Today is a tranquil day. I awaken early to a symphony of melodious songs drifting in from outside. As I draw back the curtains, I am greeted by a dawn that has painted the sky in golden-yellow hues. The air is infused with the sweet fragrance of celestial blooms that blanket the heavenly meadows.
Beside my house lies a serene lake, its crystalline waters shimmering like a thousand stars, reflecting the golden spires and radiant clouds that adorn the sky. A gentle breeze stirs the surface, creating delicate ripples across the calm water.
On my way to work, I see many angels like me soaring through the celestial heights, their wings weaving a vibrant variation of colors against the azure canvas. My friends call out cheerful greetings, and I respond in kind, sharing in the joy of the morning.
Countless gardens are scattered throughout Heaven, where flowers bloom in a kaleidoscope of colors, their petals glowing softly in the light. From above, they appear as a breathtaking mosaic.
As I return from work, the golden rays of sunset envelop Heaven in a warm embrace. I stand upon the clouds, gazing out at the vast expanse. The stars twinkle like celestial diamonds, casting a gentle glow upon the dwellings below.
Suddenly, everything begins to shatter. I gasp at the surreal scene unfolding before me. What is happening?!
An unbearable pain assaults my spirit. Aaarghhhh...
I hear a child crying loudly. Why does it feel as if the sound is right beside my ear?
Waahh… waahh… waahh…
Huh… What the hell!! It's me!!! 🤯
I'm the one crying this loudly!!! I was just returning from work, and then… wait, that's not possible!!
That was a dream!! And now I find myself as a newborn!!! The memories flood back with startling clarity...
What kind of cruel joke is this?!
I have no ability to talk, sit, or walk. I am utterly dependent on others!!! This body's father and his mistress are the ultimate villains; they tried to kill me yesterday. So who am I supposed to rely on now?!
That boy? I don't know anything about him. What's his name, I surmise? Suddenly, someone opens the curtain of my room.
I stop crying. Oh, it's that boy. He says in a childish voice, "Hey, are you hungry?"
Am I? I wonder. My stomach growls. Ahh, it seems so. He smirks. How mesmerizing!
Then he leaves the room. Huh, where is he going? I want him to stay. As I open my mouth, I start crying again. It seems this stupid mouth can only cry. How frustrating!
He returns quickly with a milk bottle. Oh, he went to bring my milk. Hehe, I giggle.
He patiently feeds me. After feeding me, he leaves the room again. I start to cry once more.
He returns shortly after, bringing some toys. Wow, they're so different from my toys in Heaven, but they're interesting.
The boy gives them to me, so I love them. I start to play with them. Then the boy tries to leave again, and I cry once more. So he has to stay with me the whole day.
For the next few days, that boy takes care of me earnestly. But I don't know anything about him—who he is, what his relationship is with this body… nothing at all.
One day, a deep male voice calls out, "Xavier? Xavier?" as he enters my room.
So, this boy's name is Xavier. I like it; it has a nice ring to it.
Xavier responds, "Yes, Father?" Ah, so he is his father.
"You should come with me to do the grocery shopping," his father says. "You accidentally doze off here yesterday, so you miss the chance to shop for the young miss this morning. I'm heading to the store now, but I have no idea what kind of milk she drinks or what size diapers she needs."
"How can I go, Father? The young miss always cries when I'm not around. I can write it down for you," Xavier replies.
"Okay, but you're really spoiling her," his father chuckles.
I scowl at Xavier's father, feeling a mix of annoyance and protectiveness.
He laughs again, but his tone turns melancholic. "Your mother was the only lady of this family, and she will always be remembered as such. Now, your responsibility falls to me. As the butler of this house, I don't have much time to look after you, so I sent my son. It seems you have taken quite a liking to him. Haha… he really is quite likable. Well, I won't disturb you young ones any longer. I wish you both happiness and success in life, young miss."
With that, he leaves, and aside from him and Xavier, no one else enters my room.
About a week later, my father and his mistress come to see me. They've had time to think things over during the week. Since they believe I've supernatural abilities, they think that it won't be easy to get rid of me.
Moreover, they never considered that the child of their butler had taken care of me so earnestly for an entire week. If not for Xavier and his father, I could have been dead a week ago.
Currently, Xavier is feeding me milk nonchalantly, and I eagerly drink all of it. Then he carefully wipes my mouth with a handkerchief as I smile sweetly at him.
Seeing the interaction between Xavier and me, my father and his mistress hastily decide that he will be my personal butler in the future and hand over all of my responsibilities to him. He silently accepts.
They also want to give me a name, but Xavier tells them that he has already decided on my name: "Samantha."
He calls me by this name. They are taken aback, but since they have already dumped all of my responsibilities onto him, they have nothing to say.
I started talking at 4 months of age and walking at 6 months. Xavier is amazed but never frightened by me. My father and his mistress avoid me like the plague. Only Xavier and his father are kind to me. I grew up healthy thanks to them.
"Xavier, I want to play chess. I'm definitely going to defeat you today." I demand.
"No, Samantha. You have to study now. Today, I'm teaching you calculus." Xavier says in a serious tone.
"I just need one day to learn it. Please play with me. I really want to defeat you!" I say cutely.
"Forget your tricks. Those work on Dad, not me. You must study NOW." His tone is irritated.
I always pester Xavier to play with me. He adores me but isn't indulgent. Any unreasonable demand from me earns me a good scolding, and sometimes even the cold shoulder.
When I'm 3 years old, I already look like a 5 or 6 years old child. My physical fitness is awesome. At this time, I demand something for the first time from my worthless father: to send me to school soon.
My father is somewhat afraid of me. He and his mistress firmly believe I have some supernatural power. So, in front of me, they are as docile as pets. Hearing my demand, my father suggests to send me to a very prestigious school.
But I want to go to Xavier's school. His school time is the most pathetic time for me. I feel lonely without him, so I always want him to accompany me. He is the only light in this dark life of Samantha. I want to stay with him all the time.
For this reason, I want to go to school this early. I resolutely tell my father that I want to attend the same school as Xavier. My father wants to persuade me, but I give him a nasty look. He flinches and hurriedly nods.
When Xavier hears this news from me, he flatly tells me that he won't approve of my decision. I'm the eldest young miss of this household, and my education should be top-notch.
Now I have a stepsister, and in this household, nobody really loves me. If I grew up to be a weak lady, I won't be able to retain my status in this family. My background must be as solid as an iron wall.
I pout, telling him that his school can't be that bad, but he adamantly opposes my decision. What can I do? How frustrating!
Xavier informs my father about the change in my decision. My father sighs in relief. What father can tolerate his child being close to a mere worker? Although he never thinks of me as his child, to others, I'm the eldest young miss of this house, and they have to maintain their status.
But I never pay any heed to this regard. Xavier is my only companion here. Of course, I want to be with him.
Besides, I'm here in this world because of my spirit fragment. I can feel my spirit slowly beginning to heal itself. My original spirit and fragmented spirit are gradually starting to fuse.
I think that probably 20 to 25 years from now, this spirit fragment of mine will completely merge with my original spirit. Then I'll leave this body and search for my other spirit fragments.
The original soul of this body lies dormant in its consciousness. After my departure, she can live in this body happily. Well, she'll lose my abilities, but I'll leave her the memories of all these years so she can adapt to this life properly. Of course, I want to secure a good future for her, and I will do so…..
