A soft knock on the door made it way inside the room waking up Arianna who is sleeping on her table, the said lady lazily opened her eyes and stare at the detailed designs of the mahogany door waiting for another knock

Just as what shes expecting another soft knock made its way through the door but this time much more firmer

Making a long sight arianna slump on her chair lazily and continously stare at the door

"Come in" she said as a long pause was made before the sound of the door opening been heard

"Good Afternoon Ms. Arianna ... " Said by the handsome young man who enter the room, one would have thought the guy is a model, his dazzling blond brown hair compliment his deep blue eyes, definitely handsome only if the stoic expression would soften a little bit

"Good Morning Felix" she said as she slowly reached for a cigarette and lighter from her drawer about to light up the cancerous thing

"Rule number 12 smoking inside the perimeter of the company is prohibited, people who'll get caught shall be subjected into minor to severe punishment"

"But im the Owner.."

"Rule number 50, All employees are subjected to follow the rules and regulation of the company, wether youre a CEO, CFO, President or Owner one must abide the rules, once youre proven guilty shall be punished accordingly"

A long pause was made as they both stare at each other, finally Arianna give up with a defeated look putting back the cigarette and lighter inside the drawer

"You really deserve the position you know, no one can limit me the way you could" she said as she gave him a smirk while straightening up her self in her chair

"Im only doing the job assigned to me boss" he said as a small smirk made its way to his handsome face

"Well then lets get to the business, what do you have for me ?" Arianna asked as she eye the envelope he's holding

The guy nodded and placed the said envelope on her table

"This are the past transaction of KG Smith Construction Inc. with their long term client Hellena Land which is known for owning of atleast 20% High end Real Estates and Hotels in the US, based on the informations we gathered, KG Smith and Hellena have an excellent and consistent transaction for the past 5 years however this year KG Smith is having a financial problem due to their past transaction with a telecommunications company last year.

The project with the telecommunication company cost 7.8 million dollar and till now the said telecommunication company havent paid 50% of their balance yet due to some reasons, this year specifically on September Hellena Land is planning to build and introduce their very first Casino at Las Vegas and was hoping to do this project with KG Smith - "

"However, because of the financial problem that KG Smith is facing right now, they havent provided a proper response with Hellena yet and since Building a Casino will most likely cost 10 to 15 million dollars they dont wanna accept the job cause of the financial problem that their company is experiencing, altho they might still have some capital with them its not advisable to completely use everything in your budget specially at a tough situation like this they might go bankrupt "Arianna said as she stand heading towards the window where in she can see the whole city of Newyork

"Exactly Boss"

"Well Our budget can purely afford this project specially that our last project with Madison Company is finished and we already received their payment"

"Thats right so i think its best to hit the iron while its hot this way we can shape it accordingly to what we desire" said by felix with determination in his eyes

"Then prepare a meeting between me and Hellena tomorrow, also advice the accounting to prepare the budget, this project will be ours" she said as a small smirk linger her face

"Copy"

'Seeing that confidence i believe we already won this battle' Felix thought to himself looking at the back of his boss

"Also after the meeting with Hellena clear all my engagements i wanna visit that place"

"That place you mean the orphanage Boss ?" He ask blinking twice

Its been awhile since she last visit the orphanage due to her busy schedule, seeing how smoothly things are going in her company maybe a small break wont hurt

"Yes " she said as she turned her back and gave him a smile

*The Next day*

"Thank you so much for accepting our late invitation despite your busy schedule Mrs.Hellena" Arianna said as she shake the hand of the elder woman with a smile

"Pleasure is mine Ms.Arianna, i look forward making more projects with you and your company"

"Like wise madam "

"Now that i think of it are you married ?"

This startle arianna as she blink twice

"Pardon?"

"Forgive this old woman for asking too much" the old woman said as she smile kindly at the girl

"Its alright Mrs.Hellena, i just did not expect that but in answering your question no im still single" arianna said smiling at the elder

"I see, well seeing how things goes in your company you definitely have your hands full, by the way my eldest son is still single it will be great if you can come at my 57th anniversary next month and meet him altho its not like im trying to match make the both of you but you can think its like that" said by the elder happily

Arianna laugh nervously and accepted the invitation of the woman bidding them farewell

With that the elder woman and her companion exit the luxurious restaurant, Arianna watched the two went their way out

"Marriage huh" ariane thought

This kind if matter never really enters her mind since she started working. Bcause of too much work and projects shes not able to build any romantic relationships with anyone altho sometimes she visit some bars to flirt with handsome cute guys but nothing where really serious

Sighting she look at the direction of the elder once she confirmed that they are not inside the restaurant anymore she immediately dial her secretaries number who immediately pick up the call.

"Good morning Ms.Arianna"

"Good morning Felix, the meeting is successful, tell the accounting department to prepare 13.6million for the projects budget"

"Noted"

"I wont be returning to the company anymore as ill be visiting the orphanage, tell every employee that there wont be any OT today and that before 4pm they should be out of the office"

" I see, but how about those with pending projects"

"Its fine, ill give them another 3 days for their deadlines, today is the day of celebration for being partners with Hellena Land, i want you and everyone to celebrate this, go eat somewhere fancy its my treat just make sure your bill wont reached hundred thousand dollar or ill kill you"

" So Ninety nine thousand is fine?"

"I almost laugh at your joke"

" I only joke once a year and you didnt even buy it"

Arianna burst out in laughter hearing those phrases from his secretary, it seems that this day is a good day

"Go take a break with everyone you guys deserved this, i cant thank you all enough for everything" she said letting a small smile crept in her lovely face

"Boss ... are you dying, your words are like of those who have 1 day left"

"Hahahaha ill make sure to hunt you if ever that happenes" she said sarcastically

" ... "

"Thank you Felix you worked hard"

A long silence was heard on the other line as arianna wait for the embarrassed response of her young secretary

" I - uhhhh .... ehem, im only doing my Job Ms.Arianna"

Arianna let out a small chuckle at the awkwardness of the young man, despite his younger age this guys have always been matured and calculated, people see him in a different league however he have his cute moments as well just like today

"Youre welcome Felix" she said softly with a mocking mhwuaaaah at the end

Felix is one of the most important friend she haved, the guy have been working with her for almost 9 years since he finished college at Oxfod University,despite his large potential to be of higher position in other company, he refused all offers and continue to work under her, when she asked the reason why he just said that its too troublesome to change a job and that the location is too far unlike her company which is 1km away from his pent house, after that convo they grow closer together like brothers and sisters.

After paying the bills arianna left the restaurant immediately making her way to the parking lot

"Good thing this location is not so far from the orphanage" she mutter to her self as she look at the clear blue sky

"What a wonderful day" she said to her self going inside her Dark Blue Rolls Royce Sweptail

" I should go to the mall first and buy some clothes and toys for the kids" she said as she starts the engine and play her favorite song "Close to you by Carpenters"

Watching at the beautiful scenery at the road that her car stroll she cant help but admire the scenery specially when her car stroll around the clif where in the beautiful blue ocean can be seen

When did the last time she visit the ocean again ? its been decades since she last went there and its with her parent which is also the last place they went together before the car accident

Snapping out from her thoughts arianna immediately put back her gaze on the street only to see a small child standing in the high way

"WTF !" She shouted as she immediately turn left only to get her car hit by a truck

The large impact turn her car upside down she watch as memories from her past flash before her

' So its really true that when youre dying youll have a moment to see your most memorable past flash infront of you' she thought to her self as she watched her past flash before her. Losing both her parents at a young age theres only little memories she can see with them but what get her attention most is a 5 years old arianna happily went to mall with her mother who continously pick a dress for her

"Mom" she muttered to her self as she look at the smiling face of her beautiful mom which she never seen for decades

Then another flash of her past about giving her first medal to her father while he hug her and put her small frame at his shoulder telling her how proud he is to have a daughter like her

'Dad' she said as a small tears made its way to her cheeks

'I'll see you soon, i hope you'll recognize me as im a big girl now' she though to her self as the colors starts to fade away and was replaces by darkness

*ARIANNA POV*

A sound of a water droplets put back my conciousness

'Where am i' i thought to my self as i continously hear the dripping water, i tried to move and feel my surrounding but for some reason my body feels numb not having any energy or senses at all,i tried to open my eyes instead but to no vain cannot. It feels like there is a force trying to stop me from using my senses, so i give up

'Maybe this what death feels like' i thought to my self

Suddenly my sense to feel slowly comes back, as my back starts to feel cold and wet which seems as if im floating in the water

'Am i in the ocean ?' I thought to my self remembering that theres an ocean near the cliff where my accident takes place

' though if i remember correctly my car hit a truck not went down the clif so why -'

My thoughts where cut off as i feel my body completely went cold and sank deep in the water, i immediately hold my breath while trying to open my eyes and move though to my frustration cannot

Unable to hold my breat much longer i i started to feel my conciousness drifting apart

'So this must be the real thing' i though to my self as my body starts to relax ready to engulf the suffocation feeling called death

" -anna "

'Hmm' I though to my self as my sense of hearing comes back

'I heard something' trying to open my eyes for some reason the suffocating feeling is starting to fade away

'-ianna'

I heard the voice again this time its getting clearer i try to open my eyes and its working altho my sight is not clear yet but i can see reflection of water infront of me

'Arianna'

This time the voice is much clearer

Suddenly a warm feeling embrace my hands sending electricity in my whole body

Altho i still cant move but i can feel that someone is pulling me up

'Is this rescue ? Am i not dead yet ?' i thought to my self as i feel my body being pulled out at the bottom of the water

Giving my all i tried to open my eyes again to see who is my savior, who knows it might be a young handsome man

'Arianna help me' said by a soft voice of a girl this time its loud and clear as my body leave the water

Altho im quite disappointed as its a girl but nonetheless thankful knowing someone is helping me but why is she asking me for help when im the one who badly needs it lol

Energy enters my body as i open my eyes and inhale a large amount of air which my lungs been missing

"Lady Arianna !" Said by a girl beside her

I hold my head as i feel small pain enter my brain

"Ughhh where am i" i asked as my blurry sight starts to adjust with my surroundings seeing an unfamiliar room and people one is the girl who just mentioned my name a few moments ago, she have a long black hair and a pretty face partnered with big amber eyes altho shes pretty i can see that shes a maid base on her attiremaid, same to the other 2 girls they are both maid aswell but the woman with black hair uniform is much more detailed than the two so you can see her position is of higher than the young ladies, on my left side are two woman one at her 40s, looking at her appearance altho shes wearing a weird clothes i can clearly tell that shes a doctor from her stethoscope and the femlae besides her is probably her assistant

"Lady Arianna we are in one of the mansions of Marquirias outside the country of Azlaac" said by the other maid with short brown hair and brown eyes

'Huh what is she talking about ? Marquirias are they the people who saved me ? Azlaac ? Is it a country near US ? But i memorized all the names of the country in US i never heard a country nor city called Azlaac. Did i get swept away by the ocean to another country that no one discover yet but thats impossible' trains of thoughts flooded my mind, theres are so many questions i wanna ask that i dont know where to start, suddenly my thoughts where cut off by one of the maids

" My lady you need to start please PUSH !"

"Huh ?" I asked wondering what us she talking about, do i need to push a button or something?

"PUSSSSSHHH"

"What do you- "Suddenly a killing pain that i never experienced even after the accident enters my body

"ARGGGGGGGGGGGG" I shouted as my whole body fell in an immense pain but the most painful part is my abdomen which feels like being ripped apart by a thousand knives

"Get ready ! The baby is coming please young lady push !" Said by the doctor

'Huh w-wait baby ??' I watched in shock as i look at my huge belly that i never noticed a few minutes ago

'Did i got raped ? But it takes 7 or 8 months to give birth, am i unconcious for a year ? If so then who is the darned father !' My thoughts where cut off as another wave of pain struck my body, every part of my body are in immense pain from toe to my head it feels like the only part of my body that doesn't hurt are my hair

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !" I shouted in horror and at the same time cause of pain as i feel something wanna come out from me

After 40 minutes of labour and pushing a feeling of relief that i never felt since born enters my body as i released the baby which fill the room with its cries

"My lady its a boy !" said by the assistant nurse as she place the baby beside me so i can have a look

Still confused by the happenings none the less i take a glance at the baby and was awestruck

Its a beautiful chubby baby boy with beautiful pair onyx hair for a glance it looks bluish but maybe my eye sight is still blurry, to think that something this beautiful came out from me, i suddenly feel a special attachment with the infant and wanna hold it though my thoughts are stopping me.

'Can i really hold him ? Well he did came out from me that means im his mommy but its still weird' though im still a ****** even after the accident, am i the chosen one? ' I thought as i contemplate about the happenings, i stare once again at the delicate face of the baby which ill soon call son and watched as the little one yawn cutely like a cat, seeing the innocent boy i cant help but smile and brushed away my negative thoughts, who ever the father it doesnt matter he came out from me that means he is mine, i touched his little hand which immediately grab my finger giving me a foreign feeling, wanting to hold the child i gave the nurse a look saying 'assist me please' however another wave of pain enter my body resembling the first pain i experience but this time its not as painful as it was before

'Dont tell me im having a twins ?!' I thought to my self

"Oh my bless the Marquirias Family it seems youre having twins !" Said by the head nurse blurting out my thoughts

Immediately she asked the maids to get another set of necessary things for the baby

Again i push but this time it didnt take so long like the first one, after a few moments another loud cry filled the room

I could hear the gasp of the people inside and immediately open my eyes

'Is there something wrong with my baby ' i thought to my self worried whether there are complications, i heard it cry so definitely its alive

"My lady its a boy aswell ! You have a set of beautiful twins of boys!" Said by the head nurse as she place the baby on my other side

I immediately look at the baby and examine him afraid that there might be complications though was greated by unexpectedly thick strand of Gold Hair altho their hair are quite opposite their face are exactly the same

'Are these really my babies but why arent they exactly the same ?' I thought to my self as i look at the nurse

"This is quite shocking aswell young lady but base on my examination both are perfectly healthy altho they are twins it seems theres a distinct features from each other, base on my knowledge we call this fraternal twins where in both where born as twins but differs in looks"

Suddenly the second baby cry not knowing what to do the head nurse lift the baby and place him beside me

"Go on my lady hold him i think he wanna meet you" she said with a small smile

I extended my arm reaching for the baby for some reason my arms seems shorter than the last time and when did i get such a smooth milky skin this feels odd

As i hold the baby surprisingly it immediately stop crying and went back to sleep, i heard squeals and cries at my back only to see the maids eyeing the first baby who is sleeping calmly now that i see him clearly his hair really has a tint of blue, is this for real ?

The first baby suddenly cry out of nowhere making the nurse laugh

"It seems this little master is jealous my lady please hold him aswell" said by the nurse making the maids laugh in awe

Wondering why they keep calling me lady nonetheless i nod and take the crying baby which immediately stop like the other one

'Is this what they call special bond between mothers and their babies' i thought as i smile at the two angles infront of me

"My lady im so happy to see you safe and healthy together with the young masters, your father will be coming soon so please rest" said by the maid

My thoughts where cut off as i shockingly look at the maid infront of me

'Father? I have a father ? What is happening?'

I look at her in confusion which she return with the same confused gaze

"Father ? What do you mean father ? I dont have parents anymore" i said which shock the people inside

"Miss ! Please dont say that ! Altho the Duke is quite disappointed at you we all know how much he cares for you" said by the maid with long black hair in panic

"Excuse me miss but i dont know what youre saying my parents died 25 years ago, and who are you people ?"

'I been meaning to ask this since i wake up but cause im unexpectedly giving birth im not able to bring up this topic but now that i regain some of my energy i could get the necessary informations i needed and get the shit outta here' with my babies'

I look at the maid with firm gaze same as how i look at my employees whenever i ask them about their sales but unexpectedly they are all more shock than i am

"Doctor what is happening with our young miss, why is she acting like this" asked by one of the maids with short brown hair who is at the verge or crying

The said doctor is quite confused aswell and look at me

Seeing that i wont get any information from any of them i sight and look at the maid with black hair

"Can i borrow your Cellphone?" I asked

"Pardon young miss what is Shell foam ?"

"I said Cellphone Ms. If you dont have any then telephone will do" i asked which where returned by another weird gaze

Seeing no one seems gonna answer my question i scan the room and look for a telephone and realize how different it where compare to a hospital more likely it looks like a old European style mansion base on the detailed interiors of the wall and the door surprisingly its kinda beautiful despite its lack of appliances

'The owner probably is an old rich man or woman'

I look at the possible places where the phone could be placed but cant find any, the last thing i havent scan is the drawer with a mirror, deciding that its best to check i look at one of the maid which seems to be in daze

"Can i go to that drawer?" I asked pointing a finger at the said thing

"But young miss youre still recovering from your wounds!" Said by the doctor

"Its alright doc" i said with a smile as i place the two sleeping babies beside me

The maids help me to stand and walk towards the drawer however the moment i faced the mirror shock the hell out of me

I stopped from walking and look in horror as i stare at an unfamiliar young face which supposed to be me

It was a face of a beautiful young girl with long blond hair and clear crystal green eyes, skin as white as snow and face as young as a teenager by the looks of it it seems its around 15 to 17 yrs old

'What the hell is happening' i thought to my self as i continously stare at the mirror with mixed emotions moving my hands confirming wether its really me in the mirror surprisingly it did every hand signs i did from peace sign to middle finger sign

"Young Miss what are you doing ?" Asked by the maid

"W-who is that girl?" I asked pointing a finger at the mirror altho i confirmed already that its indeed me its better to take others opinion for confirmation

The maid look as shock as me as if im asking wether the sun is blue

"Young Miss ! Its you ! How can you forget your self"

The doctor immediately run to us and look at me in shock

"Young Miss can you please tell me whats my name?" Asked by the doctor

I look at her as if shes an alien

"Why are you asking me am i your mother?" I asked in panic the doctor seems shock as she take a step back

"How about me young miss who am i ?" Asked by the maid with brown hair

"I dont know you"

"Young miss how about -"

"Stop asking me what are your names, im not mothers !" I shouted as I look at them with wide eye

Suddenly my head throb and sight becomes dark as my body collapsed in the floor

I could hear the people shouting my name but my senses slowly drifted apart

______

"Arianna .. wake up"

Automatically my eyes open upon hearing the voice, its the same voice who call for me when i was drowning, i scan my surroundings and realize im surrounded by eternal pitch black void

"Where the hell am i?" I asked looking for someone around me

"Youre in my body" said by a girl who suddenly appear infront of me

Shock by her sudden appearance i step back startle at the young lady

Looking at her shes the same girl i saw in the mirror a few minutes ago, seeing her face clearly made me realize how beautiful she is her long blond curly gold locks shine brightly despite being in this black void iluminating our surroundings like some bad *** bitch, long thick lashes that surrounds her crytal clear green eyes that will make every jade stone in china look fake shes like a doll, every features of her seems carefully crafted by Gods

'How hateful her beauty will definitely make every Hollywood actress envious' i thought thinking how unfair God is to have favoritism

"Thank you so much but what is Hollywood actress" said by the doll like girl as she smile with her angelic face

"Well they are those bitches who- wait how can you tell what im thinking" i asked shock and at the same time scared

"I told you youre in my body Ms. Arianna" said by the girl who smile as if what shes saying makes sense

"Huh ? What do you mean im in your body ? I have my own body girl altho its not as pretty as yours but i have a proud 36D" i said with pride

"But your soul already resides in my body, remember the accident ?"

Suddenly the car accident flash back to me

"So youre saying i died and im in your body ?" I asked thinking where did the logic hide at times like this

"Yes and maybe or maybe not"

"But how did this happened and if im in your body then where are you ?"

"Im dead .." she said with a sad smile

Sad and at the same time confused she seems to know what im thinking again as she gave me those ultra beam smile again that could make someone eye go blind from the brightness

"Well Ms. Arinna to be honest i am not sure aswell but base on my observation it seems we both live in a different dimension, the universe is surrounded by different kinds of worlds and each worlds have their own copy, in my case my name is Arianna La folia De Marquirias i am the Arianna version of this world and in your world youre the Arianna version"

"So youre saying like in every world there are people who have the same name and they are the same but just live in a different dimension?"

"Not exactly, but it seems like our souls have the same core even i am confused, but one thing is for sure we are not the only arianna in this universe there are hundreds or probably millions of people that share the same soul like ours"

"I see so does it mean whenever someone died shit like this happenes ? I always thought its either we'll go to heaven or hell"

"Well Ms.Arianna our situation is quite different its like a once in a millennium happening, souls with same structure who died at the same time have a chance to be resurrected on either of their body tho in this matter both should have regrets after they died, who ever have the strongest soul occupy the body of the most suitable vessel while the weaker completely perished, i believe you can still go back to your body if its still alive but it seems like my body is more convenient meaning its either your body is dead or its unable to be occupied by your soul"

"Saying it like this does that mean ..."

"Yes im dead and you have my body"

Looking at the girl who smile genuinely despite her death how can someone as young as her be this mature, if it was my 15 years old self i might have been whining already

"You said there are regrets when we both died, may I know what is yours and if theres something you want me to fulfill in your stead ?"

The girl looks taken a back she look at me blinking twice as tears starts to run from her crystal jade eyes

"If its not too much to ask may i request for you to think the face of my baby" she ask as she gave a sad smile

Despite being a single for 35 years, i can feel the pain of this child as a mother who cannot see her babies anymore for some reason i felt bad, between the both of us why does it has to be me the one who have nothing to lose keeps to live while she a mother of a twins and a daughter of a living parent have to died

Giving her a nod and sad smile i close my eyes as i think of the most wonderful beings i ever met

'This is your first baby, he have a onxy black hair that looks abit bluish and skin as white as snow like yours altho he seems to be a cool baby at the outside but a jelly beans on the inside' i thought to my self as i imagine the beautiful baby boy the moment i see him feeling a light energy enter my mind i hear her giggles in my head soft and clear like an innocent child, the next is your second baby

'Oh my i have a twins ?' Said by the young girl softly shock and at the same time happy

'Im quite surprise that you dont know but yes you have, this is him' i said as i recall the second baby

'His hair glows brightly like yours hes kinda clingy to be honest the moment he came out he wanna hug his mommy already i have a feeling that he will be a sweet child'

'Thats for sure they both are a healthy child im so happy that im able to see them, this memories ill carry it with me to the next life' she said with happiness and contempt

I open my eyes and look at her smiling face as her body shone brightly, as if watching some live fairytale movies her body slowlyly emitted gold glitters as if every particles of her body are leaving

"Thank you Ms.Arianna to be able to talk with someone like you makes me wish to have a big sister like you in my next life, please look after my family and child my only wish is for you to continue living in behalf of me altho my life is a little complicated i believe that with you you'll be able to do better than me" she said as her body turning transparent

"W-wait ! Before you go tell me what name do you want me to call your child"

The young girl pause and look at me then smile

"Hmmm please call the first born as Adrian and the second born as Aldrin and they are not only my child they are our children" she said as her smile fade and became glitters of light

I look at the light with a sad smille as i nod

"Rest assured ill take care of our children " i said as i stare at the light which are slowly fading suddenly a small particles envelope me giving me a flash back of her memories.

*Arianna's Memories*

I watch as 5 years old Arianna wearing a cute blue dress with yellow lining run around their garden chasing a white butterfly, her laugh echoed as she continously run while maids and servants followed her nervously shouting to be careful.

I laugh at seeing how cute this child was, she really looks like a living doll she's even more charming when she was a kid.

*While running, the child enter a maze like garden, like a expert she turns to different directions leading to the center where in a large circle like space and a fountain with waiting shed at its side, there a beautiful woman with Long Gold locks wearing a light blue dress sitting inside the waiting shed.

the woman seems to noticed arianna as she look at her direction and smile, tapping her lap a sign to* sit.

The little arianna beam and shouted mommy as she run and jump towards the beautiful lady, suddenly a handsome hot man unexpectedly went towards them and kiss the lady while lifting the little arianna in her lap followed by two little boys age from 7 to 10 years old, the little boy have a pale blond hair and crystal blue eyes while the older one have a platinum white hair and green eyes

'Damn thats a one hell of drop dead gorgeous family you have Arianna" i said while watching their beautiful happy family with a smile

Suddenly the memories dissapeared and a new one appear this time it was Ariannas 7th Birthday she and her siblings together with her mother are celebrating her special day.

"Happy Birthday my princess what is your birthday wish?" Asked by her beloved mother while kissing her cheeks

Arianna look at the ceiling as if thinking and jump at her mothers lap.

"I wish for Airi to spend more time with mother !" Said by arianna while snuggling at her mother.

"What about your brother Airi dont you want to spend time with me too ?" Ask by her second brother with a cute pout who is now 9 years old.

"Ofcourse Airi want spend more time with brother Ariel and brother Arlan too !" Shouted by arianna as she jump from her mother and hug her second brother which was happily accepted by the young boy.

"Awwwweee I love you airi youre the cutest of all ! Please marry brother when you grow up" said by the innocent child as he hug the little one tightly, suddenly a loud smack connect to his head making the young boy cry in pain.

"Ouch ! Whats your problem Arlan ! Wanna fight me ?!".

"Thats for suffocating my beloved Airi" said by the older brother who is now 12 as he lift the small girl before giving another smack at the younger brother.

"Ouch ! What is that for !".

"Thats for thinking you could marry Airi when youre merely a monkey, by the way happy birthday my princess heres your gift" said by the older brother ignoring the tantrums of his younger brother placing a small box neatly wrapped in her litte hands.

"Thank you brother airi is so happy ! What is this ?".

"Open it and youll see" he said as he smile genuinely.

"Airi Airi brother have a gift for you aswell! Look look !" Said by Ariel as he take something from his pocket wrapped in some papers.

"Whats that a trash? Heh" teased by the older brother mocking at his younger brother.

"B-brother...."

"Shut your mouth you Ghost!".

"Uhh ... Brothers please dont fight .."

"What did you say you ugly monkey ?!"

"B-bro-"

A loud smack was heard as fist connect at the two young mens head, they cry in pain as they slowly look at their back only to be faced by their father glaring draggers to the both of them.

"I said mind your manners when youre speaking infront of Airi, did you forgot my warning" said by their father as he gave them a chilling glare that makes even my skin get goosebumps.

The two young man run towards their mother shaking in horror as they hide behind her as if shes a shield that cannot be pierced by anyone.

"AAACK Mommy save me !" Shout by the two in harmony as of they hug the back of their mother who chuckle at the cuteness of her son.

"Haha you two should apologize to airi and place your gift at the table so she can open it" said by their mother as she pat their head gently earning a nod but still hostile at the sudden appearance of their father.

Their mother went to their father and take off his coat giving him a peck on the cheeks.

"Welcome home honey im glad you made it in time before the candle blow" said by arianna's mother as she put his coat somewhere.

The handsome father smile and kiss his wife on her forehead and look at his daughter who innocently look at them.

"Darn this parents dont they know what SPG is" i said hoping that theres a popcorn and some coke.

The father squat infront of his daughter as if trying to make their height even, he pat her small head and smile gently as he reached a long rectangular box from his back.

"How could i missed this princess birthday, God will punish me if i do" he said as he give the long rectangular box to his daughter which in return was rewarded by a cute hug from the beloved child.

"Thank you so much daddy airi love daddy the most" she said as she hug tightly at her father's neck

The said father lift his daughter and look at his two sons with a mocking smile saying "You think you can beat me ? You have a long way to run before you can take airi from me" look

The two sons look at their father with in envy and fury as they run to their mother defeated

"There there, lets start the party i prepared alot of foods for everyone, Claire can you please bring the foods here ? Also please ask the servants to come inside and join us"

"Roger Madam" said by the maid named clair which is the same black haired girl maid with me in the hospital although she looks younger here around 17 years old but i could recognize her cause of her unique amber eyes

"I guess shes been serving their family for ages huh"

I watched as their family happily enjoy the party, its good to see that this family treat everyone equally unlike other rich people who think all about money and fame

After a few minutes of preparation everything where done from foods drinks and cake

The young girl eyes sparkle as she eye the big cake with lots of candles

"Go blow the candle and make a wish airi" said by her father

The said girl nodded and close her eyes

"Airi wish to spend more time with family and everyone" said by the little girl making people squeel in awe just when shes about to blow the candle, the main door burst open throwing 2 wounded people inside

"MASTER RUUUUU- !" Shout by one of the guy who got thrown from the door however his words where cut off as an arrow hit his head killing the guy instantly

"WHAT THE HECK !" I shout as i watched a group of 25 people wearing a dark green cloak and silver mask, even though im not from this world i could clearly tell that they are not here to join the party

"Take the duchess and her kids if they resist kill them and bring their head, you know what to do with the rest" said by one of the guys with gold mask

"YES" respond by the goons in synchronized

"I wont let you !" shout by the Arianna's father as he charge to the leader with his sword

"Marquirias Castle will not fall easily !" Shout by the head butler as the servants and maids grab any tools that they can use to fight however i can see clearly who are at the disadvantage and its more likely the servants are trying to delay the intruder instead of fighting them knowing the outcome of their death

"PROTECT THE YOUNG MASTERS AND ROYAL DUCHESS!" Shout by one of the servants as they charge to the enemy

"HIYAAAAAAAAAA"

"Quickly Claire, Jule take Marianne and kids away from here"

"HONEY what about you ?!"

"I'll stay here and delay the intruder, i oath to your father in the name of my sword that ill protect you and the children with my life!

"Father I-I'll fight !" Said by Arlan the older brother as he take the knife thats supposed to cut the cake

"Arlan No !" Shout by the duchess as she hug her beloved son

"B-but mother I-"

"ARLAN!" Shout by his father as he continously fight the intruder

"This is your first mission as a knight no this is my favor as your Father and a Knight ! Escort your mother and siblings outside, once youre out of the mansion fire this flare" he said as he tossed a rectangular round object at his sons direction

"Father.."

"Im counting on you ! Whats your answer !"

"Y-YES FATHER!" Shouted by the eldest son tears running down from his face as he grab his younger brother and mother who is carrying a clueless arianna

"Honey !"

"..."

"I'll see you later" said by the Dutchess as tears running down from her eyes

"Daddy?" Said by Arianna as she look at his father innocently

The said man look at his wife and childrens departing figure and pray to have mercy on his family

"What a heartbreaking words, though i doubt if you can still see them after this" said by the masked man

"Dead man should not talked" said by the duke as he forced an opening and stab the masked mans shoulder pinning him down on the floor

"Hahahaha youre speaking for your self?"

"NOOOOOOO" I Shouted as i tried to push ariannas father however like those scenes i saw in movies, i just went through to his body like a ghost

"**** !" I shout as i watched the man get pierced by an arrow connecting to his body making him kneel down on the floor

"Damn damn damn !" I cursed as tears run down from my eyes

Even though this guy is not my real father but for some reason theres a connection that lingers from my heart with him, watching him died here feels like watching my own parents die for the second time, the suffocating feeling is surreal that i could hear my own heart beat

"Its poisoned..." he said as he removed the arrow from his back and tried to stand up but failed to

"MASTER !" Shout by one of the servants as he charged to the masked man but died cruelly as his throat got slit cleanly

I felt like vomiting from the sight of the blood and dead bodies of the servants and maids on every corner of the mansion, the once cozy warm happy family is being slaughtered infront of me and the only thing i could do is watched like some kind of spectator, i feel so nauseous i feel so useless so powerless as i kneel beside ariannas father

"Dont worry Grand Duke youre not gonna die, the poison is not deadly it will only weaken your body making you unable to move for a while" said by the masked man as he step at the wounded back of the Duke making him cry in pain

"Do anything you want to me but PLEASE spare my wife and children!"

An eerie laugh from the masked man echoed at the mansion as he continously step at the dukes wouded back, never did i feel so disgusted at someones laugh till now, to kill people as if they are nothing and laugh, what kind of people are they who the hell they are and why are they doing this, of all the people why does it has to be them

"To think that the Silver Demon of the Azlaac kingdom beg infront of me, its such a pleasure that i think i dont mind dying at this moment" he said as he stepped again at the back of the bleeding man

"However, im afraid that i cant promise you anything" he grab the dukes head as he forced him to look at him

"You see duke we need the head of your family"

"Why ?!"

"Why ? To start a war ofcourse" he said amusingly as he left the dukes body and went to the door which arianna and his brothers enter

"Dont tell me ! Youre using this as an excuse to make Verta and Azlaac go into another war !"

"Ofcourse or else what ? Ma. Rianna Mariz De Castillo, Sole child of Emperor Clemente III of Verta, supposedly the successor of the throne however she fall in love and marry a Duke from a different country bringing Peace between the two empire, hahaha who doesnt know this story? Bringing two countries at war in peace in the name of love ? Absurd right ? Nonetheless you guys still manage to pull it out !"

"Rest assured, ill return the bodies except the head" he said with a smile on his face although it was covered by a mask i know and i can feel that this ruthless killer is smiling and enjoying the scene

"Cursed you ! " said by the duke as he passed out

The place become blurry, suddenly i was transported into another place where i can see arianna and her mother and brother running towards the corridors going to the garden

"Mommy what is happening? Why are we leaving? What about daddy ?" Asked by arianna as she clutched to her mothers neck

"S-sweety daddy is taking care of something, he'll be back later" said by the mother as she hug the back of her daughter tightly trying to stop her self from breaking out into tears, she look at her two sons who are equally crying holding each others hand while running

I could feel that my heart is slowly breaking watching this family run for their lives, despite an outside of their family, its too painful to see this mother and her child experience such devastating event

"Sweety can you do me a favor, please dont open your eyes until i said so"

"Why ?"

"C-cause mommy have a special present for you and its a surprise so i dont want airi to peek untill its finished"

The child seems confused but nonetheless nod and smile

"If thats what mommy said then airi will do !" Said by the child as she happily hug her mom excited regarding this gift shes talking

Suddenly two masked man appear blocking their way

"Jules!" Shout by clair as she hide the two boys behind her.

The said knight nod and swiftly killed the two masked man

"Young master please dont look" said by jules to the two young boy as he tried to hide the corps

Suddenly Ariel run to the corpse and do the unexpected thing, he took the masked man sword with shaky hands trying to ignore the bloody body

"I .. I will protect mommy and Airi l-like what Arlan will ! I-im not a coward !" Said by the young child as he shakily tried to hold the heavy sword making the maid and duchess cry

I watched as Arlan walk to his brother and take the sword patting the younger boys head, he wipe his tears as blazing determination was replaced in his eyes

"Im the older brother ofcourse im the one wholl protect you mother and airi, youre still a monkey so dont hold this sword unless you can lift it" he said as he pat his back

"Lets go we are almost at the garden i need to fire this flare" the people nodded and continue what they are doing

Seeing this two innocent boys immediately grow up thorn my heart, a few minutes ago they are just an innocent boys thinking of marrying their sister, to grow this fast while holding a sword, taking responsibility called protection getting their eyes forced to see what death was, seeing all those maids and servants who take care of them since birth get slaughtered, having no assurance whether they can still see their father who left to fight a dozen of enemies alone, this is just too much to process, i always thought that i am an unfortunate child but now seeing arianna and her family being followed by death makes me more guilty knowing that between us it was me who got the chance to live a second life

After a few moments of running they reached the maze garden and there Arlan fire the flare signal making the night sky change into a wide color of red

"This is an emergency signal bestow to captains and generals, yellow means safe, blue means successful battle, green means danger, and red means immediately help, we only need to hide until enforcement from Death Knights come" said by jules

"Brother !" Shout by ariel as he point a finger at their back where in 6 masked man where running towards them

"The duchess and her children are here !" Said by the masked man

"Jules take Ariel, Clair take Arlan, theres a hidden chamber under the fountain lets meet there, my two sons know the way theyll lead" said by the duchess as she hold her daughter tightly

"But madam how about you" asked by clair in worry

"Ill be fine i know the maze well, its best if we split up than get caught at once, Ariel and Arlan please be careful im sorry that its not me who have to go to with you" said by the mother as she hug both of her son and kiss their head

Tears run down to the both boys as they hug back

"Its alright mom you have to take care !" Said ariel as he hug his mother and sister

"Thats true, please keep safe mom we will meet the both of you at the center" said by arlan as he gave his mom a tight hug and pat ariannas head who is surprisingly sleeping

With that the three of them went in separate ways inside the maze

The location suddenly went blurred like before as i was transferred inside the maze where i can see Arianna's mom running followed by two masked men, i realize that this is the same maze garden i saw from her past however this time it seems the flowers are blooming as i see lots of white rose around, focusing on whats important i watched as Arianna's mother did some turns trying to lose the two hooligan however after she turn right she was greated by another set of 2 hooligans who tried to chase her, after some moments of running she reached the open field which is the center of the garden where a fountain is located, scanning the surroundings she look for a sign regarding to her sons sadly theres none it seems like they are still inside the maze

"Ariel, Arlan please be safe everyone" said by the duchess out loud

"Stop worrying about someone when you have to worry about your self My Princess "

I watched in wide eye as i see the same masked man who fight with the duke

"Why is he here !" I said as i try to hold the duchess and arianna but got the same result as i tried to push the duke

"You have to run please run !" I shouted even though i know they cant hear me

However the 3 men already corner her at the fountain

"What do you want from me" asked by the duchess fiercely as she hold arianna tightly which is waking up from her slumber

"Uhmmm mommy is it done ?"

"No sweety kindly stay still and close your eyes" she said as she place her daughter under the big stone fountain in a sitting position, surprisingly there are two draggers attached under the fountain

She ripped her dress and throw her heels as she stand in her fighting stance

"My my, this cat is quite wild" said by the golden masked man as he signal her men to attack

"Dont underestimate a Crown princess from Verta!" She shouted as the two armed men charged towards her, completely blocking their swords using her dragger

Despite this mothers fragile and soft appearance hides a fierce woman who seems to be experienced in war

she made a clean cut to one of the masked man throat as she block the incoming sword trying to connect at her back with her right hand, the golden masked guy which seems to be the leader feels impatient as he charged towards her

with quick movements she immediately change her stance by sitting below avoiding the masked mans sword which hit his subordinate instead of her, seeing an opening she made a low kick which make the man out of balance pinning him down as she broke a finger from his right hand which makes him scream in pain dropping his sword

"WHO ORDER YOU TO ATTACK OUR CASTLE?!" Screamed by the woman as she pointed her dragger in his neck making him bleed a little

The man just laugh as if everything is just a joke

"To think the wife beat me instead of the husband, the Duke must be ashamed of him self" He said

The duchess look at him in shock processing what he said

"What do you mean the duke ?! Where is my Husband?" She screamed stabing his right shoulder which was pierced by the Duke before

This made the mad man scream in pain and laugh

"HAHAHAHA ask your daughter she might know after going to the afterlife"

my eyes completely search for the young Arianna which was standing infront of the fountain looking horrified at the sight of the dead bodies

"M-mommy?" she asked shaking while looking at her mother

My body went cold as a masked man suddenly appear behind her with a sword ready to cut the young girls head

"Behind you !" I screamed even tho i know this is just a fragment of her memories that cant be rewritten

However before the mans sword connect to the girls head a dagger connect to his head making him fall

Arianna look at the dead man behind her in horror, seeing so much blood around her this must be terrifying or traumatizing for a young girl however thinking that everything was over is an insult as after the dead man were arrows heading directly to the young girl

Knowing there's nothing i can do, i close my eyes not wanting to see this beautiful child get hurt. however my attention was caught as i heard her scream

"Mommy !" The young girl scream as she clutch to her mothers dress who is now hugging her small body shielding her from impending attacks

tears run down from my eyes as i saw 5 arrows pierce to her back

"Hi sweety, this is nothing" she said as she caught blood which obviously state shes not

Suddenly the golden masked guy appear behind her with a sword in his left hand

"Did i forgot to say ? I can use sword in both hands" he said as he slice the back of the wounded woman

"NOO !" i shouted tears run down from my eyes, i look at my surroundings and was faced with the same maid i saw while giving birth

"Claire?" I said remembering her name as if its normal, i look at my surroundings and noticed i was in a different room before none the less its still a beautiful one

i look at my side and notice my babies are not with me, panic strike remembering the flashback of young Arianna's past

"My Babies ?! Clair where are my babies ?!" I screamed immediately standing from the bed not minding the pain im feeling from giving birth

"My lady please calm down, the young masters are alright they are in the crib" the maid said as she pointed a finger on a big white crib

Clair helped me walked towards the direction of the babies seeing that my body have not yet fully recovered its energy.

Peacefully sleeping, my heart clenched at the sight, they are beautiful indeed however the real Arianna can never see these childrens

Rubbing the tears from my eyes i took the first born child gently, sleeping innocently having no awareness of what happened to his real mom. I chuckled a little bit as his face frown probably cause i took him while he is sleeping nonetheless it goes back to normal.

"My first child name will be Adrian" I said with pure love and tenderness i never knew i could utter in my entire life, suddenly tears flow down from my eyes remembering the wish of the original owner of the body

'Can I really call them my children?' I thought to my self softly hugging the child feeling guilty of having the opportunity to live

"Yes my lady" Clair said tearing up at the sight of her master as if she knows what she's thinking

Gently putting down my first child, i took the second child, this one is a little heavier making me chuckle a little

"My second child shall be named Aldrin" I said brushing his lovely gold locks

"Yes my- "

Suddenly the door burst open revealing 3 handsome men which seems oddly familiar to me

"Arianna .." Said by the silver haired man which looks to be around his 40s none the less age cant beat his striking good looks.

automatically as if my body recognized the person, tears flow down in my eyes as the word i have never said for years came out of my mouth.

"Father ?" I said, The word feels kinda odd but yet familiar, i guess its probably because of the absorption of Arianna's memories that calling the peoples name here feels as natural as breathing.

The said guy walks towards me, tears running down in his face looking at me and the baby im holding giving me a light hug inorder not to squish the small child in my arms

"Is this your child ? m-my grand child?" he said as his hand shakily touch the head of the sleeping baby

"Yes its my 2nd child, his name is Aldrin" I said with a gentle smile.

"I see your 2nd child looks alot like - wait ? 2nd child? then ..."

"Yes Grand duke, my lady have twins!" Clair said clapping her hands in delight

"Hey look dad i think this is the 1st kid" said by a blond guy around 18 or 19 years old poking the face of her 1st child, his deep ocean blue eyes meet with her crystal green eyes giving her a cheeky smile.

"My Airi its been awhile!" He said with a bright smile

Remembering the flashback of arianna's past she cant be wrong, this is the same kid in the memories she absorbed, his small petite figure was now replaced by a tall young adult man, you can see by his figure that he been undergoing some training or practice for the past years.

A loud smacked was heard as another guy appear a little taller and looks more matured than her younger brother, his platinum silver hair was tied in a small ribbon and his crystal green eyes resemble alot of her.

"You cant treat babies like that you stupid monkey" He said as he looks at the small baby in the crib with a gentle eye, altho he is not smiling arianna can see that he already cares alot for the baby.

His eyes then laid on her with a gentle smile he greet her.

"How are you feeling Airi?" He said

"I-im fine" She said still processing all the handsome men's face with a blush.

The said father walk to the crib and look at his grandchild.

"I-I have two grandchildren.." He said touching the head of the small child which gaved a small yawn

A soft knock on the door was heard as the doctor who helped her gave birth enters the room

"Good afternoon Grand duke, Young master Ariel and Arlan" said by the head nurse as she bow together with her two assistant.

"The young lady needs to take a rest, if you would excuse this old lady, can we please leave the room and let her rest".

"You dont have to be so polite to me Madam Letizia, having you here helping my daughter gave birth is already an honor for our family, to have the Royal Physician of Verta assist Arianna will be a forever debt of our household" the duke said making a small bow as the rest of the maid and the two young masters followed

"You know how important your children's are to me and to the King of Verta" The old woman said as she gave a small wrinkle smile and pat the shoulder of the Duke.

"If its not me who will assist Princess Arianna? my beloved Marianne will be very dissapointed if i do not take care of her children and grandchildren" she said with a bitter smile as she take the baby from Arianna's hand like a gentle grandma and put him down in the crib, assisting the young girl in the bed who follow like a child.

The duke gave a small smile at the mention of his wife, looking at Arianna and her kids one more time he nod and signal his two sons to come with him, before leaving the room the duke look at his daughter and with a gentle voice he called her name.

"Airi ... we wil be just behind this door so you dont have to worry" He said with that he left the room together with her brothers.

"Ahh always dramatic as ever when it comes to his daughter" The old woman said as she touch Arianna's forehead trying to check her temperature.

"Your fever seems gone, for now eat light food and dont push your self to stand, you been sleeping for 2 days so you must regain back your energy and body" She said like a nagging grandma.

Arianna gave a small chuckle and nod, shes used to be the one ordering around rather than being cared of, this is quite a breathe of fresh air.

The old doctor and two nurses left the room leaving Arianna and Clair.

Arianna gave a small breath finally having the opportunity to process everything, looking at her surroundings she wanna make more observation however her body seems screaming rest, slowly she closed her eyes hoping that this time will be a better dream.
