The scorching sun illuminated the room equipped with a respiratory and medical monitor, a beep was heard every few seconds, fresh roses were placed on the table stand next to the bed. The smell of fresh roses pervaded the patient's room.
Helena opened her eyes slowly holding back the glare. She stared at the ceiling above which was decorated with crown molding, almost similar like one in the palace of the king of England.
'It seems that the hell I went into wasn't as bad as I thought' she uttered to herself, her eyes glancing the decorations of the room and nodded in satisfaction, perhaps those bad guys she killed does give her the benefit of the doubt between heaven and hell. She held her head that is covered in gauzed, her eyes widen thinking, wasn't her neck was supposed to be bandaged? why does the gauzed on her head instead? but who would have thought, perhaps things are run differently in the afterlife.
She lift her self with an elbow to push her for support and leaned her back on the headboard while inspecting herself, she saw bruises on her legs and frowned..
'they really do mimicking the real life in the earth, even the pain is almost real'
The door was opened as Helena was in a deep thought, the foot steps stopped when Helena turned her place face looking at the man standing in front of her.
"Who are you? are you from the heaven or the hell side?" Helena asked wanting to know if the man wearing a similar uniform as those professional butler came to serves her or punish her.
The old man was a little startled by her question.
"Young Madam, it is me, Butler Kim" he bowed, with a puzzled mind. He raised his head to observe of the Young Madam in front of him, her eyes is watching him without any acknowledgement of the familiar feeling.
He gasped!! covering his mouth, something crossed his mind and he ran out to retrieve an attending physicians.
Helena that was sitting on the bed grew more astonished by the old man reaction, this after life is peculiar, not like anything she has imagined.
The running foot steps outside was heard, a sound of a trolley wheeled is approaching the room she is currently at, the door was opened and men in scrubs with a statoscope hanging on their neck came forward with nurses holding a clipboard anxiously waiting for the doctors.
"Mrs. Anderson, do you remember anything?" one of the doctor asked her while his hand holding a small flashlight and flashing it on her eyes.
Helena nodded, impressed by the after life,vwait Mrs. Anderson? whatever... it does resembles a lot like a life in the real world, before she answered the question, the atmosphere in the room turned a little cold, a strong aura can be felt filling the surrounding of the space.
A man clad in a navy blue suit that is un buttoned exposing a neat navy blue vest inside walking in the room with his hands in his pocket. His hair is neatly combed to the back, his strong jaw and high bridge nose complimenting each other to form a perfectly asymmetric facial feature. Like Ares the god of war, this man possesses the power to make anyone cower to his present.
Helena saw the familiar and chuckled.
"Wow, the universe is surely creating a good hell loop for me" she laughed alone while everyone watching her with their back upright and holding their breathe. Beads of sweats forming and it is dripping on each of their back seeing Helena amusement after seeing Daniel Anderson standing before her.
She wiped her tears under her eyes satisfied with her reactions and releasing her hand from her stomach.
Daniel's eye twitch seeing the supposedly 'noble and gentle' Helena Lee laughed unrestrained. His face darkened as he looked at the doctor that struggles to perform a check up on Helena.
They concluded that she might be experiencing a head trauma from the fall that resulted in a memory loss, it will be either temporary or long term, those are the result they cant conclude as of now, not until a neurologist examining her more thoroughly.
Helena paused for a second upon hearing the word "memory loss", then a series of thoughts came rushing to her like a violent waves comes crashing the shore. Her ghastly pale face was seen by Daniel that stood there observing her little movement. He looked at Helena and noticed her different persona. The quiet room echoed with a sound of a phone ringing,
Daniel took his phone out of his suit jacket pocket and glanced at the caller.
"Dear wife, i have urgent matters to attend, rest well" He uttered with a neutral expressions, no love or disdain. Just like an acquaintance.
Helena still sat in a dazed as the memory of the dark place creeped in to her. She is reincarnated, not in a past or future, but to the parallel world. she has no memory recollections of this Helena's life but one thing she knows now that she is
DANIEL ANDERSON'S WIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Helena was exhausted after the neuropsychological test was performed on her, it was a long 4 hours of her life just to go through series of questions from the neuropsychologist and the psychometrist, adding with the CT scan and MRI she has to undergo, she finally comes to term she is reincarnated into the parallel world, like a mirror to her previous world, only this life is different. Who would have expect she is Daniel's wife, a contract one as well, she needs to dig deeper into this 'Helena' life, will there be Lorenzo, Daryl, Raymond, Steve or Popeye in this world as well? or even the cabal? she didn't know, but she will find out about it.
She placed her palm on her forehead thinking of the horrible attitude she always gave Lorenzo growing up and defying him constantly, a guilty feeling started to form, her thoughts was disrupted by a sound of a cartoon child like singing "Moon Pride", it is a Japanese song, she recognized it since she spoke so many foreign languages courtesy of The Cabal, at least her previous skills still intact in this life but where is the sound comes from.
She got off the bed and searched for the song direction and saw a pink touch screen phone covered in a bedazzled glitter with a fluffy ball Sailor Moon key chain hooked on the case, her eyes widen 'oh god nooo, dont tell me this is my phone! pink? this world has sailor moon too?' .
Her face fell when she confirm it is indeed her phone, she saw the caller ID "mom", her mom is alive in this world?, she quickly picked up the phone call, anxious to speak to her mother.
"Hello...." she uttered gently, nervous to hear her mom's voice for the first time.
"Where are you??? i tried calling you for few days now!!! when are you going to take your sister to the Anderson's manor to introduce her to the Anderson's family??" a shrieking voice of a woman was loud like a thunder booming, her tone was full of disdain and mockery, Helena face darkened as she recognized the voice, it is none other than Lorraine Lee. Wait until she gets her hand on Francesca for stabbing her on the neck.
This world is truly different.. she realized she is supposed to be experiencing a memory loss.
"Who are you?" she asked making an annoyed face that only her is aware of.
"How dare you!! you ungrateful b*tch!!!! do you think you are something now that you are married to the Anderson family!! if it wasn't for that stupid Lorenzo, you are nothing!! nothing!!!!!" she screamed making Helena moved the phone away from her ear. She cant stand this any longer and hang up.
Lorraine face twisted in anger, she threw the vase near her and smashed it to the floor, she had been trying to reach Helena for few days but to no avail, gripping her phone firmly her eyes lighten, she sneered thinking of a perfect plan. She has always wanted Francesca to be the one marrying Daniel instead of Helena, but that old Lorenzo Reyes used the favor that Old master owed him to propose a marriage between them two since he is Helena's god father. Cade was already married to the first young Miss Molly of the Mane family, they are expecting their second child soon.
Her fingers dialed a number and cooked up a plan to pay Helena of her disrespectful behavior towards her just now.
The servant named Susan came bringing a tray of fragrant tea to serves the Madam of the Lee family. She saw the anger in the Madam's face and placed the tea instantly and retreat as fast she could, she refuse to be the punching bag today.
Lorraine drank up her tea and the phone called finally connected.
"Hello Madam Anderson, this is Lorraine Lee.." Lorraine sweet gentle voice is like a sugar cane laced with poison ready to crippled its prey.
The Lee's is nothing to compare with the Anderson's wealth, so whenever Lorraine spoke with the Madam of the Anderson family, she lowered her positions to appeared respectful in order to brown nose the Matriarch of the Anderson's family.
"Yes Madam Lee, i apologized for what had happen to Helena, it is my fault for not taking care of her" Gianna Anderson words puzzled Lorraine for a few moment, her silent was presumed as a dissatisfaction towards Gianna. The guilty feeling ran on her mind
"Madam Lee, let us go visit Helena together" Gianna suggestion snapped Lorraine from her dazed, she realized she has been quite the entire conversation.
"Madam Anderson, don't blame yourself, i know you are kind to our Helena and i am grateful for it, yes let us visit her in the hospital" years of wearing a mask and cunningness has saved Lorraine from the situations, they continued their conversations and agreed to meet at the Royal Dragon private Hospital tomorrow.
Lorraine wonder of why Helena is in the hospital, she didn't dare to ask Madam Anderson since that will give away her cluelessness about Helena, after all she is too maintain her loving mother persona in front of the madam.
Her fingers tapping the wooden table in front of her creating a clicking sound of her long acrylic manicured nail.
