Episode 3

...****************...

(From now on we call Dena = Araya)

One day has passed since Dena aka Araya woke up in this body. Initially, Araya thought that after going through a dreamlike state as happened before she was here, she would return to her world upon waking up. But alas, it was not as expected.

This morning, Araya went out of her room for the first time, after enjoying the breakfast that Bi Laksmi brought.

Araya's room is on the second floor, which is known as her territory. Meanwhile, her son, the antagonist Ghariel, is on the first floor, and her husband is on the third floor. The luxurious mansion she occupies has three floors, with the top fourth floor being the rooftop.

And the rooftop is Araya's destination right now. She took the elevator to reach the top floor.

Upon arriving there, Araya could see that this large place was kept clean. It seems suitable to be used as a family gathering place for wealthy people.

Her footsteps led Araya to the edge of the rooftop, which was bounded by an iron fence as high as her chest.

Her hands clenched tightly, "Actually, I don't want to try this," she muttered.

Yes, Araya is determined to commit suicide. Foolish indeed, but she doesn't want to die at the hands of her husband, in whatever cruel way. Araya wants to try her luck, if she dies now, who knows if she will return to her original body, right?

Slowly her hand held the iron barrier, one of her feet gradually rising.

As her other foot was about to rise, Araya felt someone's hand pull her waist back.

"Akh..." She almost lost her balance if there weren't a pair of hands holding her body.

"Stupid!"

After the grip on her waist was released, Araya turned to see the person who had just cursed her.

Damn. Really damn, the figure of her angel of death is standing in front of her now.

A man with a height of around 185cm, with broad shoulders and a proportional body, gives a strong impression without looking excessive. His face is sharp with firm jaw lines, his nose is straight, and his deep eyes radiate an unpredictable look.

Araya seemed to see Ghariel's description in the novel directly.

"Aren't you tired of always attempting suicide, huh?"

Araya ignored the flat question. Wait, did she mishear? Always?

Does that mean the real Araya also often attempts suicide? But she didn't find that memory at all.

"Go back to your room." Gevan said after a while Araya just stared straight at him.

Araya averted her gaze, then silently left the rooftop area. Without turning to look at Gevan who kept watching her until she disappeared from his view.

***

"So scary, crazy." Araya buried her face in the pillow.

Remembering her meeting with Gevan earlier, Araya could feel this body's reaction which immediately froze seeing her own husband. Hey, that man is a cruel mafia, who wouldn't be afraid.

Is it clear, Araya is also afraid of her husband? From her memory, because Araya hated Gevan so much, the woman always shouted to drive Gevan away every time he entered her sight.

Knock knock knock...

"Madam, it's me, Bi Laksmi."

The voice from behind the door made Araya change her position to sitting on the edge of her bed.

"Come in."

The door opened, revealing Bi Laksmi with a tray of medicine in her hand.

"It's time for Madam to change the bandages, does Madam want to take a bath first?"

Araya shook her head, "No, just do it directly." After all, she's basically already beautiful, no need to take a bath.

Bi Laksmi gently opened the bandage surrounding Araya's head, then continued to clean the wound.

"Ssh..." Araya hissed when the alcohol came into contact with her wound.

"I'm sorry Madam, I will be more careful." Bi Laksmi replied, looking a little panicked?

After that, a new bandage was put on, Bi Laksmi had been taught by Doctor Sarah how to change the bandages yesterday. Fortunately, Araya's wound was not too big, it's just that it still bleeds a little.

"It's finished, Madam."

Araya touched her new bandage, "Thank you, aunt."

Bi Laksi was stunned for a moment. It's rare for her arrogant Madam to say thank you, she thought.

But she still smiled awkwardly in response.

Araya bit her lower lip, there are many things she wants to ask. And it seems that asking Bi Laksmi who has served her for seven years here is a good choice.

"Bi Laksmi, have I ever tried to commit suicide before?" Araya asked directly.

Her maid looked startled by Araya's sudden question.

"Just answer, Bi. Or maybe, what do you think during my stay in this house?" Araya asked again, "Actually, I'm a little forgetful about some things." She lied.

Bi Laksmi put the medicines she brought on the tray, "Before that, I'm sorry if I'm being presumptuous Madam."

Araya nodded in response, "Actually, the wound Madam got now is not because of a fall, but Madam who really intended to commit suicide." Bi Laksmi revealed carefully.

"What?" Araya reflexively said because she was surprised.

She clearly remembered in Araya's memory that she slipped, not because she intended to commit suicide.

Bi Laksmi, who thought her master was angry, immediately bowed in fear, "Sorry Madam, but that is my presumption and the workers in this mansion. But I'm sure, Sir also agrees." She explained.

Araya could see that her maid was a little hesitant to bring up the word 'Sir' because Araya was very sensitive about her husband.

Araya sighed, "Besides that, has it ever happened before?"

Bi Laksmi nodded slowly, "Madam once threw herself into the back swimming pool. That's why Sir has now installed CCTV in the pool area."

Araya nodded in understanding. She tried to dig up memories about that, and it was a bit vague. Because it happened a few years ago.

Actually, it's no wonder why the people in this mansion thought she would commit suicide. Araya married Gevan forcibly.

The more severe fact is, the man raped Araya until she was pregnant with their child, so that Araya would marry him.

The man even killed Araya's father because he didn't approve of their marriage.

You can imagine how Araya's mentality is, right? Araya even had to be accompanied by a psychologist for a year to restore her sanity.

Maybe it's not perfect, in fact every time she meets Gevan she always screams like crazy, throwing whatever things she sees.

Even torturing her own child, Araya's mentality is that disturbed.

She became very sympathetic to Ghariel, such a small child facing this gloomy big house, his mother and father are not sane.

But she is curious, what is Gevan's reason for marrying Araya? Is he that obsessed? Because if they loved each other, it's impossible for Araya to reject him so much.

Araya's memories do fill her mind, but it will be perfect when distracted by meeting people who are related to her.

Alright, because Araya is basically afraid to die. She will accept the flow of this novel, by avoiding her death. And start solving the mysterious problems of Araya's life.

And give a little happiness to the handsome antagonist who is still young.

Araya looked at Bi Laksmi, "Where is my son?"
