Chapter 1
Veronica's p.o.v
I watched with tears and fear as my parents were burnt in front of my eyes, their screams echoed around the room as they begged for help.
"Please stop it!" I pleaded while I sobbed loudly.
Their laughter grew covering my parents' screams, why was this cruel thing happening? A while ago my parents and I were having a great time chatting in the living room when some robbers broke in, they dragged us to some place at gunpoint while my parents begged them to let go.
"What should we do with her boss?" One of the men in a mask asked.
The tall man that was huge than all of them I feared moved closer and held my chin forcing me to look at him, I trembled in fear as they all laughed.
"You are a strong one, I like strong girls." he said while fixing his mask properly with one of his hand.
"What more do you want? you have all the money we had, you have taken them away from me?
I screamed as I looked at my parents who were burnt down to no recognition.
I coughed in pain as the taste of blood filled my mouth.
"Pretty slut, the deal was simple, their money and lives for yours, and luckily I'm a man of my words." he said as he dropped his hand from my chin and removed a dagger from his back belt.
I closed my eyes and felt the cold metal on my cheek, I sobbed as I waited for my death, so this was it, I told myself silently, I felt the tight ropes on my wrists loosen and dropped, I quickly opened my eyes and looked at my free hands.
"Go." the man said.
I froze for a minute and looked at the man in disbelief.
"Go before I change my mind!" He screamed.
His voice sent me running with wobbling legs.
I ran for my life knowing I would die trying.
"Boss?" One man called loudly.
"You know the rules, let her fight for her last breath."
His answer echoed in the room.
I heard footsteps behind me as I tried moving faster but my body was giving up, I tripped on a stone and fell head first, the footsteps quickly caught up with me.
A hand roughly grabbed my hair as it screamed in pain.
I felt a punch on my face then stomach, I sniffed weakly ignoring the blood and pain of my broken nose and stomach.
"Please" I whispered wishing for a quick death.
"Stupid bitch." he spat.
My cheek stang when I received a hard slap that send me flying on the ground, I felt dizzy and weak.
"Should we finish her?" The other guy asked.
"No, she should fight for her last breath." the one that had grabbed my hair answered.
"How much money did boss get from that dead couple?" The other asked curiously.
"Well, he got what would last us for forever" answered the man who moved closer and grabbed my hair again.
I looked at him with my blur vision, I had no strength to cry or scream.
"You are right, we just have to finish this b***h off." the other guy said while unbuckling his trousers.
"Let the b***h be, she will soon die on her own, this place is abandoned, no one knows this place, let's just go, if you want to f**k someone f**k a real b***h, not this virgin brat." he spat as they walked away.
I struggled to breathe when the pain intensified, I wished I wasn't born in this life and time, I wished I was someone else, this was the cruel fate of the heaven and stars maybe dying wasn't that bad after all.
"Mother, father wait for me." I Whispered as darkness consumed me.

"Help me." I screamed out as I woke up while breathing heavily, I touched my wet face sadly and took in a deep breath.
The door opened and a lady dressed in a white robe quickly entered then bowed.
"Sorry to disturb your sleep your highness, I heard you scream a while ago, I was so worried, the guards wanted to barge in I had to stop them." she said as I looked at her for a second then burst out laughing, she quickly knelt down in fear while trembling.
"If I have angered her highness may I beg for forgives." she whispered lowly.
Was she serious? This girl was really a good actress, did Frank hire her to cheer me up? I asked myself.
"Look miss actress, I'm grateful for your kindness but can you please leave me alone." I said as I stood up.
I quickly looked at the robe that fell from my body, my body had wide hips, small breasts, and a tiny waist, this was really not me, I had big breasts with no hips at all, I quickly looked around the room, I was in a big beautiful room decorated in gold, beautiful paintings and silk sheets, I touched my hair and looked at the beautiful long black hair that covered half of my breasts.
"No, no, give me a mirror now!" I screamed as the lady quickly ran to the side of the bed and took a mirror when she handed me the mirror I looked at it in shock, the beautiful lady I was in had beautiful pale skin and looked younger, her forehead was painted in beautiful red markings, this reflection in the mirror wasn't me, my breathing became laboured as I tried to calm myself down.
"Your highness." the lady called.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh."I screamed out as the mirror fell from my hands and broke.
The lady quickly got a robe and covered me as the door was broke down by two men who held swords in their hands and wore armors, they looked around carefully.
"Forgive us your highness for rudely intruding in your chambers, we heard you scream," they said together.
I looked at them and felt dizzy, I turned and faced my bed in shock, I was about to move when I lost my balance and almost fell down when strong hands went around my waist and held me.
I turned and came face to face with the most handsome fierce-looking man I had ever seen.
