yes actually, I need you to apologise." I state bluntly, "If you apologise I'll let go of this quietly."
Her pink lips protrude forward after she swipes her tongue across them to wet them. As though she is trying to brag in front of me about her naturally pink and full lips. "I'm not sure if I understand you?" She says and I sigh, pulling out my phone I play the recording from earlier, focusing on the part where she called me a useless servant.
"Apologise."
I notice that she was startled at first before she scoffed. "You are really brazen aren't you?"
"What?"
"I mean you recorded that? Do you really have no fear or regard for your life?" She asked and I frown and step backwards.
"Are you threatening me miss Byun?"
"No, I'm simply stating facts, you shouldn't do that when you work in such a house, do you know what these people would do to you if they found out?" She says and it's my turn to scoff.
"So what now you care about my wellbeing all of a sudden? Who are you trying to fool?" I retorted.
"You think I don't, if I hadn't done what I did today, said what I said today" she steps forward. "Very much doubt you would still be here wearing that uniform demanding an apology from me."
"I don't believe you, you would never do anything for anyone but yourself." I spit.
"Careful now, you shouldn't cross the line" she warns.
"Oh? I wasn't aware there was one, look here miss it doesn't matter your intention what matters is that you have defamed me and I can sue you for that." I reply and she laughs.
"You seem to know a lot about the law, do you? Fine, you should also know what will happen if you say or do anything against me, not only will you lose in court you will also lose this job. what then? Do you think you can fight me then? No right?" She asks, "f we are done here I need to use the bathroom. Believe what you want but I really did what I did to save you."
