chapter 5

Arielle felt all sore and having a bath seems like the best idea, she rushes into the bath. When the lukewarm water hit her body, most of her tiredness disappeared. She still felt sore when she was done but it was better. She walks out of the bathroom, with a towel tight around her chest.

The old man who came earlier was waiting for her with 2 other ladies all dressed in suits and holding a set of clothing and shoes. The dresses were placed on the bed and the ladies gave her a simple bow before exiting the room.

“Here are your clothes miss Cowell” the old man did not dare look her in the eye. Arielle picks up the dresses and examines them, she wonders how they got her size same shoe size the same and perfect.

A pair of white pants and a blue tank top with a black jacket. She wasn't a fan of fancy clothes in her previous life but she was indeed going to give some time to fashion this time around., Arielle didn't have time to ask anything else but thought silently in her heart, the service in this hotel is good, but it was a pity that she came here only once in her previous life.

Coming out of the hotel, the sky outside was overcast and foggy, and all the cars passing by had their headlights turned on. However, the faint light seemed to be unable to penetrate such a vast and gloomy haze, and the cool breeze kept blowing. With drilling wetness, the warm ground reflects the light and shadow of different shades due to the illumination of the car lights, and it is sad to look a little lonely.

Arielle wraps her jacket tightly and walks out. This place looks so beautiful and it felt incredible to be walking the streets 5 years behind in time. She would have taken a taxi in her previous life and continued crying over the incident, but that was important but not the least of her problems either, however, she had to take care of her problem by putting the most important before the others.

Exposing the ones behind her mischieve is way more important. She knows for a fact the man from the last night would not come again into her life and she wishes he never shows up either. She tightly walked toward her home.

The hotel is quite far from home and she did not want to owe any more favors so she chose not to ask for money and prefer walking back home. The old man also prepared a pair of high heels for her. When she walked to the door of the house, her feet had long grown out of blisters, and the pain was numb. They were all red and painful.

Finally, she arrives home and just. She knocks on the door, waiting for someone to open it for her while the rain makes her wet. Her situation is quite ironic for she is the owner of the mansion but she has to wait on someone to usher her in like some guest. Mary a staff opens the door for her, she has been the one taking care of her after her mother passed away, she wasn't the servant who attended to her mother as her father got her fired under the lines of her being old to continue.

"Miss." Mary greets her while she enters the mansion. Arielle turns and looks at her coldly,” so you're still aware I am the first daughter of the Cowell family, yet you look me outside under the rain?”

Mary could not understand but something was off about Arielle. She did not give the vibe of the sweet little kid she watches grew up she felt like the person right before her eyes was someone else. Mary stood in the rain for a while not sure if she should confront Arielle and ask what the problem is or keep quiet.

She has changed so much overnight since last night she revered her as a nanny marry, but it seems as if she doesnt know how to address her anymore. Marry just pushed the thought to the back of her mind.

She is not going to believe Arielle has changed overnight. She is still the timid child who grew up without a mother and for the records, her father loves her stepsister and stepmother more. The properties may be in her name and her father may just be controlling them for now for she is still young, but that won't be the case in the future.

The properties will be given to her sister in the future and not her. Anabel still bares Comfrey, her mother's last name. She hasn't been accepted into the family yet so her name hasn't been changed to Cowell.

She is indeed the first daughter of the Cowell family but what's there to be proud of? As Arielle walks in closer, she overhears her step sisters' conversation with her father and stepmother. Not like she was her stepmother already, they weren't married and as such, she can still be considered to be the mistress or better still a baby mama, as they have a child together.

"Dad, Mom, and Grandpa finally promised to allow the both of you to get married, wow, I am so excited. Finally, I will be able to take your last name and be called Cowell too. This is great, everyone will know you are my father and I won't be called the daughter of a mistress anymore.”

Although Anabel was her father’s biological daughter, no one knew about it. She thought she was the child her stepmother brought with her. She must have been stupid in her previous life. However, rebirth sure did have its advantages. She smiles and walks in with all confidence and pride. Now she knows better, she is aware of every scheme and stunt they plan to pull and she is surely ready to beat them at their own game.
