Somehow, I woke up inside a novel, cast as the so-called villain, Esther Crawford, the wealthy heiress forced into "financially supporting" the golden boy of Highmont. My mother, apparently convinced I wouldn't be able to handle him, had secretly spiked his drink with a triple dose of a certain kind of drug. And now Charles Evans, the man who would one day bring my family to ruin, was on the bed in front of me, eyes bloodshot and unfocused, tearing at his tie like a caged animal gone feral. I lay there, trying to decide whether to jump from the tenth floor myself or throw him off first.
