The Ruthless Heir's Unwanted Obsessive Love

“Nina had one simple goal in this godforsaken novel world: to be killed in a fit of unrestrained rage so she could finally return home. Her perfect target was her impulsive brother, Ryan. To push him over the edge, she publicly humiliated his lifelong crush, Ashleigh, in the school cafeteria, practically begging him to strike her down. She stood there, covered in spilled food, eagerly waiting for the fatal blow that would end her misery. But the blow never came. Instead, Ryan accidentally overheard Ashleigh mocking him behind his back, calling him a mindless puppy. The revelation shattered his blind devotion instantly. When Ryan finally looked back at Nina, his eyes weren't filled with the murderous fury she desperately needed. They were filled with agonizing, soul-deep guilt. "I'm sorry," he whispered, taking off his varsity jacket to cover her stained clothes. Nina was utterly horrified. The next day, he broke up with Ashleigh, started cutting Nina's steak for her at dinner, and secretly bought her favorite breakfast. This twisted, sickening display of brotherly affection was a thousand times worse than his fists. Her perfect suicide plan was completely ruined. Why was her chosen executioner suddenly acting like a devoted protector? How was she supposed to die now? As the housekeeper announced the impending return of the family's cold-blooded true heir, a chilling new plan formed in Nina's mind. It was time to target the real monster: Julian.”
