The knife she was trying to grasp with difficulty just fell to the floor after Maya herself fell heavily. The girl's breathing was slightly erratic, as her head throbbed severe and unfamiliar memories began to appear in her mind.
At first the memories seemed hazy and blurry as if they were being covered up by something. But as time went on, the voice grew louder and clearer until Maya felt herself looking at the current snippet of the film. A poor girl is crying in front of a grave in her first memory, before the scene changes when a man takes her to a big house filled with many servants who welcome the man's arrival.
The scene changed again when the girl who thought that she would live comfortably from then on, actually got a living hell in the big house. Even though she was the daughter of the owner of the mansion, the girl continued to be treated worse than a maid. Her own father no longer wanted to care for her. Meanwhile, her mother and stepsister are always looking for a way to torture her everyday.
Maya thought to herself that this unfortunate life was not much different from the fairy tales she had read in her past life. The oppressed protagonist, as well as the presence of his stepmother and stepsisters who always suppress her. Maya did not know whether she should be sad or angry when she saw the cowardice that this girl had shown throughout her life. If it was her, Maya would never let anyone suppress her like that.
Unfortunately, the girl's ending was not as sweet as the fairy tales that Maya had read before. The girl never got a prince who helped her out of that living hell. Or the miracle that turned her to a brilliant girl who managed to succeed and take revenge on those who hurt her in the past. The girl ends her story with a suicide attempt, which is thwarted after a servant catches her reckless act.
And that girl's name is Finola. It was the same name the girl's stepmother had called Maya when she had pointed a knife at a stranger earlier.
Maya brush off anyone who tried to help her as the girl trudged to find a mirror or anything that could reflect her current face. Her eyes were a little blurry while her thoughts were muddled, when she finally managed to find a mirror in the small bathroom that was connected to the room where she first woke up.
The girl reflected in the mirror looked pale and weak, with slightly long black hair, and a bang that covered her eyebrows. Underneath the bangs are a pair of light blue eyes that look radiant and carry features of tenderness. That kind of face really was the number one quality in the world she came from back then. With her black hair and fair skin, the girl who was in the reflection could probably be described as a real snow white in her previous life.
When Maya tried to verify the girl was indeed her by raising her hand to reveal her bangs. The young girl in the mirror did the same thing Maya was doing. Maya finally took a deep breath. It seemed that she had indeed been reborn in someone else's body this time. Her eyes intricately stared at the beautiful reflection she had. There was no mistake, she was indeed completely different from her original body.
The pretty face that looked innocent was completely different from the firm and dull face that Maya usually had. Her body had also indeed actually shrunk a lot at this time. Maya has changed from a strong woman to a beautiful girl who looks weak like a glass doll. The woman felt even more confused as she subconsciously knew whose face she was taking at this moment.
Ah no. Maya had realized who she had become at this point.
"Nola? What happened to you? You... God... Has that wound on your head already messed up your mind?"
Maya immediately glared at the woman who had just followed her into the bathroom until the woman finally froze and hurriedly covered her mouth. Without needing to be told, Maya already knew who the woman was by now. Sarah, she is Finola's stepmother and one of those people who always tries to find opportunities to torture the girl. If it was not a special situation, Maya was sure Sarah would not even bother showing her fake concern for Finola like this. Maya guessed that the woman was faking it only because of the two foreign men who came in with her at this time. Or rather, Sarah just wanted to look like a good mother in front of her future son-in-law right now.
Walking out, Maya could see the man sitting in the wheelchair being examined by the man who had entered with the group earlier. Their faces were not good when Maya finally came out of the bathroom. Their attitude of course acceptable for Maya. After all, who would not be angry if their own wife-to-be tried to kill him on their first meeting?
Ezkiel Evan Orlando, the man who sits in a wheelchair is Finola's future husband as well as the reason why the girl wanted to commit suicide before this. Evan was a great billionaire before a big accident took everything he had before. The accident killed his entire family, except for Evan who miraculously survived despite having to depend on a wheelchair for the rest of his life. His family's abundant wealth began to be taken away one by one from the man since they took Evan's illness in the name of taking over some of the man's wealth. His life has faded, until now the man prefers to live only with his best friend in a big house away from the crowd.
Not long ago, Finola seems to have been forced to be engaged to the man in order for Finola to seize all of Evan's remaining possessions when the man dies later. Initially, the one who was about to get engaged was her half-sister, Grace. But the girl rejected the offer flatly because the rumors that circulating around people said that not only was he paralyzed, the man also did not hesitate to act harshly on people who had annoyed him. Evan is also known as a boring person who is very secretive. For Grace who has always lived with the attention of people directed at her all the time, marrying Evan will only make her miserable in the future.
The only option left was to match the innocent Finola to the grumpy man. But the bad rumors circulating around the people seemed to have affected the girl's mind as well. Finola in the end prefers to try to end his life, after his father continues to force Finola to be engaged to Evan for the 'good' of their family.
Maya subconsciously sneered inwardly. Stupid, she said softly to the old Finola. The girl instead chose to end her own life just because of some baseless rumor. Meanwhile, Maya had to fight for her own life with every breath she took in her previous life.
Living in that world makes Maya realize how valuable life really is. She had died for someone after five years of trying to survive in her previous life. This time, Maya will not easily waste her life just because she is forced to marry a sickly man who sits in a wheelchair.
Especially if you look at his face, Evan is in the handsome man group who can attract women easily just by looking at him. Under his black hair were eyebrows that were sharp like swords, a pair of jet-black eyes, and a high nose and seductive thin lips. Even though the man could only sit at the moment, Maya estimated that the man's height should not be less than 190 cm. Handsome and stylish... Overall, Evan was almost perfect. If only he did not have to sit in a wheelchair all the time and be rumored to be dead in a few years.
Maya took a deep breath, as she approached to greet Evan and the other men who reflexively put their bodies up to protect the man as Maya slowly walked closer.
That was a misunderstanding. Although at this time Maya still did not know if she had just returned to the past with a new body or she had transmigrated, but at least Maya knew that being hostile to Evan would only get her into more trouble in the future. They will become husband and wife whether they like it or not. For Maya, it would be better if they could be friends from the beginning again from now on.
A world with zombies is a bad world for humans. Chaos has given humans the opportunity to show their vices without any fear. Maya had no one to rely in the past. If this time she could make Evan at least her friend, Maya thought maybe her future life would not end up being so lonely as before.
She had lived alone for too long before the zombies took finally took her life. Not to mention, Maya also always had a soft spot for people like Evan. Money alone is not enough to save the man if zombies really attack them one day. Maya in the past had witnessed many men like Evan die because their body was powerless to against zombie attacks. Evan had also reminded her of her younger brother. Reminded her of the mass slaughter of disabled people like Evan today.
If she just turned back time, Maya would make sure she could find her family and keep them safe along with Evan who would be her way to find them.
"Sorry, I did not think clearly before. Are you okay?"
Both Evan and his friends looked a little surprised when the dangerous girl who had almost killed someone earlier suddenly became obedient and docile girl at this time. The girl politely lowered her body. Before because her head was still dizzy, Maya tried to lean against the wall as her hand massaged her own nose with a frustrated expression.
"My head hurts and I just had a really bad dream just now. I... I could not recognize anyone who entered before. Please forgive me. I hope I did not offend any of you with my previous actions."
Yes, a bad dreams that felt so real until I could feel a sharp pain piercing all part of my body when I died. Maya added only in her heart. The girl did not even realize that Evan was staring at her all this time. The man snorted, as Evan turned his wheelchair over after he was satisfied seeing Maya's condition with his own eyes.
"I will come back later."
Only that. The man only said that briefly before leaving again with another man who accompanied him all this time. Because of Maya's previous impolite act, the man who was with Evan was also reluctant to say goodbye to Maya when the man just turned to follow Evan without saying anything else. Maya let out a long breath after seeing that cold reaction. Well, for Maya, at least Evan would come to see her again in the future.
It just meant that Evan himself had no desire to call off their engagement anytime soon. Maya can be a little relieved now. Because for the girl, living with Evan is still much better than living cooped up with Finola real family right now.
Once healed, Maya was determined that she must first confirm the truth of this new world. Maya had to be absolutely certain, whether she was just reborn in a different body or moved to a completely new world at this time. There are so many things Maya has to do in the future. And the girl was sure she would not be able to do it all if she continued to live with Finola trash family.
Maya was really looking forward to her engagement right now. Because it was only then, that she could finally roam a little more freely than she was in his current situation.
The knife she was trying to grasp with difficulty just fell to the floor after Maya herself fell heavily. The girl's breathing was slightly erratic, as her head throbbed severe and unfamiliar memories began to appear in her mind.
