Anastasia Harrison, a young woman abused by her cruel family, thought her life was over when they forced her to marry Richard, the sleazy black sheep of the wealthy Wallace family. Meanwhile, her favored younger sister, Michelle, was set to marry Xavier, the elder brother, who was a CEO. Yet, an error at city hall ended up swapping their names on their respective marriage certificates. "What is this?! How are you married to Xavier Wallace?" "You're not getting any food or water until you sign the divorce papers!" To add fuel to the fire, the old Mr. and Mrs. Harrison passed away, leaving all their assets to Anastasia and not the rest of the family. This drove the Harrisons to their breaking point. To trade for a peaceful life, Anastasia was willing to leave her inheritance and leave the family, but the Harrisons had other plans in mind. They wanted to get rid of her. Permanently. However, it was by a stroke of luck that Anastasia was found by her new husband, Xavier, before her family succeeded. Determined to get her revenge, she struck a deal with Xavier. "Continue to be my wife and I will help you get your revenge!"

"I married you," He whispers and nuzzles into my neck, "No one has the right to insult or humiliate the woman I chose to be my wife..." "Even if she cannot wait for your throne built on bones to crumble down?" I retorted sharply and tore my gaze from the body lying inches away from us. "Even if she is about to shove a dagger in my heart." My eyes widen and the dagger within my grasp collides with the ground. George grins. ----- Anastasia is betrothed to the King of Keyes in her sister’s place from one day to the next, and she may not know a lot about life, but she knows she does not want to be a wife - much less a Queen in waiting. And not to the man who murdered her father in cold blood. She is set to make him pay for everything, watch his castle of blood crumble down, and enjoy it all while she's at it; but it's a good thing all he wants is to take her heart and then take her to bed.

“Did you plan this with Mom, sis?” Bella stood up and slowly walked toward Anastasia. Anastasia’s eyes widened in confusion. “What plan?” “You know I love him, and you know he’s my Prince Charming! Why?!” Bella’s voice grew louder. Anastasia was frozen in place, still bewildered. “Prince Charming?” Anastasia never expected her life to resemble a Cinderella tale, especially the role as the stepsister. When her parents arrange her marriage to Ethan Harrington, the man her step sister Bella has loved since childhood, her peaceful ten-year life in this new family starts to crumble. As she navigates the complexities of love and loyalty, Anastasia is convinced that Ethan’s heart belongs to someone else. With misunderstandings and tangled emotions at play, she must decide whether to follow her heart or fulfil her family's expectations. Will she find her own happiness, or will she be forever cast in the shadows of Bella's unfulfilled fairytale?"

Agent Kwon Taekjoo is dispatched to Russia with two tasks. First, he must find “Anastasia", a new weapon that could change the world forever. Second, he is to avoid Russia’s psychotic killer, Psikh Bogdanov, at all costs. To assist him on his undercover mission, Taekjoo is sent a partner who only reveals himself to be a man named Zhenya. But Zhenya quickly proves himself to e just as dangerous and unhinged as the infamous Psikh himself. Just who could he truly be? And will Taekjoo succeed in tracking down “Anastasia”?

“And they lived happily ever after.” This was the line that Anastasia grew with. She always thought that even though she was poor, her prince charming would still come and give her a better life. Just like the princess in the stories. But then, in reality. There were no princes and princesses. There will be no happiness ever after. Life is full of shit and Anastasia was done for it. When she thought her life had ended. She woke up in a dormitory of a school that trained Princesses and Princes to be who they were supposed to be. And there she meets the drunken prince charming who wanted to end his life.

"You are mine, Estrellita. You have always been mine," he whispered to the night. "And I tend to take care of what belongs to me. Especially when it comes to you." In the next instant, his lips met mine, drawing away the chill and replacing it with his warmth. The sensation of his skin against mine was like a fire, and my pussy throbbed, ignited with desire. I was stirred by the Devil's touch. I was twistedly aroused by the Devil. *** Silent Rivers. Silent Tears. Roaring Courage. In the tranquil town of LarksVille, a web of deceit, cruelty, and hidden wounds lies hidden.

Yet, as Ana navigates through the complexities of justice, she finds herself entangled in a chilling game. A stalker, equally compelling and dangerously enigmatic, emerges from the shadows. Despite the alluring warmth of Lorenzo, Ana remains haunted by the chilling presence of the Devil, her relentless and fearsome stalker. Who is the "Devil"?
