❃ Evangeline ❃ 

The spirit form of me shrieked in horror upon seeing my actions. 

“Wait just a second!” 

Those words reverberated through me, and something in me just forced me to stop stabbing myself to death. My hands trembled and my grip on the scissors loosened, making it clatter noisily on the dark marble floor. 

“I am not telling you what to do!” 

The spirit flew right in my face, her hands grabbing my shoulders and I could feel the hands clearly now. 

“Evangeline! I know what you’ve been through!” 

“No one does.” 

The spirit shook her head, her eyes showing sincerity in them.

“I do, because just similar to you, I have led a life of loneliness and I would continue to do so.” 

“...” 

Everyone only knew to take advantage of me in my previous life, because I was “The Saintess” who could never get angry. Everyday, I had to maintain the image of a holy goddess that wouldn’t be swayed. 

The spirit seemed to sense my sadness, and she reached her wisp-like hand forward, touching my forehead. 

“Here, recover my memories.” 

In an instant, memories of this Evangeline flooded my mind. 

She was an orphan. 

This world is ruled by vampires and metahumans. 

Her ability manifested when she was thirteen, and it was simply named “earn big bucks”. 

“...that's a ridiculous name for an ability.” 

“I...I know! Don’t say it!” 

I could hear the embarrassment in her voice. 

Whatever item or place she touched, as long as she possessed ownership over it, it would end up selling for money. 

She was a person destined to drown in money. 

However, one day, she was chased down by a money-crazed metahuman with a harmful ability. 

She was saved by a handsome, young man and her heart was captured by him in an instant. 

She made a plan to make the young man her boyfriend, and with the only limitless resource she had. 

Money! 

“So instead of a sugar daddy, it’s a mommy?” 

“I am only five years older than Aaron! What do you mean mommy! I am twenty-nine years old, like you!” 

“Aaron?” 

The spirit cleared her throat. 

However, that name struck a chord within me. Though, I had no time to dwell on it since I was still recovering the memories of Evangeline. 

...alas, Evangeline soon realised that she wasn’t the only one chasing after this man. She was just...one of the many, and one of those at the bottom. 

She had nothing else other than money. 

Family? 

Friends? 

Lover? 

She had none of those. 

Money, and chasing after the young handsome hero that will never even glance her way.
