No Romance, Please
Fate or accident? I don't know what it was. It played a cruel trick in my life and one day, I was not living anymore. I died! I got transmigrated into my favourite novel, ‘Romance, Please’! (Ok, I agree that it's not a good title but still, I used to love this story.) In the book universe, I pretended to be a princess, started to live in the palace, and even got my very own platinum tiara. I lived much better than in my previous life. But I had to pay the price... The book I loved the most wanted me dead, just for the sake of another character’s development. I had to die in two years, again for the story to progress. Should I wait and watch for the plot to kill me? That's not me! I just chose to rewrite the novel from scratch, together with the villain. Fates started to change. I was made into a queen, the sole ruler of my kingdom. Then again, I had to pay the price. This time it was to sacrifice my love. Plot twist, No Romance, Please, cause it's injurious to health. ************************************************************ Warning: This is a twisted, erratic, nonsensical romance book.
Lost Game
Victor's eyes flickered with a strange light listening to me. He continued to look at me with a knowing gaze. I could say my words didn't affect him like they used to. Not this time.
"You sure underestimate her a lot, Alastair," at last he said squinting his eyes. "She had always been different," he said concluding his point.
I knew he was right. I knew he was telling me the obvious thing in the world. She was different and that was the problem. She was capable enough to take all his misery out of his life and had given him a brand new one filled with happiness and hope. It was something that never happened to me.
I might also have got this new life and get to live in this world again. This time Edward was nowhere near Flora so I had no problem loving her as well. Still, something was off balance and I couldn't understand what it was. I couldn't be happy as this Victor. I was nowhere near him.
With a sigh, I turned around and walked to the window.
