"Good morning dear.."
Peach was startled by the sudden voice. She turned her head and found an old lady who looked around in her 60s, sitting beside her. She bowed her head and said in a soft and weak voice, "goo-good morning". She inwardly slapped herself for stuttering.
The old woman chuckled lightly. She leaned back and sighed in relaxation. The morning sun was warm and bright while gentle winds blew on the soft and luscious land. "Isn't the day beautiful?" The old woman asked as she looked at the sky. White clouds slowly moved along the sky, bringing a sense of peace and tranquility.
Peach didn't think so, but to hide her uneasiness, she just smiled and didn't say anything. Her day started worse than she expected. The old woman didn't mind the lack of reply. Looking at the haggard appearance, she knew the teen girl didn't have a nice day.
She and Peach sat together as they kept on staring the blue sky. There was a long silence between them, but it wasn't awkward. They somehow enjoyed each other's company.
"Say little girl, why are you here?" The old woman suddenly asked, causing Peach to turned and looked at her. The old woman didn't turn to the girl, instead she kept on looking at the sky as she asked calmly, "Where is your house?".
Peach blushed when she remembered what happened to her. She gripped her shirt and said embarrassedly, "I-I was kicked out of my house".
She then let few fake tears to pour out of her eyes, to make the old woman believe her words. She had no other option but to lie. She can't say that she was raped and that she ran away from her job as a servant in brothel.
The old woman was not shocked but she was still surprised. At first when she saw the person sitting alone with her/his head buried in her/his arms, she knew something was wrong.
She waited for few minutes to look at the person, but after sitting for so long, she couldn't remain still. She only wanted to talk or say something, but she was shocked when she realized that the person was a girl who looked barely 19.
And worse, she looked so haggard that made her look like a homeless person. Now that the girl told her that she was kicked out of her own house, she couldn't help but feel sympathy for her. She patted the girl's head and asked worriedly, "do you have friends whom you can stay with?".
Peach bit her lower lip and shook her head. The original body didn't like to associate with anyone, causing her to always stay away from her peers.
Big crocodile tears stream out of her eyes as she sobbed, "Nobody likes me. I'm just an ugly person who everyone hates. I-I should have just end my life". She then covered her face and cried.
The old woman's heart broke seeing such a young girl saying these kinds of words. She didn't care whether the girl was haggard or dirty, she hugged her and gently patted her back , " Shussh... don't cry".
Peach's shoulder shook as she cried bitterly. All her frustration and sorrows were let out, as she held the grandma and cried with snots of mucus.
The old woman was so broken to see the young girl cry this much. She waited until the girl calm down. She remained quiet and gentle as she constantly rubbed the girl's back.
After few minutes.....
"I-I'm so sorry...I wasted your time" Peach said as she wiped her tears with her hand. The old woman took the girl's hand and asked gently, "why don't you stay with me. I'm alone and want someone to take care of me. Hahaha..don't worry I'll not asked you to become my servant".
Peach was surprised. Her blue eyes looked at the woman with shocked. The old woman couldn't help but feel drawn to the girl. Looking at her teary eyes and disbelief expression, she felt that the girl was so lovely inspite of her haggard appearance.
She fondled the girl's hand and asked, "If you're ok with it, you can stay in my home. Don't worry, you can go back to your family whenever you wish to. Grandma won't stop you". She told sincerely as she gently smiled.
Peach blushed and said embarrassedly, "I-I don't know what to say". The simple reply of the girl made the old woman laugh. She raised her hand and rubbed the girl's head, "Just accept my offer".
Peach bit her lower lip and nodded meekly. Even if the old woman didn't say her to, she would surely accept the offer. The old woman laughed seeing the silly girl. She stood up and put her hands at the back, "You can call me Grandma Dyna..".
Peach was stunned. Dyna.. it sounded just like her elder sister's name. Thinking about her elder sister, tears began to brim in her eyes, but she controlled it. She stood up and nervously stuttered, "I-My name is Pe-Mia". Right, she wasn't Peach anymore. She was Mia.
Dyna chuckled looking at the haggard girl. Her new step-granddaughter looked so haggard yet sounded so lovely. She asked the girl to walked with her. They spent some time walking around the small park as they talked with each other. The old people around them couldn't help but glanced at the weird girl.
The girl was wearing clothes which looked so hilarious that they couldn't help but giggle as they passed them. Their laughter and giggles didn't contained any harm nor a hint of disdain, so Peach didn't bother to mind them.
She understood the old age people mind. They were not like teenagers nor adult who treated the people according to the status or money. They experienced and knew many things which others don't.
Peach felt preety bad, when she told Dyna fake biography about herself. Since she didn't want to cause any troubles, she asked her system to delete all the information about her. Except her life in the orphanage.
She told Dyna that she was an orphan. After her adopted father died in a plane crash, his brother wanted to sell her to for money. She was also abused repeatedly. Last night, she was forced to have s*x with an old man, but she rejected it. It caused her uncle to get angry and he tried to r*pe her, but she ran away from her home.
*Peach's name is turned to Mia*
Dyna was shocked when she heard these things from Mia. She never thought that the girl suffered this much. She felt so broken that she hugged the girl and silently cried for few moments. She promised to keep the girl safe no matter what.
Mia couldn't help but feel guilty, because she was lying. What she said was half truth and half lie.
The original body was an orphan. She was adopted by a man who wanted a daughter to take care of him. The father then died in an accident within a year. Then the father's younger brother took care of the original body. The man was an old and fat man who lusted over money and women. He wanted to sell the original host and gain money as well as r*pe her. When the girl was 15, the old man sold her to a brothel in city Der, but she then escaped to Tir city.
She spent 2 years, working as a cleaner in a normal club with only $40 as monthly income. The club was then closed down due to some issues. No home, no friends, no family, no money, the host decided to sell herself.
She then found Hotel Lily, which was quite famous in Tir city for 'relaxation'. Since she was only 17, she wasn't allowed to sell her body yet, instead she worked as a bartender and learnt things from the ladies of the brothels.
[A/N= For those who don't know what is a brothel, it's a place where prostitute give pleasure to men]
Mia wanted to really thank the heavens and also cursed it. This body had turned 18 this year but also lost her virginity to an unknown Man. How unluckily.... According to the information installed by her system in her head, the original host wanted to capture a wealthy man and settle in her life.
She sneak into a luxurious banquet which practically ended up in a disaster as she was caught by the guards. She then accidentally entered into an unknown VIP room to hide herself. Since the original soul feared darkness, she stumbled down and hit her head on the side of bed, causing her to die at the spot.
The girl wouldn't have died just by hitting her head on the bed, but because of her phobia to darkness, her heartbeat quickened causing her brain to short circuit. Thus she died....
The reason why the original host wanted to become a famous person was because of her small brother.
The original body had a younger brother, who was only 4 when they both were dropped in the orphanage. The original body loved her younger brother more than anyone, even herself. They always sticked together, played together, slept together, eat together and also bath together.
The small boy was a very talented boy, so when he reached five, he was picked by a rich couple who couldn't birth a child.
Before they separated, her brother looked at her and said, "If sister becomes famous, then brother would be able to come find you. So don't give up ok?". His childish yet sweet words caused the elder sister's heart to stir with various emotions.
She cried and pleaded the rich couple to also take her in, but they didn't want to. They needed only a son, not a daughter. So, they coldly left the orphanage with the small boy.
That was the reason why she decided to become famous. She wanted to meet her little brother once again, but fate was always cruel. Mia sighed reading the fate of the original host body. Cannon fodder's life are no better than female leads. She hoped that the original host would rest in peace.
"Dear, are you alright?". Mia smiled and nodded, "I'm fine grandma. Just a little tired..". Dyna frowned slightly, she looked at the driver and said sternly "Driver, drive fast".
Mia giggled and said to her grandmother, "grandma let him take his time. It's not a problem". It was a problem actually. She wanted the driver to drive fast. She just couldn't say it out aloud. What would her new grandma think about her?
Dyna frowned and said worriedly, "Of course it's a problem. If you get sick because you didn't get proper sleep, then what'll do?".
Mia leaned on her grandma's shoulder and sighed, "Nothing would happen. Since grandma is taking care of me, nothing is gonna happen to me". Even if something happens, she wouldn't care.
Dyna sighed and said lightly, "You're such a sweet talker. How come I didn't know of this?". She didn't expect the shy and lovely girl to be such a sweet talker. Was this the true character of the girl? She chuckled thinking of this.
Mia was grateful that luck was on her side for once. According to the information given by her system, grandmother Dyna was the chairman of Addison corporation in the Capital.
She held a great position among the aristocratic classes. She had the brain and the power which would make any one shut his or her mouth instantly.
She may be old, but she had a badass character. Various companies wanted to gain her favour, but she always remained cold and distant, except to her loved ones. She would smile, laugh, tease and play with her loved ones but now, no one was around her.
Her grandchildren had grown up and became distant as they busied themselves in work and stuffs. Her son and daughters are busy with their partners or their business. She didn't like the life of wealthy people from then on. So she handed her corporation to her eldest grandson and settled in Tir city.
Mia was so lucky to find a kind and wealthy grandmother. Now that she had a family, status and wealth, she can finally complete her mission without any difficulties.
Seems like her day wasn't bad afterall.
