My System Harem

Chapter 10: Summit University

Her call echoed in my ears, but I couldn't bring myself to answer her. That face was the exact face I saw before dying. A mocking smile that made me want to tear it apart. How dare you call me sis after everything you did? As if stealing the only man I trusted after my mom, you even planned out my death?

The nails dug on my palm as I clenched my fist. I can't help but wish I could slap that beautiful face of hers. If only I could do whatever I want right here and now. But no. I took a deep breath as I forced out a smile.

Killing you now is not enough. You have to suffer, more than the amount of times you did in my past life. So smile all you want. Because I will make sure you won't be able to do so in the near future. Just watch.

"Are you leaving now? Why don't you have breakfast first? Then you can have a ride with me." She offered, smiling innocently as if she is not about to humiliate me later.

Yes, I definitely remember this. It may have been a long time ago, but all the pain this family had caused me are engraved deep in my head. And this moment was one of the worst ever. But why do I have to worry? Their future is in the palm of my hand.

"It's fine, Lyra. I can just take the bus, the car's air conditioning kind of make me sick." I answered, but it wasn't actually a kind one. I mean, why do I have to act kind towards them? I'm just being honest anyway. Though, it's not the car's air conditioning that makes me sick—it's them.

As if she understood the meaning, her face turned into a scowl. It was a face she only shows when she's with me, but this will be the end of her hypocrisy. I will make sure she feels the same humiliation I had to live my entire life in the campus. This time, everyone will know of her true self.

"How could you say that, sis? I was just being generous because I thought it would be a hassle if you wait for a bus."

"Don't worry, I've been doing that for years. You should probably hurry and eat your meal. You can't always be late, or you may not be able to save your grades anymore. We can't waste our parent's money, you know."

After stating my part, I turned and opened the door before leaving. A smirk formed on my face as I entered the bus. Yes, this is the kind of satisfaction I have been longing for. I don't know what face she's making, but I'm pretty sure she's very mad now. I bet she's even going to humiliate me at school, but what's there to worry? I know exactly what she will do. Everything.

This is just the beginning, so you should brace yourself, Lyra.

As the bus departed, I started to craft a plan for my mission. I completely understood what the system said, but was it really true? What if it was really my hallucination? Because honestly, aside from turning back time, I don't see or feel anything weird. How am I suppose to see the affection meter it showed me? Do I have to ask the system to show me? Or will it appear once I meet my target? But who is my target? It says the three heartthrobs of Summit University, but I don't even know much about them. It's been 4 years since I last graduated, so naturally, I have forgotten everything that happened aside from my time with Darius.

I have always been focused on my studies. I was so busy with my academics that I failed to notice others. It was Darius who broke my routine and slowly messed my grades. He would always ask me to hang out with him or go to his house, even in weekends. Because of that, my grades started to fail, and from being the top 1, I fell down to the bottom. That piece of—

Just thinking about it makes my head hurts. The heartbreak I experienced in my past life were innumerable. If only I stopped denying that fact, if only I had been a little mature, then I would have prevented that from happening.

I wonder, will Darius be there? Is this the time when he started to pursue me? Well, I'll see about that. I don't know how I would feel once I see his face, so I should probably brace myself so that I don't get too emotional, or I might end up doing something unthinkable. That 'yes' he have been chasing? I'll dig his own grave for him with Lyra by his side. I'll make sure of that.

As my head wandered from one thought to another, the bus came to a stop. We had arrived to Summit University—the beginning of my nightmare.

The campus still looked the same from my memory. It was huge, with bustling students entering. I couldn't help but sigh at the realization that I have really returned. But the thought that I have to study again and survive another 4 years gave me a headache.

No, my mission comes first. I need to look for that 3 heartthrobs and seduce them. Haa. Even just the mention of seducing someone gives me goosebumps. I mean, how am I supposed to do that? I have never seduced anyone before. It was always Darius who initiated all our dates and even our anniversary. It was always him, and I have never flirted with anyone before. Even if I have lived a long life, I was still stuck in the office trying to improve the situation of the company. I never had the chance to flirt with men!

If Lyra is here, I bet this is just a piece of cake for her. I mean, she's a natural flirt. She even effortlessly stole my man.

I could only roll my eye out of disgust. Just the thought of her makes my blood boil. I hope I don't see her for the entire day. Just the sight of her makes me sick.

Let's forget about her. Focus, focus.

I let out a huge sigh and continued my steps. I keep overthinking about the mission that I didn't even notice the person standing before me. With a bump, I fell on my feet as I groaned in pain.

"Ouch!"

"Are you okay?" he asked, but my butt hurts so much! I was already feeling fatigued when I woke up, and now I feel like laying down here on the ground.

Feeling frustrated, I lifted my head to see the man who offered his hands. However, the sun was too bright that I couldn't take a proper look. I blinked my eyes a few times to adjust it from the light and looked at the person once again.

It was a handsome man with black hair, with one side in front and the other side was slicked back. What was unique is his purple eyes. It was not a common color so it caught me off guard. But what really stood out wasn't his handsome face or purple eyes. It was the strange meter above his head!

Is he... One of the heartthrobs!??
