SECOND CHANCE WITH MY REBORN WIFE

Chapter 3

Ceelin

To prevent my father's dark plan of having a scandal between me and Phil, I hurriedly fled the venue. The venue was on the fifth floor of the huge event hall of that seven-star hotel so I took the elevator down to the first floor. But when the elevator opened, my father's smiling face and Phil's father greeted my face.

"Where are you going, Ceelin?" Daddy asked me, his face suddenly becoming serious when he saw me. He must have guessed that I was planning to leave the hotel.

If before, I would immediately get nervous when I saw my Dad's serious face, now I don't. Being given a second life gave me courage.

"I'm going home, Dad. I suddenly had a headache," I excused myself. He looked at me sharply with a hint of threat.

"Is she your eldest daughter, Delfin?" Phil's father asked my father with a smile.

"Yes, Mr. Salvatore. Her name is Ceelin. She is twenty years old now," Daddy introduced me to the man with a smile. Mr. Salvatore was looking at him so the serious and sharp look he had on me disappeared for a moment.

"Don't leave, Ceelin. Phil's party has just started. I'm sure you'll meet a lot of new friends," Mr. Salvatore assured me.

I shot my Dad a quick look. There was a silent threat in his sharp gaze again. I could read in his eyes the message that if I left the party, I wouldn't like what he would do to me later.

"Okay, Mr. Salvatore. I will stay just for your sake," I replied with a smile to Phil's kind father. I wanted to secretly convey to my father that the only reason I was staying at the party was because of Mr. Salvatore's wishes and not because I was afraid of what he might do to me later. Only Mr. Salvatore was kind to me when he was alive in my past life so I couldn't refuse him. He was just unfortunate that he died suddenly due to an accident. He allegedly had a heart attack while driving which caused his car to collide with a big truck.

"That's great!" Mr. Salvatore happily replied. "Let's go. Let's go back to the party together."

Mr. Salvatore offered his arms to me. I didn't feel any malice in his action so I smiled and held on to his arm and walked back to the party. I felt like I was holding on to my father's arm at this moment. Maybe because I was longing for fatherly love.

When we entered the event hall, almost all the guests at the party immediately looked at us. The reactions on their faces were different. Some raised their eyebrows and some were curious about my relationship with Mr. Salvatore. But most of them looked at me with malice. They gave color to what they saw. I just shrugged my shoulders secretly. I don't care what they think of me as long as my conscience is clear.

"Enjoy the party, Ceelin," Mr. Salvatore said to me with a smile before leaving me to approach his wife who also looked at me badly.

"If I see you leave the party again, you'll see what I'll do to you, Ceelin," Daddy threatened me sternly.

Instead of answering him, I just turned my back on him and went to the buffet table to get some food. I knew he was angry that I suddenly left him but I didn't care at all.

Since I can't leave now, I'll just eat because I'm hungry. I'll just avoid drinking the wine that my father would give me later. If I'm not mistaken, I got dizzy and fell asleep after drinking the wine Daddy gave me before.

"Seducing a married man in front of many people, his wife, and children. You're really something, lady," I heard a man's voice say as I was getting a vegetable salad.

I turned to see if the man behind me was talking to me. It turned out to be Phil. And I was the only one getting food from the buffet table, so he must be talking to me.

"Excuse me? Do I know you?" I pretended not to know him. Like I promised, I didn't want to entangle my life with him again.

"Really? You don't know me?" Phil asked me in disbelief. "I bet you're just pretending not to know me. I'm the son of the married man you tried to seduce earlier."

"Well, I'm sorry to say but I really don't know you. And what did I do to make you think that I seduced your father? Did you see me flirting with him with your own eyes?" I answered him firmly. I wanted to slap and kick him hard. I can't forget that he killed me in my past life. But I would look crazy if I did that so I just suppressed the anger I felt for him.

Phil was really handsome in the sense of handsome. But his handsomeness had no appeal to me. Because I knew that behind his handsomeness was hiding a fierce and frightening demon.

"I don't believe you," Phil's eyebrows met. Even though he was close to me, he still walked closer until our bodies were almost touching.

I couldn't stand it anymore so I pushed him hard in the chest away from me.

"Please, mind your manners, Mr. Salvatore. Many eyes are looking at me. I don't want them to think that after seducing the father, I'm now seducing the son," I said, my fist clenched tightly.

Phil suddenly sneered and his face darkened. "The truth also came out. You're just pretending not to know me. Why? Just to catch my attention and curiosity? You're not worth it."

I chased Phil with a sharp look when he turned his back on me and just left after throwing insults at me.

I want to catch his attention and curiosity? Was I the one who approached him and spoke first? The nerve!

Feeling irritated, I took a glass of wine from the waiter who passed by and gulped it down like water. I wasn't used to drinking wine so I suddenly choked. I heard the laughter of Phil's other guests who were looking at me but I just ignored them.

Back then, no such scene had happened. I arrived at the venue alone and without my father and Mr. Salvatore. There was also no conversation between Phil and me because the first time we met and got to know each other was inside the room where we were caught by our parents sleeping next to each other in bed with only a quilt covering our lower bodies. I was secretly happy because it meant that I was gradually changing what had happened before.

"Hi, Older Sister. Are you enjoying the party?" Lucy asked me with a smile as she approached me. She was carrying two glasses of wine in her hands.

"What do you want?" I asked her in a cold voice. I knew she was planning something bad now. Since childhood, she has always embarrassed me in front of many people so I should be careful with her.

"Oh, c'mon, Sister. I just want to have a drink with you. Is that bad?" She handed me a wine she had brought. "Let's cheer."

My father didn't come to me and give me wine, instead Lucy came to me and offered me a glass of wine. Maybe ahe already spiked the wine she was giving me.

"Fine. Let's drink together," I replied with a plastic smile. She handed me the wine glass with a grin so I guessed I was right. I took the wine glass from her hand and pretended to drink it. But instead of drinking it for real, I suddenly threw the wine on her clothes. "Oops! I'm sorry, Lucy. I didn't mean it. I'm a little dizzy because I had already drunk wine earlier that's why I accidentally threw the wine on you."

"You b***h! I know you intentionally poured the wine into my clothes to embarrass me. Get ready yourself later when we get home. I will settle the score between us," she angrily threatened me in a low voice before frowning and leaving me.

I secretly smiled because the guests were laughing at her when they noticed that the white sleeveless gown she was wearing had a different color. Lucy hated being embarrassed in front of many people so her nose must be smoking with anger now. For the first time, I managed to embarrass her. And it feels satisfying.

"Drinks, Ma'am?" the waiter offered me a drink with a smile as he passed by where I was standing.

"Yes, please," I replied, smiling. He handed me the wine and immediately left. After the waiter left, I immediately took a sip of the wine. This wine is an award for beating my sister for the first time in my life.

Just a few seconds after I drank the wine the waiter gave me, I suddenly felt dizzy and my eyelids felt heavy. Then my vision went dark and I didn't know what had happened afterwards.

I suddenly turned pale when I woke up and discovered that I was in bed with Phil lying next to me. Apart from my underwear, I was wearing nothing else while Phil was naked too. I didn't know if he was wearing underwear under the blanket that covered our bodies.

Why did I still end up in the same situation as before? Can't I really escape my cruel fate? What happened to me in my first life would repeat in my second life?
