Chapter 1Chapter 1: The Stopwatch

"Hmm" Zia sighed as she slumped over her desk. She had just returned to home to her tiny apartment, in Queens. What a crappy year this had been! She absolutely hated her job, her parents were not doing well, and she was stuck in ugly old New York. About two years ago she had moved from Jersey. Fresh out of college, she had been itching to get out of her parents home. She wanted adventure, a fast paced life in the big, bustling city. New York, that beautiful place crammed with taxis and neon lights, she had dreamt about living there for years. Glumly she looked out the window. There were no bright lights or glamor, just a dumpster in a dismal back alley. What a sharp contrast from her day dreams.

Stretching Zia got up from her desk. Her phone buzzed un the table. Seeing the name flash on the screen, she picked up. "Hey Jade, whats up?"

"Hey girl hey! So are you coming to the New Years party? I haven't heard from you all week."

"I don't know Jade."

"Oh come on! Don't be such a bore. You always back out of parties, but this time I'm not letting you get out of this that easily. Give me one valid reason for what you shouldn't come."

"Work?"

"Nah uh. You hate work. A party would be way more fun. Come on pleasseee!"

"You know I don't like those kinds of things. So many people, so much small talk, it makes my stomach turn. And I don't hate work that much. If they paid me more, I might like it."

"Come on Zia, I'm not giving up on you. New year new you right?"

"New year new me." Zia thought for a minute. Catching sight of a piece of paper on her desk, "let me think about it. Bye!" Quickly hanging up, Zia rushed back to her desk, grabbed the paper and a pen. New year new me huh, we'll see about that.

1: be more social

2: get a raise

I'm already out of ideas, dang I'm boring. If I could have anything in the world, hmm?

3: date boss

He's so hot, and mom would be so happy to find out I have a boyfriend.

4: make more friends

I really need to branch out, once Jade is too busy for me, I'll be pretty much be alone.

5: TRAVEL!!!

I've always wanted to see the world! Yeesh, I might as well ask for the moon while I'm at it. Ok, that's enough impossible things for one list. I'll be lucky if I even accomplish one.

*buzz* *buzz*

"Hello?"

"I can't believe you hung up on me! You never even gave me an answer."

"Relax Jade, I'll come."

"Really? Oh my gosh! Ok 9:00 pm don't be late. Oh and wear something nice

"What? Jade, wait!"

"Bye!"

Zia stared into the blank phone. What qualifies as something nice?

Darn this dress when did it get so small! *rip* Drat! She looked in dismay at the torn scarlet dress in her hands. Who are you kidding Zia, it ain't the dress that's the problem, its all that stress eating, you've been doing. Also the celebration eating, and the depression eating, can't forget the anxiety eating. The hips might not lie, but do they have to be so brutally honest? Whatever, who cares what I wear. I'll just stop by the party, say hi, and leave once Jade isn't looking.

___________At Jade's House

*ding dong* Cameo appearance, you can do this. It's just a cameo appearance.

"Zia! Hey how.. WHAT ARE YOU WEARING?"

"Pants and a shirt. Is their a problem?"

"I specifically told you to wear something nice. This will never do. Really Zia you are simply unbelievable"

"Wait what? Where are we going?"

"Upstairs. Their is no way I am letting my best friend show up to a party in that."

"How do you look? How do you look? Tell me! Tell me! Tell me!"

Zia looked at herself in the mirror, and tugged nervously at the hem of her dress. "Umm, its a little short." Jade threw open the door, wow! Zia looked amazing. The small black dress hugged her curves perfectly, and the sequence accentuated her already perfect figure.

"Dang girl, you thic!" Zia flushed crimson at the compliment. Before she could say anything Jade pulled her downstairs. What was supposed to just be a drop in turned longer and longer. Jade kept Zia glued to her side. Minutes dragged into hours and before she knew it... 3,2,1 HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Beeb beeb beeb

Zia rolled over to snooze her alarm. Ugh this headache. I hate being hungover. Why does Jade torture me like this? I don't like parties, I don't like people, and I dont like alcohol. Ugh, my bladder feels like its going to explode. Zia rushed to the bathroom to relive herself. Why does my life suck? Jumping in the shower she continued her inner monologue. New year new me, fat chance. I'm still the same old girl, in the same old world. What good are resolutions, if you don't have the ability to complete them. The water helped clear her head. As the warm droplets rolled through her hair and down her shoulders, she began to relax. Sigh, another day gone another chance missed. Oh well, enough grumbling. Self pity never got anyone anywhere.

As she dried off, Zia's eyes fell on her wrist. Oh no! Don't tell me I got a tattoo last night. How drunk was I? Looking down she saw what appeared to be a tattooed list of numbers. 364:16:20 Hold on a sec, their moving! It's it's, counting down! She hurriedly liked her thumb and tried to wipe this mark off. It reminded intact, and her skin wasn't even sensitive. It was as if this mark had just appeared. She, Zia was somehow tattooed with a stopwatch.

Rebirth: Pampered by My Children and Husband

After Lin Xu died, she discovered that the world she was in was a novel. Her eldest son liked to imprison the female protagonist of the novel, engaging in sinister villainous acts with a dark room play. Her youngest son would unfailingly draw substitute's blood and snatch substitutes' kidneys for the female protagonist’s legal antagonist — his unrequited love. Her only daughter was the romantic fool forever revolving around the male protagonist of the novel. If children are not disciplined, the mother is to blame. After being reborn, Lin Xu felt she should step in and discipline her wayward children. However, before she could take action, her eldest son’s dark, handsome, and usually cold face blushed slightly as he asked in a low voice, “Can I touch my head?” The middle son snorted and turned his head, his tone petulant, “I... I don’t want to go home, but if you insist, I'll do it begrudgingly.” The youngest daughter rushed over, mercilessly pushing her brothers aside, “Mom, come and teach me how to solve this problem~” Latter, both sons fought over the bowl of noodles Lin Xu cooked. What was a novel’s female protagonist? Nothing compared to their mother. The daughter transformed herself, letting nothing from any novel’s male protagonist interfere with her studies! The family was blissfully happy. Latter, the revived, amnesiac husband suddenly appeared, cornering her against the wall, his eyes full of struggle, “Even if you're married, I still love you.” Lin Xu pretended to be serious, “Is that so, then what should we do?” He hugged her tightly, his voice muffled and pained, “Divorce him!” Lin Xu chuckled secretly, “I’ll divorce him right away.” Latter, after the husband regained his memory, he said through gritted teeth, “Over my dead body will we divorce!”

One Wild Night

Lucinda Perry, a social recluse and a workaholic, makes a pledge to herself to go all wild on her twenty-fifth birthday and even score a one night stand if she gets her long deserved promotion at work. Few days to her twenty-fifth birthday, she gets promoted to not just a higher position but to the head office in a different city. Having to spend her birthday night in a new city, she goes to the club where she meets a very handsome stranger, Thomas Hank, who offers to be her one night stand after catching a glimpse of her dare-to-do list, which included having a one night stand. Thomas Hank, after having been used by several ladies in the past, is bent on getting the lady of his dreams who would love him for himself and not his wealth. So when he meets the cute and naive Lucinda Perry at the club, he decides to keep his true identity from her and find out if she was worth keeping. ***Excerpt*** What is more entertaining than a crazy side character? Say hello to Sonia and Bryan. Sonia's heart stopped beating for a second, and then different thoughts started flying right through her head at that same time. Bryan Hank? Her celebrity crush was kneeling right in front of her and asking her to be his wife? Was he mistaking her for someone? Was it possible this was a skit, or maybe this was like one of those celebrity pranks, and there were cameras around, waiting to capture her make a fool of herself? Or perhaps she was dreaming? Sonia wondered as she looked around them, but all she saw were curious onlookers. "Please! Be my wife and make me the happiest man on Earth," He said in a very loud voice that caught the attention of everyone. Her editor who she had been waiting on for over an hour because he was trying to sign a deal with a movie producer who was interested in one of her stories, showed up at that moment, "Sonia, you know Bryan Hank?" Her editor asked in genuine surprise as he watched the scene before him. It seemed like an hour had passed since Bryan went on his knees, but it had only been a minute. Bryan knew no lady would be crazy enough to accept such a crazy proposal, and even if any were, paying her off and calling off the whole thing would be easy since all he wanted was the scandal that could come from this. The headlines were either going to be about his rejected Marriage proposal or his supposed engagement, which would be enough to let Sophia off the hook. "Yes!" Sonia said as she bobbed her head excitedly and extended her finger for him to wear her the ring. "Yes?" Bryan asked in confusion when he heard her response. "Yes! I will be your wife and make you the happiest man in the world!" Sonia said with a giggle and wiggled her fingers until Bryan slid the ring down her finger. Surprisingly the ring was her exact size, and it sat on her finger like it was made just for her. The sound of applause erupted all around them as Sonia stood up with a big smile on her face and embraced Bryan before kissing him right on the lips. Bryan was slightly taken aback by her boldness but quickly recovered since this was his game, and he had to play along. He was the one who had approached her first, after all. So when she tried to break the kiss, he held her chin and slowly nibbled on her lower lip before parting her lips with his tongue and sucked on it in a teasing manner, eliciting a moan from Sonia. Sonia felt light-headed. This was too good to be true. It just had to be a dream. How else could she explain that one moment she was seated at the lobby of a hotel waiting for her editor, and the next she was engaged to her celebrity crush and was kissing him right here in the open?

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.
