All Chapters of After My Death, I Became A Genius: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

NATHANIELLightning struck once, revealing the huge Entrance of The Abraham Estate. Reminding me of the scenes of horror stories.In truth, that wasn't far from reality though. I was scared.Even though I live here, the place still made me straighten my back unconsciously, the moment the black SUV rolled through the entrance.My hand instinctively pressed against the scarf wrapped around my waist as the car came to a stop in front of the main entrance. Immediately, the door was opened, and I was taken inside in haste...Half an hour later...I was lying on my bed. The bullet wound had already been treated by the family doctors the moment I was brought here after sending the emergency signal. The pain was still there, dull and persistent, but the doctors had reassured me that the bullet had narrowly missed anything vital. A few weeks of recovery would be enough.Still, the physical pain was the least of my worries. What truly weighed on my mind was the fact that I had failed the missio

SAVANNA (VERONICA)As the late afternoon fell, I walked toward home, the place where I breathed peacefully. Before, Veronica used to rush home as it was the only place she used to feel safer than outside, but for me, I rushed home because I needed to keep others safe from me.What an irony, eh? I hoped Veronica's soul would rest in peace knowing how I was avenging her.Today, however, I was a bit slow, in fact, I took the quieter and longer alley to return home, something Veronica would never do.The cold breeze swept past me, making me pull the hoodie of the oversized sweatshirt more. The same sweatshirt that once fit me snugly now it was oversized. Well, the entire outfit was loose now. Not bad though, oversized clothes were my things. They were comfortable. But for the quality—well, it seemed that I needed to buy new ones.Soon, I turned to the quietest alley. It was usually avoided by most people, specifically, around this time. However, my gaze scanned each corner briefly, as exp

BECKYI never imagined in just a day my life would spiral so badly.By the time the police arrived at school, the entire campus already knew something was wrong.At first it had just been whispers. But in no time the whispers turned to a full chaos. Every lips had my name only..."Did you hear what Becky did?""She paid those gangsters to kill someone!""Seriously? That's insane. I never thought she's so dangerous!""My cousin literally saw the cops talking to them!""I wonder who that person is! Could it be any girl hitting on Damon? Damn! She's crazy!"... The words floated through the hallways like poison in the air.Yes, being the center of attention had been my dream ever since, but, not for this reason. No!The worst part happened when the cops walked into the campus. Those stupid students were so curious, they started recording! But thankfully, the teachers rushed them away from the hallway, yet, they were still trying to peek in.But was it enough? Never. It was already too lat

SAVANNA (VERONICA)When Ethan asked that question, I wasn't surprised actually. Since I had known him, he was quite a curious and intelligent individual. Therefore, it was quite common for him to already doubt that.However, the answer wasn't for him to learn.So, instead of answering directly, I turned my head slightly and asked, "Where were you all afternoon?"The question caught him off guard.His steps slowed, and his gaze dropped to the cracked phone he still held in his hand. The hesitation on his face was painfully obvious. For a moment he simply stared at the sidewalk, and then—"I... j-just w-want to share y-your and m-mom's burden," he said slowly. "S-so... I f-found t-two p-part-time j-jobs."His words made a twist quietly in my chest with that same foreign feeling I yet to understand.He looked nervous after admitting it, like he was bracing himself for criticism.Maybe he expected me to scold him. Maybe he thought I would remind him about his disabilities...Instead, I re

SAVANNA (VERONICA)Ethan's question was a genuine curiosity and innocence which was quite common in his place... Just a boy trying to understand his sister who no longer made sense to him.So, I only shrugged, "I saw it in a movie once," I said casually, taking a sip of my cold drink.Ethan blinked. His brows furrowed, clearly not convinced. He looked rather confused. Though he didn't push further, only nodded. I could see the flicker of doubts still lingering within him.My gaze then turned to mom. She was surprised too, but she seemed too overwhelmed by everything else to question it.The food came out super fast. Each dish was like a work of art.Ethan hesitated before even touching his fork, glancing at me as if asking for permission.I gave him a small nod. "Eat," I said gently. "You'll like it."He did... Slowly at first, awkwardly navigating the cutlery, as though he was afraid of embarrassing himself."Just use it however you want. We're paying for our food, so don't bother wi
