THROUGH THE SCHEMES OF FATE

HOW COULD YOU

'She was différent.'

His words blew her like wind, sending chivers down her spine, but she was void of fear. Her hair went down covering her face and she made no effort to thug it behind her ears, but she was still curious about the man who probably still stood still behind her. He was as mysterious as legend and his personality aroused one's curiosity, but she couldn't tell what he was thinking no matter how hard she tried to read through him.

"You're quite good as disguising, to be able to hide such a mysteriouse side."

Louisa looked at Helios calmly, she didn't comment, as for who she was.

Of course she was still Louisa, even if a genetic testing was conducted on her, she was sure not to fall out. Mediums or spiritualist might determine the content of the body, but science would prove them wrong. As a great number believes more in science than fantasy, majority would obviously win the vote.

"So who exactly are you?"

He insisted, but Louisa had no intention of telling him, neither did she want to deny the actual fact. Whatever she would have said wouldn't change anything. She had already renounced her older self and now she was the ruthless and cold Louisa.

"Who I am..."

"...."

"What do you think ?"

Her words were straight and definite, with no intentions of any further explanation, so Helios didn't insist. But he wasn't disappointed, after all he was still able to get what he pleased. She didn't admit it the truth, neither did she deny it, so he could make his own conclusions based on their little but profitable conversation.

"Young master, do you think Miss Woods had been hiding her abilities over the years?", Lewis came forward as soon as Louisa walked back to her room. He didn't dare come while she was still there because no matter what he only respected his master's orders and privacy.

"I think so."

Lewis looked at the petit frame that was working away with admiration

"Then Miss Woods could hide for so long, why did she suddenly decide to counterattack?" He couldn't understand, to bé able to endure all the humiliation for so many years, it was hard to fathom her intentions . Such a person waa dangerouse as an enemy, but if she became a harm, it might be beneficial.

'Who exactly was she?'

Back in her room, Louisa quickly disrobed herself and walked into the foamy bathtub.

The images of Helios and his words rewinded in Louisa's mind like a record as soon as she dipped her body in the big bathtub filled with medicinal herbs she had earlier mixed.But she still couldn't help forget what Helios had said. She had already known that he was someone special, but to what point or extent, she wouldn't have been able to weigh it. It was good as long as he didn't know about her transmigration, a secret to be burried with her.

~However

It didn't matter very much because she had much more occupations and her revenge was still on line. With the amount of money she had received from Helios she could rent or buy a house elsewhere and avoid any future conflict them.

The more conflict she had, the more strength and knowledge of defence she would be able to grow. But more importantly, she still had to learn more about Annie. She needed to know why the original host of the body had thesame appearance with her and why Annie didn't differ in appearance with her mother.

All her life she had never heard about her mother having a twin sister or about her having one as well. But here she was, in Louisa's body, it was as if God had granted back to her, everything that had been snatched by Sara.

At least she still possessed some few and as for the others, she would definitely snatch it back from Sara.

The next morning Louisa dressed up into a white plain gown she had founf hidden behind the wardrobe. The gown had been hidden with other lovely gowns, although not her taste, but it was better than the other ones.

The original owner dared not wear it for fear of having it being snatched by her sisters. It looked like a kind of Cinderella story, apart from the fact that no prince was coming to her rescue. She had to deal with her dear sisters and revenge for the original host of the body who had been killed and died unjustly.

Today was a new day and a new step, so she walked towards the table where she had seen Yasmine having her breakfast by herself, her elder sister wasn't there, but I didn't change anything so she sat on the table.

"Heye, did you lost your way, your place is in the kitchen, I'm sure they're pretty much leftovers there today.", Yasmine protested, but Louisa ignored her, not because she was scared of her, but because she knew it was the best way to anger Yasmine.

"Did you just hear what I said ?", Yasmine slammed the table in annoyance, but Louisa barely paid attention to her.

"I only heard a dog barking." Louisa said indifferently, causing Yasmine to be.

enraged.

"How dare you call me dog.", Yasmine lost temper, sitting up from her sit and pointing fingers towards Louisa who was cold towards her.

"I only said dog, unless you think you're fit to be a dog, I won't stop you."

"You..."

"You should mind your words, if you can't provide evidence of slanders, no one might ever pay attention to your words."

She was right, and as her sister had always taught her, she had to always provide evidence of her words. It was hard but she had to acquiesce to a person like Louisa, but it made her so angry. Not only did she change , but she became smarter. But at the end she was still not liked by grand mother.

Besides, Yasmine couldn't believe that Louisa could win over her in just few words.

"Hein, you think you're smart right, but let me remind you of your position in this house,dummy!"

'Dummy ?', Yasmine's words weighed with disdain, but Louisa wasn't surprised, not even after Yasmine ordered maids to bring over the rest of dog food and placed in front of her.

"For every dog deserves what dogs eat, so have a nice meal."

Every dog?

Yasmine felt proud, when she had achieved the goal of reminding Louisa that she was a dog. But what she hadn't expected was to have Louisa spill the while bowl of food over her head.

"You're right, every dog deserves dog food, do you agree to your own words 'sister'.

Yasmine was frozen on her position and her eyes had widened in disbelief, that she almost couldn't believe her body was dripping of food, food that should have been given to the dogs.

"Y...you...how could you...?"
