She sat down on the sofa which was still covered with the bubble sheet, she was exhausted. She had a glimpse of the setting sun in the balcony, colourful sky, orange, red, yellow... and soon the colours changed to purple, blue and dark blue.

Shifting to another house and doing it alone wasn't as easy as Sophie had thought. She gulped the bottled water kept on the table. It was a new beginning, she was about to be independent finally. She needn't do what her father does, she was finally away from it, the crimes, the murders, the corpses which were cleared by her uncle, the smugglers who often creeped out Sophie.

Finally, it was all done. It was going to be a new beginning and as Sophie thought, it would have a great ending as well. As she was deep in thought, a familiar sound came across her ears, her phone was ringing. It was Stephanie Evans, her boss's secretary.

"Um...yes, Ms. Evans",Sophie hesitated as she attended the phone. She was usually hesitant to talk to her. Stephanie, a very sophisticated and charming lady, Sophie often thought, even if she was half as good as Stephanie, her life would be so easier.

"Ms. Capone, Project U10 assigned to you has to be presented tomorrow morning. Please prepare yourself for it",she said, as confidently as she ever did.

Project U10, Sophie's first project assigned to her, she worked upon it for a month, finally it would be presented to everyone. She took care of her project like it was her own baby, she had not slept even once working on it. It only got ready two days ago when she asked her parents to be on her own.

"Yes, Ms. Evans. Thank you",Sophie replied, a bit of excitement noticeable in her voice. It was finally going to happen, she would finally be on her own, her internship would end up great.

"Nothing more, Ms. Capone. Good night",her voice still sounding cold, Stephanie hung up the phone. Stephanie wondered if Sophie would really be able to do it because she remembers her time of the internship when Stephanie was new and perhaps a bit naive.

Her first project was a total bust, she tried even harder than Sophie at that time, she worked harder then onwards but Sophie, she is so pure and naive. Sophie would surely be heart broken if she faced a bitter rejection, Stephanie was worried about Sophie not because she was her colleague just because Sophie was never loved by anyone as Stephanie knew or just knew that Sophie's family doesn't even support her.

No one would be there to hold Sophie's hand and wipe her tears when she faces a bitter rejection unlike Stephanie, whose family and friends were with her when she was sad.

"Best of luck, Ms. Sophie Capone", Stephanie said to herself as she thought about everything.

Sophie started collecting the documents needed for the presentation in the mess of documents which still needed ordering. It was so hard to get the required documents, in the excitement of thinking of tomorrow, Sophie had nearly teared down all the boxes.

After getting all the documents, she put them in a folder securely and put that at the living room table which was the only neat place at that time. She picked her best official dress for tomorrow, black tight skirt along with white shirt, which was the only ironed shirt left and of course her outfit included the black short coat which she loved so much and considered it lucky.

All was set, tomorrow is going to be perfect. There was no such thought in her head that would say her that her presentation wouldn't go well, she was confident about the baby she was raising for a month.

Suddenly, her stomach growled, she was hungry. She had forgot to eat as she was busy doing the unpacking her stuff. She called up Emma, her best friend or just her only friend known. Who would even come close to a girl whose father kills people and is not in jail?

"Hey, Sophie Dofie",Emma said as she picked up her phone.

"Hey, Emma. Can you come over with food? I am mad hungry and..... Okay, I miss you very much, please come over. I hadn't seen you from last month!",she said.

Sophie was really missing her only friend, she needed some company as she had left the company of corpses and smugglers.

"Okay, okay",Emma said nearly chuckling at Sophie's clingy behaviour, "Coming over in five minutes, hehe"

Sophie hung up the phone. She cleared her living room as much that two people would be able to sit and eat. She sat down and waited for Emma to come. There was nothing more to do now.

After few minutes, Sophie's doorbell rang. It was definitely Emma. She opened the door rushing, eager to meet her friend. As she opened opened the door, a girl with mediocre brunette hair and a skinny body along with clothes which are usually known as "in trend", Emma was there.

"Oh, Emma",Sophie said as a smile curved over her face, her eyes only watching the pizza box carried by Emma, her face showing clear starvation.

"Hey, let me in. I got the food", Emma said lifting the box in her hand.

As she entered, she saw what her friend had made of an apartment, in short, a total mess. All the boxes just opened up with nothing really taken out from them, bubble sheet still covering the room furniture and also clothes lying down like there was no one who could wear them.

"Wow, did you call me to clear this mess? Oh! Okay, we are besties but I am not doing all this! What a mess!",Emma exclaimed as soon as she got in.

"Don't worry, I didn't call you for cleaning. Just for company", Sophie smiled at Emma.

With a deep sigh, Emma and Sophie started eating pizza. Emma quickly grabbed two slices without hesitation.

"Eat slowly, Emma",Sophie told her, who was gobbling up each piece really fast, her face covered with Margareta cheese.

"Yeah, yeah. By the way, welcome to the real world girl!",Emma said slowing down her speed and clearing her face using the handkerchief which was lying idle on the floor.

"What do you mean, Real world? I was not a ghost earlier!", Sophie gritted her teeth.

"Well, how would the heiress of the Blue Moon gang know the real world?", Emma chuckled, "Dude, you have seriously lived like a princess ever since"

A Princess Life.

Sophie was well known for it. So much riches and so many servants and along with that so many crimes, so many screams and so many tears.

"Well, you are pretty much right but I am really happy to leave that place and yes did I tell you I was going to present my first project tomorrow?",Sophie said, changing the topic.

"Oh, that's great. All the best, girl. You will rock it, I am sure",Emma said, her eyes widening and her eye brows raised.

"Yeah, thanks. I am missing Alec so much at this moment. He was the only one in my family who supported me and helped me. I wish to tell him this",Sophie said, her eyes gradually lowering.

Alec Capone, Sophie's elder brother and her mentor. Alec was the only one who supported Sophie when she wanted to leave their family business and step out of the underworld.

"Did you talk to Alec? He would be really happy for you",Emma said, pouring water in a glass.

"No, not yet. I will tell him when I am successful at the presentation",Sophie smiled thinking about the success.

"That's a good idea. Well, what time is it?",Emma asked abruptly.

Emma's only family was her mother who was waiting for her to come and then have supper with her. Emma was not rich like Sophie, both of them had very different lives which in some way connected them. No one wanted to be friends with a gangster's daughter and a girl who didn't show off her things, which she never had, so the both outcasts became friends.

"Oh, it's 8 pm now. You should go now, Aunt may be waiting for you,"Sophie said, already reading Emma's mind.

Stella Ravis, Emma's mother was close enough to Sophie for her to call her as Aunt, Stella was a kind, sincere and calm lady, who only did hard work all her life so that her daughter gets a great life.

"Yeah, I will be leaving then. So, take care and sleep well.",Emma stood up and gave Sophie a side hug.

"Bye. Give aunt my love. Oh, I wish so much to see her",Sophie said.

"You are always welcome at my place, bye",Emma gave another tight hug and then said, "Call me after the presentation tomorrow",she smiled.

"Surely",Sophie smiled back.

Now, she had to make a sleeping arrangements, although it wasn't late enough to sleep but she knew that arrangements would surely take at least two hours because the worst place of all at that moment was the bedroom.

One by one she put the mattresses in order, weight of each one at least made her groan with effort each time. Clearing of spider webs was the toughest of all since Sophie wasn't tall enough to reach there.

She raised her feet to reach the web, stool was shaking but she thought not to look at it and continue her work.

Crash.

A loud noise came as she slipped from the stool and crashed on her bum, she looked at the wooden stool which was already broken now. She cursed herself for being so stupid and for having a short height.

She looked at the clock which was hanging in front of her, she stared it for a minute and then realised that clock was out of battery, she took out her tiny phone from her back pocket of her Louis Vuitton jeans, phone was safe and it showed the time 9:35 pm and sixteen seconds. seventeen seconds. eighteen.

She decided to leave her house as it is and just sleep for now, tomorrow was an important day for her and she wouldn't be happy to come late at her first presentation.

She went at the main door and locked it in every possible way which gave her a weird sense of security which she used to feel every time she locked her room door and went to sleep at her old mansion.

She ensured that each door was locked well and then she layed on her bed. It wasn't as soft and bouncy like the one she had in her mansion but it extracted all her exhaustion.

"Tomorrow would be great", she told herself when she was about to close her hazel coloured eyes which were full of dreams and ambitions. She curled in her bed and slept peacefully.

There was silence in the room and then her phone started ringing, she was too deep in sleep to get her phone. Even though, she heard slight ringtone, she decided not to pick it up. She didn't know who was calling.

Her Mom was calling her.

She also wanted to wish her daughter luck even though her husband has told her not to talk with her, her mother's heart wasn't able to wait to hear her daughter's voice.

Tears rolled down her eyes which were hazel coloured as well. She wanted to talk to Sophie but fear of her husband's anger resisted her. It has been so long since she talked to her.

"Madame, Sir is calling for you", Mr. Kim told her. Mr. Kim was Auric Capone's assistant and one of the most trusted member of the gang.

"I am coming", Rose Capone told him, Sophie's mother.

She wiped her tears and stood up, straightening her folded sleet skirt and checking if her back hair were pinned up well. She walked along with Mr. Kim to his husband's office.

"You called for me, Auric?",she said, her voice not showing even tiny bit of sadness.

"My dear Rose", he came near her and put his hands around Rose's shoulder, "I only told you to do one thing, not to talk to Sophie. She is my daughter as well but she can't deny my will."

He whispered slowly in her ear,"I also love her. Give me your phone", his voice getting colder and colder.Rose gulped down and gave her phone to him, "Rose, you know me",Auric said and left the room, keeping the phone in his pocket.

Dead silence covered the room, Auric has suspected her. Now, no one would let her call anyone. She wished for Sophie to get someone who would love her and make her happy and also that she gets a happy independent life.

Night went by slowly....

Sophie slept well but her mother was wide awake that night.

It was 5:30 am. Sun was about to rise and then Sophie opened her eyes, she told herself like she usually did, "Good morning, Sophie~", she stretched her hands upwards and yawned like crazy.

Today was the day, a smile approached her cute little face. A coffee was perfect to start the day, she got inside her messy kitchen.

Coffee, coffee, coffee, she examined the containers with her finger tips. She made coffee easily, it was long ago when she last made it. She approached at her balcony and looked at the peaceful heights of the buildings and sweet chirping of birds came across her ears.

This feeling was so good.

It was long time after that she got dressed up and revised all her documents and then was finally off to work, it was 7:45 am at that moment.

She booked a taxi since she haven't owned any car for herself yet because before that there were 100s of cars in her mansion which her father have given.

She adjusted her low pony one last time or as she thought since it was the first time that she had made a low pony.

"Please tell the code, Ma'am", the taxi driver said as she got seated in the taxi. "48264", Sophie replied as she glanced at her apartment for last time and it faded away as the car started moving.

She sat back and tried to relax but her mind was unable to do so since it was revising the presentation again and again. Half hour passed by just like that then finally the driver turned around and said, "Ma'am, We have arrived at The Martial Company", Sophie got down the car and saw the familiar skyscrapers.

"Thank you very much", Sophie did a final short bow and started leaving, "Have a good day, Miss", driver said from her back.

Good day? Yes, I would surely have one

Sophie walked inside the office, not many people were there, it was 8:32 and office started at 9:15 am. As she got inside the lift, she chose her floor, seventeen.

"You should be aware of the happenings of your company, Kai", his uncle told him . With a deep sigh he said, "I know uncle, I am not mistaken this time. Martial Company is my responsibility, please trust me this once," he hanged up saying that. He looked up through his office glass pane, sun was shining bright.

Kai Terral, young CEO of the famous Martial Company. Kai was although young but determined and ambitious as well, he thought emotions made him weak and thus he never followed them.

After a long time, there were rumours about his company that it is going to be bankrupt soon and that was because he allowed a gangster's daughter for an internship against her family's will. Sophie Capone.

It was heard that no one from her family wanted her to work elsewhere than underworld but she fought them and soon enough she got his company for internship and that's why underworld would not tolerate Kai's audacity to do such act.

It didn't frighten Kai that much at first, it was just a rumour, he told himself but the more he heard of Auric Capone the more the alert he got. He came to know that Auric Capone never even let souls escape with doing something wrong to him and he has secured his daughter like treasure.

One thing which was stuck on his mind was that he heard that Sophie Capone was as deadliest as Auric Capone and if he would continue to keep her in his company, soon she would only take over it and kick him out.

Are the daughter and the father same?

He usually asked himself this because he hasn't met Sophie Capone yet and was wondering, was she that bad? He also always asked himself that what if she is that bad? Even Kai's close ones were saying so, they were not happy with Kai. He knew it was Sophie's first presentation today and he would be in the meeting and maybe he gets his answer.

He peeped outside his office, Stephanie stood there and another woman joined her, coming out of the elevator. Before he would see who it was he took out his phone and googled "Sophie Capone"

An image popped up in front of him.

SOPHIE CAPONE: Heiress of The Blue Moon gang and daughter of Auric Capone

Spotted at Stakeford Park.

He examined the whole image but his eyes were stuck on the bright hazel coloured eyes which told how innocent Sophie was. He didn't expect to see this as a result and also she doesn't look like a gangster's daughter but more like a teenage model to him.

But who knows if that was her cover?

He pushed back his hair and then heard clicking of heels walking towards him, he put his phone aside and saw the two ladies standing in front of him. It was Stephanie along with her , Sophie Capone.

Her eyes as bright as they were in the photo, dressed in perfect black and only visible skin was of her face and hands, Stephanie stood in between both of them as they examined each other.

Innocent face and pure eyes, this was all Kai was able to examine. It was the first time he saw Sophie in person.

"Mr. Terral, this is Ms. Sophie Capone, our intern. Today, she would be giving the presentation in the board meeting and Ms. Capone, this is our CEO, Mr. Kai Terral", Stephanie introduced both of them to each other.

A smirk approached at Kai's face, somehow being happy to not find Sophie as he thought she was.

"Good morning, Mr. Terral. I would try my best to not to disappoint you during today's presentation," Sophie bowed in front of him.

"Morning. Get started", were the only words from Kai's voice box, he got seated without saying anything else. Although, young Kai was well mannered but he didn't thought so that speaking to his junior colleagues like that would only make them against him but Sophie didn't feel bad about it, she had seen worse behaviours.

Sophie asked Stephanie to help her with the documents and she looked at Kai who was staring her doing her work.

"Can she start, Mr. Terrel?", Stephanie asked Kai as soon as Sophie was done arranging, Kai looked at his watch and said, "Yes, she may start now. No other members are supposed to be here. Stephanie, you may leave"

Stephanie left the two of them and Sophie gulped. It was just two of them now, Kai and her. She felt really strange that no one else was there in the meeting. Lesser she knew that all the others were too afraid to point out mistakes in Sophie's presentation.

"Start, Ms. Capone", Kai said, she had expected his voice to echo even once but it was damn clear.

"So, now if we look at the chart.......", and she started on..

Two hours went by just like that, Kai didn't even question her once. From time to time, Sophie thought if Kai was even listening to her because his eyes were laid on her but his face told that he was thinking about something else.

"That would be all, Sir", she ended the meeting with a bow.

"Well, well, Ms. Capone. I have got some prize for you",Kai said coming near to her and saw her freeze in a posture.

"I am sorry, sir. I don't think so I deserve some kind of gift", Sophie said, trying to be modest but in heart telling herself that her hardwork was worth a million diamonds!

"Follow me, Ms. Capone",Kai told her and opened the door which had been suffocating him from the past two hours.

Sophie didn't know what she should do, follow him or just keep on resisting? Following would be a lot easier but who knows what kind of boss he was, perhaps a flirty boss? who knows?

but.......

She just wanted to follow.

She picked up her files and quietly followed him. Everyone was looking at her, gossiping, saying things like ,"Our CEO has never been in a meeting for two hours, does this girl know black magic?", "Yes, yes. She knows black magic", "She is from a gangster family!", "Woah!"

She tried to ignore those voices, he heard it all but else than a quick glance he did nothing. To Sophie's surprise, everyone got back to work as soon as he glanced at them.

They entered inside a room where there were lots of books kept, he raised his hand and took out a book with a red cover.

It seemed like some fantasy love story from its cover or maybe a modern romance? Words were carved on it, "Out of Love", with no author name.

He held out the book and said, "Here, my grandmother gave it to me, keep it carefully, Ms. Capone. You deserve it"

Surely, his grandmother gave him that book but not even once he had read that novel because he never liked romance genre and assumed that book to be about romance. He was giving that book to Sophie not because her presentation was worth it but because he was too happy for his judgement to be proven wrong, she was not like that at all. Only one meeting was enough for him to judge a person correctly.

"I can't take it, Mr. Terrel", Sophie smiled gently but what her mind actually said was, are you just giving me a stupid romance novel? WHY!!?

"Take it", he put that book in her hands with a stubborn face.

He moved out of the room first and Sophie came out later with that book held tight in her hands, she kept that book in her Chanel handbag and started to get that started with other works but suddenly popped out of nowhere in front of her,

"Ms. Capone, Boss has ordred you to take leave today since you may be too tired from the presentation today", Stephanie said, her hands busy with documents.

Wasn't Mr. Terrel too good for a boss? He gifted her a book and then asked her to leave not that she wasn't tired of speaking for two hours continuously but still no boss she had ever known was that good, especially in underworld.

"Um...okay",she bowed again and started leaving the place. She got out of the building and tried to remember if there was something she was missing. No, all was well and good, just to get a cab. She took out her phone to book the cab but just then an Audi R8 came in front of her.

"Wanna ride, Ms. Capone?", a guy's voice said from inside the car.

"And who are you, mister?", she asked, looking at the unfamiliar green eyes and striking brown hair along with a formal suit.

"Your admirer", he chuckled, "but people know me as Derry Terrel, my big bro owns this company",he smirked.

"Thanks for suggesting but I prefer traveling alone", Sophie said, again taking out his phone.

"I know, Ms. Capone that all this money I have won't fascinate you but I would love to be at least friends with you",he flaunted his hair.

Kai Terrel's younger brother, Derry Terrel, as strange as his brother....

".........okay", Sophie agreed because it doesn't matter if she saves a little more money, does it?

She sat inside and decided to keep as quiet as possible.

"So, you are the famous Sophie Capone?",he asked without looking at me.

"Surely, I am Sophie Capone but about being famous, I am not sure",she said, being pretty straight to point.

He chuckled at this. One question wandered in Sophie's head, why he doesn't have a driver? Like, he is rich and all, perhaps he likes driving his rides, Sophie guessed.

"Heard a lot about you recently", Derry said.

About me.....?

Sophie wondered, how could he hear about her? It hasn't been long since she got connected with his brother's company, whom she only met today only.

Perhaps..... he knows her through her father.

Sophie didn't say anything to him and looked straight.

Awkwardness filled up the car, no one spoke anything further, just took glimpses of each other's faces. Sophie observed that there was a slight scar on Derry's forehead, she wanted to know about it but she hesitated.

She mustn't meddle with other's business. She told herself.

"Ms. Capone, won't you give me the directions from here?", Derry said, breaking the awkward silence between them.

"Yes. Please take a right from there and then left from the crossroad", Sophie replied, lowering her eyes.

"Ms. Capone, I suppose that book belongs to my brother", Derry said, looking at the red covered book, it was partially visible from the handbag.

"Certainly, Mr. Terrel gave it to me as a present,"Sophie replied, keeping the book fully inside the handbag.

"Present? For what?",He asked, controlling his laugh.

"I suppose for my great presentation", she said to him with uncertainty because she wasn't sure that Kai was even listening to him at that time.

"Indeed, indeed", Derry replied along with a chuckle.

Sophie glared at him, was it that laughable to receive a romance novel as a present from your CEO? Maybe.

She haven't ever received any gifts, not particularly from the "real" world people, people from underworld usually gave her grand casinos and weapons as gifts, which she never admired much. So, a novel as a gift was fine, maybe it was not of her favourite genre, but a gift is a gift.

All she hoped for was that Kai didn't have any ill intentions towards her.

"Another right and then straight", Sophie directed as soon as Derry took a left.

"So, there you go, Ms. Capone", Derry said, stopping his car in front of Sophie's society, which wasn't that glamorous and gorgeous.

"Thank you-",she stepped out of the car and then a sudden thought struck her mind, how did he know which society he lived in?, "- Mr. Terrel", she bowed.

"My pleasure, Miss - ", he paused, "Sophie"

Was their meeting enough for them to be on first name basis?

"Right, I will leave now", she started to leave, her question burried inside her head

"You came a long way, Sophie", Derry said to himself and rushed his car, which he couldn't value any less.

"Yes, Kai. I have left her", he said to his phone on which Kai's call was never ended, he was there all that time.

"Good, what you think? She is not like they said, right?", Kai asked, his voice muffled.

"Definitely not. She is nothing like they said", Derry replied with his head looking at Sophie's society through the rear mirror.

"-- But why did you ask for my help? You are pretty good at judging people?", Derry continued.

"I wasn't sure, maybe she puts up a mask?", Kai said, hesitating to confirm his uncertainty.

"No, no. She is rather adorable.", Derry replied, "By the way, you have her that novel to her, which grandmother gave you?", a chuckle breaker out.

"That red cover novel seemed like some romance stupidity, so I gave it away. I told her it was a present. Is it that bad?", Kai replied.

"No novels are bad and for your kind information, everything red doesn't describe love in novels, it could be blood, war, desire and so on",Derry said with a dramatic movement of fingers which wasn't visible to Kai.

"Doesn't matter", Kai said along with deep sigh.

"Anyway, I have done your work. I am heading back to Home", Derry scratched his scar.

"You are irresponsible", Kai said and hanged up without even giving Derry a chance to speak for himself.

"Heh, so are you", Derry said as soon as he speeded off his ride.

Sophie threw off her handbag as soon as she entered her apartment, day wasn't as tiring as she had expected. She changed up her clothes to stupid Pokemon shorts along with a crimson coloured tank top.

She reached out for her phone to call Emma, she remembers.

"Hello~ how did it go?", Emma answered like she was waiting for Sophie's call only from the start of the day.

Sophie didn't know how to reply, she was t even sure if he listened to her.

"I don't know, guess it was fine", Sophie's voice came out dull and not enthusiastic.

"You don't know? Did any of them tell you anything?",Emma asked.

"Actually, only the CEO was at the meeting and also he gifted me some red cover novel, out of love which I think is of romance genre and guess what he asked me leave the office as well", she said as she picked up the fallen book which had fallen when she had threw her bag.

"A gift and a holiday, perhaps he might be impressed?",she said.

"I am...not so sure about that, he was just staring me throughout the meeting",Sophie said.

"Oh, so the CEO has got a crush on ya? Go get it girl!", Emma bursted out laughing.

"Shut up. Anyways, romance genre is not my cup of tea, this book is probably going to lying in the bottom of one of my shelves", Sophie replied.

"Yeah, yeah but at least read it once maybe it is not romance at all?", Emma said

"Yeah, I will see. Well, talk to ya later, you might be busy not like me -", she didn't complete.

"Hey, cheer up. Bye",Emma said showing her concern.

Sophie hung up her phone and took out a bottle of tequila, this was the last thing she could do, drinking in broad daylight after meeting few strange people.

It was because of them that she began to doubt on herself, her performance.

One shot. Two shots. Three and then she paused she shouldn't get drunk already. She took out the book and felt like throwing it away, was it really some present or an insult but she instead felt its title with the touch of fingers.

"Lets see you now hic", she said as she opened the hard cover to read through the soft pages.

"Long ago in Europe..",she read the first line aloud and clear.

And there came a tornado of red and blue dust in the room, the only thing visible to Sophie now was the book, red colour changing to purple and blue and magenta.....along with it a tear rolled down Sophie's face, her brain wasn't able to decide, was it because of happiness or unhappiness?

Tornado not resting for a second, "Oh! ****!", were Sophie's last words before she closed her eyes and her head swirled like the tornado itself, she fainted.

Tornado rested.

Book closed.

Cover again changing to red.

Sophie was gone.

"Ah, water", Sophie gulped as she put effort to wake up, her eyelids getting heavy to lift.

"Here, take it", an unfamiliar female's voice came beside her.

"Who....who are you? Where......where am I?",she asked as she squinted her eyes to get the clear view of where she was.

In a room much bigger than her present rented apartment, there stood a women with white skin and orange hair tied up in a tight pony and an expressionless face, which was looking at her with wonder. Sophie observed carefully, she could see through the woman, all clearly.

"Are you....a ghost? Did I die?",Sophie asked, her head spinning around.

"Listen up, woman. I am not a ghost, I am a free spirit and ya are inside the book out of love and most importantly you are the chosen one",the white girl said with a black accent.

Sophie, now baffled was unable to understand whatever she said.

"You mean, I am inside that romance novel?", she asked, getting some clear image in her head.

"Romance? Pfft, girl, this book is a pure revenge mystery,"girl said, along with a sympathetic face towards Sophie.

"A revenge mystery? okay, whatever but how did I get inside this novel? I was just reading it",she asked, still baffled by the surrounding, which seemed like it was a princess's room, large curtains and large bed along with a table which had a ink pot and a feather along with other documents.

"Hey, don't be so confused. This book chose you, now you will be playing the story till the end and get out of this book and yes, I am gonna help you out. Other people can't see me",she said, rubbing her hands, which seemed very pale.

".....and who are you?",Sophie asked.

"Well, I was the chosen one earlier but I was killed gradually while playing the story and then I was stuck here till book chooses it's next princess, so that story would come to an end. I have waited here 12 years, no one could see or hear me other than the chosen one. My name's Kenny",said the girl, who was now roaming in the huge room.

"Where am I, in particular?", Sophie asked since she was pretty sure that this story was surely not of New York, all the fancies covered the room.

"You are in France, anyways, what is your name?",Kenny asked, smirking.

"Sophie",she said without looking at her.

"Well, Your name is Princess Caroline in the book, Sophie. The one who would take revenge.", Kenny put her hands on her butt.

Revenge. Sophie never liked fights and aggressiveness and long wars, she didn't ever wanted a dramatic love story which would have conflicts and now she is stuck in a revenge novel and the only way out is to take revenge.

"What kind of revenge? Like, killing people?",Sophie gulped

"Of course, killing people. You are the chosen one, obviously you won't hesitate doing that. So, sweetheart, have ya ever took revenge?",she asked, her eyes clearly revealing how serious she was.

"I haven't.",Sophie paused and looked at Kenny's expression, it showed how disgusting she felt, "but I know how to take one, learner from my father",Sophie continued.

"Your father....What does ya father do?",she asked.

"Uh....he is a gangster",Sophie said.

Kenny's eyes widened and then she said, "OMG! Yours too! We are destined to be together, sis!"

Sophie paused for a moment to think, book only chose gangster's daughters? Is that so or there is some other thing involved? Something more important...

"Yeah, perhaps. So, you have read the novel, I assume",Sophie asked, curious to know about the things so that she could

"Yeah, when I was reading it and when I was at the end, something like a tornado came, I know the main story but not the last line and what about ya? ya know the story?",she asked and fidgeted with a keyring which was always in her hand, which had a heart design, ruby red, it was surely lustrous.

"Well, I don't know, I just read the first line,"Sophie replied and got off the bed she was lying on for all this while.

"So, now I will help you. Let's get started",Kenny said.

Kenny held Sophie's hand with her translucent hand and rushed towards a closet, without saying anything, she picked out up a long white gown with white and peach pearls embedded on it.

Sophie simply smiled at her and got her clothes changed, she noticed her skin tone at that moment, it had turned a bit darker. She came out wearing the dress, she felt beautiful wearing it, even though she hadn't seen herself in the mirror yef but she felt so.

"Wow, stunning. Close ya eyes",Kenny said, as soon as Sophie closed her eyes, Kenny took her in front of a long mirror, which was in itself very beautiful.

"Open it, girl",Kenny said.

Sophie looked in the mirror, an unknown figure was standing in front of her, her hair was light brown and skin was tanned, only thing familiar to Sophie in that body was her eyes, still hazel and innocent and then after a second she realised that she was seeing herself!

"Omg! What the hell happened to my face!!!",She shouted aloud, ignoring the way she looked so gorgeous in that white gown.

"Girl, it isn't your face? Oh, I thought it was",Kenny replied, sounding like she knew this was going to happen.

"You make it so obvious! I look so.....different. My dear face",Sophie said.

"Well in reality, I am a black lady but I turned white in this novel so it's okay for your body to change, you'll get used to it and also ya look pretty good", Kenny said, putting her hands around Sophie, who wasn't happy with her face change, whether it was pretty or not.

"I don't care", Sophie's face inflated like a balloon.

Sophie drove away from there and roamed around the huge fantastic closet which had all variety and quality of clothes, Ball gowns, mermaid dresses, exquisite pearls and every possible perfume and accessory. Not that Sophie hadn't seen any beautiful dresses before but the beauty of these dresses were just more so much far from reality.

"Girl, ya gotta meet someone now",Kenny said, interrupting Sophie's thoughts and her will to take all those dresses and material with her.

"Who?",Sophie asked, picking out a peach coloured collar dress and put it on her shoulders to see, how would she look in this body?

"Crown Prince of Spain, Eros. He will be the one who will plan to kill you in the future to seize your throne, which is not particularly yours",Kenny said, her voice getting deeper and a solemn expression covering her face like she was again feeling the way she died, 12 years ago.

"So, I got to kill him before he kills me right?",Sophie said like she had already figured out what Kenny was going to say.

"Yes", intensity of Kenny's words had made Sophie tremble, she nearly forgot to breathe for a second.

She was really going to kill someone, like his father had done all these years, what would it feel like?

She looked into Kenny's eyes and spoke with her without words that it was too hard for Sophie to kill someone right away but when Kenny responded, her eyes clearly told that she believed in Sophie, it was her only hope left.

"Now, I have to warn you. People you may see here may have the face of the person, you know from the real world but believe me, they are not the same, just kill Eros and both of us would be out of the book",Kenny said, keeping her hands around Sophie's shoulders.

"I will do my best",Sophie said, her eyes slowly lowering towards the floor.

"You may see something really unfortunate", Kenny lifted Sophie's face, and handed her a bottle which said, sweet poison, "now go", she continued

Sophie raised her beautiful gown and started to walk in the main hall, she had once thought to turn around and look at Kenny but her body just resisted to do it, You may see something really unfortunate , words echoed in her ears as she fastened her pace.

"Your highness", an old man with white hair and weak body, dressed in formal stood in front of her, "Prince Eros is waiting for you, please head at the main hall", he continued.

"I was heading there only",Sophie acted effortlessly, like a royal Princess she spoke, she swirled her hair and saw each servant bow as she passed across them. She held the bottle of sweet poison tightly, it would all end right away, she had thought.

She reached the hall, it was empty. Old man didn't speak another word, just followed Sophie.

"It has been a pleasure to meet her gorgeous highness in the morning",a familiar voice came from her back, she knew he was, she wished it wasn't him.

She turned around, it was him, Kai Terrel.

Same eyes and body language, the only difference was of his clothes and the way he used his words. It isn't Kai, she had told herself.
