Chapter 1Chapter 1

Mr. Peterson had called his friend Mr. Roberts to make a proposal. "I would like my daughter, Aurora to marry your son, Liam."

"I'm not sure of what they have to say about this. You know, we have to seek their opinion on this matter before marrying them for themselves", Mr. Roberts said.

"After what Lucas did to my precious daughter, I wouldn't want her to fall into the hands of a traitor like Lucas again. He cheated on her and even threatens to hurt her because she broke up with him. I think she would be safer with Liam than with any other random man."

"I guess so, it seems so well that Liam is capable of protecting Aurora, I'll talk him to do it and I hope he yields."

"Thank you Roberts, I really appreciate you." "Aurora!!" Mr Peterson yells his daughter name.

She rushes down to her father "Yes dad? You called"

"Yes I did, I would like to tell you something. Sit down"Mr. Peterson said to her.

Reluctantly, she sat down and listens to what her father has to say.

"I, um...has made a proposal for you to marry Liam than to be with another man. I think it is ri..."

"No dad, you can't tell me to marry Liam, Liam?? I don't even like him, he is self-absorbed, a jerk and doesn't care about people's feelings. And even after what Lucas did to me, I'm not ready to trust any man. Maybe in another life, not this life, I can't marry Liam." She stands up and walks away.

"Aurora!!" her father yelled. "Get back here I'm still speaking with you!"

"I'm sorry dad, but I can't marry Liam"

"What makes you hate Liam so much??" Mr. Roberts asked.

"I don't know, we aren't friends, he is self absorbed and thinks about himself alone. After what Lucas did, I'm pretty sure Liam is not any much better."

"But I would like you to give him a chance, not all men are the same"Mr. Roberts said.

"Yes, do I, your father treats your mum like crap?? You can't conclude that all men are the same."

"I'm not marrying Liam and there's nothing you can do to change my mind."

"Oh really?? We'll see about that." her father said.

______________________________________

After an hour or so, Mr. Roberts got up to leave,he thanked his friend and left.

Mr. Peterson called out his wife, and explained his proposal to her. She considered it a nice thought and offered to speak with Aurora. She went up to Aurora's room and had a talk with her.

"Aurora, my dearest. You would listen to your dad, he wants nothing but the best for you. Marrying Liam would be the best decision for you, you haven't dated him so you can't conclude that he is bad. Or do you want your father to have another heart attack?? Do as he says and please him. I'm begging, make him happy."

"Alright mum, I'll think about it"

"Please do"

"Sure I will"

"Thank you"her mother said as she left the room.

______________________________________

"Liam, my son, Mr Peterson and I already had a talk, it's time for you to settle down. You are a handsome man, well educated, wealthy, and a perfect choice for women. You are twenty-four for crying out loud."

"I don't have any woman for now. I'll let you know when I get one" Liam replied

"How about Aurora??"

"Aurora?? You mean that girl?? No, no, no. I can't marry her. I don't like her, no, I don't want her!!"

Mr Roberts eventually convinced him and he agreed. He called Mr. Peterson to tell him to start the preparation for the wedding.

Transmigrated Into The True Heiress

Eira Kingston, a feared assassin, never imagined that death would lead her to transmigrate into the body of Ephyra Allen, the disgraced first daughter of the once-powerful Allen family. But what shocked her even more was the soft mechanical voice in her mind, addressing her as "master" and informing her that her soul had returned to its original body. Eira dismissed the strange voice, thinking she was having a post-death hallucination. But waking up in a hospital, with memories that weren’t hers flooding back, she was forced to confront the truth. Ephyra’s life had been nothing short of a nightmare. Despite being the legitimate daughter, she was labeled a bastard, shunned by all, and overshadowed by her scheming stepsister, who had stolen the love of her father and her betrothed. To make matters worse, the wealth and status the Allen family enjoyed were all thanks to Ephyra’s late mother, and the only reason she hadn’t been discarded entirely was due to her mother’s inheritance, locked away until she turned eighteen. But Eira wasn’t one to be defeated by circumstances. If she was going to live Ephyra’s life, she would do so on her own terms. She would destroy those who had caused Ephyra pain, claim the inheritance that was rightfully hers, and find out who was behind her own death. Because if there was one thing Eira knew how to do well, it was to survive—and make her enemies pay. However, being a high-schooler with nothing to her name wasn’t enough. As Ephyra, she’s powerless, but as an assassin, she’s lethal. Still, even that wasn't enough until she became the contracted wife of Lyle Aelion—a powerful, enigmatic figure in the business world with a secret illness. And it turns out, the only thing that can relieve him is her scent.
