Synopsis

Eleanor Thorne, a wealthy heiress, is despised by everyone, even her own family. Despite the constant negativity, she thrives through sheer determination and ambition. However, her life takes an unexpected turn when a drunk driver crashes into her car, sending her soul hurtling into the pages of a Victorian romance novel she once read. Eleanor awakens in the body of Evelyn, the villainess wife of the Duke of Blackwood. In the novel, Evelyn is destined to be killed for her relentless harassment of the heroine, Amelia. Armed with this knowledge, Eleanor vows to rewrite her fate. Adapting to the strictures of Victorian society proves challenging, but Eleanor's modern sensibilities clash with the established norms. As she navigates the intricate social circles, she encounters the stoic Duke, whose initial coldness gradually melts away, revealing a potential for connection. However, escaping her predetermined villainous role isn't as simple as she anticipated. The deeper she delves into the story, the more she uncovers hidden truths. Amelia might not be the innocent victim she appears to be, and the reasons behind Eleanor's ostracization in both worlds begin to intertwine. Eleanor must confront her own past mistakes and prejudices while navigating the complex web of societal expectations and blossoming love. Can she break free from the shackles of her predetermined fate and find redemption, not just in the eyes of others, but within herself?

The Dark Vampire's Queen

Vampires have always been real, lurking in the shadows, hunting and feeding on humans and even capturing some humans they use for their enjoyment and pleasure. Every few days, a bunch of people would go missing, only to turn up a few weeks later, dead, with hideous bite marks or even decapitated bodies. But then.....Why is the government always shutting out this kind of news, even going as far as decommissioning News Agencies that spread this type of information??. ********** Jane Harvey was your next door type of girl, down to earth, polite and sweet, and always cheerful, always bringing smiles to the face of people she meets. She was gradually approaching the dreaded and the most anticipated age of 18, the age where she could finally go out to parties, hang out with friends as late as she could and the most importantly, get a job at the hospital she always wanted to work at. The day of her birthday was also the day her school, Young Age Royal Academy, a third rated only girls school, organised a field trip for their class, something she had always been anticipating. Getting up early, her day started on a sour mood when her favourite dress got torn, due to her own carelessness and it only got worse when her single and depressed mother forgot it was her birthday. On getting to school though, she managed to cheer up, as her goofy friends always knew what to say to get her going again. The field trip was interesting for a while, until all hell broke loose. The driver seemed to lose control of bus, as it sped headfirst towards a ditch, slamming heavily into it. === Opening her eyes, she found herself in a dark room, the only source of light a flickering fire torch hanging on the wall, the strange heat from the fire bringing chills down her spine. Trying to stand up, she realised she couldn't, as she had being chained down to the floor, the heavy chains weighing her arms down. Looking around, she gasped in disbelief, as a wave of nausea hit her, only managing to quench it by swallowing hard. On the floor of the room she was, just right beside her, was a body, pale as paper, with bite marks all over it. The strange thing about the body was that, she recognised it!. It was her classmate, Hailey!. Managing to hold back the tears, she looked around the room for something to give her a clue about where she was, when she spotted a protruding piece of metal that looked like a spike, just a few inches from her. Shuffling, she approached the spike carefully, as she wondered where she was, and what happened to her classmate. The spike finally in reach, she grinded the chains bounding her on it, tiny sparks emanating from the reaction. An unknown amount of time later, Jane, covered in sweat finally managed to cut through the chain, the heavy thud of the chain on the ground a sound of freedom for her. Crouching on all fours, she wobbled around the dark room carefully, making sure to not make a sound and most importantly, hoping she doesn't encounter whatever had gotten her classmate. "A feisty one aren't you??", an amused voice sounded from a corner of the dark room, shocking her so bad, she bit her tongue in fear. The voice seemed to come straight from the depths of hell, and also from the highest of heavens. The echoing of footsteps gradually approached her, as she shuffled back, fear gripping her. She only managed to shuffle a few feet back though, as she was soon caught up to, the sense of death thickening around her. Looking up, she managed to catch a glimpse of a man in the dark , dark hair, long, chiseled face, sharp jaw, and the strangest thing she noticed, his eyes. His eyes seemed to be glowing dangerously, the danger in them sending alarm bells into her brain, but her body couldn't move. She shouldn't move, such beautiful red eyes were looking at her, it would only be blasphemous if she ignored the eyes, her mind told her. "How would you like to be my little blood bag??", the man spoke again, an entranced Jane nodding dumbly.
