pattering! pattering! pattering! - sounds she makes as she run's under the rain trying to out run the people pursing her
"Run after her, get her ..... i need her body either dead or alive
She heard him say as she run for her life ...... She can't believe it
her finance!
She ran as she glanced back to see if they are almost getting to her.... "I can't let them catch me,... I cant go back to that dark room, that i was locked in"
Turning around, she saw her stepsister coming in front of her, a smile on her face, holding a knife in her hand.
"My Sweet Dear Sister ... Please just die"
she said as she stabbed her the knife twice
"AAAAAAAH!" Lisa screamed as she woke up, covered in sweat. Her breath came in ragged gasps, her heart pounding in her chest. "What am I doing here? I know I'm dead… I was stabbed—stabbed by my own sister," she muttered to herself, gripping the sheets.
"Have I been reborn?"
Before she could make sense of anything, a voice echoed from outside the door.
"Lisa, are you okay? I heard you scream from the sitting room."
Lisa froze. That voice—she knew it all too well. Her stepmother.
For years, this woman had pretended to care, wearing a mask of concern while secretly plotting to take everything my mother had left behind. Lisa had once been blind to her deception, thinking she was just strict, just distant—but no. The truth was far uglier. This woman never loved her. She only loved the wealth that Lisa stood to inherit.
Lisa's hands clenched into fists. She forced herself to respond, trying to keep her voice steady. "I… I just had a nightmare."
The door creaked open, and there she stood—her stepmother, draped in an elegant silk robe, her face twisted into a mask of fake sympathy. "Oh, dear. You must have had a terrible dream. You poor thing." Her voice dripped with false kindness, but Lisa knew better now.
She studied the woman carefully, trying to suppress the shiver crawling up her spine. This isn't just a dream. I've been reborn.
She was back — years before her death. Before her stepmother, sister and finance's betrayal. Before they took everything from her.
This time, she wouldn't be their fool.
This time, she would make them pay.
"I have to fake it till I make it Lisa thought "Aunty am good, just a nightmare am good"
Then, another voice came rushing from the door.
"Sis, are you alright?" Chun Ava asked as she entered my room. Behind her stood my childhood best friend and fiancé, Zhang Gary.
