Chapter 34: It's okay to be a little bit selfish
"Heather…"
"Really, I am fine so don't worry."
"But you looked pale."
"Did I say you can worry about me?"
I frustratingly replied to him. I didn't expect it.
All night long as I was staring at the jadeite necklace, I realized that I unknowingly changed something inside this novel. Even if it is my world now, I think that I don't have every right to change something.
I was also thinking about what happened in the school earlier because Jean said that to me instead of Rosine. It was very scary.
His eyes looked at me with such affection.
'No, Jean! Don't look at me like that!'
My hands trembled as I recalled how he said that.
With such tenderness in his voice, in dripping-honey tone,

Chapter 35: I'm hurt too!His sweat was running down his forehead as he ran to my direction. Wasn't he eating with Rosine? What has gone wrong?"Heather Jade Aczen, will you keep on running away everytime you felt like it?!"I just stared at him not saying anything. The way he shouted my name is letting me know that he is angry for some reason. I was scared at how he look at me. I am really a coward.'Am I stupid?'I asked myself as I stared at him. Actually, there was no reason for me to let Rosine eat with Jean. It was just my petty ass thinking that they should eat together.That second floor is only reserved for Jean and I and some important people in the university. I didn't know why I did that in the first place.'Am I getting too ahead of myself?'At this point, I
Chapter 36: A breakfast with the VillainThe next day when I woke up and looked at my reflection on the mirror, my eyes were swollen. It was like I put a large amount of prosthetics on it."Ugh, why did I cry?"『Because you're a cry-baby.』"Who are you calling cry-baby? Isn't this your body, mind and heart?"『But you're the one using it now.』"You're really annoying! Why did you pull me in this body if you will always insult me?"『I told you already, because your soul is stronger than mine.』"Then why didn't you pull in another soul instead of me?"I grumbled as I pressed ice cubes to my swollen eyes, which I got from calling a maid.That maid was confused as to why I would need an ice early in the morning and insisted to see me if I am hurt anywhere. Of course, I di
Chapter 37: What a 'good morning'!The weekend passed quietly just like that.As our visitor, my cousin Varhen and the second male lead Greyson, we accommodated them, giving them single room each and serving them as a guest.When they finally went to their respective rooms, I also went back to my room and seldom went out for fear that I might accidentally bumped into Greyson. I am doing my role now that my cousin and the second male lead finally appeared.They were one of the key characters in the novel and I don't wish to change even that.I can compromise on changing people's behaviours but not taking the spotlight away from them. I think that I had stolen enough. If I were a real thief, the police would search me and chase for me until the ends of the earth.During the time I was busy hiding away from Greyson, I se
Chapter 38: When you're stressed, eat chocolate "What are you doing early in the morning?" "Why, of course I am greeting my two friends good morning ah!" Rosine confidently said. Her eyes were twinkling as she looked dreamily at Jean. Saying that we are friends without changing expression, I felt like vomiting. Is she hearing that what she's saying now is utterly ridiculous? As I've said before, no kid who grew up from a wealthy people like me and Jean would casually befriend her. If that what she thinks is happening right now, it is called an impossible dream. After what she did to Heather in her last life, would I casually approach the one who killed her and make the most stupid thing to do – to befriend that same person who caused her death? I am still a sane person. I secretly rolled my eyes at her. She's trying so hard
Chapter 39: When you were restrictedFortunately, the pain subsided after an hour of hurting me. I don't even have the energy to go to the second floor to eat lunch. I feel like I was drained of all my energy today.'No, I need to study.'Tomorrow will be the start of General Examination Week so I need to prepare well. Though I know what will be the result, it doesn't hurt to learn a thing or two."Let's go and eat lunch.""I'm eating here today. You can go."Jean leaned towards me in an alarming quick speed. I leaned back when his face was so close towards me. He then smirked at me as if he's enjoying it.'Please refrain from doing things like this! I can't take it!'His brown hair falls down perfectly on his flawless face. I can't see any trace of pimple ever vis
Chapter 40: The AwakeningHer blonde hair was sprawled messily as she was lying down her bed peacefully, with her eyes tightly closed together. Her hands were on her stomach, weakly clasping each other. At times, her eyebrows would sometimes furrow and sweat will trickle down her forehead.She was sleeping peacefully but her skin was ghastly pale. Her family was swarming around her, wondering what happened to their beloved Heather. Even Jean was standing among them, waiting for the doctor to finish looking at Heather's state.After checking her pulse, the doctor shook his head and he had a terrified expression on his face. He tilted his head towards the Madam and Master with an unfathomable expression on his face.It's like he found something terrible. He quickly withdrew his hand checking Heather's pulse. His eyes were quivering in fear as he looked towards the people waiting
Chapter 41: I'm afraid The next day was the start of the General Examination Week. When I woke up, I was already in my room with an IV drip on my left arm. 'Hah, why did I faint when I used little power?' 『That's because you don't listen to me.』 〔Stop with the nagging. My head hurts.〕 『Ah right, I have both good news and bad news. What do you want to hear first?』 〔They're the same. Tell me both.〕 『Then I will start with good news. You now have complete control over your power, congratulations.』 〔What about the bad news?〕 『Well, the whole family including Jean knows about it.』 〔What?!〕 My eyes widened when I heard that. 'They knew?' But how? I'm sure they aren't the type of people that can feel my powers. They aren't that high level with their
Chapter 42: Like you and I? Having power means status. Once a person awakened his powers, he will be able to climb the social ladder. However, there are things that will be considered as you awakened your own powers. One is how powerful your power is. Will your powers be able to defend yourself from a monster, or how many people can you take down using your power. There are cases that a power wielder can have more than one power but that is very rare. According to the books I've read, people who have more than one power can be a presidential bodyguard. It is the highest position a common person can dream of. As for people like us, wealthy families, to have more than one power is simply making our status higher than any other wealthy families. We will gain respect even from those families who regarded us as their enemies. As power is what makes this countr
