Three faces of Rose のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

~ Blaire~The moment I realized I owned the body, I jumped into action, every part of me screamed control, power and I wasn’t about to let anyone mistake me for weak Rose.I grabbed the makeup and worked fast, covering every trace of Rose soft, innocent look…Just remembering Rose’s face, her weak, helpless expression made anger boil inside me, that wasn’t me…that wasn’t who I wanted the world to see.When it came to dressing, I chose Blaire’s style not Rose’s boring, quiet girl vibe, I put on a fitted half-top, a short skirt…clothes that hugged the body in all the right places, i looked in the mirror and finally saw myself and not Rose… not a weakling but someone strong, bold, and in control.When I was done, I headed straight to my usual spot. You know the place…always loud, always wild, always alive, one of my favorite clubs, but the moment I walked in, the energy felt off.The vibe was dead. The crowd looked dull.I went to my corner, ordered vodka,

~Rose~Another stressful day…that’s the only thought in my head as I dropped into my chair.The moment I sat, the whole thing wobbled, shaking like it might collapse under me. Perfect. Even my chair seemed tired of me and, of course, nobody was going to fix it. Why would they? I was only the fifth secretary and a useless one at that, the one nobody cared about.The weekend had drained the last bit of life out of me. Susy the little girl, the other face had come out again.She messed up everything, she threw my clothes everywhere, scattered my room, and turned my space inside out until it looked like a storm had passed through. And obviously I spent the entire weekend cleaning up after her…sorting, folding, forcing things back into order while my own mind stayed in pieces.And now, I was back at work, already exhausted and already done.I was still drowning in my thoughts when the telephone on my desk rang.I froze.In over two

I scrambled to open the door and slipped into the front passenger seat beside the driver, I kept my hands on my lap, silent the entire drive, terrified of making even the smallest mistake.When we arrived at the conference hall, my breath caught.The place was huge, people everywhere well-dressed, confident, beautiful, their clothes sharp, their faces perfect and me? I still had bubble gum stains on my skirt, I felt like a shadow among diamonds.Kelvin whispered sharply, “Give me the book.”I handed it to him, then stepped aside.“You’ll wait here,” he instructed. “Sit somewhere at the corner.”He disappeared into the hall with the other important people.I quietly slipped back out and found a seat near the door, a bit far away from everyone.I sat there alone, waiting for my almighty boss to finish his meeting so I could follow him back.And return to whatever new task he had waiting for me next.After a few minutes, I saw my boss step out of

Ms Choice didn’t move for a moment, her frail disguise trembled slightly, but her eyes… her eyes were too sharp, nothing like the weak old woman she was pretending to be.Then, without warning, something slipped into her hand.A small skull.Not human-sized… tiny but carved ancient-looking, Its hollow eyes glowed faintly, like something inside it was alive and watching me.I froze.“Ms Choice… what are you doing?” I whispered, my voice barely leaving my throat.She didn’t answer.Instead, she lifted the skull slowly to her mouth.And thenshe blew.It wasn’t a gentle puff.This one carried power.The air trembled.A cold blast exploded outward in a violent circle around us.Before I could screamWHOOOOOOSHHHH!A strong wind swallowed everything.Her hair whipped around her face.My stomach dropped like I was falling off a cliff.The whole world twisted, stretched, bent and then..It stopped.Like nothing

She slipped into the outfit confidently, adjusting the jacket, turning side to side like she was on a runway.Then she reached for the makeup bag.Panic shot through me.“BLAAIRE! STOP!”She paused mid-grab, amused. “Hmm? Someone is shouting.”“Please,” I begged, my voice shaking inside her head. “Just for once, listen to me… Just once.”She raised an eyebrow. “Why should I?”“Because if you apply makeup,” I said quickly, desperately, “my boss might recognize you and he’ll notice…people will talk. They’ll notice you’re a totally different person from me, please go without makeup even if you have to wear the skirt… just go without makeup..I beg you.”Blaire crossed my arms and tilted my head, smiling slowly like a cat who just caught a mouse.“Ohhh… look at Rose…so desperate.”She giggled. “I love this.”“Please, Blaire I promise—” my voice cracked, “I promise, I’ll do anything you ask me to do…anything but just pretend to be me today,
