Chapter 70

The gun was placed in her hands as she looked at the woman whose fate she stole from.

She's the protagonist in this story, the main character that is supposed to be doused with power and attention.

It's her fate.

At first, she was just like any normal girl who dreams of a happy ending with her prince charming.

She's the princess in everyone's eyes but when she left her home, she was ridiculed and trampled.

Her once vibrant life lost its light.

But she fought back, for the person she loves, she fought back and she lost.

Turns out, she was just a stepping stone, after dying, she realizes that her life was nothing. She's just another character added to make the story more dramatic and entertaining.

So when she woke up and lived her life once more, she manages to rob the heroine's fate and put it in her.

Of course, it wasn't that easy, she had to go through what she (Caia) had experienced as well. Because of that, her mind becomes more numb and vicious and she grew greedy for power.

Only with power would one can reach the pinnacle in one's life.

It took her a thousand times before she can turn the tables around and when she did, she made her suffer what she encountered.

Yes, everything that has happened was her own doing. The script deviated, she was supposed to be cultivating her love with her prince changing but he had to change.

So she had no choice but she cannot modify the script anymore, she can only control their lives and tweak some things.

She should've been enjoying the attention showered to her, should've spent the lavish things that the man of her dream will give to her but no.

She just couldn't stop her wishful thinking that she can be free. That she'll be able to get rid of her fate, no.

Today, she must kill her for everything to start anew again, then let her know that she'll never escape her fate.

Ever.

...

It only took me a second before I reacted and fight with her for the gun.

My knees were bruised and I was trembling slightly but I managed to get ahold of her.

Though I was taken down by the burly men from the other side who rushed and take hold of me.

I was slapped once more by her, eyes glaring at me with a crazed look, she takes the gun that was thrown into the ground.

"You should've stayed obediently and I would have killed you in a second. Tsk, tsk, you need to be punished" she says as she cleaned the gun with a white handkerchief.

Then she happens to glance behind her and that's when she grew aghast. A'liu is still in her control and in her hands lay A'liu's life.

"No! No, please no! I-I won't do it a-again, please no!" I screamed and thrashed with all my might but their arms were like metal rods.

Since she can't control me, then she'll blackmail A'liu's life for my obedience.

"I promise you, I won't... I won't think of leaving anymore, I won't so please, spare her"

She tilted her head, as if she was thinking of my words then smiled.

"Okay"

I breathed out as if the suffocation in my heart left but then I saw the malice in her eyes and turn my head back.

A'liu stood up and went to her side, her eyes were devoid of life as if she was being controlled as she moves like a puppet.

Then she took the gun from Shaoyan.

"I'll spare her, I didn't say I'll skimp on you, and oh, if you try to fight back, I'll let her kill herself in front of you. So, choose wisely"
