Chapter 2

It all started with Fatima, young adult, 26 years old, little recognized, simple life, Fatima loved to read, and like many, new technologies gave her new opportunities to know stories, one of her favorite genres was romance, an unreal romance, cloying, little rational, like that last web novel she read, "Beauty and the Beast Emperor"....

"...After the death of her sister after marrying the Beast Emperor, Ana Holy decides to discover the truth behind her death, unaware that she is about to discover true love beyond appearances..." was the synopsis of the novel, finally the anonymous author had concluded it and Fatima read with emotion the last words while walking down the street immersed in her phone.

"Ana Holy and Emperor Hendrik forgot the tragic past that united them to live happily until the end of their days...END!"

Fatima let out an excited squeal, the perfect ending, everyone happy, the villains defeated, the truth of Ana Holy's sister's death revealed and the main characters declaring their love, nothing had gone wrong, nothing could go wrong, or so Fatima thought just before she fell in with a deep sewer.

The music in her headphones did not allow her to hear the machines on, or the worker shouting at her - BEWARE!-, and just like that, Fatima became a confusing news item that would serve as an example for the younger ones:

"Woman dies after not looking at construction zone hole in front of her, witnesses indicate, the woman was looking at her phone with headphones on at the time of the incident."

When Fatima opened her eyes again something was not right, she was lying on a bed in a beautiful and luminous room with Victorian prints in light tones, she tried to speak but from her mouth only babbles came out and immediately a blonde woman approached her, an annoyed woman with strange golden eyes.

- That you are a woman only means that I will have to go through that hell of childbirth again just to try for a boy, but I already told Anton that it will be the last time, three births in one life are more than enough...- complained the woman while she lifted Fatima, it was at that moment when the girl noticed her small, round and fragile baby body. -I don't think you want to have so many siblings either, don't you, Alexandra- said the woman.

Alexandra Trinity Veritas, Fatima had to learn to answer to that name, that place was like a dream, but no matter how much she slept and woke up again the dream did´t end, so she resigned herself and began to give in to this new world, she soon learned that her mother was Countess Margaret Fe Veritas and her father Count Anton Cross Veritas, she had an older sister, Isabel Saint Veritas, but a sense of horror was born in her when the Counts' third baby was born, a girl, Ana Holy Veritas, Ana Holy was not a common name, and with her birth all the pieces began to make sense.

The coincidences with the book.

The kingdom was Renance

Ana Holy was in it

And the scariest thing.

Ana's second sister is the one who dies in order for Ana and the Emperor to fall in love and that sister was Alexandra.

"...Alexandra, horrified after the Emperor's appearance and without the possibility of seeing her family paid her servant to bring her poison that would kill her quickly and painlessly, her death had been suicide, the Emperor had nothing to do with it, Ana Holy moved began to see the Emperor in another way..." That was how Fatima, now Alexandra, remembered it, but she would not allow it, she had no intention of dying again and no intention of getting married either, but as always, things would not go as she wanted.

The times were never precise in the novel so from the birth of Ana, Alexandra lived in expectation of the events, the story began with the proclamation of marriage of the Emperor and the Veritas Family offering their daughter, before that there was nothing, Alexandra only had to wait and live.

The sisters got along very well, they were the three Veritas Beauties, and their popularity was growing even more now that all three had been introduced to society, aged 16, 17 and 19 respectively.

- Lexi, do you think I can wear the pink dress or will you wear it? I don't remember - Ana Holy asked with her angelic voice, no matter how much Alexandra looked at her, Ana was a total star, she was beautiful, her straight and long red hair was lighter than Alexandra and Isabel's, and her golden eyes were round with a special shine, her personality was equally attractive, innocent and nice, like a princess, treated with special care because she was the youngest.

- If you like to wear it, I can wear the blue one, it looks more comfortable- Alexandra answered, at 17 years old she was already used to her pleasant appearance, abundant and rebellious reddish hair, feline golden eyes and rough demeanor, she was sure that Alexandra's wild appearance was due to her features as Fatima, she did not have the essence of a princess, something that if she remembered correctly was a characteristic of the real Alexandra described as weak, sad and delicate.

- The blue was Ana's, if you change it they will complicate the work of the ladies who help us dress- said Isabel who grew up to become the strict mother they didn't have because her real mother, Margaret, was like another teenager, annoyed and disinterested, Isabel's demeanor was elegant, haughty, burgundy hair like her father's and icy golden eyes like her mother's, slender, recently engaged to the only son of her parents' best friends, the Dukes Claves, a wedding more of friendship than of interests.

- Isa, let her wear the pink if she wants to-  Lexi insisted as she saw Ana looking discouraged.

- You'll be the one to give her the accessories and shoes then- Isa concluded, Ana's eyes lit up immediately, Lexi smiled, there was no way Ana wouldn't be a protagonist, she was adorable, if her destiny was to be Empress, she would support her until the end... no need to die.
