(alternatively called: slow burn, second-hand embarrassment, and shenanigans) A girl made up of short fuses, clumsy feet and copious amounts of sarcasm has to team up with her irritatingly obnoxious neighbour in the name of love (also known as raging teenage hormones). Because in the grand scheme of things, what's a little deal with the devil? (Spoiler Alert: absolute chaos.) cover by xdemonsflowerx

After having his heart broken by Hailey Tucker, the player, Alex Parker transfers to a new school as far away as possible from her. Two years later, because of one horrible incident, Hailey has to move in with the Walkers. What she didn't expect was to see Alex at her new school, in her class.

She was destined to die. So she decided to become untouchable. An orphaned young woman dies in her former world and awakens inside the body of Isabella Everhart-the notorious villainess of a novel she once read. According to the original story, Isabella is destined to lose everything. Her family will fall. Her territory will collapse. Her reputation will be destroyed. And eventually, she will be killed in a coup orchestrated by the very man who becomes the kingdom's hero. But Isabella has no intention of following the script. She abandons the capital, purchases a neglected northern territory with her inheritance, and decides on one simple goal: Live. Then she discovers that she possesses an extraordinary ability. Golden Touch. With unlimited possibilities at her fingertips, Isabella could become the richest woman in the kingdom. But gold alone isn't enough. She also possesses the mysterious pocket watch left behind by her grandmother-a seemingly ordinary heirloom that turns out to contain an astonishing Secret. With the Golden Touch in one hand and the System in the other, Isabella begins rebuilding her forgotten territory. What begins as a desperate attempt to escape her death flag becomes something much greater. A kingdom within a kingdom. The nobles begin watching her. And the male lead-the very man destined to become her executioner-finally meets her again. Except this time, he isn't meeting the spoiled villainess from the novel. He's meeting a powerful duchess surrounded by loyal soldiers, administrators, prosperous merchants, and thousands of people who would willingly stand behind her. The original Isabella wanted love. This Isabella wants freedom. The original Isabella wanted the prince. This Isabella wants her family back. The original Isabella chased wealth and status. This Isabella will build an empire. She doesn't need a prince to save her. She doesn't need anyone's approval. She has her territory. Her people. This time, the villainess won't die.

ONLY SAMPLE CHAPTERS "What's your name?" He asked her in a straight cold tone. Akshita and all the employees stared at him as if he was a GHOST, but he kept looking at her with an emotionless face. "Ask her for her name", he ordered the girl, his voice indicating danger. "Wh...What is...is your name Miss?" the girl asked Akshita, stuttering out of fear. "Ak...Akshita" she replied, looking anywhere but at him, blinking her eyes to stop her tears. Fortunately, she was successful. What kind of woman would like it when her husband asks for her name, 4 months after their marriage! That too in front of all those people who know about their relationship? "Full Name" He commands. "Akshita Raghuvanshi", she replies again. The girl's eyes widened in realization. "I said FULL. NAME." He ordered furiously, stressing on the last two words. "Akshita Ekansh Raghuvanshi" she replied again, this time looking down. The name itself gives shivers. "Mrs. Akshita Ekansh Raghuvanshi" He states every word clearly, looking at Akshita. She snaps her head towards him in an instant, shock and confusion evident in her expressions. Her full name, from his mouth, created a domination aura around the place. It gave her butterflies, his name with hers, as one. ----------- It's a Fictional book I don't have any intentions to hurt anyone's feelings so please don't take it on heart.
