As a young woman held her head, she shouted, "Ah!". It felt like it was about to explode. While she slowly opened her eyes, Sarah had a blurry vision and couldn't see well. She looked around where she was and tried to move but couldn't, she looked at her feet that were tied with ropes and her hands that were tied with handcuffs. Her current situation feels familiar since she was sitting in a torture room.
From behind, a male voice echoed, "You're awake already.". As Sarah turned to face the visitor, she noticed that he had a tattoo all over his face, black hair, and black eyes.
"Where am I," Sarah asked as she tried to remove the handcuffs. She hadn't tried removing handcuffs for the first time and it wouldn't be the last time, either.
"You're not qualified to ask questions," replied the man.
"Is that so." She asked with a smirk on her face.
A slash here, a slash there...
A man came up behind Sarah with a dagger and began cutting at the skin on her stomach like he was cutting bread. Her stomach was cut harshly at first, but then he stopped.
A slash here, a slash there...
Drip, drip, drip...
As Sarah hissed, she pondered, 'Why am I here?'? There was an explosion when I attempted to touch the black stone? Have they kidnapped me here as a result of the explosion?'' So many questions filled Sarah's head but there was one she had to clarify.
"W-what happened after the explosion?" Sarah asked while trying not to cry out in pain from the severe injury from a dagger to her stomach,
"What explosion are you speaking of, I brought you here when you got into that taxi, don't act like you have memory loss," he replied with a smile.
"Why did you bring me here then?" Sarah asked, 'Why is he saying I got kidnapped after I got into a taxi? Was he not the one who kidnapped me after the explosion?'
His reply was, "We've been told to get rid of you.".
'I'm too well-known for assassins to hire to kill me. Don't they realize I am a legal person?' Sarah thought.
"Who is this generous individual trying to kill me?" Sarah asked.
"Apparently you are dumb like the rumours say, because who else would want to kill you, but your own sister." He replied while thinking.
"I did not have a sister," Sarah lamented in disbelief. 'I only have my cold-hearted father who controls me like a doll,'
"Lydia Smith, stop acting like a fool. Your sister paid us to kill you, do you get it, then choose how you want to die," He said, playing with his dagger.
'Was that Lydia Smith he called me? In the novel, I read last week, wasn't that character a side character? Is it possible I died as the explosion went off? Is it possible that my soul possessed her body? However, how the hell am I supposed to live here when I remember that she had been killed by her sister? Having been reborn, I can't die just yet, and now I've been injured.' Sarah though.
As Sarah thought, 'I'll have to have it my way, I've another chance to get reborn,' she thought.
"Lydia Smith, what do you know of her?" Sarah asked.
Sarah's question caused everyone to laugh loudly.
A man with a tattoo said, "Who doesn't know her, the stupid high school failure, the stupid student, the daughter of a mistress, want to hear more or is that enough," he replied while playing with his dagger as he sat in front of her. He thought that 'Lydia' will be scared but Sarah just smirked more.
'So that's how it is, she dies 3 times in a row, her husband, the male lead, shows up too late, it looks like we are going to waste some time,' Sarah thought.
'And that would be the last person I would want to save me, as he forced her to marry him despite the fact that he loves her so much, and I'm sorry even when he takes the lead role, I hate him to the core.'
Just thinking about him made Sarah feel disgusted.
"Hahahaha, you're really funny, want me to tell you of what I heard about you or are you ashamed," Sarah said.
Sarah's mouth started to fill with blood when the man got up from his seat and slapped her on the face.
Sarah saw him taking out his gun,
1…2...3...4…
'Lydia' was hit by four bullets.
In the seconds following the shots, she heard more shots, but none of them entered her body.
Please comment of how was this chapter, I would be very happy 😊☺.
