Illustris

“How can you do this to me?” She asked feeling a burning anger and hurt course through her body as she glared into his red eyes.
“The same way you were hanging onto the arm of another man,” he replied back in a cool tone making her disbelief increase by the second.
“You cannot force me to do what you want! Why are you even here? You didn’t seem to care about me before! I will do whatever I want to do and stay with whomever I want,” she yelled ranting out all her thoughts, the frustration and fury she had been suppressing inside her, bursting out in rivulets.
This caused his expression to darken, his jaw set into a firm line and his red eyes seemingly gleam with a deathly threat that made her recoil for a second. She often forgot but the man standing in front of her was the manic villain that had killed people for reasons more insignificant than hers and of statues much higher than hers.
Why couldn’t she just control her mouth for once?
“I am not giving you an option here, either you come with me right now or we may leave after an hour when I am finished destroying the Duchy of Amias,” he said threatening her with his words. The tone that he had used had been a relaxed and languid one making Goosebumps rise on her skin. How could a man talk about destroying her home so easily?
She remained silent and when she looked at him again she met his eyes and a smile came upon his lips at the amusing expression of horror that she had been sporting, “I tried resisting but these expressions of yours are too amusing for me to just let go of you yet. For the time being, you are mine, Veraya Amias.”

When Sophie woke up one day to find herself reborn as the sister of the main lead in her favorite novel she had been partly sad and partly happy for the old life that she lost and for the new one that she had found. Reborn as Lady Veraya Amias, a minor villainess in the book who ultimately dies soon she decides to do everything that she can to change that fate.
She succeeds but just when she thought that life would be smooth sailing for her she attracts the attention of the main villain of the story, Duke Leynox Windsor and is caught up in his mayhem that would surely wipe her existence out too.
She had therefore made a big mistake when she had jumped into the arms of this Villain whom she had mistaken for her boyfriend from the real world. It was only later that Veraya learnt about the truth but it was already too late, she had caught the eye of the one man that she shouldn’t have in the whole of the Empire of Aethel. 
She knew that in the book the Villain dies a tragic death but when faced with someone who looks so much like her boyfriend she felt sympathy for his character and decided to save him from that bad ending.
Although she had made up her mind would that be possible? Could she perhaps change the storyline and save the villain and herself from him?
