Repeating Time For The Perfect Revenge
Chapter 36's
Lucy and her mother were released. I stared pushyly at the screen of my phone displaying the news of the release of the two and the innocent decision issued over both.
I know that Lucy and her mother can't get themselves out of this. Moreover, my father was a pretty influential person.
“So, this is your decision?” muttered.
My father may be rich, but it's nothing compared to what the Jordan family has. Closing a case like this is not difficult for them.
Drrt... Drrt...
Cellphone's ringing. Alexander's name was on there. The man called me.
I ignored his phone call. My mood was too bad to just talk to her. I can't forget the fact that he is also part of the Jordan family.
“My life is really sad,” I muttered as I stared at the floor of my room.
Drrt... Drrt...
Alexander called me back even though I didn't pick up the phone call from now on. After the phone call died without me picking up, the man sent me a short message.
‘From Alexander:
My parents agreed to cancel your engagement to Timothee. Our engagement talks will be held in a few days.’
I just read the message sent by the man without replying.
‘From Alexander:
My parents didn't like Lucy that much, but somehow they helped Lucy and her mother break free from the law by trying to poison you.’
I laughed so blandly knowing that my guess turned out to be true. I didn't expect the Jordanians to stand up for me, but I didn't think they'd be on Lucy's side compared to me.
Drrt... Drrt...
A phone call came into my phone. It's from an unknown number. I didn't lift it at all. My bad mood makes me reluctant to talk to anyone right now.
Drrt... Drrt...
A short message came in moments after the phone call turned off on its own.
‘From Unknown Number:
We need to talk. I don't want our engagement to be cancelled. What does it mean that Alexander will replace me engaged to you?’
Without asking I already knew who called and sent me that short message.
Drrt... Drrt...
Phone calls from the same number are back in. My mood is getting worse.
“Truly disgusting. Even at a time like this, you still don't know where you're wrong? Even you don't apologize at all.”
I refused that phone call. I turned off my phone so no one would bother me today.
I lay my body on the bed, then rest.
“It's really been a tiring day. I don't even do a lot of physical activity or exercise, but all my energy seems to be drained out to nothing.”
I slowly closed my eyes. I hope that after I fall asleep and wake up, it's all just a dream. I was never betrayed or died from being shot and never repeated time at all.
Too tired to continue all this. It felt like the further I went, the more pain I felt.
I never forgot my revenge. But still, I always felt pain when stepping in when demanding payment for what they had done to me.
“What is the correct step?” mumamku doubtful.

I set my feet in the corridor of my faculty building. Again and again, I'm back in the limelight on campus right now.
The people around me kept whispering about me and everything that was going on around me right now.
“But isn't that outrageous? Although he hated it, but accusing others of trying to kill it was absolutely outrageous.”
“Entahlah. But isn't there an article that says that there was evidence found at that time?”
“Really?”
I try to ignore all the gazes that are on me right now.
“Nothing. Even the article about the arrest of Lucy and her mother is no more.”
“What could this have to do with the photo of Lucy sleeping with the second son of the Jordan family?”
The conversation had no end at all even though I had already entered the classroom. Funny thing is, none of them dared to ask me directly. They prefer to whisper behind my back and talk about me rather than have to ask me directly.
“Truly coward.”
I didn't shrink my voice at all. I don't even care if anyone is offended by my words. After all, none of them really cared about me.
“Wahhh... What did he just say?”
A loud voice sounded. They were no longer cautious and played down their voices.
“Alicia!”
The sound of baritone from the front of the class makes the sound that was once noisy become silent. I know very well who the figure who just called my name is, but I don't want to pay attention to it.
“Alicia!” call again.
I sat down and put my head on the table. I was too lazy to respond to the people around me right now.
“I know you heard!”
Alexander came and stood right next to me. He held my hand without permission at all, pulled it and made me who had been sitting stand up.
The noise was heard again. The students who saw what the man had just done, could not bear to let out their voices and chatted about the current atmosphere.
Not accepting being used as chatter material, Alexander turned to look at them one by one. The silence felt again.
“You come with me!”
The man pulled my hand, took me out of the classroom. We are already a spectacle material at the moment. No. gabe. I've been a spectacle material ever since I put my feet on campus today.
Alexander's treatment of me today will certainly make the gossip that is spreading about me on campus even hotter. Somehow if people find out that my engagement to Timothee has been annulled and Alexander will be engaged to me in place of Timothee.
I can only smile and mourn my fate. I doubt whether the steps I took were right or not. There was a feeling of fear in my mind about all this. I was afraid and worried that this man would betray me like his sister did, maybe even worse.

“I want to make an agreement before we get married later, even before we get engaged,” I said.
“Why?” alexander asked astonished.
“I need black proof above white.”
The man squinted his eyes at me. He didn't seem to accept what I just proposed.
“Do my feelings not feel enough for you at all?” tanyakanya.
“Timothee also once stressed about her feelings for me, but she instead slept with Lucy,” I said.
I looked straight at the man. I crossed my hands in front of my chest.
“I might choose you as the best choice I have right now. But seeing what your family just did, I need something that can protect me in the future.”
