Repeating Time For The Perfect Revenge

Chapter 2's

“Dad,” call me with a little whining.

The spoiled attitude I'm putting out right now in the hope that my father will grant me the wish I'm going to make.

“I don't want to get married.”

Prangs!!

The spoon and fork that my father was holding suddenly fell onto the floor. He looked at me with an expression of disbelief and a gaping mouth.

The lunch that previously took place solemnly suddenly came to a halt. I could feel the sharp stares of the people sitting across my chair.

“What?”

Timothee's mother raised her tone with a piercing look as if she wanted to kill me right now.

“This is really an insult to us.”

“No, Mistress. My daughter may just be tired. He must have mispronounced earlier,” My father said in a panic.

I stared in wonder at my father who seemed to be ignoring my wishes just now.

“Dad,” call me.

It was the first time I had seen the angry expression my father had directed at me. A threatening expression that kept me from begging her to cancel today's matchmaking plans.

“The age is still eighteen years old, so it is still unstable. The marriage will go on as planned. He just mispronounced,” repeated my father.

***

Plaque!

A loud slap floated down my cheek. Not only was my cheek red, the corner of my lips even hurt by the slap.

I stared at the figure I had always missed. The person I have believed in all my life has always loved me unconditionally. The figure that was currently looking at me with a red face was angry.

“You know what you just did?! You know who the Jordan family is?!”

The loud snapping sound from my father again made me realize that what I've been seeing all this time is not true. I've really been blinded all this time.

“The Jordan family is already planning to invest into Dad's company if your matchmaking is successful!”

I stared at the figure I was always proud of. The figure who is now selling me to the man who will kill me in the future.

“Although you are my flesh and blood though, you have no right to do so. The good food you enjoy every day, the fancy clothes, the living quarters and everything else, it's all the result of my sweat. You should know yourself a little to return the favor to me who raised you with great difficulty!”

In the depths of my heart, I really wish all this was just a dream. Just like the betrayal and death I experienced, but the pain was too real to be just a dream.

“You must be punished for what you did. Fortunately, the Jordan family still wants to be kind so that this matchmaking continues. But as punishment, you are forbidden to leave the room for one week. Snack money will also not be given for one week.”

After saying so, my father left my room by slamming the door. I could even hear a sound as he locked my room door from outside.

“I really hope all this is just a dream.”

“Alicia, are you awake?”

Lucy's mother's voice echoed back along the way to my bedroom like it was this morning.

“Alicia!”

He entered my room without knocking on the door and without excuse. He yelled at me who was still lying on the bed. Everything is exactly the same as what happened this morning.

“Why are you still lying down? Quickly prepare. You know today there was an important conversation with the Jordan family?” he said while crossing his arms in front of his chest.

I looked at him in wonder. Isn't that conversation over and I'm on my way to punishment right now?

“Quick shower and beautiful dressing. You were even too lucky to be matched with the second son of the Jordan family. Although not an heir, but he was still given abundant wealth by his family. If only Lucy could be as lucky as you. Really unfair.”

After saying that, he came out of my room. Everything was exactly the same as what he did this morning.

As soon as I saw the clock on the wall of my room, I realized that time had returned to the morning when the official meeting between my family and Jordan's family to talk about matchmaking had not yet begun.

“What does this mean?”

***

I went down the stairs in doubt and confusion. Something seems to be repeating itself in the morning, but I don't know what's causing it.

“You've come, baby?”

My father welcomed me who had just come down the stairs with a face of a grimace. I received his welcome with a confused expression. Again, everything is exactly what happened this morning.

The only thing that was different was that there was no longer any sense of haru and longing that I felt from that figure. All evaporated out of nowhere. There was only a deep sense of disappointment within my chest cavity at the moment.

“Ke here.” My father led me gently until I sat in the chair opposite Timothee, I can still see the dislike expression that the man showed.

We went back to lunch to talk about my matchmaking with Timothee. This time I will not argue by saying: “I do not want to get married,” or the like.

I realized that even if I refused the matchmaking right now, it would mean nothing. I will only get pain and disappointment while our matchmaking will continue.

“Timothee is really handsome isn't it?” seductive Father.

I didn't answer anything. I just ducked.

“She seems shy.”

The more my father spoke, the more pain I felt in my chest cavity. An indescribable sense of disappointment was in my mind at this moment. It's even more painful than when I was betrayed by Timothee, Lucy and her mother. It was even more painful compared to the moment of my death.

My vision started to blur from tears, but I wanted to hold it. I can't cry here. My father would definitely not forgive me if I just slightly tarnished his good name here.

So who else can I put on the back right now? Isn't destiny too cruel to me?

When I re-raised my face, I could see the disparaging smile that Timothee had thrown at me. I felt really insulted, but I couldn't do anything about it.

I began to doubt my intention to take revenge. Just to escape from the matchmaking that binds me alone I have difficulty especially for revenge.

So did I give up? No. gabe. I have absolutely no intention of giving up. I just have to find another way to break free from this fucking matchmaking. I had already made up my resolve from the start for revenge, I couldn't back down. Only death will I meet if I retreat from my original purpose.
