My roommate sets me up. She deliberately forces me into a death-trap survival game. As I shut my eyes and wait for death to take me, I realize that the game's bosses can read my mind. "Look at the blood spurting from this baby doll's neck. It's like a fountain of pee." The baby doll is baffled. It's about to launch its ultimate move, but it falters. "Man, look at how this guy is still sweeping the streets when he's so old. Does he not have a pension?" The old man is about to swallow me whole, but he suddenly gets a heart attack. An ambulance takes him away. "Oh, so this is the amusement park's owner. Oh, dear god, he's handsome, albeit a little skinny. I can send him flying with a kick!" The handsome owner's expression darkens. He instantly takes off his shirt to reveal his washboard abs. "Do you still think I'm skinny?"

I'm not really an avid fan of novels. I don't really care about them. Well, not until “Three Hearts, One Love” a reverse harem novel, was published. It became so popular that it got on my nerves. I saw and heard of it everywhere… the mall, the news dashboard, radios, TVs… literally everywhere. So, due to its popularity, I decided to try it out and check what made it so special. But that was a mistake on my part… I never should have bought it. That night I read half of it till midnight, and when I woke up, I wasn't myself any longer. I became a character in the novel I had read the previous night. And the most shocking of it all … I was the villain… Luna Graves, the jealous best friend who was fated to face her tragic doom at the end of the story. With no way of escape, I accepted my reality and played my role as the villain, waiting to be doomed, but then things began to take a turn after Luna Graves's wedding day. Scenes began to change, characters that weren't originally in the novel began to appear and instead of falling for the female lead, the male leads began to fall for me… me? The villain!

“I should’ve known you weren’t as reckless as me,” he says quietly. “You’re Elliot’s little girl after all.” “I’m not a little girl,” I snap. “I’m twenty-five.” “And I’m almost twice your age, Natalie,” he says, almost like he’s giving up. “But that didn’t stop you from coming to me.” In a second, he has me pinned against the wall. His hands trails up the sides of my body. “Do you want me to stop?” he whispers, his breath hot against my neck. “I waited for you that night,” I whisper, my hand sliding up his chest. “I imagined us doing all the things you implied you’d do.” He groans softly, a low, guttural sound that vibrates through his chest. “Did you touch yourself?” he asks in a whisper, his eyes closed. My other hand moves lower, trailing down his body until I brush against the hard evidence of his desire. I feel his breath hitch, and I smirk, knowing what I’m doing to him. “Yeah, but it was your hands I was feeling.” On the brink of her second wedding anniversary, Natalie Jones uncovers a devastating betrayal—her husband, Michael Cooper, embraced passionately with his mistress.
