“Burn those who burned mel”

Chapter 53

Perfect.

That day, I went back home. My mind was still wrapping around this whole rebirth thing and I finally felt fatigue. After grabbing a snack. I headed straigra to my room in the basement, just then, I was stopped by Jason and Sophie. I could feel the fury rising in my chest as all of my previous life’s meraries came nooding at once. Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes in order to control my temperament. Jason spoke first.

“What are you doing home so carly? I thought you’d be at the library.”

After I transferred to Bartrum, I would spend countless days in the library ready biology, chemistry, and pharmaceutical books. Mainly to help advance my research, but also to stay out of the way of them. My voice flat, I responded.

“I’ll be studying from home today. Excuse me.”

Jason was caught off guard by my indifference, in my past life, I wanted to desperately hold on to the boy that brought me that ring. As I walked by, for grabbed my wrist.

“What’s wrong with you? Don’t you have any manners? Your sister is standing right

here.”

I could tell by the smugness in his voice; he was trying to get a rise out of me. As I glanced my wrist out of his grasp and smiled politely at Sophie.

at

Sophie, I could see a look of triumph on her face. I snatched

“Apologies sister. Hopefully you’re having a wonderful day; and if you aren’t, I’m sure my fiancé will see to

it

that you do.”

Both Sophie and Jason had an instant look of shock on their faces, never had I been so curt with them. I swiftly walked away before either could say anything and locked the door to my tiny room in the basement.

After taking a nap, I woke up with determination, in five days I would have my acceptance letter from Lexington, I wanted to make sure I had as much research with me as possible. While taking some notes, I heard a loud bang on my door. After the necklace fiasco, my father moved me to the basement because Sophie needed sunlight, and her mother needed the extra room for her “projects“. I was forced to switch my room to the basement, never once did any of them come down here until now.

As soon as I opened my door, my father started yelling at me.

“What’s this I hear about you upsetting your sister!! I thought I told you to stop all of this foolishness!”

I had no clue what he was referring too but my guess was that she went crying about my remarks in the kitchen. In the past, I would have tried to defend myself, but now, I realized there was never any point, Putting on my best apologetic expression, I bowed my head and began to speak.

“Though I’m not sure what I’ve done, I apologize deeply Sophie. I promise it won’t happen again, whatever it

may be.”

My father, stepmother, and Sophie all looked at me with shock and puzzlement. They were so used to me constantly trying to defend myself, shamefully trying to get my father to take my side for once. Leaving no room for him to scowl me any further, my father simply scoffed.

“Whatever, just don’t let it happen again.”

With that, he turned around and stalked away with my stepmother directly behind him. Sophie lingered for a moment, her face was filled with anger and disdain, she’d clearly looked forward to my father humiliating me on her behalf.

Scoffing.

“Playing at being the obedient daughter? Well, it’s too late Clara, I already have daddy wrapped around my finger. He doesn’t even know you exist, neither does

Jason.”

Sophie smiled smugly, waiting for my expression to change. With complete indifference, I simply smiled and closed my door, leaving her fuming as she stomped up the stairs.
