Four days had passed since Cosette transferred to her new school. Maxen didn't come back after skipping class on her first day, demotivating her even more with days he was absent. It was just not fun when the reason (Maxen) she chose this school wasn't around. "You keep looking at that spot." Sarah pointed out, sitting on the chair in front of Cosette. "The person who sits there is always absent, but whenever he turns up, he is always covered with bruises." "That's right. He hangs around those…-

"I hope you all be kind and considerate with Miss Blac, you understand?" The teacher tapped the table in the front with his thin notebook while gazing at everyone. "Miss Blac, take any empty seat." "Thank you." Cosette nodded as her eyes gloss over the room. The side of her lips stretched when she caught the empty seat next to Maxen. She didn't idle as she sauntered to the empty chair beside Maxen, ignoring the gazes from her new classmates, and offered him a smile. "Can I sit here?" she asked, but Maxen…

Cosette had been staying in her room for the past few days, but tonight would be different. She accepted the fact she transmigrated into the world of the novel. She had to — not like she had any other option. Therefore, she planned that her mission would commence tonight. "I heard you weren't feeling well in the past days." Conrad broke the silence as his daughter finally joined him for dinner. He watched his daughter glance at him briefly before she set her eyes back on her plate. That was Conrad's…

"But then volume 2 took a drastic turn." Her expression turned grim because, in volume two, new characters were introduced. Asher and Mia in volume two had already developed feelings for each other, but they hadn't confessed yet. "In volume 2, Maxen appeared and Sister Cozie." A sigh slipped past her lips. The latter's appearance in the novel and her interest in the male lead would pale in comparison to Maxen's obsession. "Maxen, the villain…" Cosette let out another deep sigh as she started writing…

Filled with anxiety, uncertainty, and doubt, the third time Cosette awoke in this world warranted her to stay inside her room all day. She barely even touched the food Lucia brought her as she tried to sleep for as long as she could during the third day. But Cosette still woke up inside this same room and inside the body of Cosette Blac on the fourth day. At that point, she was still in denial, but not as strong as the third day. Then another day came, and then another one. Now, on the sixth day,…

The ambiance at the dinner table was quiet, awkward, and uncomfortable to be in. Cosette squealed internally, complaining at how come her handsome father, whom she could also fangirl over, was being too silent! She felt like making a sound would annoy him. Conrad was intimidating even without trying. When Cosette joined him at the dining table, her father, Conrad Blac, only cast her a cold glance. He only looked at her one time and then ate without a word. This was something new to her, it wasn't for…

"… the husband of the year." Asher frowned as his brows furrowed, but said nothing. Instead, he assisted her until she was standing in her stature like a gentleman while she looked at him with strange emotions in her eyes. He knew all the faces on this floor, so he was certain she was from another class. Was she another admirer of his? He narrowed his eyes. "Are you alright?" he queried whilst studying her out of habit. Nothing. She was too star-struck. "Miss?" he spoke once again after a minute of…

Cosette expected it would shock everyone that she was out and about just three hours after she returned home. They weren't. They were used to it. Still, she informed Lucia that she would go to the academy to get something from her dorm. Cosette had a room in the academy; although she rarely used it since she preferred going home. She only stayed in the dormitory if she needed to finish something and couldn't afford to waste a second on the road. 'Sister Cozie is so efficient and responsible that even…

When Maxen was discharged a few hours later, the two of them argued about how he would go home. As usual, he insisted on taking a bus since he had no money for a cab. But Cosette already got him one and even paid it twice the amount he needed. And before she sent him off, she nagged him to take his medicines on time and have plenty of rest. She repeated it like a broken record to the point Maxen nearly lost his mind. Standing on the hospital's driveway, she giggled while staring at him through the window…

The familiar discomfort and slight pain that woke Cosette up made her believe she was back to reality. Although it wasn't the same level of pain she had been enduring, her strange yet beautiful dream was over. 'How sad…' she thought, letting out a sigh as she blinked weakly. '… Maxen. My dream feels real…' Cosette blinked countless times, seeing the familiar ward she was staring at before she fell asleep. Her mind buffered for a while as she tried to match this ward and to the ward she had stayed…
