Chapter 43: FORTY THREE

Kalsey

I have been getting headaches since then but I always let it slide. I think that this just might be because of lack of sleep or I am just overthinking. I got up, went to my desk, and looked at my reflection in the mirror. I slowly touched my face and saw how pale it was. My face wasn't like this before, I don't why this was happening to me. I am getting worried now about my physical appearance.

"Shit, what is this? Why does it feel like it is sticky? I am now gonna wash my face." I went immediately to my own comfort room and started washing.

"Good day, Darling."

I looked around me when I heard a voice. I even looked outside the comfort room and saw no one! Not any one of my maids is here! "Who are you?"

"Silly, you can't see me as I am inside you. You're just hearing my voice in your mind." I raise my eyebrows after hearing that. "Don't worry, I have no intention of hurting you."

"I am asking you, who are you?"

"Me? I am your ancestor Kalsey." Kalsey? What does she mean she is Kalsey?

"Stop joking with me bitch, I have no time to laugh with your corny jokes." I heard her laughing causing me to stare in the mirror when suddenly I slowly saw a face of a woman who also had a face like mine! We were different. She was wearing something so conservative. My eyes widened because of that.

"Believe me now?" I slowly nodded in response. "Hmm, I didn't think you're that kind of shallow. I don't like your outfit."

I raise my eyebrows again because of that. "What do you mean? Don't judge about my clothes! You don’t know how much it costs!" She just laughed at me and stared at my eyes again.

"I am not here to argue with your clothes, darling. I am here to make a deal with you." Deal? What kind of deal does she want? "Now, let us get straight to the point here, Darling. You wanted Karsen, right?"

My heart raced faster after hearing Karsen's name. I tried to reach out to him but he was not answering my text or my call. I don't want Mom and Dad to know about this as I am afraid that they might punish him and I don't like that. My parents already started the process of our engagement but it still needs Karsen's signature.

They were asking me why Karsen was taking so long. I just gave them a good excuse so they can wait for it.

"Is the deal related to Karsen?" The woman nodded in response. I crossed my arms as I talked with her in the mirror. "Spill."

"I know you hated Charlotte so much and you want her to be gone?" I nodded in response. I remember how did that woman humiliate me in front of Karsen! I really wanted her to be gone! "What if I help you make Karsen fall in love with you?" My eyes widen after hearing that.

"You can do that?" she nodded. "How?"

"Before that, there is something you need to do for me. Do you want me to help you? But help me first." I raise my eyebrows again after hearing it.

"Is this a scam or what? I will only accept the deal if you make Karsen fall in love with me. You know, I really

don't talk to strangers so you are lucky because you pique my interest. I wanted mine first before yours, deal?" I look at her looking at me with dismay. It seems she doesn't want it. "I can't help it. We'd rather close the conversation if you can’t—"

"Fine."

I smiled after hearing that. "Then deal, tell me everything."

"Well, I will give you a potion that can make him fall in love with you."

"Wait, are you a witch or something?"

"Let me speak first, darling." I shut my mouth when I saw her furiously looking at me. I gulp. "I needed a strand of his hair so the potion would be effective, also, you need to make him write your name in the paper. It may be an old handwritten name or a new one, you chose. After you obtain these two things, let me do the rest, you hear me?"

"Uh, how could I possibly give it to you if you are in the mirror?"

"Dumb woman, didn't I say let me speak first?" I shut my mouth again when her voice looks like she's mad. "Of course, for that, you will let me borrow your body for a while to make the potion."

"Wait, what? Control my body?"

"How could I make the potion if you won't let me?" she's right but that kind of absurd! I don't want anyone to control my body just like that! My body, my rules! "Don't worry, it will only last for an hour." Well, that made me feel relief.

"Then, what would I do for you after that?" I saw her smirking causing my body to shiver. She is scary!

"You will let me borrow your body for two weeks."

"What!?"

"Just two weeks, after the contract that we signed it will vanish immediately so whether I like it or not to stay in your body, your soul will be back in seconds. And take note, the two parties cannot terminate the contract once it is signed."

I thought about what she said. It was scary to let her do that especially since I won't be able to know what was happening on the outside if my soul won't be in my body. What should I do? I don't want to waste this opportunity either. I wanted Karsen to be mine again.

"What will happen to my soul if I let you control my body?"

"Nothing, you will be stuck in a pitch darkness." Wait, that is way more scarier than I expected! "What? Don't you want it? Sacrifice is a s crucial thing to get what we want. If you are not ready to sacrifice something then you won't be able to get what you wanted."

I thought about it again. Only once in a blue moon that something like this will happen. Should I give it a try?

"Alright, Deal."

After I said that, a piece of long paper showed up in the air and front of me. It is the contract that she is talking to. I read it all first and after that, I took the pen beside the contract paper and signed it. "Done."

"Well done, Darling. I will make sure you won't regret it."
