Chapter 87 - Thanks for the warning

I force myself to move. There is a mountain of gifts in the corner of the room. I recall that I married someone yesterday. There was a wedding. Chisa also came. What happened later? I can't remember. I must have passed out again.

I look down at my clothes. Who changed my clothes? Hopefully, it wasn't Kiyohira

The ringing restarts again. I want to kill this caller. 

I move the boxes until I find the one that is screaming intensely. I unwrap the gift and find a laptop. There are other gears in it. The quality is satisfactory. It lifts my mood a little. I pick up the call.

"Ren, I won't kill you because you sent me a good gift."

[You knew it was me? Rie Chan, you are so smart. I missed you so much. Your memories have really returned.]

How many friends will send me such a gift? I open the laptop with my left hand. "How much did you pay for this?"

[It is still cheaper compared to what others gave you at your wedding. Rie Chan, do you like it? This model is not out in the market yet. I have set up everything that you might want. We can video chat every day... *snickers* We can watch p.o.r.n together.]

"I don't want to video chat with you." He has done his job well. "Are you still associated with them?"

[ *Chuckle* You are still worried about me. I love you, Rie Chan. Why did you get married? I thought that you would become my bride one day.]

"Annoying."

[If Kiyohira becomes annoying, leave him and marry me.]

"We tested and failed."

[That was two years ago. Who knows what can happen in the future? Even if we don't like kissing each other, we can still grind levels and live together forever.]

"The offer is nice. I will keep that in my mind."

A moment of silence. [Are you okay?]

"I have been better," I answer him honestly.

[Rie Chan, a lot of people thought that you died two years ago. I would have preferred if it remained the same way because Merciless_B's identity was leaked. So, you better not do anything to attract the attention of those who still believe that you are dead. Live a quiet life, okay?]

I get what he is trying to say. "Thanks for the warning."

It's a bit late though. I had a dramatic wedding yesterday that's going to attract attention.

[You always have me beside you even if I can't be there physically. If you need any help, tell me right away. My number is on the phone.]

"Okay." I hang up. I clench and unclench my fingers. It's been a long time since I had my own laptop. Ren's gift is appreciated.

The first thing that I will do is look into what Chisa has been up to. She hated the fact that Miwako died. I also hate it that Miwako died before I could touch her. What's it like to be eaten by a shark? Is it worse than living in hell?

Miwako isn't here to answer my questions. I think that she died an easy death. 

Chisa's school records are fake. Her biological father is already dead. Her mother is a woman who likes to spend money and live a luxurious life. Recently, there has been a change. Hashimoto Chisa is chosen as the heir. Choosing stepdaughter over a biological son? That sounds like something she can achieve.

I stare at her picture. There is not one imperfection on her face. She is meticulous in doing what she does. Ever since young, she has liked to keep her reputation clean. She's the angel.

There's not a speckle of dust on her in front of other people. My classmates never knew who she really was. It was always Miwako, her right hand. Someone must have replaced Miwako then.

It's not surprising to me that she has controlled her information revealed to the public. 

"Why is her phone clean?" I find it odd. There aren't many contacts on her phone - her family, a few friends with a clean history, and her secretary. 

A person like her will be cautious of hackers like me. Anyway, first thing first, let's reveal how you were a poor cinderella once. You want to hide about your real father or what kind of job your mother used to do. You want to hide that you have once gone to the same school as me. You want to hide that you weren't always an angelic princess born in a clean family.

You might hide the past, but you can't change it. I will rip away all the layers of your mask first and watch you become lose your so-called perfection. When you have gone mad, I will come and break you down with my hands.
