Chapter 1 - A beginning of the end

Scrolling on the phone reading the novel "Sweetheart being doted upon endlessly", Aila jealously wish that her life is that easy like the protagonist.

Only needing to be sweet and good looking to be doted & spoiled upon by a number of men who surprisingly don't tear at each other for wanting only one woman.

Sighing heavily, Aila has finally finished the novel and laid on the bed absentmindedly. Trying to psyche her self up for another work day tomorrow.

She had been orphaned at 16 and thankfully her parents left her enough to get through college without worrying about tuition, board & lodging as well as everyday expenses.

At the age of 29, she wondered where those years went by whereby she just struggled everyday to simply survive by herself. In today's economy, even getting a date seems like a liability. Her unhealthy reading of web novels feeding off her unrealistic expectations of men only added to her unsuccesful romantic life.

Shaking off the gloomy thoughts, Aila set her alarm to 5:30 am, turned off the light and went to sleep.

*******

Aila felt that something heavy is pressed on her and she woke up with a start. She looked around the room and found that everything seems unfamiliar. The room looks too luxurious like it belongs to a 5 star hotel.

Feeling a sense of foreboding, she looked down and found that there's an arm around her waist and she was naked underneath the sheets.

Confused, a sudden headache came that caused her to wince and a flood of information & fragmented memories came to her.

This body belongs to that of Aila Carter who was the daughter of one of the prominent families in Walden City and apparently a known socialite who was also a fling of one of the male leads of the novel she just read last night!

Terrified, she quickly glanced at the man beside her and found that it was Calvin Harrison who was known as the playboy type on the female lead's repertoire of men.

Looking closely, Aila has never seen up close such a good looking man. With a chiseled face, long dark eyelashes with a head full of careless curls, he was simply divine. Running her eyes downward his half naked state, she saw his firm, muscular physique.

Swallowing her saliva, Aila tried to pry away the arm around her waist to get out of bed when suddenly she was pulled back into the arms of the man.
