Episode 3

1017 Words
I was in deep thoughts when my so-called father arrived with my so-called stepmother. My dad seems relieved when he saw me while my stepmother look like she doesn’t care. “I was so scared when I received the news about your k********g. I thought I will not see you again.” Mr. Edward Young said as he hugs me. “I-I’m fine, thank you,” I said as I gently push him away. He seems taken aback by my actions but I can’t stop thinking that he is not my dad but Sofia’s. “I told you Edward, Sofia’s fine. You don’t have to worry about her anymore, plus, Rickard is taking good care of her.” My step-mother Monica Park-Young said. I feel somehow mad at her and I don’t know why. Like this body moves according to Sofia’s feelings before. This means I can’t trust her. “I’m sorry I’m late. How’s the patient?” A woman enters the door without knocking. I will not forget that voice, the voice that ruins my marriage. The voice that I continuously hear in my head in her pleasing sound while f*cking my husband is all I can think. “Mylene, that’s not how you talk to your sister.” My dad said. “Dad, we both know that you are much more worried about our business than your daughter’s life,” Mylene said. It turns out that my husband woman is my step-sister. What a small world. “Mylene stop! Do not disrespect me. Sofia is my daughter.” Dad said. “If you really love me as your daughter then why’d you force me into this marriage?” I don’t know where that voice came from but I said it out loud that they all stop and stare at me. I manage to look away. Her memories are slowly coming back like I’m watching a movie in my head. “Don't say that to your father. You are indebted to him. You’re living a comfortable life now because of the decision he made. You should be thankful and do everything to make Mr. Lee happy. Don't let him divorce you. It will affect our business.” Monica said. Is this the family Sofia’s had? I won't wonder why she just wanted to disappear rather than stay in her body. I couldn’t help but look at Mylene. What can I do to make her pay? "Why are you looking at me like that?" Mylene asked. "I heard that the accident involving my k********g killed your boyfriend's wife. Martin, right?" I asked. "You've been in this hospital for a long time, so maybe you don't know that I'm Martin Uy's new wife. We just got married two days ago." Mylene said. I almost wanted to get lost in what I heard. How heartless Martin is to get married immediately after a few days I died. He was just waiting for me to die. I still remember that he was with Mylene in the car that blocked me so I had an accident. He just left. After all, I did to him, all I gave him, this is what he will repay me for. How come I didn’t know about this. "It seems like you got married so fast? Less than a month since his wife died, you got married right away." "It's really like that when two people love each other. The past and the time don't matter, especially when the person preventing our love doesn’t exist anymore." Mylene said. “Sofia, how’d you know all that? And how’d you know Mylene’s husband.” Dad asked. “I just search on the internet to find out by accident, however, I came across this news that Sy Shipping International is now Uy shipping international. They are one of our businesses partners, right?” I asked. “Yes, they are, but you don’t like being involved in business, why are you wasting your time doing it now?” I, as Angela, was naturally born to be a businesswoman. I want to handle my dad’s company ever since I was little, but now look what happened? My husband stole it from me. “I’m learning about it since Rickard is my husband. I don’t want to embarrass him in front of his business partners when he invited me to join him in some parties.” I said. “That’s good to hear dear. All I heard from you before is music and arts. I didn’t know that you will have this kind of need to study business.” Father said. He is right. All I can see from Sofia’s memory are arts and music. She’s good at painting, singing and playing all kinds of musical instruments. “I will ask him to teach me more about business,” I said. “Can we go home now? I’m tired already. We can see that Sofia’s fine, now we can leave and rest.” Monica said. “You can leave now Dad. Maybe tomorrow I’ll be released here. I’ll tell Rickard to call you, okay?” “Okay dear, just make sure to follow the doctor’s instructions, okay?” “Yes Dad, go home now.” He kissed my forehead before they leave. I should use this body and identification to start my new life. I was fooled by Martin and now I will return the favor to him. I will use this life to ruin him and take back all the things they stole from me. I don’t want to be blindly in love with anyone from now on. Rickard will be the key to my success. I will try to convince him that I can help his company. I will try to persuade him too to take that company out of Martin's hand. But first I need to get out of here and visit my grave. Second, I need to study her life and make sure that the transition of my real attitude will not make everyone suspect about body swapping. The rest will follow if Rickard will trust me.
