I slowly pushed the door and dragged my smelly self in. Today was not one of those days! Let's start from the beginning of the bad events.

First, my boss yelled at me for spilling coffee on his laptop_It was not my fault—I missed a step and tripped. Then, I had to skip lunch because of an annoying old lady who barely understood the words that I spoke— not only was she slow-witted, even a snail was faster than her. Not to forget, she didn't speak English, I barely understood the words she said, it was not very productive and I wasted and sacrificed my time for nothing.

Thirdly and lastly, the one that crowns it all up, was the walk back home. A buffoon removed a warning sign for an opened sewer_ I fell right into it, it took a couple of men to pull stinky me up. The only good thing, I got pulled out with no injuries. I yelled at the construction workers—pouring every single bad thing about my life on them, they promised to pay for the damages but the deed was already done. I had to stick with the stinky, disgusting, nauseating smell and endure the nasty looks I received as I reached my apartment.

Sighing, I turned to look at the bathroom mirror_my face stained with sewer water, I stared at my reflection. It was the same as always_ my pale green eyes stared back at me tired and hopeless as I was on the inside. My short lashes didn't add much to my look, they were stunted and hardly visible. My chapped nude lips, bushy eyebrows, messy hair and my glasses enhanced the terrible look I was born with.

My phone vibrated in my hand, distracting me. I hesitated before reading the text, knowing what it was made my mood darker.

“Don't forget to send the money for your brother's tuition. Love Mom!” my croaked voice read out.

I screamed as loud as I could.

I am tired! I am tired of everything. I am tired of my parents using me as their personal ATM for their annoying, ridiculous needs. I am tired of my annoying stunted growth boss and his terrible, stressful demands.

I need a life! For once I just want to be loved and liked by someone, to be pampered and spoiled rotten.

When last did I go on a date with a guy? When last did a man walk up to me and be like ‘Hey girl! You are so beautiful, wanna go out sometime?’.

I groaned! Knowing that it has never happened in this life and probably would not happen. My looks always screamed ‘Don’t talk to me! I am a weirdo!’.

 I have never been asked out because of how ugly I am and I have accepted that, I just wished that someone will love the me within. Even if it is not in this world but probably a world where I am extremely beautiful and men are dying just to talk to me.

Stolen novel; please report.

“I wish to leave this world and be in a world where I will be beautiful and noticed!” I yelled at the top of my croaked voice.

I let out a sad, deep breath. It was never going to happen— why do I waste my energy wishing for it?.

A slight creaking noise startled me, I turned_noticing a once closed window suddenly open. It moved with the light rhythm of the night wind. 

I made my way towards it, reaching to close it once more, abruptly my phone beeped in my hand and a notification popped up. I beamed, staring at it. Seeing the notification, I forgot all about the window.

 The latest chapter of the novel ‘Twisted Fate' has been uploaded. I have been reading the book for the past few weeks, I read the comments about it online, the characters enthralled me. I got hooked after the first chapter, ever since then I have been an ardent reader.

The story is based in a flourishing empire, Alderia— where magic and power is everything. It is one thing to possess magic but imagine if the magic is merged with power_One would be unstoppable.

The female lead, Lady Adeline comes from a middle class family, they didn't have much but they had each other. Her parents loved her to bits and grants her tiny, little wishes however they could. 

Her beauty was unmatched in the whole empire of Alderia. Her silver hair kissed by the moon's ethereal glow, shimmered as bright as the stars in the sky. Her innocent blue eyes captivated anyone fortunate to gaze upon it and her voice was as angelic as ever. 

It was no surprise that she captured the hearts of all the four male leads. She had the magical abilities of light which was not quite rare. Lady Adeline could lit up an entire dark room with just a snap of her finger, the power within her was as pure as her heart.

       Prince Cedric, the first male lead fell in love with her the moment his eyes fell on her during the Royal ball thrown for his victory in the war with the Empire of the South. Lady Adeline melted his heart with her warm, enchanting smile sending his heart racing. 

I can vividly remember his thoughts as his eyes fell on her.

'. . .to think the woman in front of me could cause this turmoil within me. I have never felt this confused, excited and nervous all at once! Even during battle, none of these emotions troubled me but yet. . . here she is staring in my direction so innocently, smiling warmly at me. Her pure and pristine nature sends my heart racing and igniting something new. Who is she? I must know her!’.

Prince Cedric was known to be a cold-hearted man with no soul, his crystal blue eyes were dark and horripilating, mirroring into a depth of enigma and solitude. The aura he exuded ignited fear to anyone who gazed upon him. He was feared and ruthless, known to be cruel to his enemies, never giving a second thought before striking them out. A tyrant to many and an upholder of justice to a few.

I let out a dreamy sigh, letting the memory of the novel flow through me slowly. I loved their chemistry, he was a dark tyrant and she was the light that brightened his world. Together they were a match made in heaven.

I quickly rushed and took a hot shower, my toes were tingly knowing that the latest chapter of Twisted fate was out, I just couldn't wait to read it.

        After an hour of scrubbing, rubbing and washing. I was finally done, feeling cleaner than ever. I plopped on my couch with my phone in one hand and a bag of chips in the other, ready to devour the next chapter whole.
