Chereads / Jewels: The Beginning / Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

I woke up this time, feeling nauseous. All of those dizziness makes me want to puke all the guts inside my stomach.

Sitting up, clutching my head because of the throbbing pain really irked me. Various scenes were now flipping inside my head, which I deemed as memories.

After a couple of seconds, it suddenly vanished. It might just be less than a minute, but it sure feels like an eternity. With these events, I can tell that she is not that well liked. Well, she is branded as an unwanted child afterall. I could even bet, the host's family did not even know that she is a girl, a pretty one at that.

All along, this child waited and waited until she died. Sucks to be her, but If I was her, I would not have wasted it. Instead of begging for their love, I would have love and prioritize myself first. After all, she have everything what it takes to be called "perfect" except for her trash family though. She can be anything she wanted to be, too bad, this child is a coward. Not even daring to step outside of this 'castle' since 10 years ago, just because it was the 'request' of her parents. 

It may be deemed as selfish, but trust me, I won't ever regret it. That's me. I am selfish, I always come first, my happiness, my wants, and my needs despite the reasons of the people. I survived all thanks to this, no one will ever help me, even someone does, they will always expect something in exchange.

"Make my life worthwhile" a voice came softly as a whisper to my ears. With how it sounded, I know that it was the girl. Judging by her voice, it seems that she doesn't care anymore, she just wants her life to live magically, even when a stranger will take the lead. Ironically though, she dreams to be a star.

It wasn't unexpected though, she always sings and dances when she's alone. She even knew how to play all the instruments she'd known, maybe because she was bored all the time, she rather spends it learning something new, hoping that one day her family would notice her.

Sometimes she would even paint, especially if it was her heart's desire. Only two pieces were hung to her secret chamber, and the others were all hung in every walls of her room.

Even though I don't know how to paint, l could say that she is a great painter even surpassing the most famous painters back in my world.

Well, now that it comes to this, it's not like I have a choice. There's already an opportunity right infront of me it would be rude for me not to take it.

'okay, I would fulfill your dreams while I do mine' I whispered back to her. It seemed that she was waiting for my answer, as the last word I said, I felt completely free unlike the last time it was like a chain that binded my soul in her body like it was restricting me.

'Thank you' with her last words she completely vanished. It looks like, fate wanted us to meet, with how desperate she was when she was dying, while I on the other hand was contemplating whether I'm really gonna go to hell. Not gonna lie, thanks to her, I could fulfill my unfulfilled wishes. I could start over again. That's why I was willing to make her dreams come true, and maybe it's because we were the same in the past? Or maybe because I pitied her? Or just cause I'm bored? No one knows, I just trust my guts. I just felt that I would have lots of lots of fun.

Butler Wilmer, a servant from the Faratho Family felt his heart was shattering to pieces. The Young Miss that he served was now in slumber for a year. Sometimes he wished he had the courage to take the Young Miss away from this household but he can't, as much as he wanted to, the Faratho Household have enormous power that even he could take the Young Miss away, not even a month they would be captured maybe even less than a week. He was even sure that there are spies here working for the duke in this mansion. Maybe before he can even take the Young Miss away, they would be captured making all his work for naught.

It was late at night, and it was his responsibility to ensure that all is in the right place before going to sleep. He was near the Young Miss room when he heard a sound. Worriedly he ran towards the door and due to worry he forgot the proper manner and just opened it directly.
