Chapter 2 Reborn

Eileen sensed her body floating through the air. Splash! The next thing she knew, ice-cold watersplashed against her face. Eileen mustered all her strength and forced her eyes open. Shivers randown her body as she gazed up to replace Eric staring at her. He turned off the shower when he saw thatEileen was awake. With a disdainful look, as if he were viewing a despicable prostitute, he exclaimed,“I can’t believe you’d drug me, Eileen! How shameless can you be?” Eileen glanced about and realizedthat she was in the bathroom inside Eric’s bedroom. Huh? Didn’t I just die? Why am I here? Did I getreborn or something? The place was in disarray, with toothbrushes and shampoo bottles scattered onthe floor. Eric, in a dark-colored suit, had wet hair and a wet chest. Judging by the look of anger in hiseyes, it became obvious that things were pretty heated a moment ago. After taking a moment to recallwhat was going on, Eileen remembered that this incident took place on Eric’s birthday eight years ago.Nursing a long-standing crush on him, she changed into a sexy, black lace nightgown and decided topresent herself to him as a gift. To ensure the success of her plan, she had spiked Eric’s wine with anaphrodisiac. However, Eric somehow saw through her scheme and forced that wine down Eileen’sthroat instead. After that, he dragged her into the bedroom. It didn’t take long for the aphrodisiac’seffects to kick in. As Eileen’s body got hotter, she tore her nightgown off and threw herself at Eric.Eventually, Eric dragged her into the bathroom and hosed her down with the shower. That was what ledto the current situation they were in. Eileen realized she had been reborn to the time when she waseighteen. Kneeling in front of Eileen, Eric fixed her with a cold gaze. Devoid of any affection, he uttered,“This is the final time I’m making it clear, Eileen! I’ll never have feelings for you, so stop wasting yourtime on me! I’m your brother, and that won’t change. You’re on your own.” With that statement, Ericturned away and left. Struggling to rise from the bathroom floor, Eileen swayed unsteadily. When sheglanced at the mirror, she observed her slender arms and youthful face. Her cheeks were still flushedfrom the effects of the aphrodisiac, and her nightgown lay in tatters, rendering her appearance nothingshort of absurd. Eric is right. He is indeed my brother… She was fifteen when she first met Eric. Herfather, Will Swan, had brought Eric home and said to her, “He’ll be your brother from now on.” Despite

his young age, Eric exuded a surprisingly mature aura. However, he had a cold personality and alwayskept his distance from her. Despite his efforts to avoid her, Eileen found herself falling in love with himfrom the moment they first met. Eric, on the other hand, persistently avoided her advances andconstantly reminded her that they were siblings. Even so, Eileen was so madly in love with him that sherefused to give up no matter what. The more Eric tried to distance himself, the more determined shebecame to get closer to him. Eileen’s possessiveness reached a point where seeing Eric with otherwomen drove her to the brink of madness. On one occasion, she went all out, dressing up and bakinghim a cake. However, upon arriving at his office, she witnessed an attractive woman smiling warmly athim. Consumed by jealousy, Eileen impulsively smashed the cake onto the woman’s head, creating achaotic scene. The woman, covered in cream, produced a contract from her bag. To Eileen’sembarrassment, it turned out the woman was a representative from a company there for a businessdiscussion with Eric. Furious at Eileen for disrupting the business deal, Eric stormed off and wentmissing for a few days. In order to look for him, Eileen skipped classes and waited outside his officedaily. Whether out of exhaustion from her relentless pursuit or for other reasons, Eric eventually agreedto date her. Not long after, she was able to force Eric into marrying her as well. However, Eileen’s one-sided love ultimately resulted in her losing everything. Returning to her bedroom, she took a shower,changed into a clean nightgown, and patiently waited for the effects of the aphrodisiac to wear offbefore lying down on her bed. The room, adorned with a pink color theme and girly décor, emanated afeminine atmosphere. This is my bedroom before I got married… Eileen’s heart sank as she lay on herbed, the familiar surroundings enveloping her. She had been reborn and sent back to a moment in timebefore the tragedy took place. While it wasn’t all the way before things went downhill, it wasn’t too latefor her to do something about it either. A mix of indescribable joy and profound pain coursed throughher as she crossed her trembling arms. At that moment, Eileen vowed to not make the same mistakesagain. This time, I shall live for myself instead!
