Chapter Twenty-One.Nina's POVSince I woke up in this body, I didn't really believe it at first. I've tried finding ways to go back, I keep wondering what if I'm just dreaming? What if I didn't really die and I'm just in a state of coma? So many what-ifs came to my mind. I can't accept that I died young and just months away from my eighteenth debut.I'm not scared of dying because I know all people will return to nature. Death is part of nature as is Life. But what I can't accept and what I fear is that I won't even be able to repay my parents and friends well. I'm scared of not paying them back for all their good deeds, I'm scared of not fulfilling my dreams, and being a burden because of all the things they have to prepare after my death.And if ever, I want to say goodbye for the last time.If I really did die and was reincarnated should I be reborn as a baby right? It doesn't matter if I still had my memories but to be reincarnated in a seventeen-year-old lady, doesn't make any s

Chapter Twenty-Three. Nina's POV Hilbert Alucard. The eldest son of a famous wealthy sea merchant from the southwestern region of the Kingdom that soon became a tycoon. I don't know much about him other than public information. The reason why I know his name is because I have to memorize all the names of the wealthy because it's part of the noble education and to avoid those who should be avoided and the shady characters. I can't also risk being exposed because even if Lady Marina will be forgotten, it only applies to people with no standing in society. Heyssss…. when I thought that noble are all just fun and games but it turns out not to be. Being a noble is exhausting, your schedule is full of classes and you can't just make your own schedule based on what you want to do. And why do all people I certainly remember Hilbert Alucard is because of his surname. It picks my interest because it's the same game that my male classmates from my past life always talk about. Second is becau

Chapter Twenty-Five."Where are you going now, Lady Marina?" Gina asked curiously when she saw me about to leave.I looked at her side before smiling. "I'm going to the Library. Do you want to come?"Her face immediately lit up like an excited child but her expression came to a halt and turned into a slight frown."I can't be with Lady Marina, even if I wanted to." Her face showed deep sadness and regret before she looked at me curiously."I didn't expect you to like books Lady Marina, I thought you didn't like books because they said you get bored of them quickly ah-" she came to a halt and gasped as if she should never have said that.She looked at me worriedly and her face spelled regret. "L-Lady Marina, that's not what I meant, it's not that I believe the words p-but that's because..." Her bright violet eyes started to reflect as if she was about to cry a little bit. this.I looked around and noticed a lot of people looking at our place.Girl don't cry here! Jusko! they might misu

Chapter Twenty-Seven. Nina’s POV The sudden knock on the door almost made me jump in fright. Mabuti na lang ay agad kong napigilan ang sarili ko kundi, I would probably let out an ear piercing scream na samahan pa ng malulutong na mura. That would be very shameful and would crushed my precious noble status. Well, it's not like super ganda ng status ko pero, at least naman may konting pride rin bilang isang noble, for all the hard work and lesson na dinaanan ko. "Lady Marina, may dumating pong isang package para sayo." Rita announced behind the door. Agad akong naka-hinga ng maluwag dahil hindi narinig ni Rita ang pinag-usapan namin ni Droon or more likely me talking to myself. I sounded like a mental patient. Well, hindi na ako magtataka dahil sanay na ako sa ganoon. My parents always say na nababaliw na raw ako, everytime na naririnig nila akong mag-isang tumatawa o nakikitang ngumiti ng mag-isa. It’s inevitable, lalo na kapag nakaka-hook ang story. "Come in," I said. Pretend

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE Nina's POV I lift up my hand and bend down to reach the fancy decorated box. I grabbed it and placed it in my lap. I slowly pulled the hem of the red ribbon until it was unwrapped. I can't help but to grin widely. My hands are shaking from the excitement because this is my first time receiving a fancy decorated, magical gift. I think my courting to Death did receive a slight response. The box wasn't that big, it was a medium size box. I immediately pulled the top cover and when I saw what was inside I couldn't help but be surprised. My eyes went wide open that I think were the size of an owl. My hands were trembling, my pupils shook and my heart palpitated when I saw what's inside the box. I can't believe this! The item inside the box was also a small black box! What's a scam?! I think I got scammed. Thank you very much to everyone! I controlled my trembling hands from anger and took a deep breath. All the suspense was not good for my heart, the feeling i
