Her dress covered in blood, pain all over her body, the house is on fire, smoke is everywhere. ”How are you holding up Anna? Ha-ha-ha!” She looks at the person who's laughing wickedly, the only person she trusted in her whole life, her best friend. ”Aes, but she had failed her mother.

Why? Why? Why did both of them do this to her?! She had loved them both very much and they were the ones that she cares for in this cruel world.

”Why?” She asked while trying to stop the tears from falling down to her beautiful face.

”'Why' you ask? Heh! The reason is simple my dear, to get everything you have away from you! You don't deserve it, in fact, you don't deserve anything at all. What you have should have been mine in the beginning.” What Rebecca just said made the tears that she was holding back, falls down to her cheeks and it just kept on pouring and pouring.

”Anna, what does it feels like to lose everything you have now? Hmm?” Juan holds her chin forcing her to face him eye to eye. 'It hurts, it really hurts! Everything that the both of you did to me is painful to bear' that's what she wants to say but her voice just couldn't come out. ”Well, what you feel right now doesn't satisfy me and to make myself satisfied, me and Rebecca want you DEAD.”

The only thing that's been running to Anna's thoughts is death. Anna would gladly accept it without any hesitation, it's unbearable for her to stay alive and breathing the same air with the two traitors.

”Oh yeah, do you remember the car accident that your mom was in?” Anna diverted her gaze to Rebecca's direction when she heard Rebecca mentioning the woman who acts like her mother and father at the same time when her dad disappeared mysteriously. ”It was just not an ordinary car accident though.”

Anna saw that evil grin on Rebecca's mouth, and a thought suddenly hits her. ”What the hell did you do?!” Anna angrily stared at Rebecca.

”Well, since you're gonna die anyway might as well tell you the whole truth. It's not just me and Juan plotted your mother's death, my father and your uncle James participated in our little plot.” Anna was shocked to hear it, her uncle James who showed her a fatherly love all these years schemed something like that to her mother. Her mother treated her uncle James with kindness and helped him and his family when they needed. Is this how he repay her mother's kindness? Despicable! Unforgivable!

While cursing her uncle James in her heart she suddenly thought about her grandpa's sudden death. ”Are the two of you is also the reason why my grandpa died?!” Anna's voice was shaking when asked that question, she's scared to know the truth. Knowing the truth about her mother's death was enough to give her more pain than she already felt, but if she's gonna know about her grandpa's sudden death it's going to be too much for her to handle.

They both looked at Anna and from what she saw on their faces, her guess was right, they're responsible for her grandpa's sudden death. ”Yes, I put poison on your grandfather's meal. Putting poison on his meal is an easy task, he trusts me too much that I am allowed to bring out his food.” Juan, how despicable of him to do that if it weren't for her grandfather's kindness he could have died in the middle of the streets.

”Come on now Rebecca, let us not stay here any longer, the smoke here is not good for you and the child in your tummy, you know.” As Juan said that he looked at Anna full of mockery plastered in his face. From their gazes on Anna, it's like saying that they've already won and there's nothing she could do anymore, she's gonna die anyway.

Anna started crying again, her tears just won't stop, she closed her eyes and remembering all those times that she, Rebecca, and Juan did together, they were happy. All those memories were just fake, they faked it. 'They're the ones who deserve to die! Not me! I did nothing wrong!' Anna said in her mind.

Anna opened her eyes and saw one of her experimental bottle tubes that can explode when it's thrown into a fire. Anna picked it up and looked at Juan and Rebecca who's walking away from her. Anna couldn't accept this if she's going to die those two traitors should come along with her.

She said to herself that if she's going to be reborn again before her grandpa and her mom died she promise to herself that she will make their lives miserable than what the two of them had given her.

She threw the bottle to the fire near Juan and Rebecca. The two traitors were shocked to see the bottle and realized what it is, they hurriedly walk away but it's too late for them, there was a huge explosion and everything went black.

”Anna.” Someone's calling her name, it was a gentle voice that warms her aching heart. That voice feels so nostalgic for her, 'what's this feeling' she asked. She feels like she's floating, like every pain that she felt earlier is suddenly faded away. ”Anna.” There it is again, that voice. 'Whose voice is it?' She wondered. ”Anna.” Ah! She remembers now, this voice was her mother's, the voice that she missed so much.

Somebody was shaking her, it's like someone is trying to wake her up, the hands that are shaking her feel like it was her mother's. The heavens must be playing tricks with her, she's dead already, why would the heaven want to play tricks with her? Making her hear her beloved mother's voice, making her feel her mother's warm touch. ”Anna, open your eyes.” Should she open her eyes? But what if when she opened her eyes her mother is not there and the heaven just likes play tricks with her. Anna doesn't want to assume that, but still, she wanna see her mother.
