Deadly Kiss

"Fight me more empress," he says while his rough hands grab my waist and pull me to him.
"Do not call me that. I will never be yours..." My words get stuck in my throat when I sense his body moving closer to mine. His body heat encircles me like an aphrodisiac.
"I can call you whichever name I desire. You belong to me. So that means I'm the one in control.
You are mine to love, mine to fuck, and mine to desire," he whispers into my ear with a note of danger and threat.

In her previous life, Amara Desouza was an ambitious princess who wanted to conquer power.
She fell in love with the emperor of Xianle and dreamed of being his empress.
But the emperor betrayed her. She was falsely accused of crimes and was sentenced to death.
Amara realized that she was just a pawn in the emperor's games.
Unable to bear her grief, she was forced to commit suicide.
*-*
After rebirth, she got another opportunity to change her fate by not entering the imperial palace. So she decided to hide herself and stay in the shadows, away from the bloodthirsty villains.
However, things don't go according to her plan when the emperor starts showing a sudden interest in her.
Why is he tracking her every move?
And why is he stalking her?
Maybe he wants to torture her or worse...kill her.

His newest fascination is the mysterious princess of the Thai empire, Amara Desouza.
But strangely, she hates him and is terrified of him.
Meilin loves the Chase so if the princess wants to run, he will capture her.
He'll do whatever it takes to trap Amara, claim her, own her...and make her his Empress.
