Anastasia Imposter

To temper my attitude, Frederick Burke throws me into the mountains. What he doesn't know is that this mountain lies deep within a high-radiation zone. Five months later, he finally shows up with a group of people to bring me back. However, my body is already starting to rot from the radiation. "Anastasia, if you hadn't pushed Colette down the stairs, I wouldn't have punished you like this. I wouldn't have left you to rot on this godforsaken mountain. Do you admit your mistake now?" I kneel on the ground and prostrate myself before Colette Reeves. Frederick freezes and instinctively reaches out to help me up. "Alright, there's no need for this…" I say nothing. I just quietly watch as he grabs my arm. Unbeknownst to him, my body is already soaked in radiation after months in this mountain. Anyone who touches me will slowly begin to rot, too...

I, Anastasia Lancroft, was promised power—then thrown to the wolves. My fiancé betrayed me for a stronger alliance. My father chose his new wife over his own daughter. And I was left with nothing but rage. So I made a choice. The Bastorin. A school for the cruel, the cunning, the next kings of the underworld. I came here for one reason—survival. Instead, I found him: Alexei Vasiliev, the dangerously magnetic ruler of this academy. His gaze pins me. His presence devours me. And he’s not the only one. My stepbrothers are here too—Nathaniel and Gabriel. Cruel. Possessive. Hungry for my downfall. Three men. Three predators. And I’m the prey they refuse to share. Now, I’m the prize in their twisted game— where every glance burns, every threat tempts, and every night drags me closer to surrender. This isn’t a love story. It’s a war for dominance. And I’m the one they all want to claim.

Anastasia tak sengaja menabrak Dalton Obsidian. Mata pria itu terbuka. Hitam, pekat, dan tajam seperti mata elang yang sedang terluka. Selama beberapa detik, waktu seolah berhenti. Pria itu menatap Ana dengan pandangan yang sulit diartikan—antara waspada, terkejut, dan sesuatu yang lebih gelap. "Jangan... panggil... polisi," suara pria itu berat dan serak, diikuti ringisan menahan sakit yang luar biasa. "Demi Tuhan, aku akan menyesali ini," gerutu Ana. Dengan susah payah, dia membantu pria itu bangun lalu membahu pria besar itu, mengerahkan seluruh tenaganya untuk memapah si pria menuju mobilnya. Dia tidak tahu bahwa malam itu, bukan hanya nyawa pria ini yang dia selamatkan, tapi dia juga baru saja menyerahkan kebebasannya sendiri ke tangan seorang pria yang ternyata akan menjeratnya.
