Eugenia’s new life as a minor maid villain in a novel was supposed to be simple: survive, then escape. But just as she was about to make her grand exit, fate—or perhaps a mischievous author—threw a wrench in her plans. The original story’s young male lead, Joshua, cornered her with a perilous proposition: guide him and his twin to the distant Aisha Empire, and a fortune in jewels would be hers. Her adult conscience, a pesky thing, wouldn’t let her ignore the desperate plea. Now, instead of freedom, Eugenia finds herself entangled in a web far more dangerous than she ever imagined, playing guardian to two powerful children in a world she was only meant to observe. Can she navigate this treacherous path without losing her life, or her heart? Dive into chapter 1 to uncover Eugenia’s unexpected journey!
