Lia woke up after being slapped hard by Eloise.She weakly looked around and realized her hands was tightly being tied around the tree and her mouth was being covered by a handkerchief.She gave up struggling.
Eloise laughed frantically while the two men was playing with the guns they're holding.
"Lia, do you know how funny you are right now? You're probably asking why right? I've been friendly to you lately so can't imagine me doing something like this to you.Fine, I'll tell you.", Eloise said and crossed her arms with a smile.
"I've been having an affair with Eiser."
Lia felt like a cold pale of water pour down to her body.She couldn't believe what she just heard.
'Eiser was having an affair?'
She felt her heart was being gripped in pain.A betrayal of her boyfriend and her sister.It was really hard to accept the news.She couldn't imagine it.
Eloise then laughed again seeing the expression of Lia.
"My parents knows about this.Even his friends.I don't know how you really met him and managed to be his girlfriend when you're a student in a low performing school and he's a student in the famous elite school in our country.I should thank you, you know?I successfully seduced him through you.He was famous for being a member of the circle of upper class in our generation that was formed at the school I'm in.", Eloise spoke in a dreamy voice.
She finally got him but her face went dark at the thought of Eiser badly wanted to marry Lia.
"I almost thought we'll be together.We even did something immoral together a lot.I finally got to meet his parents.Im sure he didn't take you to meet them.Everything went well when suddenly he broke up with me four days ago.He said he wanted to marry you.I thought it was a joke because we all are still young and who would want to marry a bastard like you.", she hatefully said.
She couldn't take it.She doesn't even know why Eiser suddenly wanted to marry Lia.His family and friends began to ignore her and supported Eiser's decision.She became a laughing stock at her school.She used to brag about being the girlfriend of Eiser Castelli.A son of a family from upper circle.Her family was just a middle class.It was difficult for the students from middle class family to have a contact with students from the upper class.The gap is too far.
Eloise tightened her teeth.
"He was really planning to marry you.I hate you.It must be because of your face.It really made me feel insecure.You are just an adopted bastard but why everyone couldn't help comparing us.I hate mom for taking you in.She only took you as a daughter to flaunt as she was a known ambassador for several established charities.Do you know why mother hates you?It was because of your face.She used to say your face could make all men bow down to you so she keeps beating you and that reason is to discipline you.But do you know what's funny?I learned my mom is just jealous so she physically abused you.It is due to the fact that you're so beautiful."
She find it hard to say the last word.
"But today you must die.You shouldn't have existed.You can do anything to her.Kill her afterwards.", Eloise ordered the two men.
The two men looked at each other and was delighted hearing the words of Eloise.It just means they could do anything to her body before killing her.
The men excitedly released her hands from being tied around the tree and began to molest her.She struggled but could only give up.The men around her was too strong.
Her eyes went lifeless.
She finally got all the answers.
It was funny how she let the man enter her life after courting her for three months.The man whom she chose to trust betrayed her by having an affair with her sister.The only person she trusted was Nanny Selene.She shouldn't have been too greedy for love.She doesn't deserve it.
She felt depressed.What's the point of living when everything is taking away her freedom.
She wanted to die but she couldn't.Not when she can always find herself returning back to the past with a glowing infinity and number of her deaths that suddenly appeared on her left wrist.
She watched herself being molested.
'All of my choices and desires in life, I keep it all in.I endured and keep enduring facing the hardships.I know I would always find myself returning to the past after death.Was is a curse or a blessing.I don't want to die again and again returning to the same loop.If I can endure, I can keep fighting.Affair right?I'll remember this.I swear I will get my revenge that you all deserve.'
At the same, a twenty three year old Filipino young adult man took an empty glass and pitcher with water at the kitchen counter.
His eyes were like pools of ink-black night.His thick eyebrows,high bridge of nose and sharp jawline features were sculpted with a cruel elegance.His face and figure is a masterpiece of unsettling perfection, a portrait painted in shadows and whispers
"Why are you still awake?", he heard a voice coming down from the stairs.
"I can't sleep.", he answered the man who came down while currently pouring water into his glass.
Looking at the man who came down.His face was a landscape of impossible beauty, sculpted by the hands of a divine artist.His smile was a sunrise, bursting forth with a radiant energy that could revitalize a dying star.He was a walking paradox, a celestial body defying gravity, a living testament to the boundless creativity of the universe.
This man was half British and Chinese.
"Is it because you are going to meet my sister?", he heard him teased.
Before he could answer him, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his chest.He accidentally dropped the glass of water.A sound of shatteres glass was created.
He watched his left wrist where he could see the glowing golden infinity written on it with a number '2' under it.
His heartbeat and breathing became rapid and his face became pale.He clutched his chest.
His figure became unsteady including his vision.He was feeling dizzy before his body fell down on the ground.
'Am I going to die again?'
He heard his friend calling his name in panic before his heart stopped beating.
Lia opened her eyes.It was also the same time for the man who just died from sudden cardiac arrest.
The man was sitting on an armchair in front of his office table while Lia was lying on the own bed.
Lia sat down and felt her wrist in pain as if there's something that's been carved.The man also felt the pain on his wrist.
The number '2' was now replaced with number '3'.
They've now entered a new time loop, the 3rd Time Loop.
