Chapter 1

Sophie gasped, her hands instinctively covering her mouth as she witnessed the gruesome crime unfolding before her eyes. Peeking through the bathroom door, she trembled, hoping not to be discovered. Theodore relentlessly stabbed the man lying in a pool of blood, completely unaware of the watcher. "Dispose of the body," he commanded, and two men dragged the lifeless figure out of the room while another cleaned the bloodstains. Theodore placed the dagger by his bedside and massaged his temples to calm himself. Realizing his shirt was covered with blood, he headed towards the bathroom. He was stunned to find it locked from the inside. Demanding his men to break down the door, they struggled but eventually succeeded in forcing it open. Inside stood a terrified maid, shaking in fear. Theodore knew she must have witnessed the crime. he grabbed his dagger and without a second thought, slayed her.

Sophie regained consciousness in a fog-filled white room. "Is this heaven?" she pondered, scanning her surroundings. Suddenly, a woman appeared out of nowhere. She wore a radiant purple gown adorned with floral patterns and a fiery crown atop her head. "Who are you? Where am I? Am I dead?" Sophie bombarded the mysterious woman with questions. "One question at a time," the woman replied, her voice a harmonious blend of melodies. Sophie repeated, "Am I dead?" The woman replied, "Yes and no. Yes, because you have passed away, and no, because you shall be granted another chance." Perplexed, Sophie inquired further, "Another chance? What do you mean by that?" The woman explained that Sophie was unjustly killed but she, as the Reincarnation goddess, possessed the power to imbue Sophie's spirit into another body, granting her the opportunity for revenge against those who wronged her. "How is that possible? How can you give me another chance?" Sophie questioned. With steadfast authority, the goddess revealed her identity and powers. "But does it even matter? I could never take down the Silvers Family, no matter who I become," Sophie murmured. The goddess assured her, "But I won't send you back as just anyone; I will send you back as one of them." Confused, Sophie furrowed her brow, wondering what the goddess meant by "one of them." Sensing Sophie's thoughts, the Reincarnation goddess smiled and clarified that one of the Silvers Family members was teetering between life and death, and it was in that body that Sophie would exact her revenge. Urging Sophie to go, the goddess's voice faded away and everything turned blank.

Sounds of dogs growling and fighting filled the air as a man walked his dogs. They barked uncontrollably and bolted from his side. Curiosity piqued, the man trailed them to an abandoned construction site, where the dogs circled a wounded woman. She appeared lifeless, pale face and dried lips. The man prodded her with a stick, hoping to confirm her demise. With a groan, the woman responded, causing the man to recoil in fear. She sat up, seemingly unharmed, and approached him. Fueled by terror, the man and his dogs fled. "Wait!" the woman called out, realizing her voice sounded different. Ignoring the peculiar sensation, she examined her blood-soaked body. "Did Theo's men dump me here?" She wondered, confirming her identity as Sophie Danvers. Her encounter with the Reincarnation goddess briefly crossed her mind, dismissed as a mere dream. "Reincarnation is just nonsense," she muttered to herself. Covered in blood, she cautiously left the building, choosing secluded paths to avoid attention. Arriving at her house, she discovered it locked. Retrieving the key from under the doormat, she unlocked the door. At that instant, her neighbor Carlos spotted her and exclaimed, "Thief! Thief!" Desperate to explain, Sophie attempted to convey her identity, but Carlos brandished a baseball bat and charged towards her. Sprinting for safety, Sophie led Carlos on a chase through an alley and onto the highway, never looking back. While running, a chariot screeched to a halt directly in front of her, revealing her worst nightmare, Theo. He donned the same blood-stained clothes from earlier, leaving Sophie to wonder if the blood was hers or that of his previous victim. Desperate to flee, she evaded his grasp and cried, "Stay away from me, you monster!" Theo stood shocked, having searched tirelessly for her. Finally finding her, he now faced rejection and was labeled a monster. "Ivory, what's wrong with you? It's me, Theo! Your husband!" he shouted. "Husband?" Sophie questioned, baffled.

Sophie finally got a glance of her reflection in a nearby mirror and truly she did look like Ivory. 

"Come on, let's go home" Theo said and led her to his chariot. She was about to get in when Carlos got to the chariot and made to hit her with the bat, Theo stood in front of Sophie and stopped the bat with his hand.

Carlos began to shiver on seeing that he almost hit Theo Silver, the heir to the throne of Dystopia. "I..I….I'm sorry your highness" he shuttered and shifted back in fear.

Theo shot him a glare and signaled his men to take care of him. "I'm sorry, please forgive me! Please!" He begged as he was dragged away by Theo's men.

Theo helped Sophie into the chariot and ordered his horseman to take them home. The driver drove to the house will full speed and in no time they were there.

Theo carried Sophie in a bridal style to their room and laid her gently on the bed. "You just stay here, I'll go call the doctor" Theo said and left. Sophie just laid there while staring at the ceiling in shock. She couldn't believe what was happening, how was it possible that she looked like Ivory?

The doctor arrived moments later and examined her. He wrapped a bandage around her head and prescribed some drugs for her.

"You seem to have developed amnesia ma'am, I have to relay this to your highness" the doctor said and left. "Amnesia? But I still remember who I am"
