Living alone where she only saw herself, her cat and her grandfather, Fortune found life easy. Then one day, she comes across a book in her grandfather's Library and it takes her to another world. A world far back in time. She meets the famous Emperor and they gradually fall in love.

Chapter 1 BIG WEIRD BOOK!

Fortune is a modern girl with brown hair and beautiful scarlet color eyes. It was really rare to see someone with scarlet color eyes and so she was deemed special. She lost her parents when she was two years old and her grandpa took her in. She loved reading and had a pet cat, Sage. Sage followed her everywhere and she loved it.

Fortune wasn't the type that payed attention to cute and cool guys but her beauty got them lining up. Girls saw her as a competition but she didn't care. She had a great sense of humor and could joke with anything and get away with it. Her smile was her charm and she looked so innocent but she always has a ace up her sleeves. She'd never listen to gossip and isolate herself just to get away from trouble even if she was a trouble maker.

Fortune hoped to get all the books she could read and unlock each meaning. She always referred to books as cages that held secrets captive and it was her job set them free of their secrets and that was what motivated her to always read. The mysteries, she would say, needs to be unlocked in a quiet and balanced place of both ideology and comfort and so she chose a spot in the garden where all this was found and names it her special spot. Life went on that way for her and she lived up to each passing day to always solve a mystery in a book.

Fortune was cleaning up her grandfathers study room when she came across a big weird book. It had some ancient writings on the front cover that she couldn't understand. She looked at it as a kind of mystery that needed to be solved and the only place to do that was her special spot in the garden.

"Grandpa, I'll be heading out with Sage" She announced as she stuffed the book inside her bag pack.

"Take your phone with you." Her grandpa reminded and she did just that. She put in her usual stuff. Her camera, a pair of binoculars, a recorder and of course a few snacks. It all went in the bag smoothly and she flung it over her back.

"Bye grandpa." She said and made for the door.

"Fortune be careful. Where you're going is a very strange land, you better watch your back"he advised

"What are you talking about grandpa? Am only going to the garden, its not far from here" Fortune said feeling that her grandpa was mistaking her movement to the garden to somewhere else. Her grandpa smiled in response to what she said and nodded.

Fortune got to the garden and parked her bicycle by a tree. She found her way to her special spot and dropped her bagpack on the floor. Sage found its way out of the bag and rubbed its fur allover Fortune's leg.

"You came out early " Fortune said and Sage purred earning a chuckle from her. She sat on the grass and took out the book. "Now let's see what mysteries lie within this book" she said and opened the it. All of a sudden, the letters in the book sprang up in the air in golden colors and formed a magic circle around them.

"What the... " the magic circle surrounded them and they found themselves falling from the sky. "Ahhhhhh!" Fortune screamed as they fell and Sage clung on to her back as she braised herself to crash on the roof bellow. They crashed through the roof and fortunately, landed on something soft but couldn't see a thing, it was all dark.

"What just happened? And... Where are we? "

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
