The Villianess story: A 100 ways to kill your husband

{COMPLETED} "Are you not scared it might be poisoned?" Abrielle's asked Cedric who drank the wine without hesitation. Cedric leaned closer to her with his head crooked on her neck, his warm intoxicating breath trickling on her skin. His hoarse voice came out lightly. "If the poison is given by my wife, I will drink it without hesitation. It will be an honour to die in your hands." Abrielle's mouth fell agape, stunned by his words. What was wrong with his head? Cedric then bit the tip of her ear to distract her from her thoughts. "Now I have done your bidding, dear wife; it is time you do mine. How about we get rid of this restriction on your body?" Abrielle's face flushed red. This sly scum. She could not wait to kill him. **** Being transmigrated to your favourite novel would be anyone's dream, well, except for Hazel.

But why does, despite multiple attempts of trying to kill this heartless prince, he refuse to die and just keeps on bothering Abrielle? He should be interested in the female lead and not the villainess! Why don't you join this epic journey and see how Abrielle's and Cedric's story unfold?

Starting with an interesting description can also be very effective. You could describe a setting in a vivid way, like 'The old, creaking house stood at the end of the overgrown lane, its windows like dark, empty eyes staring into the night.' This kind of description sets the mood for the story and draws the reader into the scene. Another option is to start with an action. 'She ran as fast as she could, her heart pounding in her chest, not daring to look back.' This creates immediate tension and makes the reader want to know why the character is running.

One great way is to start with an interesting dialogue. For example, 'Are you sure this is the right place?' This immediately grabs the reader's attention and makes them wonder what's going on. Another way is to begin with a vivid description of a setting, like 'The old, creaky house stood alone at the end of the overgrown lane, its windows like empty eyes.' A third way could be starting with a sudden action, such as 'She ran, not looking back, her heart pounding in her ears.'

Beginning a short story can be done in several ways. A good option is to start with a strong statement that sets the tone for the whole story. For instance, 'The world ended that day, but no one noticed at first.' Another approach is to open with a sense of mystery, perhaps by introducing a character who has lost their memory and doesn't know who they are. You could also start with a moment of high emotion, like a character crying over a broken heart, which instantly creates an emotional connection with the reader.

Beginning a short story as a beginner can be done in these ways. You can start by introducing a relatable problem. For instance, 'He couldn't find his keys, and he was already late.' This is something many people can understand. Starting with a friendly conversation is also an option. 'Hey, how was your day?' can start a story in a very natural way. Or, you could start with a common place but add a bit of mystery. 'The park was empty, except for the lone figure on the bench. Who was it?'
