Bella was seated in her room, reading her most favorite novel ,One Life to Live. She dimmed the lights in her room, letting the soft glow wrap the walls in a warm amber hue. The cozy light made everything else fade from her sight ,as if the entire world had melted away, leaving only her and the story in her hands. She felt herself transforming, drifting into another world. She sat on her most comfortable reading chair, positioned near the large open window.

BREAKING NEWS: Von Howard Empire heiress Giselle Von Howard kidnapped in Singapore. I almost dropped the glass. What?

Present Day Emily lived by one rule: look good, work harder. A rule she had set for herself four years ago. Dressed in black pants and a tucked-in pink shirt, accompanied by a pink leather handbag—she stood in the lobby of City Pulse Press.
