Beast Love Show: All For Her (by Sylvester Raven) novel Chapter 1

"Layla, I know you think I stole your mother and your fiancés. I never wanted it to be like this," Stella Grant said.

"I love Mom dearly, and she loves me. I can only share her love with you.

"But I don't need the mates. I can give them back to you. It's just that they have some misunderstandings about you. So why don't we go on that survival dating show, Primal Hearts, together?

"If you perform well, they'll fall for you."

In the dessert shop, Layla Hale stared at Stella chattering away across the table, inwardly sighing. The plot was unfolding just like in the book.

She had been a survivor in a post-apocalyptic world, struggling to stay alive until she starved to death. Then she woke up as the villainous biological daughter in an interstellar Cinderella story.

The real heiress had a tough life before being brought back to the family. After her return, she spent all her time targeting Stella, the fake heiress. She was obsessed with taking back everything Stella had, everything that should have been hers: her powerful mother, the inheritance of the Grant family, and the five carefully chosen fiancés.

But against Stella, who was meticulously raised by a wealthy family, Layla's petty schemes were no match at all. She lost every time, earning herself the reputation of a vicious, jealous heiress.

Participating in the survival dating show was pivotal for the plot.

Although Stella's words were repulsive, the former Layla, who had been struggling to win back her fiancés' heart, was tempted by the offer and decisively accepted the variety show.

During the live-streamed show, she became a clingy suitor, frantically pursuing the five mates who were meant for Stella. But it only made them despise her, pushing them right into Stella's arms.

The primitive forests of that barren planet were treacherous. The former Layla, heartbroken and lost, never made it back.

Stella, on the other hand, effortlessly claimed everything that belonged to the real heiress, except her bloodline. And that bloodline was no longer a threat.

Knowing the former Layla's fate, would Layla still join the show?

Of course not.

Layla smiled faintly. "I won't be participating in the show, and I won't be taking those fiancés either..."

Stella interrupted Layla without waiting for a response, placing the contract on the table with a confident expression. "I've already signed contracts with those five men. You're the only one left. See you on the show."

As she picked up her bag to leave, Stella recalled something and turned back. "By the way, desserts that cost less than a hundred credits are made with inferior ingredients. They're not befitting of the Grant family's heiress.

"I ordered some from 'Pure Bliss Bakery' for you. They'll be here shortly.

"The chef has served the royal family for over thirty years. Their desserts are hard to come by. You're in luck today. I happened to have someone buy some, so I'm sharing some with you."

Layla stared at the small, palm-sized dessert that cost over a thousand dollars and fell silent.

She's really full of herself!

Due to the former Layla's actions, her mother, who doted on Stella, was planning to kick Layla out of the family.

Not wanting to compete with the heartthrob Stella and end up meeting a gruesome end, Layla decided to move out of the Grant Manor herself.

But reality was harsh. She soon realized that she lacked even a month's rent.

Meanwhile, the person who took everything flaunted her success.

Layla picked up the contract, ready to toss it in the trash, when a line caught her eye, and she froze.

"Successfully surviving for one year on the designated planet A13 will grant you full ownership of said planet."

A whole planet for just one year of survival?

Layla, who had been surviving in the post-apocalyptic world for over a decade, was instantly stunned. She opened her smart device to search for how much a planet was worth.

The latest transaction showed a small planet selling for 46 billion credits.

She immediately signed the contract.

*****

Time passed, and the live broadcast of the survival dating show Primal Hearts arrived.
