Chapter 2

"Stay here, okay?"

"If you make us happy, I'll take you home."

"Yana, listen to your brother. That's the son of the court official. You just have to remove your clothes and let them do whatever they want to you. You will not suffer a loss." one of her brothers whispered to her.

Lies, all lies.

For a woman, her body was her most treasured belonging.

But her family wanted to use it for their own gain.

Disgusting.

"Drink this, Yana." Her brother gave her a glass of wine.

She drank it. They put something in the drink but who cares?

Her two brothers left and the men inside the room laughed crazily. Their eyes were burning with lust.

Her body felt hot and it became hotter when those hands started touching her.

She moaned and it made everyone more excited.

She did everything to regain her sanity. She bit her lips until they bled, used her nails to hurt her own hands. She hoped to lessen the effect of the drug they gave her.

And it worked. The heat she felt lessened, and she managed to escape.

Then she was embraced by darkness.

———————————————

In a luxurious and well-lit room, there is a large bed positioned in the center. A stunning chandelier hangs from the ceiling, casting a warm glow across the space. On the bed lies an exquisitely beautiful young woman, appearing to be around 16 years old. However, she appears to be unconscious, lying still on the soft sheets. Her serene features and peaceful expression create a sense of vulnerability in contrast to the opulence of her surroundings.

The young lady is surrounded by doctors. They are checking the condition of the young lady's body. The butler, on the other hand, is restless at the side, worried about the condition of his young miss.

"Todos los exámenes realizados mostraron resultados normales. Ya no tienes que preocuparte. Solo esperemos a que la Srta. Ada se despierte."

(Translation: All tests performed showed normal results. You no longer have to worry. Let's just wait for Miss Ada to wake up.)

The butler breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the doctor's words. For several days now, he has been sleepless due to worrying. The young lady was entrusted to him, and she lost consciousness for unknown reasons, so he will surely be in trouble once the Señor and Señora find out.

"Gracias, doctor." The butler said.

(Translation: Thank you, doctor.)

"De nada. Es nuestro trabajo cuidar a la joven señorita."

(Translation: You're welcome. It's our job to take care of the young lady.)

Yana woke up and dazedly stared at the ceiling. Until now, her brain couldn't process how she ended up in this world. Her head was also hurting, and she felt dizzy.

She vaguely heard people talking around her, but when she woke up, there was no one inside the room.

She couldn't help but be amazed by the size of the room. It was bright and not cold. It was completely different from her old room where she only had a blanket to protect herself from the cold.

When she got married to Troy and lived in the Prime Minister's house, the room was not this big either. Houses in her previous world were made of wood, making them very cold, especially at night.

Before, they had a heater in the room. It was like a round object made of hard metal, and inside were charcoal. It made the whole room warmer, especially in winter, but that was after she married Troy. When she was still in their family's house, her room was located on the innermost side near the servant's quarters. They never gave her a new blanket, so she used her old one for many years. Having a heater in the room was a luxury for her.

She gently touched the beddings, and her tears fell one after another.

It's real, everything here is real.

But how?

Why?

Her mind is filled with questions, but no one knows the answers.

She looked at her hands. They were free from calluses but pale.

These are not her hands. Her old hands were full of scars and wounds from work. Even though Troy gave her different creams, the marks of hardship on her palms still remained.

She stood up and realized even the floor wasn't cold. It had a thick fabric that seemed to be made of animal fur.

Carpet, this word suddenly came to her mind.

She walked slowly towards the bathroom.

Then she saw herself in the mirror. She furrowed her brow upon seeing her appearance. It still looked the same as before, just fairer, smoother skin, and younger. The hair was also darker. Her skin was very pale, sickly pale. But aside from minor changes, her appearance remained the same.

She looked really beautiful. She didn't realize this before because the people around her kept bullying her, calling her names, and beating her. Her face before also had scars, and her skin was rough.

She gently touched her face and smiled.

Pretty... her younger face looks really pretty.

She felt foolish for what she was doing, but she didn't care.

'Why is her skin so soft? Like a newborn baby. And her hair, it's dark and shiny.'

Many memories flooded her mind, causing her to almost stumble. These were memories of the previous owner of this body.

Then her tears fell continuously again. She cried without realizing it.

The previous owner of this body is called

Ada Elleinor Simionè Vanderbilt, a 16 year old girl with a traumatic experience causing her body to weaken.

From a young age, she frequently fell ill. At the age of 5, she was kidnapped and subjected to various forms of torture by her abductors. It took three months before she was finally found, and during that period, she endured unimaginable suffering. The once lively and joyful child became withdrawn and silent. She now gets angry easily, and the slightest noise can trigger hysterical reactions. Since that traumatic experience, she hasn't spoken a word.

Despite the efforts of numerous doctors from different countries, they couldn't persuade her to seek treatment. She chose to isolate herself in her room and avoid any contact, even with her family. At just 10 years old, she attempted suicide, but her older brother intervened and saved her. Fearing she might try again, her parents took drastic measures, installing CCTV cameras throughout the house and having security guards and doctors on standby. A year ago, she was sent to another country after attempting to poison her older brother due to her unstable mental state. Her family didn't blame her; instead, they blamed themselves for the situation. One of her doctors suggested that a change of environment might help her recovery, leading her parents to agree to send her abroad for continued treatment. It was believed that her current surroundings triggered memories of her traumatic past, and a fresh start might be beneficial for her well-being,

But her mental health couldn't take it anymore so she collapsed.

And died.

And that's how Yana entered this body with the same face as hers.

This body had a beautiful family. Her parents and older brothers loved her very much that they were willing to die for her.

Yana felt that it was funny. In her world, her family wanted her to die. Her brothers wanted to sell her.

This girl, Ada, almost had everything she could wish for but a tragedy happened and ruined her life.

Fate really liked to play with people. They both had different circumstances, but their ending was the same.

Death.

But she was luckier because she was given another chance.

And this time, in this life, she will treasure her life.

Life has always been unfair, so she doesn't really feel guilty about claiming this body.

She didn't ask for this; it was given to her.

But she'll make sure to live this life to the fullest, not only for herself but also for the original owner of this body.
