A spinoff from my first ever book in Wattpad BEAUTY which centers around beauty and how people especially women should love themselves better other than looking at others and putting on that reflection as themselves.A story about perfection and self acceptance.

It explores love, family and friendship as the world around them changes and evolves an era where beauty reigns supreme, a young lady must learn how to conform to society while staying her ground as a Countess to her people and as an ordinary human being.

Once upon a time, in the book of Poison Blood, there lived a girl named Rosa. Rosa was the daughter of a commoner. She was pretty, kind and talented. A perfect girl for any man. One day, she caught the eyes of two freaking handsome men. The first one was the 2nd Prince, Braxton. He was a free-spirited man and everyone loves him. A blonde hair and blue jewel eyes. Who wouldn't like him?!?! The second guy though was Mateo, the duke of Bernardo. The Bernardo family is a wealthy and powerful family. They're just behind the royal family. Although they are the second to most powerful family, they are also known to be killers and criminals. Outside their estate, you can just see many dead bodies. Mateo has a wife named Lyra but he wouldn't mind bringing another lady to the harem? *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ Anyways, it was like a love triangle basically. Two of the guys loved Rosa dearly. One day, Rosa had to pick which one of them. Rosa picked the 2nd prince. I mean Rosa dearly loved him and just consider Mateo a brother. This basically made Mateo enraged and made a revolution against the kingdom. War ensued and bloodshed was a must. After years of fighting, Mateo killed the royal family. Everyone (the royal family) was dead. Including the 2nd prince. Rosa was depressed and committed suicide. Of course, the same old thing. When Mateo heard the news, he couldn't believe it and committed suicide also. Damn, this story doesn't make sense at all. All 3 characthers died. Time to go to sleep, I guess. *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ I wake up with my eyes half-closed. That's weird. My alarm didn't ring, but that was such a good sleep after how long. "Your grace, your awake. His Grace is calling for you," said one of the maids. W-w-w-what? What do you mean your grace? I looked at the mirror. Pinkish-red hair, green eyes. Oh dear, I think I got reincarnated as Lyra. Cover photo not mine!

"Rosanna? My poor girl, I'm afraid I have some terrible news." "Martha? What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost." I ask, looking up from the table where I sat with my papers. Martha clutches a creamy waxed envelope in her hands and begins to weep, letting the paper sway to the ground. I rush over to her, carefully lowering her onto the sofa before grabbing up the letter and tearing it open so I could see what had made my poor housekeeper so distraught. I blinked, the world slowed down and I lost my breath. "I'm so sorry, I'm so very sorry my poor rose," Martha wept, "an orphan! My poor Rosanna has become an orphan!" The paper slowly returns to its previous position on the ground and I walk over to the large glass windows opposite to me that looked out on to the emerald gardens filled with dainty, fragrant flowers. My hands shake as I place them onto the sill and I realise the servants and footmen were standing around the edges of the room solemnly, their hands clasped and heads lowered at my loss. "He was a good man Rosie, your father was a good man." Peter murmured to me, his old wrinkled face drooping with sorrow. I clutched my chest when a spasm of sudden pain hit me realising my life would change forever.
