"... Also, kill her slut brother too!"
"Your brother's costumer that time was a beginner, and accidentally killed him in the bed. Pft, how shameful that was! Hahaha!"
"Now that your brother is gone, you're the only one left for your mother. Tell your mother she should just give the key to me and I will let you go!"
"You're brother is a shame to the family!"
"Beat her to death! Since there is no key, there is no reason for her to live!"
"At least you saw your mother's lost pieces before your turn, right? No worries, we'll make your death not too much pain, for your father's sake..."
"You lost everything, Carla."
"Enjoy~"
"Ahhh!" Carla woke up an instance from the nightmare, "Huff, huff,"
"Master!" The butterflies immediately emerged from her space with worries.
Carla tried to calm down, she sat down on her bed and breathes to calm herself while she closed her eyes. "I'm fine," then, she laid down on the bed and clutches the blanket.
The butterflies were worried about her that they didn't go back to space and instead lie down beside her.
With butterflies around her, Carla felt more at ease.
She didn't know why she dreamt of her past life, but she didn't like it. She was grateful that it was just a dream, and this is real.
The past is the past. She doesn't want to forget about it, however, she didn't want to live in it.
Carla felt like her past life wanted to make her remember her hatred. After two years of staying at this time, she forgot her hatred but instead remembers her fears.
What exactly does she want to do in this life?
Escape the mansion with her loved ones and save them?
Or take revenge?
She didn't want to lose anyone this time. She was scared.
She was trying to be tough, but deep inside, she knew she was weak and afraid.
She wasn't as smart as the mother and daughter duo, she doesn't have the confidence to fight head-on against them.
But she was trying to be tough and do her best to protect everyone she cares about.
All she wanted was for her loved ones to be safe and free. She was afraid of getting revenge, as karma is a bitch, it's way stronger and faster than her fart.
If she takes revenge, she might lose her family again. She can't afford that to happen.
That is why, for now, she will wait for her younger brother to be born, and make sure her mother and brother are safe.
If along the way, she got an opportunity or if that mother and daughter duo is in her way again, then, screw karma, she'll do the same thing they did to her in her past life!
The butterflies felt her worries and hatred, they flapped their wings and surrounded her showing their support. Then, they lie down again.
Carla's consciousness slowly drifts away and fell asleep when she felt comfortable with the butterflies around her.
....
It's been weeks after Carla had that nightmare. She does the same thing every day.
Watching one or two cartoons, especially in front of Annalisa. Then learning new things alone when Annalisa is busy trying to gain the servants' trust.
When Annalisa is busy flirting, Carla keeps impressing her mother and their servants. Sometimes, when Carla and Claude together alone, she showed him her good and intelligent side to him and told him that her mother teaches her.
Of course, Claude was very proud of that. However, his best buddy between his pants is busy trying to get someone else's attention.
Carla didn't bother him that much, thus, Claude didn't notice anything different around the house.
Every meal that all of them are together though, Annalisa showed shyness which Leila didn't notice as she was busy taking care of her daughter and she thought everything seems to be normal.
Claude keeps glancing at Annalisa and blushes when their eyes met. Which disgusted Carla.
Thus, Carla doesn't have much appetite every time she ate with them. Still, she had to eat in front of them to not make her mother worry.
It was already bedtime when Carla's parents went home. Claude said he will be staying overnight in his office room, hence, Leila will be sleeping in Carla's room as she misses her.
Carla, on the other hand, had a disturbing feeling. She guessed that something might happen tonight. And she didn't want to know about it.
....
Claude sent a message to Annalisa to help him get some snacks if she can. Of course, she agreed as she is still awake. He, of course, thought Annalisa was really naive. He didn't think that Annalisa is already expecting him to invite her.
Knock knock
Claude opened the door for Annalisa, "Come in,"
"Thank you," Annalisa smiled as she went in with a tray in her hands. Then, she blushed and slowly turned around to go out immediately.
However, this time, Claude didn't let her escape and stopped her. "Come eat with me, I feel isolated eating alone."
Annalisa feigned ignorance and stayed with a pitying look.
Seeing her like this, Claude wanted to eat her right now but doesn't want to scare her.
He ate little by little of the food she brought while the two of them chatted. And Annalisa seems loosened up that he tried to make a move to see what she will react.
He holds her hand and sat close to her. Annalisa looked stunned, and he babbles some words again to make her feel at ease. Then, he started to kiss her, slowly from the cheeks to lips, to the neck.
Annalisa was petrified, she moaned, when her senses came back, she stops him. "Th-this is wrong! St-stop..."
Claude stops and looked at her with an alluring look, he whispered, "Do you really want to stop?" He bit her ears and played with them.
Annalisa moaned and couldn't utter a word. Her reactions answered his question.
He didn't stop and go all the way to her base and did the homerun tonight.
