Rebirth of the Hated Character

With every move of her hands and every batting of her lashes, Selene was able to captivate the world with her delicate beauty. She was the "Queen of Showbiz," the beloved of the Castillo family, unlike Keira, the ugly duckling of the family. It didn't matter the context or truth behind the issue, Keira was to be blamed by everyone. "Selene can do no wrong! How can such a delicate, fragile thing think ill of someone? It must be Keira who is making up lies!" "How dare you cause your sister to become sick! Receive your punishment!" Such words were a norm for Keira. The place she called home was Hell's Gate, and the people she called family were poisonous demons. Her life was filled with blame and abuse hurled by her sister's supporters. She was schemed against, attacked, and ruined to the point of no return. The last nine months of her life were the worst. Her insomnia had developed into Sporadic Fatal Insomnia, causing her to lose weight as she suffered consistent sleepless nights. At the age of 23, Keira Castillo passed away alone in her dingy apartment. Her final moments were filled with dread as she begged and prayed to whichever god was listening. "If only I had one more chance..." To her delight, she had regressed to when she was 18. 'The man you love? I'm taking him. The title 'Queen of Showbiz'? That's also mine. Everything you gained from stepping all over me, I will take. My dear Selene, I will play you in the palms of my hands and live my life the way I was supposed to.'

Something in the Drink

The car ride to lunch was filled with silence. Concern gazes constantly lingered on Keira, watching how the girl was doing after such an event.

"The after-party begins at 5 pm. Do you want to eat dinner before we head back?" Rita was scrolling through social media concerning the event.

"If June cooks it for me." Although her expressions were dull, she secretly enjoyed the evident worry in their actions.

"What are you craving, Miss?" June sat in the front seat alongside Gina who was the driver. "How about stir-fried eggs and tomatoes?"

"I'd love that."

Perfect as a light dinner.

"The press got a good shot of you and Selene. It's currently the most talked about topic."

"Is it?"

Rita didn't know how to interpret Keira's indifference to the potential scandal. She believed that people would likely side with Keira, but Selene's influence wasn't little either. The situation could boomerang and hurt her instead.
