Agnes Drummond married Callum Brodie to save her father from debtor's ruin. She expected cold civility. A roof. A name. She did not expect the portrait of his first wife in the hall, or the housekeeper who mourns her still, or the sister-in-law who arrives each month to remind Agnes she is a replacement for a woman the village has not finished grieving. She did not expect, either, that she might one day want him to look at her the way he looks at nothing. A marriage of necessity. A house full of ghosts. And two people too proud to admit they are already lost.

Yara Isaye loses her family in an accident. Two days later, she wakes up in a novel she once read, as the story's villainess, Yara Julian Isaye. Tyrannical, cruel, and unforgiving. Destined to be rejected by her own family, and the one fated to die at the hands of the Empire's most unfeeling man. She already knows how it unfolds. So she keeps her distance. She does not reach for them, does not question the role she has been given. It is easier to accept what has already been written than to hope for something else. Grief dulls everything else, whether she lives or dies no longer feels important. Until the story begins to shift. A hesitation where there should be indifference, a quiet concern that does not belong, and the man who was meant to kill her, once distant, and unmoved, no longer looks at her as he should, but with something far more difficult to name. Yara tells herself it changes nothing, because some endings are deserved. Aren't they? [Disclaimer: English isn't my first language so expect grammatical errors]

"Some stories are not written by fate-they are carried through time." Vincent was a poet who believed every verse had its place upon the page. But one quiet night, beneath the glow of a lonely streetlamp and the relentless hands of an unfamiliar clock, time itself unraveled before his eyes. When he awakens in the year 1880, nothing is familiar-not the streets, not the people, not even the books that once brought him comfort. Lost between centuries, Vincent finds refuge in a place where ink still dries beneath feathered quills, letters are penned by hand, and every stranger greets him with unexpected kindness. As he searches for a way home, he discovers that some encounters are no coincidence, some pages are destined to be written, and some poems echo across generations.

(ONGOING) I have no memories of my mother. When I was little, I'd have dreams about her. But, unfortunately, I cannot remember much of those dreams anymore. My father doesn't talk about her, it's as if, even after all this time, the grief is still consuming him. Lost in his own grief, he locked away every trace of her and refused to speak of her with anyone. Because I had so few memories of her, I used to ask him about the woman we had both lost, but the old pain would simply overwhelm him anew and the last thing I wanted to do is hurt him any further, so I stopped asking. That was until about a year ago, when I was searching the attic for treasure when I found a portrait of the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. My Mother. Her snow white skin, her blonde, almost a white platinum hair, her smile that seemed to light up the world around her, and my own blue eyes that reflected back at me. Now her face haunts my dreams. I knew that if my father saw it, he would hide it away, just like how he hides everything else. It feels like everything in my life is a secret. My mother, even my own relatives, this house that I was born in. But what scares me isn't the voices I hear at night when I'm trying to sleep. The faint whispers, calling out to me, calling for me. It's not even the feeling of eyes on me at all times, it's not even that my father doesn't believe me. What scares me is the notes I've started finding. - Aisha Stay tuned for a thrilling tale of Mystery, Vengeance, Friendship, Romance and Tragedy. I'm not a professional writer. This story is lacking a bit of detail. Maybe one day if it does good, I'll pay a co-author to fill in but for now, it's going to stay at a High School level. Lol Please don't steal my cover
