I Hate You, Devil!

Chapter 2 Why?



Chapter 2 Why?

"Miss Luo! Please move!" Someone's voice reached Luo Xiaolei's consciousness and she slowly opened her eyes.

She saw people in white panicking as one of them suddenly pulled her away from her seat beside the white bed. Luo Xiaolei's eyes widened, she was sure this wasn't heaven. This smell, the people before her and this bland plain white room was no doubt the place where her mother had died 10 years ago.

When Luo Xiaolei's eyes fell on the person on the bed, she saw her mother lying there while the doctors seemed to be trying to revive her. Was this a dream? I am just dreaming, right? Didn't I just fall from the veranda moment ago? What happened? Why am I seeing this again?

As Luo Xiaolei watched the commotion before her in confusion and in disbelief, a long beep rang loudly in her ears, indicating that her mother was dead.

Everything didn't feel like it was a dream.

She saw the doctors shake their heads as they all fell silent and after some time a doctor finally approached her.

"Miss Luo, we are very sorry." He said before he left and Luo Xiaolei was left out in a daze as she watched the nurses covering her mother with white sheet. Her knees weakened and she fell on the floor. She knew this scene, this was what happened exactly 12 years ago. The only thing that was different was that she didn't plead and beg for everyone to revive her mother again.

Her tears fell like a waterfall. She felt her heart going numb but her knees, which hit the floor were also hurting. This meant she wasn't dreaming. Then what was going on here? If this wasn't a dream, did this mean she had woken up in the past? Did that even make sense?

While Luo Xiaolei was still processing this and was still unable to believe what was currently going on, a nurse bent before her and embraced her quietly. Luo Xiaolei's heart was already numb from what happened before she fell over the veranda and now she was witnessing this nightmare again for the second time around? If she really did jump back in time, why did she have to witness this moment again? Why?

Luo Xiaolei was unable to weep. Her tears just fell and she couldn't speak. Like a broken doll, she just sat there looking at the dead woman on the bed. She felt like she couldn't breathe. The confusion and all this heartache were killing her. She clenched her shirt hard as if she wanted to rip them off, until her vision became blurry and then everything turned dark, once more.

Days later, Luo Xiaolei woke up in her room in a daze. She couldn't believe that she really had somehow been transported back to the past.

She looked at her devastated 18 year old self and she couldn't help but smile bitterly. She was back in this place again. In her previous life, after her mother's burial, it was her grandparents who took her back to the old Luo residence and from then on, she swore to herself to rise up higher than anyone else and avenge her mother. She threw away her dream and aimed to reclaim the crown her mother fought for for many years. Luo Xiaolei grew up in the countryside for 8 years since Mo Lifeng kicked them out of the Luo mansion so at this time in her previous life, what Luo Xiaolei did first was to learn the socialite etiquette.

Back then, she strived passed her limit. To ease her pain, she buried herself in studying until she ended up exceeding everybody's expectations. She did everything to please her grandparents until eventually, her grandparents became so proud of her that she easily gained their favour. She was a model lady, the perfect granddaughter anyone could ever ask for. She grew up as the prim, proper, intelligent and perfect eldest miss of the Luo family. She started her revenge until she snatched the position of Luo Corporation's CEO from the hand of her own father, before she destroyed Mo Lifeng without mercy.

In her previous life, Luo Xiaolei was a flawless and invincible queen, until she fell at the hands of another avenger.

Thinking about all that had happened in her previous life, Luo Xiaolei looked blankly at the mirror, reflecting her 18 year old self. She reached out her hand and touched her own reflection.

"Luo Xiaolei, you've been given a second chance… what do you want to do with your life this time? Are you going to spend another lifetime taking revenge all over again? Or, are you going to choose another path and walk towards the dream you threw in exchange for your revenge back then?"
