During her final assassination mission, she was killed by an explosion from her past life as an assassin. Her eyes opened to discover that she had become a 24-year-old woman. Indeed, she had been transported into a novel she had read in a previous life. Lydia, a side character in the novel, was killed by assassins sent by her sister. However, after seeing him twice or three times in three years, her contract husband marries happily at the end of the novel. And in addition, she wasn’t even mentioned, nor did he care about her after her death. ****** The darkest of times can unleash the worst in human-and also the best. In her past life, Lydia lived through those times. Forced from home to be an assassin, separated from her mom and friends for years, she experienced things that no child should ever experience. While they used her in a previous lifetime, she is now loved in this lifetime. Her contract husband, who had never been interested in her, now sought to see her every second of the day. With such beauty, who wouldn’t want her. But before he saw her and paid attention to her, it wasn't the case for Daniel. The only reason he married her was for the rumours of him being gay to stop spreading between his family members. His mother always set him up with blind dates, but one day he decided that the woman he will meet today will be his wife. Having never reneged on his words, he married her in a 'contract marriage' that she consented to. After Lydia returned to her country, Daniel Thompson, the CEO of many companies in the world as well as the ruler of the entire underworld, started treating Lydia like a jewel that could only be found in a hundred years. Despite his promise not to fall in love, Daniel falls in love with her. It's the same thing with Lydia. What happens when both of them confess their love to each other? Little treasure (little Xander) is not her son, but he is her stepson. That's what Daniel told her. During this life, she treated him as a treasure and he reciprocated. *Expert When Lydia saw the man coming out of an expensive car, her face turned pale. His dark eyes were as cold and penetrating, but his face was as handsome as she remembered. As he walked towards her, his lips formed a devilish smile, causing her heart to flutter. "Why don't you return with me, sweetheart?" his voice was husky as he beckoned her to come closer. "I'm not your wife. I signed a contract with you but that doesn’t mea..." Lydia played along but her eyes were scanning her surroundings for escape when her voice was cut by a cute one. “Mama, could it be that you don’t love me anymore and you want to leave me again” The kid was trying to act as his dad told him earlier. He looked sad so that he could bring mommy home. Little Xander also made to show his mommy his puppy-like eyes. Lydia didn’t think this man would bring her angel with him, but how can she say no to him when he was making a cute face?!! ***** See how Lydia's life changes, the sad, the happy, the dangerous, and the mysterious moments that await her. Discover how she changes her whole life to the best one. Let’s break the ‘word guessing’ and start reading. I don't own the cover, all credit goes to the original artist...

"The boss wants to talk to you," the bodyguard said.
She looks at them with a hesitant expression on her face.
In a serious voice, she replied, "I'd rather go back to my room or speak to that dumbass.".
Daniel heard everything she was saying on the other end of the phone.
Daniel was known for his impatience, so he told Lydia, "Take the phone or you'll regret it.". Their spines tingled as his words rolled down their throat.
In contrast, Lydia was worried that he would destroy every household because she refused to answer his calls.
She said tiredly as she picked up the phone.
"What do you want,"
The angry Daniel, trying to remain calm, replied, "What I want.".
"You called many, so many times, don't you have something to say, if you don't, then bye-bye," Lydia said with the same tone as before, ready to end the call.
As Daniel went to take out his anger, he slammed his hands on his desk.
As he struggled to contain his anger, he said, "You dare end the call and see what I do with you tomorrow.".
Despite Lydia's best efforts to not laugh, she couldn't control herself anymore and bawled very loudly. "Don't get angry, you'll get diabetes," Lydia said earnestly.
As he finished his sentence Lydia smirked. "I just wanted to check on you," he said.
"After checking on me, is there anything else you need?" Lydia said as she was waiting for him to answer.
"Yes, I'm glad I took the time to check on you. Do you need anything?" he asked.
'In truth, all I want is to eat, watch TV, sleep, and enjoy life to the fullest, but because of you. I can't even think properly,' Yup, true like clear water.
"Why should I want anything from you? Just keep it to yourself." Though she does need many things, the last thing she would want to do is get them from him. She gestured to one of the men in the back that she wanted water. He seemed confusing at first, but then he understood. Then he went to bring her water.
"That's what I expected you to say anyway. Moreover, I will be back in four days. See you then." Just like that. Before he could hit the hang-up button, he heard her scream.
Just after hearing his words, she asked, "What in the world did you just say!". She was handed a cup of water as the man returned with it. She drank it while waiting for him to respond.
"I said I would return in four days, could it be that you're so eager to see me that you can't wait." He said in a proud voice.
Lydia began shocked after hearing his words, then begin coughing.
"Hey, why are you coughing."
Daniel could only hear Lydia coughing as she asked "Are you alright?" he didn't know what had happened, so he assumed she wasn't replying. He then asked the man whom he sent.
"Z, what happened," He asked.
Previously, Lydia was given the phone by a man called Z.
"Sir, the madam choked when she drank water," Z couldn't tell the reason, and besides, who would tell why she choked, so nobody dared to explain. Lydia immediately understood what was happening, so she interpreted.
She told them, "Anyway, you're coming in four days, so how about I come to you. But hold on, didn't you say you will be coming tomorrow?" Without getting an answer, she was about to hang up when she heard him answer.
"I never said that, and besides, it's your choice to come over here. No one is forcing you." He said before he hang up on her.
Immediately, she regretted what she said.
