Chapter 7 My Offer
Mira lay on the bed staring at the ceiling. Her heart was gripped with extreme fear of getting exposed.
At this very moment, Luna Rosie could be at the mansion’s doorstep demanding to see her husband and reveal the truth about the soul switch.
But what can she do to silence Luna Rosie?
Will that woman even listen to her? Would Luna Rosie be content to remain in her ugly body forever and let another soul take over her life? She never will!
She took a long deep breath to calm herself down.
Now is not the time to panic and give up. Now is the time to think fast.
But what can she do?
"Just give up, girl and leave Luna Rosie’s body, that is my final advice to you!" Ada the wolf hiding in her head said.
“Leave me alone! I don’t have time for your tantrums and insults! Go away!” Mira said angrily.
Ada laughed. “Are you scared, Mira? Are you afraid Alpha Gideon will discover the truth? Just admit it! You will be kicked out of Luna Rosie’s body soon!”
"Shut up. I’m busy right now. I don’t have time for you. I don’t need your advice. Go back to your hiding place!" Mira ordered.
"Fine. Just die soon dear so my Luna Rosie can return to her body. I will stay silent for now. I will be silently watching you suffer hard for stealing her body. Bye. Enjoy your misery!” Ada retreated to her hiding place.
Mira released a sigh of relief.
The annoying wolf was gone but she was still desperate for a quick solution to her problem. She couldn't think of a single effective solution to solve her problem. Her mind is freezing!
Heart filled with grief, she glanced at the window and saw the leaves of the trees swaying to the gentle rhythm of the wind. “Is this my end? My good fortune ends too soon? I haven’t enjoyed this life yet,” she said tearfully. “Please help me, anyone?” Her heart was screaming for help as she begged with all her heart for divine intervention.
Her heartfelt plea was finally heard by someone…
Suddenly, the branches of the trees stopped moving.
Time stood still frozen in time on that side of the mansion.
Mira’s heart froze in fear. This kind of phenomenon usually happens before death comes to claim her life. Is she about to die again?
She braced herself for her impending doom…
But instead of death, an incredible thing happened…
A silhouette floated, entered the window and formed into a man, about six feet tall, standing on the floor facing her. He was wearing a dark ensemble and a black cape flowing around his back, looking morbidly handsome.
Shocked at witnessing such an incredible phenomenon, Mira sat upright on the bed, her heart pounding in her chest rapidly. She stared at the handsome guy’s face, wondering what kind of being he was. He looks normal though, but his aura is intimidating.
Everything about him exudes power and mystery. There is something about him that is hard to explain.
“W-who are you? Why did you enter my room unannounced?” Mira asked in a trembling voice.
Her fear was quickly replaced by curiosity, she met his gaze head on.
The guy replied, “You are a glitch. The soul switch was my mistake…I’m here to offer you another way out of your problem. I can transfer your soul to another body if you wish to…”
Mira blinks twice. “Who are you? Answer me first!” she asked, wanting to know where he came from.
The guy ignored her question. “No need to ask me about who I am. Even if I answer your question you will not understand my role in your destiny. So just accept my offer and say goodbye to your problems."
“Give me your name at least!” she insisted.
The mysterious guy smiled. “You are so stubborn, your highness. Alright let’s get over this…my name is Sebastian at your service.”
Her brows drew together in confusion. W-why does his name sound familiar? She had never seen him before.
He smirked. “Does my name ring a bell in your head my dear?”
“S-Sebastian? And what exactly are you? A spirit, ghost, angel or devil?” she asked, peering into his deep blue eyes.
Sebastian laughed, amused by her curiosity. “Does it matter who I am, dear?”
“Yes it does!” Mira said fiercely, wanting to know everything about him.
“I’m a shaman,” he replied. If he tells her who he is, will she remember him?
Her brows knitted in concentration. “A shaman who can enter anybody’s home without knocking?”
“Yes, I’m a shaman. Don’t dig too much into my identity. But let’s not talk much about me. I’m here to help you out. I will make you an offer you can’t refuse. I will transfer your soul into another dying person's body. Just say yes and I will make it happen according to your will,” he said.
Transferring her soul to another body? Mira went silent, pondering his offer. Earlier, she had been crying to heaven asking for help, asking for an immediate solution to her problem. And now that help had arrived in the form of a mysterious and powerful shaman, she was hesitating to accept his offer.
“So what is your decision, your highness?” Sebastian asked.
“Stop calling me your highness!” Mira said.
Sebastian shrugged. “Fine, what do you want dear?”
“What kind of body do you offer me then?” she asked curiously.
“It’s the body of a 25-year-old drug addict woman who is about to overdose in the next two hours,” he replied.
“No way! I don’t like that kind of body, besides I'm already happy and satisfied with my current body. I don’t want to abandon it!” Mira said fiercely and stubbornly.
“Oh, you don’t want to leave your current body?” he asked, smirking in amusement.
“Yes, I have no plans to change bodies and you can’t make me abandon it!” Mira said defiantly.
He chuckled, amused. “May I know why? What’s the reason? Is it because you look beautiful now? Was it because you were pregnant? Or was it because you are now a rich lady and Luna?” he asked.
“Because I love my husband. I have loved him for a long time and now that I have become his wife I have no plans to leave him. This has been my wish for the longest time and now that it’s finally given to me you have no right to transfer me to another body. This is my life now and I want to live this kind of life until I die,” Mira explained in a tone filled with despair.
“Ah, I see…I got you now. But let me ask you a question. What are you going to do with Luna Rosie’s soul that is currently occupying your body? She is determined to get back her life and expose you. What are you going to do about her?” he asked, observing her face closely.
