Her dress was covered in blood, her face pale, she was struggling to breath, she felt helpless, she was pained, tears had spoilt her makeup, she smiled to herself, who would have thought that the mighty Doctor would end up like this.
laying down on the cold floor she could hear their happy voice and laughter downstairs, she smiled to herself in despair, she couldn't believe these were the people she once called family, she sacrifice everything in her to put a smile on their face, she thought they genuinely love her, she has done everything in her powers for them, made lot of enemies because of this people, people she called family, she expected that once she's in need they would also help her.
No Matter how cold she was to people outside once it comes to her family she was very soft to them, the only people that knows her her smile looks like.
she has been shot in her abdomen and legs. the floor was dyed red with her blood. of course this little gun shot wouldn't have rendered her helpless and in pain, Her family has been feeding her poison slowly, the poison had damage every cells and organs in her body, blood was sipping from her lips, thinking back to every thing she has done for this family she couldn't help the smile escape from her face, if anything she has been a great and good person to this very family that has done everything in them to reduce her to this very state that's she's in right now she struggles with her last breath, the poison rendered helpless, no single strength left in her, yet the were celebrating her downfall downstairs. looking round her room that she has spent all her life in, her happy moments, sad moment, her most successful moment were all spent in this Very room.
she knows she couldn't be save any more the poison has done lots of damages to her body.
she has been too careless around this family, she trusted so much, anyone who knows her know she hardly trust or let people into her life, her food, her drink everything she eats or drink in this house had poison in them, they've been doing it for the past ten years since grandfather brought her back from the country side,she would have known, there's no way her father would sit so calm and watch her inherit the properties her grandfather left for her,
people were right about step mother after all, step mother only thinks of themselves and children, there's no way on earth they will watch you become greater than their children.
Thinking back to her naive she had been she couldn't help the laugh that escape from her lips, even in her dying moment anyone who sees her could tell she has been a great beauty, her face was pale, her legs were shaking badly but she was determined to stand up.
Her so called family downstairs were celebrating, she carried the cup of red wine, this very wine was poisoned, it was her favourite wine, if she was going to dye, at least let her enjoy the taste one last time before dying.
she walked into her lab, that was on the second floor, opened it, mix some chemicals. it would take at least 20 minutes before this chemical react and blow up the whole building. since she can't live no one deserves to live, hahahaha her laugh was so painful, anyone who heard it would definitely shiver from the sound of it.
Holding the Wine she walked downstairs gracefully, her dress dyed red from her blood couldn't stop her from stealing the moment.
Immediately her step sister spotted her, she stopped the music everyone turn to look at her, she walked down the stairs in a graceful manner, sat down on her late grand father sit, this very chair brought up bitter sweet memories. Everyone watched her sitting down there, the look that gave her was like that of a fly, they saw her as a pollutions polluting the air, the way her fiancé looked at her stabbed her heart for the second time in less than 3 hours before he could open his mouth to utter a word she beat him to it..
Her Voice has that calm effect that most therapist lack, no matter how much you hate her, you can't deny the fact that everything in her has a calming effect, everything about her is perfection, Any one could tell that her creator took his time when creating her.
Since am going to die soon, you people should at least accommodate my dying moment,am not asking for much plus this is my house after all, grandfather left everything in my name, those words reminded her father what a failure he is, a failure that his father refused to leave the company and everything to him, thinking that she would die soon and he can invite various news agency to announce himself as the Heir of Scott Corporation, with that thought he looked at her with contempt .
The disdain was evident in their faces, Her father, Step mother, Step Sister, Best friend and her fiancé.
Her Step Sister hand was wrapped around her fiancé waist, they couldn't wait for her to die before displaying their love for each other. Anybody with eyes could tell they've been in a relationship for long, apparently she was the only one blind to this so called love they were displaying, Her best friend was sipping wine looking at her with a smug smile, the same best friend she had saved from the brisk of death. looking at her fiancé, she felt she has really been a fool to fall in love with such a duck, she wondered when her taste in men became so poor. was she that poor in judgement that she couldn't differentiate real love from fake love. she looked upstairs and saw that the smoke was already covering every where, when those so called family and friend saw it their face pale, she was so pleased with their expression, Her father roar at her, demanding what she has done.
Ruby smiled, well since I can't live no one should then, Do you really think I would live you to enjoy grand father hard work?.
The next thing they heard was an explosion..
The Scott Family all died in that explosion their corps were burnt beyond recognition..
when the corps were brought out Ruby face has that smile even in her death.
I could hear voices from afar, voice of my aunty in the country side yelling, I can't make up the words she was saying, the pain in my heart it's not something that can be described at this moment, so this is what it feels like to be dying, hearing the voice of your loved ones and still not able to touch them or hug there, oh how I hate the world and everything in it.
I could hear laughter of my aunty and her son Adams, if only my step mother and Father gave me a year to fulfill my promise to Adams before deciding to put an end to my life, I had promised Adams I would send him to the U.S. to further his Education, Adams is such an intelligent boy, all he needs is a sponsor to further his Education, he would make a very good Engineer. I was lost in my thoughts until I felt a warm hand shaking me, the first face that came into my voice was Adams face, he looks like he was back to his 13 years self, OMG how I missed this face, this carefree look, ever since grandfather came to carry me back to Country A, I haven't seen him in person, just phone call and video calls, I didn't even see his look as an adult.
I was lost in my thoughts when Adams pulled my hands and asked why I was crying, I made a little white lie and asked him to get me water to drink, I looked round my old room, couldn't help the sign that excaped my lips.
I have been reborn back to when I was 15 years, oh my Goodness, I knew right there that this is a second chance, to rewrite my fate, every decision I take from henceforth matters a lot from this moment.
My Aunt rushed into my room upon hearing from Adams that my stomach hurt, that was the little lie I told and now, she has taking it serious, she asked if it was my menstraul cycle, as heaven will have it I was on my period that moment so I just went ahead with the flow, she boiled a favourite menstraul pain reliever, some kind of soup that has ginger and brown sugar in it, after taking it she asked me to lay down and sleep for a while. I did as I was told but I couldn't sleep, I was scared of closing my eyes, I don't want to open it back and find myself in that hellish place in city A.
it's already 10 am since I couldn't sleep I decided to go help my aunt out in the small restaurant we own, my aunt is a great cook, I learnt from her since I was a little girl, My Mom died giving birth to me, everyone knows my Father married her because of her brilliance, he wasn't in love with her, everyone knows he has a mistress outside, my mom didn't care though or maybe she did and she hoping he would change one day and be the husband she always wanted.
The moment she stopped breathing in the hospital, my aunt instited she would carry me back to the country side, she was ready to create a scene in that hospital. My grandfather had to give in to her request knowing fully well he would never be able to convince her otherwise and his son is too useless to raise a child, my grandfather gave her some money but she refused it.
she left the hospital that day and my father didn't bother to check up on us since then.
He was more than happy to be single again, he wanted a firm hold in the Scott Corporation and he got what he wanted marrying more Mom, his position in the corporation was secure the moment he married her, He brilliance was something every socialite wanted, my father was the envy of the society at that moment. Husband would compare their Wife to my Mom. even women were jealous of her ability, her business strategy was so good that she could turn a firm at the brick of bankruptcy into solvent. men wanted her for themselves, I wonder what she saw in my father maybe love is truly blind, I mean I died once for love right?..
Walking into the Restaurant I could see my aunty busy taking orders and Adams sitting in one corner going through his home work, my aunt looked up and saw me, she smiled and asked why I wasn't laying down and resting blue eye, yes blue eye that's what people call me, apparently no one knows her or who I inherited my eyes from, my mom and Father both have grey eyes, and blond hair, I on the other hand have blue eyes and curly black hair making stand out in the crowd.
I started helping my aunt immediately I entered to take orders from customer while she prepares the dish. we would often gist and talk about life in the city and laugh, this is the moment I want to relive every single time I think of my past life and the fake love I mistook for genuine love.
Aunt asked what I would to do next week Friday since its my birthday, honestly if it was before I would have and start making plans about it but remembering how I was betrayed on my birthday in my past life I just told her I want something simple, I wouldn't mind having dinner with her and Adams. they are the only family I have right now and grandfather of course but he's still in the city A and I don't know if he would turn up like he did in my past life. my Aunt asked if I was okay, I just smiled and said yes, I know she already noticed the indifference I was giving since I woke this morning but it can't be helped, I have seen the good, bad ugly and beautiful side of life.
Chapter 3.
yay today is my 15th year birthday yes you heard right, was reborn at 15 or so, I have decided to cook fried rice and turkey, my favourite food, if there's anything am happy about it's the fact that I can actually eat food, lol, am a very good cook no doubt, so I decided to go into the woods to get some carrot, last year we couldn't cook at home cause I had told my aunty I wanted to sit out with my class mate but not any more am going to cherish every moment with my aunt and Adams, I have taken them for granted once not anymore.
Entering the farm I saw traces of blood, I have been in the lab for too long in my past life so long, when I see fresh blood I know, and the blood on the floor was still very fresh, at first I thought someone was injured or step their leg on animal trap..
in my past life I was an excellent Doctor, but I was only working behind the scenes so my step sister took all the praise.. I wasn't going to make the same again, I followed the blood, am a doctor I can't turn my back now can I?. what if the blood belongs to an innocent person or worst child, I sworn an oath to protect and that's what am going to do, I just can't help it, at times I feel like am too good for my own good. I mean I decided to be a good Samaritan and ended up been used by my father, step mother, step sister, best friend and fiancé, the thought of those people makes my blood boil, I feel like going to strangle them but it's not the time yet..
On getting to the spot I found an old man, I think he passed out from excessive blood loss, he was bleeding badly, there is a huge wound on his shoulder, who ever did this to him wanted to take his, thank goodness it wasn't close to his chest region, Looking at this man I couldn't help but remember my grandfather, he's always yelling or been grumpy, anyone with a good sense of judgement could tell his a nice person.
coming back to the present I heard sound of foot step and deep voices, the old man laying in the pool of his blood woke up and pleaded with me to take him away from here, He looks so pale, he reminded me of my condition before I died in my past life.
even even if he had not pleaded at that moment I intend to take him home, I torn my cloth to wrap his shoulder to stop the bleeding and draged him home...
my Aunt was so scared when she saw us, of course I wasn't going to tell her the old man was been hunted and that resulted to his wounded shoulder, so I made up a lie that he fell on the mountain side and fell into animal trap.
Don't blame me for lying to her repeatedly, it would be better and safe for her if she doesn't know, after helping the old man I went to pick herbs to treat the wound and prevent it from getting infected. I had to leave the Cooking to my aunt, of course we are still going to celebrate my birthday, we just need to include one extra mouth and that's the old man, Dinner was ready by 5pm and the old man just woke up, I made some herbal soup for him to drink, since he hasn't eaten anything throughout the day, it won't be ok if he just starts eating..
from the way the old man was acting, you could he comes from an influencial background, his etiquettes and everything was screaming rich, well I guess I just hit the jackpot right, lol just joking..
After Dinner the old man asked if he could use our cell phone to call his grandson to come get him, my aunt was more than happy to oblige. I guess the blood she saw must have really scared the hell out of her. well he needs to go to the hospital though, I still don't have the proper equipment to attend to his injury, we just left the herb to cover it up, he might need to get the wound stitch or so....
I was asked to pick up his grandson from the restaurant and bring him home since he doesn't know our house plus the road isn't very friendly and all that stuff.
On getting to the restaurant I saw a red Ferrari oh my goodness, even my wealthy family in the city couldn't afford such an expensive car, I knew it, I saved a billionaire. who knows this could be a happy beginning for me.
I never knew this old man that I had helped would be the one to turn my fate for better and good...
Are you grandfather Ben grandson I asked, he was shocked before nodding his head, I got into the car and we drave to my Aunt house, the distance from the restaurant to my Aunt house isn't much but for some reason I felt that was one of the longest trip I have had so far, grandfather Ben grandson kept looking at me like he wants to say something but nothing came out of his mouth, I just ignored him throughout the trip, the moment we got to my Aunt house, I got down, face him and told him to his face that it was rude to stare at someone, I didn't wait for his reaction before turning to head back inside, he walked behind me but kept a distance from me.
When we got in I saw grandfather Ben talking and laughing with my aunt, I don't know what they were talking about but seeing her happy she was talking to a stranger aside Adams and I, I was grateful...
it was Time for grandfather Ben to go but to the city, he told us he would come back after receiving proper treatment. he wanted to give my aunt money but we turned it down....
