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.
What is this sorcery?
"Huh?" I ask both due to my lack of understanding and the simple fact that I couldn't believe that he just asked me that.
Without another word he grabbed my arm so I had no choice to follow after him, once we were outside the cafe his steps slowed, allowing me to fall in step with him. We walked like that for a bit then my mind was blown again! He entwined our fingers and the shock honestly made me tremble, I didn't realize I was looking only at him till he spoke.
"Stop staring at me you'll trip" and I must really be mad to have replied like this.
"Then you'll have to catch me," I say thoughtlessly.
I knew I made a mistake when we stop walking in the middle of the street. Damn, Isabelle "I didn't mean that." I say quickly but he says nothing, he is not even looking at me, so I follow his gaze to a group of boys standing a few feet from us. From the expression on his face I can tell they are not friends, his grip on my hands tightens and he shoves me behind himself.
"Look who we have here…" who I assume to be the boss walks ahead of the rest and shuts the distance between us both. "If it isn't Xavier, you thought I wouldn't find you huh?" He juts his chin out, looking around he exclaims "wow! So you study in this fancy university" he stated.
"But be why he thinks he is smarter than us that didn't graduate high school" another one chipped in and they all laughed, I had already begun to get agitated but it couldn't compare to Xavier.
"Can you skip the crap and tell me what the hell you want already?" Xavier growled.
"You know what
we want, pay me my money or I'll make you pay, I don't care if you have some lady friend over there." The guy gestured towards me and Xavier pushed further behind him.
"Are you serious right now?" Xavier laughed laughter that was deeply laced with anger. "I paid you your loan already, do you think thoughtlessly adding up stupid interests with threats would make me just give you my money. Stay away from me and my gang or I'll be the one making you pay."
Gang?
… he is in a gang? Xavier is in a gang?! The next shocking thing was the common but yet absolutely terrifying sound of the knife, you know the shaing! My eyes widened at the sound and I looked up at Xavier but I couldn't see his facial expression because he shoved that far behind him. Behind sideways, I poked my head from the side of his big body and glared at the bastards that interrupted my walk. Although now I don't know how I feel, was he in a gang back then as well? I know Giselle used him to get to Asher in my previous life would she have approached him if she knew this? Is this the reason she approached him?
"You think a few knives are going to stop me?" Xavier replied bluntly and confidently, that part assuring me.
The other guy laughed, "oh I know all about the fighting skills you snake, but you won't be escaping this time."
My jaw dropped when I saw ten more guys appear literally out of thin air, what is this sorcery?
Xavier looked left and right then he leaned backward and tilted his head at me, "are you okay?"
"Umhmm" it came out more of a squeak "peachy."
He smiled, this guy is mad, yeah I said it. Here I am about to pee my pants and he is smiling? "Don't worry I won't let you get hurt, but in order to fight you going to have to let me go."
"Huh? …oh! I'm sorry" I say letting go of his shirt that I overly stretched with the way I grabbed fistfuls of it. But this was not a movie, there was no way he could fight thirteen guys whilst protecting me and we would get out of this was okay. I absolutely cannot let harm come to this beautiful face so I grabbed his shirt again.
"Don't do it" I say desperately, my eyes meeting his.
"Isabelle"
"excuse me, gentlemen!" I yell stepping out from behind Xavier, immediately he grabs me. "What the hell are you doing?" He asks but I return the favor I smile back.
"You don't want to do this here, especially not in front of me," I say "I own all of this" I gesture to the campus around us. "I have so much money and I will not hesitate to use it okay?" Why do I feel like I made a horrible mistake? The looks they gave have shifted from indifference to curious interest.
"What the hell are you doing telling thugs you have money!" Xavier yells pulling me back to him. Oooh didn't think this out, "fine my bad, we both know this is too dangerous shall we just run away? I know a shortcut just around that corner, in no time will be in the university with security. I am sure they won't be able to follow us in there."
"Okay" he drags out, "we'll make a dash at the count of three," he says and I nod.
"One…"
That was the last thing I heard, I swear I don't know how but my body moved on its own, I ran like my life depended on it because it did. He is going to hate me! I knew, if I was him I would hate me but that didn't stop me from running. I absolutely cannot die yet Xavier, I hope you understand.
