It was supposed to be an ordinary day for Kiran when an earthquake hit. She ends up rescuing Alessa, the most popular girl in campus who she envied and admired. Before Kiran could save herself however, she falls into a sinkhole and wakes up to a different world with a crystal blade pressed against her throat. There she meets Noorh, the culprit behind the earthquake that was triggered to kidnap Alessa. With no way to return Kiran back to her world, Noorh takes her back to his home where she becomes the revered "Lahnthean Aria" in Alessa's place. Behind the prestige and adoration that the Lahnthean Aria receives and Noorh's cold demeanor lies secrets that Kiran must uncover to survive and find a way back home...That is, if there is any chance for her to return.

I woke up groggily to the sound of my alarm clock ringing beside me, i reaches over and turned the annoying object off as I sat up still feeling pains all over my body.
Aargh!
My body ached as a result of what that monster did to me yesterday.
I still can't feel my legs.
it hurts so bad.
Sometimes, I wish that I wasn't adopted by the Williams family then maybe I wouldn't have met that asshole, Alan Williams.
Then maybe I wouldn't have been like this.
Though that means I would still be at that orphanage but it doesn't matter.
At least , my safety would have still been assured.,
Rather than me living in fear in this house all the rest of my life as long as Alan is alive and is in the same house with me.
I stood up from my large sized pink bed reluctantly and went to my main room door, limping to get it before locking it shut.
Then I grabbed my towel before I went to the bathroom. I can not take any chances, who knows, Alan might just come in.
I took my clothes off and stared at myself in the bathroom large sized mirror. I totally looked a mess, my green eyes as usual always depicts sadness which I try to cover up and my blonde hair didn't even have its normal shine.
And my body, i have marks due to the beatings I usually receive from Alan.
I sighed and took my sponge lathering it with soap making sure to scrub every part of my body so as to wash the touch of that monster away from me.
Minutes later, i came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel. I took off my shower cap and let my blonde wavy hair fall past my shoulders.
I dried my body and applied lotion to my skin. Luckily I always covered the marks I receive with makeup; concealer always do the trick all the time.
My chest started heaving fast when I heard a knock on the door.
Please let it be Mum or Dad, either of them but not him.
A knock came on the door again.
"Darling sister, let me in". Alan's voice sounded through the door.
I breathed heavily as i knew that I'll have to open the door or else my parents are gonna inquire why my doors are closed and I can't tell them that it's because of their son.
They think that Alan and I have a healthy working relationship as brother and sister but they don't know what he does to me very little chance he gets.
I dare not say a thing about it or he will kill me so I've never told anyone about it which kills me inside because I desperately need someone to talk to about all this but I can't or else Dylan will hurt that person.
"Little sister, just let me in". His voice came again.
If I don't let him inside then he's definitely gonna kill me sooner or later and I can't afford for him to beat me up again.
Its the first day of senior year and I can't go to school looking like as if I got run over by a truck.
I held my towel tight as I hesitated before walking towards the door, i took a deep breath before opening it.
Alan came in immediately frowning as he enters the room, he pushed me aside and closed the door shut.
"Why was your door closed?". He asked harshly.
"I umm, was takin .. taking a .. a bath". I stuttered nervously.
"What did I say about closed doors?".
I wish i could defend myself but I can't, the last time I did that I got beaten up badly and the worse thing was that my parents were on a business trip.
It was just Alan and I, he made my life a living hell back then. So thats why I rarely fight back when he does this things to me, i really do not want him to kill me.
He frowns walking towards me as I moved backwards in fright, i eventually hit my legs against the bed.
He trailed his fingers down my arms. "I really want to taste you again".
"Please don't". I sobbed quietly.
He smirked at me. "When do I ever care about what you say?".
He pushed me on the bed as he removed his trousers.
"Alan!!". I protested.
"Just shush". He covered my mouth. "Mum and Dad are here, remember?".
He tried to remove my towel but i held it firmly which earned me a slap. Another slap on my face which makes me go numb.
"Don't make me do this the hard way".
"Alan, please". I begged him.
"Don't you dare try to resist me, Natasha".
He took my hands and held it above my head forcefully. I hate it when he calls my name with his filthy mouth. I wish i can just kill him with my bare hands.
"We both know you want this". He said lowering his lips to my body.
I stared murderously at him, if only my eyes alone can kill him.
I closed my eyes trying to make everything go away, trying to make him go away but that never happens.
I wish I had a normal life and got adopted into a better family. My adopted parents are the best and they care for me but their jerk of a son is the complete opposite.
I bit my lips so as not to cry because it would only make him angry and I can't take that chance.
After he did what he had to do, he stood up from the bed and gave me a smirk before leaving my room.
I sat up and hugged my knees to my chest crying, when will all this torture end? To him, i'm like a toy to him which he treated anyhow he wanted, life is cruel for me.
I'm no longer the girl i used to be, although i was still beautiful but i never saw myself as that.
I have scars on my skin in hidden places, my heart was hurting.
I stood up with tears still plastered on my face. I went back to the bathroom and splashed water on my face hoping that would clear everything.
I took another bath, this time scrubbing my body even harder. I can't help it.
Alan disgusts me.
I sighed walking back to my room, i went to my drawer and fetched some pills from the bottle. I swallowed the pills and hid it back in the drawer closing it.
I always take contraceptive pills whenever Alan does these things to me. I can't risk having a child while being a teenager and victim of rape.
I walked to my wardrobe searching for the right clothes to wear.
I decided on black undies then Green long sleeved shirt, black leggings and black low cut vans. I always make sure to wear long sleeved shirts so as to cover my bruises.
I faced my bedside mirror, i glanced at my face contemplating on whether to put on makeup or not.
Nah!! I look okay like this.
I just brushed my wavy blonde hair so it tumbles past my shoulders. I put a little blush on my cheeks and smiled in the mirror.
My green long sleeved shirt matching with my forest green eyes. I smiled again, at least let me be happy for once.
I picked my backpack and shoved most of my writing materials in it before wearing it over my shoulder and went out of my room.
I walked down the stairs slowly before getting to the down. I walked to the dining room and met my parents setting up the table.
"Good morning, Mum, Dad". I greeted.
"Good morning baby, have a seat".
I took a seat at the dining table and she placed my breakfast in front of me.
Pancakes dripping with batter filled sugary coating and maple syrup.
"Thanks Mum". I smiled at her.
She sat at the dining table along with my Dad. I watched them as they gave each other love glances.
Sometimes, they would forget where they are by just staring at each other eyes. Their love is strong but it also made them blind to what their stupid son grew up to be.
Dad dropped his fork. "Where's Alan?".
"He is late for family breakfast". My Mum added. "Tasha, sweetie, please go call your brother".
My throat tightened as they said that, i took my glass of water on the table gulping it down quickly.
"Is everything alright?". Mum asked looking at me.
There's no way i'm going up there to call Alan. What if he does something to me again?
"Good morning".
I heaved a sigh of relief as Alan sat down at the table. Thankfully, i'm not alone with him.
"Why did you take long?". Dad questioned.
"I had to finish up school work".
Liar!!
Dad nodded in response and focused his attention on Mum as they continue their love staring.
I forked a bite out the pancake as I glared at Alan. Gosh!! I hate him so much.
No one knows about the facade he puts on. The real Alan Williams does a lot of bad stuffs, he even takes drugs.
But at school, he acts like an angel who does his school and is always attentive in class. Everyone thinks he's some intelligent champ but the truth is he has someone who does his assignments for him.
There's more to Alan Williams that students at school don't know. They think that I'm lucky to have a brother like him, even girls drool over him.
Whats worth drooling for in him? His nasty attitude or the fact that his whole existence was a mistake.
"So what did you guys talk about this morning?". Mum asked jolting into my thoughts.
Alan stopped eating. "This morning?".
"Yeah I heard when you went into Tasha's room".
Busted, I hope they figure everything out already. I'm dying of silence.
"She wanted my help with her school work". Alan lied.

What do you guys think?
"This is Kiran, a new attendant-in-training under my care," Saia said, introducing Kiran to the owner of an accessory shop they visited in the Merchants' District. "She's from the West and she's not well-acquainted with the District yet so I'm giving her a tour during a much needed break from her lessons.""Nice to meet you, young lady," the woman who Paulienne whispered was an acclaimed artisan in Lahnthea said, with a warm smile on her lips. "You're lucky to join the palace with the Lahnthean Aria in our midst.""So I heard," Kiran said, trying to smile at the comment. She was the Lahnthean Aria after all, but she wouldn't admit it to the kind woman. Saia suggested they visit the District as ordinary people - or as ordinary as Saia's public identity could allow.Despite how much a spectacle Kiran's arrival in the palace was, not many were able to remember her face especially when she was half-running to catch up with Noorh the entire time. Even when informatio
Kiran looked out the window of the crystal-powered carriage she rode to the Merchant's District with Saia, her attendant named Rueinna, and Paulienne.The vehicle, which reminded her more of Cinderella's carriage without the horses, had a driver at an external seat in front while two guards in casual noble clothes perched on external seats at the back. They drove toward one side of the citadel and crossed a bridge that led to the small island where the Merchant's District was located. The bridge gave Kiran a view of the village across the lake that surrounded the citadel: brick houses and buildings where common folk lived.There were two official routes to the Merchant's District. First was by land, which crossed the citadel. Common folk were generally prohibited from entering the citadel, unless they received special passes from its authorities that allowed them to do so. The passes were often granted to common folk who were under the employment of nobles as attendant
Khas was an excellent communicator. That was the only wholesome explanation that Kiran could think of when she realized how long she had been talking to him.Kiran wasn't particularly talkative unless she was with close friends, which were a handful of people at most who she had known long enough to act as herself around them. Khas was someone she had known for a short while so he couldn't be part of that group, but she was still able to behave in a carefree manner around him.After exchanging the usual pleasantries, Khas guided her out of the building and began their conversation by asking about the food she ate for dinner.Dinners in the palace were different from what Kiran saw on TV shows that featured royalty. Residents didn't always have their meals in the dining hall. In fact, Khas explained that the dining hall was mostly a place where formal banquets were held. Residents of the palace rarely dined there. They instead had their meals in the confines of t
Diel's lessons thankfully ended without leaving Kiran another life-threatening homework. He even retracted the assignment he gave her in the morning after she showed him the book that Noorh gave her at lunch. Diel also cancelled their lessons for the next day, which would have been something she would have celebrated if it wasn't given after a slightly tensed conversation she had with him when they wrapped up the day.Kiran walked down the garden path to her quarters with a frown on her face. Her mind kept repeating the incident in the classroom."That ends today's session," Diel announced, closing the book on his desk as he stood in front of Kiran. "Questions?"Kiran's conversation with Saia made her realize that she had to know exactly why Diel wasn't teaching her magic. Saia's explanation made sense, but it left her wondering why Diel didn't just outright explain it to her. She knew she wouldn't be able to sleep that night if she just brooded over it so she threw all caution to the
Noorh stood frozen under the arch that served as the entrance to Diel's outdoor garden; his eyes wide at the sight of the two women who plagued his thoughts that morning. Noorh was sure that there wasn't anything particularly wrong with his visit. He even received Diel's permission. But he couldn't help feel uneasy at being there with Saia after hearing Arha's and Ethyal's explanation about Kiran's behavior in the library.Why was Saia even there? Did she hear about the incident in the library from someone? Did it upset her? Did she meet Kiran to confront her about it?"Your highness," Saia greeted, before Noorh could decide on whether he should immediately explain what happened or wait for her to ask him questions.Kiran anxiously studied the calm expression on Saia's face. Was she suspicious about Noorh's sudden appearance? Why was Noorh even there to begin with?! She turned her sights back to Noorh and noticed the book he held in one hand. "Oh! Are you here t
Lady Saia was just as elegant and beautiful as Kiran remembered from the banquet, if not more. Every movement she made as done with an air of sophistication and grace, complimenting her stunning features. Kiran couldn't help but think that Saia undoubtedly deserved to be crowned as queen."I'm sorry," Saia began. "I didn't mean to rudely interrupt your lunch. I've always wanted to meet you personally after the banquet, but I heard that this is the only time you were available.""Oh no, please, it's alright," Kiran quickly said, rising to her seat. "I'm happy to meet you here. I've also been looking forward to talking with you more. You can take this seat if you like," she said, offering the chair across from her. "Diel-I mean totem Siit won't be joining me for lunch today.""Thank you, that's very kind of you, your grace," Saia said before gracefully taking the seat."Please call me 'Kiran,'" Kiran replied, taking a seat herself. "I’m not really into being addressed like that."Saia s
