Aria's fingers danced across the worn wooden flute, coaxing out a melancholic melody that seemed to match the rhythm of her heartbeat. She sat on the edge of her bed, surrounded by the familiar comforts of her small, cluttered room. The flickering candlelight cast eerie shadows on the walls as she played on, lost in the music. As she reached the final notes of the song, Aria felt an odd, tingling sensation in her fingers. It was as if the flute had become an extension of her body, vibrating with an otherworldly energy. She set the instrument aside, feeling a shiver run down her spine.
Suddenly, the air around her seemed to thicken, like the moments before a storm. Aria's senses grew more acute, and she felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end. She was aware of a presence in the room, watching her with an unblinking gaze. Aria spun around, but there was no one there. The presence seemed to be coming from... everywhere. She felt it in the vibrations of the floorboards, in the whispering shadows, and in the faint hum of the candle's flame. "What's going on?" Aria whispered, her voice barely audible over the pounding of her heart. As she spoke, the presence coalesced into a single, piercing note. It was a sound Aria had never heard before – a frequency that seemed to resonate deep within her very being. The note grew louder, more insistent, and Aria felt herself being drawn into its vortex. She was no longer in her room, but in a realm beyond the mundane world. A realm where the fabric of reality was woven from the very essence of sound.
Aria felt herself being pulled apart and put back together again, her molecular structure vibrating in harmony with the piercing note. The sensation was both exhilarating and terrifying, like being reborn into a new reality. As the note reached a crescendo, Aria found herself standing in a vast, echoing chamber filled with crystalline structures that refracted and reflected the sound in dazzling patterns. The air was alive with vibrations, and Aria felt her very essence resonating with the frequency. Suddenly, the note ceased, and the chamber fell silent. Aria stumbled forward, her senses reeling from the sudden absence of sound. As she looked around, she saw a figure standing at the far end of the chamber. The figure began to walk towards her, its footsteps echoing off the crystal structures. Aria saw that it was a woman with long, flowing hair and eyes that shone like stars. The woman's presence was both captivating and unnerving, like a magnet drawing Aria inexorably towards her. "Who are you?" Aria asked, her voice barely above a whisper. The woman smiled, and her eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief. "I am the Guardian of the Frequency," she replied, her voice like music. "And you, Aria, are the key to unlocking its secrets." Aria felt a shiver run down her spine as the woman's words hung in the air like a challenge.

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
