The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 1: A hero never dies__but i am no hero

"Sigrid, it's best for you to accept your inevitable death, hand over the hidden files on my law firm and be on your way. I am not a bad man, i promise to give you a swift death."

These words came from the mouth of Sigrid's beloved fiance Elisha Latham that was pointing a gun at her with a look of determined ruthlessness in his eyes.

Standing next to him in a short red dress was her replacement__Nova Isolde, his new fiancee that had returned from Australia only two weeks ago.

Sigrid could not believe how she could have missed the obvious. She should have known that the coward and the bitch were exchanging body fluids intimately when she saw them giggling closely during coffee breaks like a catty pair of whores at work.

"Sigrid, you bitch, did you really think that Mr. Latham would really allow you to marry his son and become a partner? The name of the law firm is Latham and Isolde..he is Latham and I am Isolde. There is no room in there for a Piper Sigrid." Nova snidely laughed.

She moved towards Sigrid, her heels were dragging against the floor because she simply had not learned how to walk properly as a child.

Nova always walked as if she lacked energy. Sigrid was willing to bet that she was as unenthusiastic in bed, laying there like a lazy overly inflated blow up doll.

A sharp pain Sigrid's chest reminded her of her current critical health situation. She was injured from three gun shot wounds, two to her right arm and one to the left lower abdomen.

She could feel the life slipping from her and she was barely holding on, her death was close but she refused to accept it.

Her mind wandered for a second, this was the perfect moment for a heroic come back, the part in the movie where a miraculous rescue happens and the villains are defeated. A hero never dies, after all!

Unfortunately for her, this was no movie and she was no hero: she was just like these two bad eggs Elisha and Nova, a real life villain.

Sigrid had always known that her ending would not be good and she never held any ridiculous dreams of making it into heaven.

From the moment Mike Latham bought her from a human trafficker at the young age of ten, she had done nothing but bring misery to others especially as an adult. As a lawyer, she used the law to destroy so many innocent people. She had turned good into bad, white into black, it is only karmic justice that she too be destroyed in the end.

Of course, she never thought that her adoptive father and his son, her husband to be would be the ones to deliver that justice. That, she particularly found unfair.

She also didn't think that it would happen on the day of her engagement. she had prepared so excessively for this day, sparing no expense.
