An old woman looks at the beautiful city lights from her beautiful penthouse while holding a glass of the most expensive wine in her hands.

She calmly savors the delicious wine going down her throat and sighs, observing the cover of her latest book "Unhappy Wife."

It's about a young human named Laura Petro who marries a powerful vampire with twin sons, but she didn't love that vampire, but a simple baron who was the love of her life.

The girl hated her family for handing her over to that rich, handsome, and powerful vampire who made her life a misery along with those bratty sons of his... According to her.

The novel narrates that the children die in an ambush and the powerful vampire is killed in a war against humans.

Laura Petro marries the baron when she becomes a widow and they live happily ever after.

"Balderdash."

Says the 87-year-old woman, frowning, and takes another sip of wine.

The doctors forbade her to drink, but she's going to die of something... Her motto is "What doesn't kill you fattens you up."

The Italian old woman named Luciana Moretti sighs, looking back on her long life.

From a young age, she made her way into the business world and was a rich, beautiful, and sensual businesswoman, but she had a problem, she couldn't have children and that played an important role in each of her failed marriages... Men don't want a woman who can't give them children, even if they pretend to love you no matter what, but the truth is another, they always look for a lover who can give them children of their own blood, and Luciana Moretti learned that with every man she married and swore eternal love to.

"Love... I don't believe in that, it's a mere fantasy that humans invented."

She says with a voice full of pain... She once loved, but her partner showed her with facts that her feelings were useless... Love does not exist.

A sharp pain in her chest causes Luciana's glass to fall to the floor with a deafening noise and she begins to feel dizzy.

"Is this going to be my end?"

She murmurs with a bitter taste while thinking that she has left all her assets in order.

Her family saw her as a money tree, every time they needed something they went to her to ask and ask... Now if she dies, all her assets will go to foundations for orphaned children, needy children, and foundations for people with terminal illnesses, her patrimony is a lot so it will be of good help... To her family... Let them dedicate themselves to work as she did and sweat those fat silicone butts they have.

With a smile, Luciana falls on her soft and expensive sofa to take her last breath.

I open my eyes and stare at the strange, vintage-style ceiling.

I thought I was dead... Could it be that the cleaning lady found me and took me to the hospital?

I slowly sit up in bed, but I feel strange not feeling the severe back pain that I was already used to.

"That's weird... Did they give me a strong medication or something?"

I rub my eyes to get a good look at the room I'm in, but I'm surprised to feel my face soft and without wrinkles.

"But... What..."

I open my mouth and eyes as I feel soft, thick hair, which I've always worn short because of the heat it gave me... How long have I been in this bed that my hair grew so long?

My eyes automatically go to my hands, and I observe a soft, delicate, very white skin.

"I'm dreaming."

I murmur again, and in one leap, I'm on my feet looking at my body, and I touch my breasts, which are very perky and somewhat generous.

"My breasts were saggy and flabby... This definitely has to be a dream."

I speak, and my voice is different... It's kind of soft and delicate... I feel strange.

I look for a mirror, but I don't see anything like that, and I start walking, feeling strange for not feeling the pain in my knees.

I look at my beautiful arm, and like the girls in the kdramas, I pinch myself hard.

"Ouch, that hurt."

I complain, caressing the hard pinch I gave myself, but I don't quite assimilate what's happening to me when the door is knocked on, and I jump again in fright.

I remain silent, but it is knocked on insistently again.

"Come in."

I say as I had said many times, but this time my voice comes out more delicate and soft.

The door immediately opens, and a girl dressed as a maid in the old style and with a serious face, enters with her head bowed and makes a bow.

"I'm sorry to interrupt you, Mrs. Cortes, but it's been a month since you've left this room, and the master demands your presence for breakfast."

The woman says in a low voice, and I furrow my brow in confusion.

"What?"

"Madam, I know you said not to bother you, but those are the master's orders."

The woman says and makes a sign with her hands, and five girls dressed in the same way enter through the door and walk towards me without saying a word.

Not knowing what to do, I stay in the same place, and the women begin to touch my body, removing each garment of clothing I was wearing and then dragging me to another immense room.

I observe a beautiful tub with very luxurious golden edges.

"My lady, I am sorry that it is this way, but I must follow the master's orders."

"Okay, Lidia."

I furrow my brow when I say the woman's name, and some memories come to my mind, causing me to feel a sharp headache, but I don't have more time to think when the women enter me into the tub, which smells really good, and begin to scrub my body delicately.

I close my eyes as I see them pampering me, and I relax, enjoying the moment.

"This is great."

I murmur, giving a sigh of satisfaction.

"If this is a dream... I'm going to enjoy it to the fullest."

I murmur to myself.

The girls take me out of the water and dry my body, performing a whole ritual on my body that I really love as I feel those rich, delicate aromas.

I don't move a finger and just feel them squeeze here, squeeze there, give me light massages, comb my hair, pamper my face until they finish.

"Okay, you can leave."

I hear Lidia's voice, and I open my eyes.

"There's the mirror, my lady, I know you don't like to look at yourself, but please, make an attempt."

She points to a huge mirror, and I walk towards it, opening my mouth when I look at myself.

Wow, but I'm beautiful.

I think, touching my face, nose, lips... Hair... What beautiful red hair I have.

"I don't like this dress."

I murmur, furrowing my brow.

"Did you say something, my lady?"

"No."

I smile at her from the side, and the woman just nods.

"Good, then follow me, madam, the master is already waiting for you."

I don't say anything and follow the maid through some long, dark, and endless corridors.

I pass by a huge window, and when I look outside, everything is dark, so I deduce that it is night.

After going down some long stairs, Lidia walks towards another short corridor and opens some gigantic marble doors.

"My lady, please don't make the master angry, I know he's not to your liking, but please be patient with him."

She gives me way, and I enter a luxurious, brightly lit room with a giant dining room.

"You're late."

I hear a husky voice that makes me look in that direction immediately.

"For heaven's sake."

With firm and delicate steps, I walk to sit next to the handsome man who, upon closer inspection, is even more beautiful.

"I'm not hungry anymore, Dad. Can I go?"

I hear a tiny, delicate voice and turn my gaze to four pairs of eyes that glare at me, but then the girl smiles mischievously, making me raise my eyebrows.

The girl is beautiful, but at first glance, she looks spoiled and pampered. The boy, on the other hand, doesn't change his expression and just looks at me with distaste.

"You can leave after dinner."

I hold my breath when I hear that husky voice that gives me very bad thoughts.

As expected, the girl throws a tantrum worthy of a spanking, but she doesn't move from the chair and crosses her arms angrily.

My hands are itching to correct her, but I maintain my composure while taking a bit of air that I desperately need.

Several servants arrive with many dishes and arrange everything very delicately and beautifully, it almost makes me not want to touch anything.

The servants make an exaggerated bow and then retire.

The handsome man next to me begins to serve his food, and the children and I follow suit.

I savor the delicious food with pleasure, and everything is truly very tasty, everything is perfect and well-cooked.

I look up at the children, and one of my eyes starts to twitch when I see them pushing the vegetables aside.

"No, no... You have to eat the vegetables too."

I speak in a serious tone of voice, but it comes out very soft and delicate.

"We don't eat that, and you can't force us to."

The girl says haughtily, and I furrow my brow, looking at her seriously as I say.

"You will not get up until you finish eating all the vegetables."

My tone of voice is very slow and measured.

"Dad!"

She calls him in a shrill voice, and he just looks at his food.

"You heard her, that's enough."

Both children look at me angrily, but I just smile wryly as I bring a piece of roasted chicken to my mouth... Mmm, this is delicious.

Out of the corner of my eye, I watch them as they quickly eat all the vegetables until they finish them all.

"We're done. Happy?"

I smile and nod, placing my utensils down delicately.

"Very happy."

The girl just frowns, and the boy looks at his dad intently.

"My sister and I are finished. Can we leave?"

The way the boy speaks surprises me quite a bit; he speaks as if he were an adult.

"You may leave."

He says, and both children leave quickly without looking back.

I try to get up, but his voice stops me, and I look at him.

"We must leave for the capital tomorrow. The emperor's birthday is in three days, and I must arrive with time to spare."

"Mmm, okay."

"I don't want tantrums or childishness. I've had enough in these last two years. Behave like a duchess at my level."

His face doesn't look very happy, and I watch as he gets up from his seat, and before leaving, he says.

"We will leave after breakfast. I hope there are no inconveniences."

I just watch his broad back as I remain seated in the solitude of the enormous table.

"This dream is getting a little complicated."

I whisper and get up to leave as well. I don't plan to stay alone in this lonely place.

"You did very well, my lady. Just don't make the lord angry, and everything will go well."

The maid says, and I just nod as I walk down the same hall I came from.

Upon arriving at the room, the girl takes off my clothes and puts on a strange, ugly robe, but I don't pay much attention and throw myself onto the bed, falling asleep immediately.

(...)

I open my eyes abruptly as my heart pounds in my chest... All the memories of this body came to me while I slept, and the truth is that I am not in a dream.

I am in the story of the last novel I read...

"Damn, I have such bad luck."

I murmur as I get out of bed and start walking around the immense and luxurious room.

"My name is Laura Petro, wife of a powerful vampire named Victor Cortes and stepmother of two twin children, half vampire and half human..."

My gaze goes to a last drawer of the nightstand, and I walk over there, finding several letters that this body keeps from her beloved Richard Harrison... Was she crazy? Having such a hottie... Was she after a good-for-nothing? This is unbelievable.

I jump in fright when the door is knocked on, and I close the drawer immediately.

"Come in."

The same woman from yesterday enters the room, and according to the memories of this body, she is Laura Petro's personal lady, Lidia.

"You have already woken up, my lady."

She says, and I nod without saying anything else.

She approaches me and stealthily hands me a letter.

"My lord says he will be waiting for you after breakfast, my lady."

I furrow my brow and narrow my eyes.

"Burn the letter."

"What?"

She asks in surprise.

"Burn the letter, Lidia. From now on, we will not receive any more letters from Lord Harrison."

Lidia looks at me in surprise, but makes a small bow.

"As you command, my lady."

She says, approaching the fireplace.

"Lidia."

"Yes, my lady."

"Burn the other letters that are in my drawer. I don't want any traces of Baron Harrison."
