A/N.: Just to clear some things up, in your past lives you live with the same people you know now, but in a past life, for instance, your mom could have been your sister and your sister could have been your worst enemy...

I kept the same name for the characters but I changed their last names.

Disclaimer: I own nothing...except for the plot...

Chapter 1

"Are you trying to kill me?" I gasped at my maid while she was tying my corset up.

"Don't be dramatic Susannah." She said. "It's not even that tight."

"How would you know?" I was pretty much dying in that thing; I've always hated wearing corsets they are so uncomfortable and frankly the one who invented them should be killed. Of course that the one who invented corsets probably died a long time ago but it still deserved a painful death…

"I'm the one tying it up." She answered. I must say, Gina is like my second mother, she practically was the one who raised me.

"I hate wearing this thing…" I said with a sigh.

"I know sweetheart." Gina said still tying the damn corset up. "As I often say, you're way ahead of this time."

I laughed. Well or something close to a laugh, after all there weren't a lot of things that I could do wearing a corset…

Anyway, Gina always says that I don't belong in the 16th century. She says that I have an ahead of time soul. This for my mother means that I have an attitude problem.

"Done!" Gina exclaimed. "Now let's get your dress."

I sighed. This time not because I was uncomfortable, this time it was a sad sigh.

"Don't be like that Susannah." Gina said coming back with my party dress. I have to say it is a beautiful dress, it's blue and silver with a long sleeve and the skirt covers my feet.

"How can I not be?" I asked grumpily. "I'm in a terrible situation!"

Let me clear things up for you. I'm betrothed with a count called Paul Trent, but I'm in love with his brother Jesse de Oliveira. No need to say, they've different last names, but the thing is, Paul's dad married a Portuguese woman –Jesse's mother- so they're not exactly brothers however they were raised together.

Paul is a real jerk, he's manipulative, arrogant and he has a God complex as Jesse is the complete opposite, he's kind and honest. So you see how could I be in love with Paul and not with Jesse?

Now how did I end up betrothed to Paul?

You can blame my mother for that, just the fact that Paul is a count, had already granted him my hand and on top of that he's rich. But how did my mother not realized that Paul is well…evil?

As I said, he's manipulative and my mother totally fell for his charms. I tried to convince her that Jesse is much better suited for me, but it was no good. Mother doesn't like Portuguese people, she never told me why though…

So you see I'm in deep trouble and I have no idea on how to get out of it.

So what did you think? Should I continue with this?

Leave a little review and tell me:-D
