I am a Second Female Lead
Chapter 3: 2. Louise Van Hill

"Knock, knock"

Sheri snaps from her thoughts, and she tries to copy the way the owner of the body speaks.

"Come in," Sheri looked at the maid who came in. She wears a blue uniform and her head is down. She never once looked at her when she went inside. Sheri was observing her the moment she came inside. While looking at the maid Sheri notice to see the woman trembling. The maid tried to hide it but Sheri can see her hands were a bit shaking.

On the part of the maid. The maid is so frightened was nervous. She hated it when they assigned her to her but since it's a double pay she accepted it without any hesitation.

She walked in the corner and never once lifted her head. Sheri can see that she knows where she's going even if she doesn't lookup.

"Ma'am, Sir has said he will arrive at 4 pm to pick you up," The maid agitated said and waits anxiously for her reply.

Sheri was observing her and still digesting all the information she received. She knows this is the 30th maid they assigned to her. Every month Louise kick her own maid out of the mansion. One mistake and they are gone.

The whole mansion knows the uncontrollable temper of their madam. She will lash out, out of nothing. If she's bored, she will dismiss anyone who she sees. She is being feared that every single maid shudders at her presence making her husband pays double for the people who work there.

Sheri remains quiet and tries to remember what is the even of the day.

After a few minutes of no response from Sheri, the maid starts to panic. She was unconsciously firmly holding her hand.

On the contrary, Sheri is striving desperately to calm her complex emotions she felt everything was a whirlwind. She desperately felt needing a space to sort out everything that has transpired to her. She needs space to breathe to adjust but alas, her mission has to be executed.

Heck, she can still feel the chains, the terrible fear, the overwhelming guilt, the pent-up anger toward herself, and now she has to feel the emotions of the body she's in.

Sheri looked at the maid waiting anxiously.

"Ahem, Alright, notify me if Mr. Bacht arrived," Sheri said.

The frightened maid was instantly relieved and excuses herself. After the door is closed.

Sheri let go of her uncomfortable emotions. Tears immediately swell up in her eyes unconsciously. Tear after a tear was falling until she let go of her emotions. Her terrible pile-up emotions burst like an active volcano that she couldn't hold anymore and just pour it out. she was holding her heart. The pain that was piled up the torture that she had to undergo was still fresh in her mind. One thing that keeps on flashing in her mind over and over is the conditions of her family.

Since a miracle happened even with or without scientific explanation that she can go back to her world she doesn't care. All she cares about is it is true. The truth is in her surroundings and the mechanical voice that speaks toward her. She never questions nor asked if the world she's in is a real one or not. She didn't care. All she wanted is to go back.

"Mommy, Daddy, Sven, Ric, Lois, Sheva, Hanny, Jany, I'm sorry I let you all go through with so much agonizing pain. I will be back and make certain you will never experience any hardship. Mommy, I should have just listened to you. I should have not provoked those men." Sheri guilty, softly said.

She was thinking after she is done with her first mission and returns to her own world. She solemnly vows to never fall in love with that man again. Her grave sin was merely to fall deeply in love. The love she has for him makes her obstinate fool, naive, idiot and most of all committed a grave sin by accidentally killing an innocent child.

She regretted it all. She will do everything in her power to be far away from them. The overwhelming guilt and tragic sorrow she feels terribly have caved in her. All she could do is cry her bleeding heart out. After an hour of crying, she forcibly decided to calm down and start carrying out the mission by preparing to meet the family of this body and his family.

She went awry toward the bathroom and watches warily at the big mirror to check herself. She was surprised to see her self. She has the same face. The sole difference is her mole in her lower side lip. A smal dot that increases her charm. She possesses coal-black long hair, almond brown eyes. A cute nose and a pouty lip. She is a tall woman not skinny and not fat just a good normal body. Only right now she looked terrible with her puffy face and red swollen eyes, everyone can tell she cried. She looked at her watch. She has 4 hours to prepare before she will meet her so-called husband.

She carefully put her face in the bucket of cold water to slowly remove the redness and puffiness of her eyes and face. She is forcing, trying her best not to cry and think of this mission. Thinking she can alter her fate in her old world.

The mission she has feels like a mantra to her. Instantly giving her short-lived peace. It motivates her to finish and change the life of this second female lead and eventually change hers too.

After 2 hours of placing her face in a bucket of cold water. The redness of her eyes went down together with the swelling, and she begins her preparation took a bath. Drying herself, smear a lotion toward her body and dried her hair. After finishing up she went to her wardrobe and looked for appropriate clothes. She strides inside and saw many seductive dresses. It's either the cut is very low or it shows so much cleavage or the slit of the dress looks like she will be in a gala or too short that exposes her long white legs.

In her old life. She also dresses the same as this owner's body to capture the attention of Eric. She even undergoes surgery to make her butt and her boobs big. She becomes a walking Kardashians. Luckily the body, that she owns has a good asset. Her butt is not too big and not too small, her breasts are 34D a good size and her ample stomach is flat. Right now she has to properly meet the elders and has to decently dress up.

She carefully scanned her elaborate wardrobe and fortunately found a black high waist pant and a white top the cut is low. It purportedly shows her cleavage, but she put underneath a sleeveless shirt. She properly matches it with black high heels pumps. Good thing the owner of the body has a good taste when it comes to modern fashion.

She stood there looking at the clothes and thinking about her mission. One thing in her mind was how lucky that the owner of the body has someone who cares for her. According to the story her husband neve did anything wrong. He always respected her even the time she kicked him out during their honeymoon. He was patiently waiting for her to turn around. Even during the moment, she gave birth to their first child. He even works at home just to be closed by. sadly Louise did not appreciate all those small efforts.

One thing that is bothering Sheri is why in does Louise did what she did. In her memory, she couldn't replace any reason why Louise didn't like Henry. One thing for sure Louise is not attracted to Henry. That is according to the memory of the body.

Sheri sigh. While thinking. She looked in a mirror to see herself.

"I was killed because I loved the wrong man and Louise you died miserably because you didn't know how to appreciate what you have. I was once like you even if you are just a character in some book or even in a real person. I hope you can rest in peace I will make sure your wish will do come true." Sheri speaks at the woman who is standing in front of the mirror.
