Chapter 2: Another World

Tiara suddenly woke up in an empty corridor. Still in a completely unharmed condition, it made her confused about what was happening to her at this time. She still remembered the last thing that happened to her was being killed by that young man on the bridge until she drowned in the river. Then, now how did she survive? Is there anyone to save her now?

Besides there was no one here, this corridor was only lit by a few lights. Tiara was still trying to figure out what this place was and how she could escape death? Could this place be hell?

She slowly raised her body and walked along the corridor. While walking, she strangely did not feel her head dizzy or her body exhausted.

"What is this place exactly?"

The appearance of a light at the end of the corridor made Tiara want to be free from this strange place immediately. She ran full speed toward the source of the light, eventually ending up in a server room.

Tiara looked around the server room with a glaring gaze. Especially reading an inscription written on a big screen in front of her.

"If you want to return to the original world, then you must conquer the heart of the antagonist character. Make that character a good character."

What did this mean? An antagonistic character? Why did he feel like he was in another world? Was this just a dream? I wanted to wake up quickly from this strange dream world and choose to end up in hell instead. Tiara tried to feel all the tools in the server room to free her.

"Wake up, my daughter!"

Tiara quickly opened her eyes wide at the sound of someone shouting in her ear. However, what was this place? While the surroundings looked much more luxurious than her room, this place was very unfamiliar.

Her eyes then fell on a middle-aged woman who looked like her biological mother. However, his biological mother had actually died several years ago, so who was the woman who woke him up now? Why could there be a middle-aged woman figure very similar to his mother? Is it true that this place is heaven or hell?

"Mom?" asked Tiara nervously.

The middle-aged woman rolled her eyes and ruffled her waist. "Yes, I am your mother!"

Tiara's eyes glazed over knowing that her biological mother was still alive. Her right hand stroked her mother's soft cheek, still warm, even though the last time it was cold and stiff when she died.

"It turns out that mom is still alive. Thank goodness."

"Apparently you're still dreaming! Of course I'm alive! This is because you slept too long!" The mother hit her daughter's hand.

"But... how can you be alive? Then, where is this? When did my room become this luxurious?"

"You'd better wash your face first. You should be taught a lesson for waking up late today. You have to meet your fiancé later."

Tiara raised her right eyebrow. "My fiancé? Who?" For a moment Tiara thought, if her biological mother was still alive, would her husband also be alive in this world? "Linnon is still alive?"

Hearing that name made her mother frown. "Who is Linnon? Are you having a strange dream again?"

"In that case, who is my fiancé, ma'am?"

"Who else but Duke Harris!"

Wait a minute! Wasn't that the name of the main protagonist in the novel she was reading? Before her husband died, Tiara liked to read online novels written by her own husband. However, since he died, she couldn't finish the novel. If so, is she really out of her mind now? How could she enter a novel that had not yet been finished?

The mother narrowed her eyes. "But, why did you suddenly bring up that I'm dead? Could it be that your dream was that I was dead?"

It was more likely that it was true that her mother had died. However, it was impossible for Tiara to tell her mother the truth in this world. Maybe she would be locked up in a mental hospital forever.

"It's okay, Mom. It was just a dream. People usually say that dreams are the opposite of reality." Claudia hugged her mother's body affectionately. "You will definitely live a long life in this world."

"Come on, I don't want to bother you anymore. You should just rest today before you really go crazy."

When her mother left her alone, Tiara moved quickly to find out what kind of place this was. She tried to find a cell phone in the drawer of the bedside table. Then, she finally found a cell phone and opened the one that didn't have a password.

The first thing she did was look at the list of contact names on her cell phone. At the sight of these names, Tiara gasped and the phone almost fell to the floor. Especially when reading all the chats on this phone, everyone calls her by a familiar name.

"I'm really trapped in that novel world. I'm... Lady Claudia?"

Knock...knock...

A maid entered the luxurious room carrying a tray with a glass of water. Tiara's reaction was stunned to see that the maid was her best friend in real life. She tried to remember whose name her best friend was in the novel. Was the woman's name Sarah who was Claudia's housekeeper and personal secretary?

"You're... Sarah, right?"

With a worried look, Sarah touched her employer's forehead. "Your mother said you weren't feeling well. Are you really sick? Why were you questioning my name just now?"
