Semua Bab Take The Damn Dog: Bab 1 - Bab 9

"That toy poodle is so adorable! Sir, how much is it? I’ll take it!"Inside the bustling pet market, my best friend, Emily Summers, who’d always been terrified of dogs, rushed up to the pet shop owner, not even bothering to ask the price before claiming Snowy the fluffy white poodle for herself.Then, she quickly scooped Snowy into her arms, clutching it like she was afraid I’d snatch it away.Watching her, I instantly knew she had been reborn too.Sure enough, Emily beamed as she cuddled Snowy, then gave me a triumphant glance."Sorry, Mia. I know you wanted this dog too, but I beat you to it! Now I’m gonna be on a roll, get rich, and who knows, maybe even meet my Prince Charming!"She was practically glowing with excitement, the gleam in her eyes screaming victory.Nevertheless, I just looked at her with a calm expression. "I never wanted that dog."In my previous life, the only reason I bought Snowy was because the pet shop owner had kept begging, saying the poor thing was s

Silas’s voice was sharp, tinged with urgency as he grabbed Emily by the wrist and demanded, "Where’s the dog?"Emily froze, completely caught off guard that Silas even knew about the dog. She stammered out, "I-It wouldn’t stop barking today. I thought it wasn’t feeling well, so I brought it to the pet hospital."She wasn’t lying. She had actually taken Snowy to the hospital. The dog had grown weak.In our previous life, after I brought it home, I had cared for it meticulously. I thought it was just malnourished. I made soup for it, fed it nourishing broths, and kept it close by my side at all times. Even at work, I’d leave it in my car so I could check on it constantly, terrified something might go wrong.Thanks to that care, it gradually improved. Its coat even became shinier and smoother. I worked myself sick looking after it.However, this time around, Emily had no patience or energy for the dog. Her mind was consumed with one thing only—marrying Silas. She simply dumped the do

I gasped sharply.That voice! It was exactly the same one I heard right before I died in my past life!Who was it? Who was speaking to Emily?Emily clearly heard it too. She whipped around in a panic. "Who said that?!"She spun in a circle, holding up her phone and scanning the entire room. But there was no one there, just her and Snowy. There was no other person in sight.So, naturally, she turned her suspicion toward me."Mia, what kind of creepy trick are you pulling? What gift for Snowy? This is my wedding! If anyone’s getting gifts, it’s me!""That wasn’t me," I said flatly, staring at the video screen. The unease in my gut was growing.Nevertheless, Emily didn’t take it seriously. She was just about to throw another insult my way when Silas’s voice cut in from off camera."Emily, are you ready?"She spun around in delight. "Ready! Silas, look! How do I look in my dress—?"Smack!Before she could finish, Silas slapped her hard across the face. Then, he glared at her, s

The more I thought about it, the more terrified I became. In a panic, I ran to my computer and started digging through every piece of information I could find on Silas.Finally, buried deep in a sea of financial news articles, I found one tiny mention of his personal life."Three years ago, Silas Sullivan, CEO of the Sullivan Group, lost his first love, Isla Shaw, in a devastating car accident. Her body was severely mutilated in the crash. Interestingly, her beloved white toy poodle survived unscathed and even made its way home to the Sullivan residence all on its own…"Reading that, a chill ran down my spine.Now, I understood everything.Three years ago, after Isla died, her soul hadn’t fully dissipated. For some reason, it had become attached to her pet poodle. For the past three years, Silas had been trying to find a way to extract her soul and return it to a human body.If I was right, then in my past life, and now in this one with Emily, Silas had been using women as vessel

I grabbed the charm around my neck and let out a cold laugh."Father Alaric, word is you were expelled from the orthodox church years ago for practicing dark and forbidden rituals. Now you peddle your dirty magic for the rich. I had no choice but to go to your old church and ask for a protective charm. Let me also remind you: those who walk in evil will always meet their end."Ever since I was reborn, I had suspected that the whole thing was related to some dark and forbidden ritual. So I went to a church to secure a protective charm in advance.When I told Father Samuel Whitaker, the priest at the church what had happened, he was horrified that someone like me had been victimized. He promised to personally deal with this corrupt Father Alaric and said he’d show up soon.The moment I spoke, Father Alaric's face went pale."You went to my old master? What… what did you tell him? No, no, this isn’t good. Mr. Sullivan, I—I need to leave for a while!"He turned to run.However, Sila
