The Villainess?
How did I get here? The last thing I remember was falling asleep after finishing the book: Trials Of Love. How did I become the villainess Camilla who has the same name as me? **************** Our female lead, Camilla used to be a very extrovert person who had many friends and was socially liked by everyone. However, after her parent's death, she was assigned to live with her Uncle and Aunt. Over time she slowly distances herself from her friends as she believes that she doesn't deserve happiness. She thought that she was the reason her parents died. Back then her parents died in a car accident when they were speeding toward the hospital where she was kept. On that very eventful morning, she had accidentally burnt her hand during food tech and was rushed straight towards the hospital. When her parents heard they too rushed over there hence they got into a car accident and eventually passed away. The only thing that would bring her happiness was that one book her parents left for her: Trials of love. It talked about a young boy named Damian who grew up in poverty but eventually became the grand duke of the Thedo empire. The Thedo empire was named after the first King founder of the empire. Damian grew to love his housekeeper's youngest daughter Eveline. The two had to go through many trials until they earned their happy ending... Of course with the occasional villainess ruining the happy pair. But who would've thought that our female lead ended up as the villainess? The character she hated the most. Camilla Rose Avery was the lost daughter of the present King and Queen. Camilla had been stolen when she was a year old by a maid. She was found by her older brother when he ran into her in an orphanage on one of his royal tours. Her love for Damian meant that she would try to kill Eveline. Because of her evil deed, she ended up being banished to the eastern empire when Damian became the grand duke. He married Eveline and then the story closed. Ella transmigrates into Camilla. However, there was still time to fix everything. She would be kind to Damian in the hope that he would remember her kindness in the future. Our female lead has decided to change her destiny so she tried very hard not to fall in love with Damian. However, the storyline seems to be changing. Why is the male lead running after the villainess this time? ********************************************************** Please vote for this book as I've entered a completion with it.

Chapter 22: You know how to cook?
"So, my lady you still haven't told me why you are here," he questioned looking back at me. "I was just picking some apples. And when did you arrive here?" I asked. He looked sheepishly at me and muttered "I was hungry and noticed that the door to the kitchen was open so I walked out and found myself here. And saw a young lady wearing a dress trying to climb a tree. Not the best outfit to wear when climbing a tree,". I blushed and used my hands to brush my hair. He looked at me and said, "Let me help you,". I watch him walk up to the tree and pluck the apples. He threw the apples down to me and we spent the next ten minutes playing catch. I caught most of the apples but missed some. It was a fun time. In the end, we plucked 30 apples more than we needed to. I gestured at Ryan for him to get off the tree. He gently jumped off the tree as if it was an easy thing.
He helped me place the apples wrapped in my cloche. We walked back to the kitchen and closed the back door behind us. I placed down the apples alongside the eggs and began rummaging for some pots and pans. Ryan placed the apples alongside where I put mine and asked what I was doing. "Looking for pans," I stated. "What for?" he questioned. I looked up and muttered, "To cook,". He pulled a face and asked, "You know how to cook?". I turned around faced him and retorted "I grew up in an orphanage, of course I know how to cook,". Technically, that's not true. I learnt how to cook after Aunt very happily insisted on teaching me. At that time I hated it. However, I guess I should thank her now.
"What are you making?" Ryan asked watching me was the frying pan. "An omelette," I replied. He pulled another face and questioned, "What's that?". Gosh were they that behind in times? They knew what mac and cheese was but not an omelette. "It's a dish of beaten eggs cooked in a frying pan and served plain or with a savoury or sweet topping or filling," I explained placing the pan on the hob. At this time there were no electric hobs so we had to light them ourselves. I had managed to find some firewood and some matches. I tried two but it wouldn't light so I made Ryan do it for me. After the pan got hotter I dropped some buttermilk into the pan and cracked two beaten eggs into the pan. The buttermilk would make the omelette tastier and have a nicer aroma. Ryan found a chair as he sat down and watched me. After a while, I flip the omelette onto the other side.
#At that moment Damian came in and looked quite surprised to see me cooking. He came in and sat next to Ryan whilst asking "You know how to cook?". I turned my head to look at him and replied "Yes. I learnt in the orphanage,". Why does everyone look so surprised that I know how to cook? After I finished cooking the omelettes Uncle Roberts arrived inside the kitchen. "Anna why're you cooking?" he asked. I looked at him and replied, "We were all hungry so I decided to cook something for them all,". He looked surprised and asked again How I knew how to cook. I looked at him and asked, "Why're all three of you so shocked that I know how to cook? Where I lived you had to cook for yourself if you wanted to eat,". Everyone around me looked sheepishly and with a tint of pity. What I said was somewhat true. I had to cook for myself back in my world. Ah
