I don't want to be loved (Book II)

Chapter 216: You Haven't Changed At All

(♡)

-

Prison was just like Lalisa remembered. Dark, humid and cold. A place where you'd put the people the world's has thrown to the trash.

Lalisa trembled for a second while remembering her last time in this place but quickly got back on her feet. She wouldn't allow herself to be consumed by nightmares from her past anymore. After all, what she went through in this place, theoretically, never actually happened.

Roseanne was sitting in a corner of her dark room burrowed into a ball. Her face was buried between her knees. As soon as she heard noises from the outside, she quickly lifter her face and looked straight into Rihannan's direction. When she recognized her, flames burned in her eyes.

"You!" Roseanne immediately sprang towards her cell bars. She reached out her hands between the iron bars trying to reach her. "It was you, wasn't it? You did this to me, right? You are the one..."

The red hair that everyone once hailed for its immaculate beauty was now tangled up, and her once hypnotic face was now contorted and wrinkled like that of a demon.

Lalisa looked at the Roseanne in front of her. She thought that once she saw Roseanne she'd feel fear, like last time, or that at least she'd feel angry at her. However, contrary to her own expectations, she didn't feel anything towards her half-sister. She just thought it was quite ironic that their positions had switched so much between this life and the past.

"Look at me now... this is all your fault!"

"It isn't my fault, Roseanne. You've earned it yourself with everything you've done."

Hearing Lalisa's calm voice, Roseanne's bloodshot eyes opened wide, inflamed with fury.

"Shut up! If you hadn't thrown me out in the first place..."

"You might not remember, but I did let you in in the past."

"You let me in? What do you mean, 'you let me in'? The first day I went to that house you threw me out!"

"No. In the beginning I most definitely accepted you and let you in. Of course, I didn't really want to, but since you were my sister, I thought I should treat you with kindness."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Roseanne, six years ago you killed me in this prison after I drank the poison you gave me."

Roseanne's lips remained closed for a while. She looked at Lalisa, confused, then let out an incredulous laugh. "You've gone mad! You say you died after drinking the poison I gave you? Are you listening to yourself?"

"When I drank the poison you gave me and died, I woke up again as I was at twelve years old. I went back in time to the same day you came to my house."

"You've been saying these crazy stories like a madwoman for a while. Just tell me the truth. You came here to laugh at me! You came here to make fun of how low I've fallen!"

"Whether you believe me or not doesn't matter. I just wanted to say that, that you were given one chance to change your life." Lalisa's face turned somber. "Even in the past you've always been greedy of anything I had. You wanted to replace me as Queen and to keep my husband to yourself. When things didn't end up the way you wanted, you gave me poison. In this life, you definitely had the chance to change, to be better... but you wasted your one chance and now you are trapped in this cell, awaiting your own death."

"Does the King know you've gone crazy? Hahaha, the things I would do just to see his reaction once he finds out!"

Lalisa didn't answer back. She simply looked at the laughing Roseanne. Just when Roseanne was about to scream at Lalisa again, a human figure emerged from the darkest corner of the room. As soon as he walked under the light, Roseanne realized who he was and immediately calmed down.
