When a two-faced girl meets a man with two identities, what could go wrong?

Chapter 1 It started with a curse

She shifted on bed, body tossing around and finally settled when her alarm went off. Groaning, she reached for her phone and tossed it slowly after turning off the alarm. She settled on her bed, dazing off for a minute or two, before decided it was time to get up. Lazily, she walked towards the door -bed left untidy- and straight to the kitchen.

"Morning, " she greeted her dad.

Her dad just nodded at her, he was used to his daughter attitude. "There's pancakes on the table."

She smiled at that and quickly went to brush her teeth, make herself a cup of hot cocoa, and piling her plate with layers of pancakes. She was enjoying her breakfast, until her dad broke the question.

"Anna, when are you going to get a job?"

She halted and looked at her father guiltily. " Emm... soon?"

Her father sighed and continued watching television. Not wanting to be around for any longer, she ate her breakfast quickly and did the dishes. She walked back to her room and made her bed. She took a quick shower (well, she never takes her sweet time in the bathroom anyway) and dressed in her casual outfit - t-shirt, cardigan, black pants and minimal makeup. Bidding her dad goodbye, she went out to meet her friend.

She lives in an apartment, 7th floor and on her way out, she bumped on her neighbors - two males in their 20's, she assumed. They are good looking but Anna wasn't interested. But her eyes instead found another man with her neighbors. He is ok but there's a bump on his forehead, his lip cut, and dried blood on his cheek.

'Holy shit. You look shit.'

"Excuse me, but what?" one of his neighbors asked suddenly and the question made her jumped. Did she said it out loud?

She maintained her poker face but she could feel cold sweats trickling on her forehead when three pairs of eyes were on her. "What?" was all she could said.

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."
