I prepared myself by unblocking him and typing a few words, "Julian, can we meet?" Sent. To my surprise, the message was immediately read, showing blue checkmarks. I was stunned.
"It seems Julian really does have feelings for Helena," I laughed briefly. In the book, Julian was the second male lead who competed with the main male character as a love rival. Of course Julian would never win the battle for Helena's love. "But I'm going to change the plot!" I said firmly.
"He sent something!" I shouted with joy, but I immediately fell silent because the message read, "You're already married, and a married woman's behavior shouldn't betray her husband, right?"
I bit my lip. "Unbelievable!" I said angrily, punching the wall to release my emotions. I was thinking, "Doesn't Julian protect Helena like a precious gem in the story?" There's no way he would do something that would hurt Helena! So I closed my eyes again. Unfortunately, my head started to ache and Helena's words appeared in my memory: "For my entire life I won't regret it. I will get married, and single men and married women can't talk!"
I opened my eyes again. "Helena, you're too foolish for this!" I wished I could embody Helena right now, but I quickly realized that I am Helena in this story.
Damn it. I had wasted so much time thinking about pointless things!
So I finally wrote, "I'll do anything."
Julian sent his address with a text message, "In 2 hours you must be here."
I smiled widely. "Julian, you still have feelings for Helena after all!" Then I sent a text, "Thank you!"
I looked around me. "This is a storage room. There must be clothes here."
I walked slowly with my eyes closed, letting Helena's body move. After opening my eyes, I found a thin satin gown and a thick fur coat. I smiled. "It seems the Padip family doesn't know how expensive these items are." Ah, they're too foolish.
"I already bathed earlier, so I'll just get dressed." If Helena's clothes are stored here, then I can be sure her makeup is here too.
So I closed my eyes again. Helena's body was really helpful. I found a complete makeup kit with all the products.
"Woahhh, Dior brand!" I shouted with excitement. In my entire life, I'd only seen influencers use it, and now it's in my hands!
I touched my chest and said, "Helena, I'll make you as beautiful as possible!"
I also found a flashlight and placed it on top of the cabinet, making the storage room much brighter. I applied moisturizer, concealer, foundation, blush, did my eyes, cheeks and lips, then added a little eyeliner.
As a result, Helena's pale face now looked much healthier and more beautiful. "Girl, you must return to your noble status!" I said.
Unfortunately, my head suddenly throbbed with pain. Foreign memories, Helena's memories, appeared in my head. "To be loved by my mother-in-law and husband, I mustn't wear makeup. I would only hurt Oscar because wearing makeup means insulting his physical limitations."
Damn! Those were Helena's inner thoughts after she once tried to wear makeup again and got beaten by Magda and Deca.
I sighed, placed my hand on my chest, then closed my eyes again. "Helena, you need to know that Magda is only jealous of you because you really are that beautiful. Now relax, I'm here. Everything will be okay!"
I massaged my head briefly, then opened my eyes. I was a reader of this story in the book before. My conclusion about Magda is that she's truly a master manipulator, she's also selfish, and she wants to be the only beautiful person.
"Even with the difference in status, Magda should be self-aware that Helena will always be a girl from the upper class. Her body is full of nutrients measured since in the womb and has undergone beauty treatments many times."
I looked at myself in the reflection of the vanity mirror. My hair was already tied in a chignon, then a white midi dress made of silk satin and light brown Mary Jane heels.
"I'm ready to change Helena's unfortunate fate!" I said firmly.
"But wait..."
I looked around. Unfortunately, I didn't see any windows in this storage room. "Ety!" I called the system.
Suddenly an object, which turned out to be a key, fell.
I smiled. "It seems my path is right!" Even Ety is helping me. "Thanks Ety!" I said, then started trying to use the key.
"We don't need to bring that damn Helena."
I froze hearing Magda's voice faintly.
What does she mean by saying that?
I tried to remember the sequence of events in the book. 'If my beginning here was being splashed with water by Deca, that means I'm actually already in chapter 9 of the book. The content is about humiliating Helena at Pandu's birthday party, the grandfather of the Turi family.'
"If Magda doesn't invite Helena to the birthday party, then that clearly means the story has changed!"
I don't know what that evil Magda is planning again, but I'll prepare everything well. I gathered my courage to open the door and stepped out carefully.
But how do I get out of here if they are still in this house?
"Argh! No matter what, I had to get out!"
But as I was about to take a step, a voice called out to me. "Helena... where are you going?"
