Reincarnated as an extra Villainess

6. The Arrival of the Heroine

When I woke up, inisip ko lahat ng nangyari sa akin, and I've realized one thing...

Because of the sudden turn of events. I believe that I will no longer have the peaceful life that I wanted. Nakakapanghinayang man, pero wala na akong magagawa.

The proposal, the threats, and that warning from Lady Lavienx. Everything is in chaos. One wrong move and I'll gain enemy or worse, lose my life.

My only option right now is to stay alive. I should play my cards well.

Days passed...

The day that I anticipated finally came, dumating na nga si Elysse sa mansyon.

The author had described her as a goddess because of her ethereal beauty, at tama ito. She has chestnut long wavy hair, her face is so small and she have this sweet smile on her face. She looks too kind and innocent. Bigla tuloy ako nag-aalala. With that personality, I really should take care of her.

How can the old Therese bully this cute and beautiful being?

Ngayon ay naiwan kaming dalawa ni Elysse, my parents wanted me to accompany Elysse, at para na rin siguro maging malapit kami.

I was busy admiring her that I didn't notice she's keeping her distance from me.

Right. Kakadating lang niya at hindi pa niya alam na nagbago na ako, maybe she thought I was still the old Therese.

Noong mabasa ko ang novel, it was said that Elysse knew that Therese has a bad personality. Kaya natural lang na maging ilag siya sa'kin.

"Elysse," pagtawag ko. Napatingin ito pero agad ding umiwas nang makita ang mata ko.

"I know it's hard to believe, but I am not the old Therese. If I ever did bad things to you before, I apologize."

Muli itong tumingin at umiling.
"No! You never did!"

Napangiti ako, "I'm glad to hear that."

"Actually, I already heard that after your accident, you changed. And... you really did," halos pabulong na sabi nito. Wow. She's too sweet and kind.

"I guess it is because I was given a new life," sabi ko. Ngumiti ako ulit sa kanya pero nakatitig lang ito sa akin. "Are you uncomfortable because of me?" malungkot na tanong ko.

Muli ay umiling ito ng ilang ulit.
"No! I am just fascinated how beautiful you are when you smile." Namula ako. How can she say that when she's too beautiful herself? It was such a big honor to be praised by the heroine.

"You used to always snicker and frown at...me." dugtong nito pero agad na nanlaki ang mata nito na parang may narealize bigla. Mabilis itong yumuko. "Pardon my insolent behavior Lady Therese!" bakas ang takot sa boses nito.

Damn. I do really had a bad reputation. Paano ko ba mapapalitan ito? Even Elysse is very afraid of me.

"It's okay Elysse! Don't be afraid of me." Iniangat ko ang ulo niya at pinakita na hindi ako galit at nakangiti.

Alanganin pa itong tumingin. Nang makita nito ang mukha ko ay unti-unting humupa ang takot nito at napalitan ng nahihiyang expresyon.

"I'm really sorry for what I said," aniya.

"It is fine. You were just telling me your thoughts, there is nothing wrong with it Elysse."

We became silent. Ang awkward. I'm not really used with interacting with people dahil nga outcast ako sa family tapos puro pa fake friends ang nakakasalamuha ko dati sa past life ko. Ugh! What to do?
