Fake Antagonist
Chapter 20 ~ Virtual Life

He hung up the phone, went out and looked at the beautiful blue sky. "Let's try a new life" he murmured with a big smile.

"You take it easy, as your sister I will always take care of you" Melysa said after taking Alice to class.

Lucy and Kiara even looked at the girl strangely. Alice smiled as if she was grateful to him.

"I have to go back, soon the class will start" he continued, patting his cousin's shoulder gently.

"Sir Edric likes brave girls" Alice said as she moved on.

Melysa put on a confused face, as if not understanding which way Alice spoke, "What do you mean? Why did you go to Mr Edric?" ask her with a plain face.

"Sister don't pretend, I know how much you like Mr. Edric."

"Eh, ma-where is."

"Sir Edric likes brave girls, likes to help, is not stubborn, is not rude and virtuous, and most importantly is a defender of the truth. For example, like before Brother defended me, if Mr. Ed saw it would be very grounded," explained Alice at length with a sweet smile. A sweet smile that had too much meaning in it.

Melysa began to eat Alice's words, her intention to return to the class she paled in order to find out the type of girl Edric likes. Alice deliberately took advantage of the situation, she would make Melysa do whatever she wanted.

Days have passed, since weaving Oliv and Haven always seen together. They look happy, while Aldric continues to follow Alice. Although Alice repeatedly requested the termination of the engagement, but the man did not budge at all.

"Hey, Alice. Wait, where are you going?"

"Don't tell me you're going to Edric's room again?"

"What's the matter with you?"

"Of course there is, I'm your fiancee. I don't want your name to be bad in someone else's eyes."

"If you don't want to get dragged down, you can break our engagement, right?"

"No! I'll speed up the marriage if you keep avoiding me."

"Ck." Alice sighed harshly, not knowing how else to get Aldric to come back to hate her.

At the same time Oliv and Haven passed by, seeing that Alice was like a light in the darkness. 'I'm sorry Haven, Oliv, ' his inner self as he stepped quickly towards the pair of lovers.

"I think I warned you. How can you not know yourself?" satirize with cynicism.

"What do you mean, Lice?" haven asked confusedly, while Oliv looked down while squeezing his hands together.

"Of course for this girl, you guys don't fit Hav! I'm sure Aunt Belle won't agree."

"You know what about my mama. Don't be so ignorant, Lice,"

"Haven, I don't suit you, I don't" Oliv said with teary eyes, then ran away from there.

"Oliv! Ck, I thought you'd changed, Lice. It turns out the same, still wanting to be alone. He's my lover now, and your Aldric will be safe for you to have. Think, Lice! I'm disappointed in you." After saying that, Haven left from there. It seemed that he was angry at Alice, while Alice sighed, trying to calm down because her hands had started shaking.

"See what? They don't deserve to be together. I just want Haven to get the best out of it" she said, seeing Aldric still standing looking at her.

"Yes, you're right. Oliv is not worthy of Haven. Likewise with Mr. Edric who does not suit you," said Aldric stirred, making Alice round her eyes.

'Damn, I'm tired of being evil and he supports it? It was Haven who was angry with me now, ' his mind was upset.

"Basic is crazy" he wrote to Aldric and then left.

With an annoyed face the girl headed to Edric's room. Actually he is not in the mood at the moment, but thinking about his return inevitably he has to go there.

But that old and stiff guy lately has been very strange. Just yesterday when Alice was visiting, Edric smiled as long as he was in the room. Like people are not sane.

"Alice, where are you going?" ask the real Melysa from earlier following the cousin.

Alice smiled, she had an idea now. "You go to Mr. Edric's room, but all of a sudden I have SME business. How ya?" he answered with a troubled face.

"Ouh, you want to take care of Mr. Edric's wounds? Yes, leave it to me! You take care of her SME business," Melysa bargained vigorously.

"No need to be, afraid to take care of Big Brother." Alice pretended to be unwell.

"Nerepotin really, here's the cure! Anyway, she did not help my sister. Of course I have to return the favor too dong."

"I go first, yes" he said as he left, a wide smile etched clearly on the girl's face making Alice smile cynically.

Arriving at Edric's room, Melysa knocks on the door. There was an inside voice asking him to come in.

"Pass, sir," he said politely.

Edric who had put his best face on suddenly leveled up, "What business are you doing here?"

"Emm, I replaced Alice to take care of Mr.'s wounds."

"Alice where?"

"Alice has SME business, sir."

'SMEs 'Urusan? He should have consulted me first, right?'

"Get out!"

"But, sir."

"Sa ..."

'Sir Edric likes brave girls, likes to help, is not stubborn, not rude and virtuous, and most importantly is a defender of the truth,' it comes to Alice's words that Edric does not like stubborn girls.

He bit his lower lip, then slipped the children's hair behind the ear. "Alright, I'm sorry," he said with the sweetest smile to make Edric shudder.

"What's wrong with that girl?" edric muttered after Melysa came out of the room.

Time to go home to college.

The students packed the campus. Some are using their own cars, some are waiting for an invitation.

A man is also waiting for an invitation. Darier Simpson is Edric and Aldric's cousin. The daughter of Bastian Nelson.

Seeing the driver who was waiting on the road, he rushed there. Hurrying because the father asked him to attend an event made him not careful.

Suddenly from the right of a car speeding up, all the students who saw also shouted. Realizing that Darier wanted to dodge, but it was too late. His body instantly bounced a few meters forward.

Blood filled the man's body, as well as his head hitting the pavement. The driver, who was in shock, only ran there after regaining consciousness.

Soon the man was taken to a nearby hospital for help. The perpetrator who turned out to be heavily drunk was not able to run when the police bent him.

Inside the campus Aldric ran towards the brother's room. Although still angry at Edric, but Darier is their cousin. And their aunt Josephine Nelson loved Edric more than she did. So it was better that he went to see Edric instead of having to accept the piercing gaze of the aunt alone.

"Sister, Darier was in an accident" he screeched without seeing Alice sitting on the sofa in the room.

"What's? Come on, let's go there!"

"Alice, go home first!" edric's message and passed following the steps of the younger brother who had already left.

'Sister?' inner Alice was confused.

A few days later.

In a white room, Darier lay weakly on the bed. His fingers moved slightly, his eyes twitching softly.

Slowly her eyelids opened slowly, "Oh, it hurts," she lamented.

Instantly various shadows sprung up in his brain. "Arghhh," he strangled his mother, who looked down at the side of the bed.

"Son, are you aware? Mama will call the doctor first" he said happily and passed from there.

'Mama? Since when do I have a mother?'

His eyes went around, staring at the treatment room that was more like that private room. As soon as he realized, this was his new world.

Flashback.

"Are you sure you want to try this?" ask a man while installing various equipment that will help him survive.

"How else, I need money for my sisters. And you just happened to offer it."

"Well, you can only exit Virtual Life when your mission is complete. And you only have three lives, take good care of it. I don't guarantee you'll survive if all three lives are lost."

"Now close your eyes and imagine a new world you want to go to."

The man closed his eyes, somehow imagining the world of the novel he had just read.

End Flashback.

And here it is now, becoming one of the figures of the novel Belenggu Cinta. 'So, why get into the novel. I should have gone back in time to fix my life. This body also aches all over again, ' he swore in the heart.

A screen suddenly appeared before him.

...If you have a severe injury to your head, your memory will be lost. Do you want to continue. Choose Yes if you are willing, No if you are not willing, but your life will be reduced by one....

Yes No

'Other than this?'

He then pressed the Yes button, his life was too precious to be lost when he could choose to keep it.

The screen changed.

...Mission: Change the ending, save Alice Lawrence....

After a while the screen disappeared and Yosephine entered with several doctors and nurses behind her.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Tbc.
