Eloise happily hummed while driving a white car compared to Lia that was feeling tense and nervous while looking at the road.
Finally, they arrived at the wide crossed road.Lia nervously take a look at the truck that was parked and then looked at the time from the car.
It was 2 hours earlier this time.
"Sister, Eiser changed the planned of meeting us at the convenience store and asked us to go at the venue.", she heard Eloise said and drove the car to the left side of the road.
Lia keep looking back at the truck nervously that was now far away.
"Why do you keep looking at the back sister?", she heard Eloise asked.
Lia didn't answer.She was too occupied with her business.Her eyes went wide when she saw the truck started to follow them far away.
"Eloise.Drive faster.",she nervously said while looking at the rear mirror.
The truck is really after their life.Is it really just a killer who's trying to quench his thirst to kill by killing random people?Can't she really escape her death?
"What?Why?", Eloised asked with a frown.
Lia looked at her with pleading eyes with an anxious face.The street lights that illuminated the inside of the car compliments her lustrous pearl skin even in the dark part of the road.
Even though she didn't took a great care of her health and skin due to the neglect of her adoptive parents, her angelic face was so beautiful that could create a downfall to the known beautiful celebrities in their country.It was a beauty of a Western and Chinese being combined.
Looking at the picture of the two, one couldn't help but to compare them.The gap is just too huge.
If men would saw Lia who was now teary eyed and anxious, all of them could not endure every seconds of her sadness and would do everything to make her feel happy.It was not only men but also elderly, children and women.Women would likely bow down at Lia's feet to serve her except for women who are facing insecurities.Her natural beauty can attract people with dark hearts.
Eloise couldn't help but to get irritated as she drove her car faster.Lia's expression drove her crazy compared to the dull expression of Lia.It's been a decade since she had last saw Lia's face filled with emotion.
She clutched the steering wheel harder and changed the car's direction.The gnawing jealousy that had festered her since childhood now pulsed with a terrifying certainty.
Few minutes later, she stopped at the road with no infrastructure but only trees at the roadside.It was a remote place.
"Sister, where's this place?", Lia nervously asked.
"Don't call me that!!Get out!!", Eloise angrily yelled Lia as she also got out.
Lia was slightly taken aback and nervously looked at the rear mirror of the car.She saw the truck that have followed them also stopped and two men got out of the truck.
Eloise opened the door of passenger.Lia was unwilling to get out and begged Eloise.
"Sister, let's go back.Please!We are going to die!I don't know how to drive.Those people are coming out!", Lia pleaded and clutched Eloise clothes.
It woud be okay if she alone was going to die but Eloise is different.She can't just watch Eloise die because of her.No matter how much she planned to escape, in the end, it was her fate to die tonight.Those men are after her life.
'I shouldn't have come out of our house.Maybe Eloise wouldn't die with me.I can't just watch her die.', she thought to herself.
Eloise immediately removed Lia's hands and looked at Lia in disgust.
"What nonsense are you talking about! It's you who's going to die not me!!Take her away!!Take her to the forest!"
Lia was stunned seeing Eloise angrily commanded the two men.She felt that all of her beliefs collapsed.She couldn't believe it.Their purpose is not killing random passerby but her sister ,Eloise, was the one who wants to take her life away.
She looked at her sister in disbelief.
She watched herself being forcefully taken away by the men.Both of her hands was tightly gripped at her back.She tried to struggle but Eloise in front of her already covered her nose with a handkerchief.
Her vision slowly went dizzy as she looked at her sister.
'Just why?'
Her vision finally went black.
Lia woke up after being slapped hard by Eloise.She weakly looked around and realized her hands was tightly being tied around the tree and her mouth was being covered by a handkerchief.She gave up struggling.
Eloise laughed frantically while the two men was playing with the guns they're holding.
"Lia, do you know how funny you are right now? You're probably asking why right? I've been friendly to you lately so can't imagine me doing something like this to you.Fine, I'll tell you.", Eloise said and crossed her arms with a smile.
"I've been having an affair with Eiser."
Lia felt like a cold pale of water pour down to her body.She couldn't believe what she just heard.
'Eiser was having an affair?'
She felt her heart was being gripped in pain.A betrayal of her boyfriend and her sister.It was really hard to accept the news.She couldn't imagine it.
Eloise then laughed again seeing the expression of Lia.
"My parents knows about this.Even his friends.I don't know how you really met him and managed to be his girlfriend when you're a student in a low performing school and he's a student in the famous elite school in our country.I should thank you, you know?I successfully seduced him through you.He was famous for being a member of the circle of upper class in our generation that was formed at the school I'm in.", Eloise spoke in a dreamy voice.
She finally got him but her face went dark at the thought of Eiser badly wanted to marry Lia.
"I almost thought we'll be together.We even did something immoral together a lot.I finally got to meet his parents.Im sure he didn't take you to meet them.Everything went well when suddenly he broke up with me four days ago.He said he wanted to marry you.I thought it was a joke because we all are still young and who would want to marry a bastard like you.", she hatefully said.
She couldn't take it.She doesn't even know why Eiser suddenly wanted to marry Lia.His family and friends began to ignore her and supported Eiser's decision.She became a laughing stock at her school.She used to brag about being the girlfriend of Eiser Castelli.A son of a family from upper circle.Her family was just a middle class.It was difficult for the students from middle class family to have a contact with students from the upper class.The gap is too far.
Eloise tightened her teeth.
"He was really planning to marry you.I hate you.It must be because of your face.It really made me feel insecure.You are just an adopted bastard but why everyone couldn't help comparing us.I hate mom for taking you in.She only took you as a daughter to flaunt as she was a known ambassador for several established charities.Do you know why mother hates you?It was because of your face.She used to say your face could make all men bow down to you so she keeps beating you and that reason is to discipline you.But do you know what's funny?I learned my mom is just jealous so she physically abused you.It is due to the fact that you're so beautiful."
She find it hard to say the last word.
"But today you must die.You shouldn't have existed.You can do anything to her.Kill her afterwards.", Eloise ordered the two men.
The two men looked at each other and was delighted hearing the words of Eloise.It just means they could do anything to her body before killing her.
The men excitedly released her hands from being tied around the tree and began to molest her.She struggled but could only give up.The men around her was too strong.
Her eyes went lifeless.
She finally got all the answers.
It was funny how she let the man enter her life after courting her for three months.The man whom she chose to trust betrayed her by having an affair with her sister.The only person she trusted was Nanny Selene.She shouldn't have been too greedy for love.She doesn't deserve it.
She felt depressed.What's the point of living when everything is taking away her freedom.
She wanted to die but she couldn't.Not when she can always find herself returning back to the past with a glowing infinity and number of her deaths that suddenly appeared on her left wrist.
She watched herself being molested.
'All of my choices and desires in life, I keep it all in.I endured and keep enduring facing the hardships.I know I would always find myself returning to the past after death.Was is a curse or a blessing.I don't want to die again and again returning to the same loop.If I can endure, I can keep fighting.Affair right?I'll remember this.I swear I will get my revenge that you all deserve.'
At the same, a twenty three year old Filipino young adult man took an empty glass and pitcher with water at the kitchen counter.
His eyes were like pools of ink-black night.His thick eyebrows,high bridge of nose and sharp jawline features were sculpted with a cruel elegance.His face and figure is a masterpiece of unsettling perfection, a portrait painted in shadows and whispers
"Why are you still awake?", he heard a voice coming down from the stairs.
"I can't sleep.", he answered the man who came down while currently pouring water into his glass.
Looking at the man who came down.His face was a landscape of impossible beauty, sculpted by the hands of a divine artist.His smile was a sunrise, bursting forth with a radiant energy that could revitalize a dying star.He was a walking paradox, a celestial body defying gravity, a living testament to the boundless creativity of the universe.
This man has the beauty from the west and asia particularly from china.
"Is it because you are going to meet my sister?", he heard him teased.
Before he could answer him, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his chest.He accidentally dropped the glass of water.A sound of shatteres glass was created.
He watched his left wrist where he could see the glowing golden infinity written on it with a number '2' under it.
His heartbeat and breathing became rapid and his face became pale.He clutched his chest.
His figure became unsteady including his vision.He was feeling dizzy before his body fell down on the ground.
'Am I going to die again?'
He heard his friend calling his name in panic before his heart stopped beating.
Lia opened her eyes.It was also the same time for the man who just died from sudden cardiac arrest.
The man was sitting on an armchair in front of his office table while Lia was lying on the own bed.
Lia sat down and felt her wrist in pain as if there's something that's been carved.The man also felt the pain on his wrist.
The number '2' was now replaced with number '3'.
They've now entered a new time loop, the 3rd Time Loop.
