"Mom, I'm off to work and I will be heading back home late tonight as I am working overnight. Don't wait for me." Derek talked with his aged mother who sat on the chair, looking at his face. She gently grabbed his hands, "I'm sorry you have to juggle jobs all the time just to afford my medicine and I know my request may sound ridiculous, but can you not go to work today. I have a bad feeling about it, please don't go." His mother said with a shaky voice as she struggled to talk.
"Mom, you worry a lot. Nothing will happen to me. As you know, you gave birth to a strong and able child. Nothing can ever harm me." Derek said with a puffed chest in bid to reassure his mother.
"Okay, but remember to be careful." she said, patting his head.
"Okay, okay now stop doing that, I am not a child anymore." He said as he stood up to grab his shoes before heading out.
Derek has been the one taking care of his mother ever since his dad left with another woman claiming his mother was old and soggy. This led to his mother constantly relying on drugs because she could not take the blow.
On getting to work, Derek saw a familiar figure at the entrance, making him frown. He thought of going through the back door but later decided to approach. Avoiding it would only make him look weak.
"What are you doing here?" he asked, annoyed at the intruder's presence, "as long as I remember, this is a public place, and you can't stop people from going and coming." Angela said, flipping her hair backwards.
Derek furrowed his brows with annoyance. He and Angela had dated each other before, and he could have brought the moon down for her, even though her family, the great Donald family, disagreed with their relationship, he still did everything in his power to please her, until the day he caught her pants down with a another man in her apartment, he was so depressed that period and all she could tell him was that he was not rich enough to her standards.
"Suit yourself." Derek snorted before entering the restaurant.
When he got in, he was called by his boss to go deliver some goods, which he happily accepted because he could not stand being stared at by that irritating bitch. The thought alone irked him.
After he left on his delivery scooter, Derek noticed an upcoming trailer heading for him. He shifted from his lane to another, but the trailer followed him as he moved, and the same circle was repeated over and over again.
Derek was sure someone was after his life but before he could swerve again to the other lane, it was already too late, the trailer had already collided with him.
Derek noticed a blurry figure step out of the truck heading towards him, "In your next life stay away from what is not yours," the figure sneered at him. Derek could recognize the voice as the guy with Angela that day.
Derek sincerely regretted not staying at home like his mother said. Maybe he would not have died in such a manner. His mother, he wondered how she would react to the news, he thought, before taking a deep breath and closing his eyes. He opened his eyes again to see a strange stylish roof over his head, making him confused. This wasn't his house, nor did it look like a hospital.
Derek stood up to walk around, then headed to the bathroom, he stood at the door stupefied. Everything there was made of gold and white and was sparkling clean.
Passing the mirror, Derek paused before turning back once more, his mouth hang open in shock as he held his face feeling confused.
This is Richard's face, the idol of country A, Derek stared at the mirror wondering what he was doing with Richard's face and why his eyes were so puffy.
"You died and entered my body, idiot! I can't believe out of all bodies in this world you had to pick my handsome body, and with the way you gawked at my bathroom, I'm sure you're a poor boy. Oh my God! do you know skin care routines? My skin is too delicate not to be taken care of, go back to your body now, you piece of shit. " A voice rang inside Derek's head.
"Who are you?" Derek said with confusion, "I'm the one and only Richard, who else??" The voice said, then two and two pieced together as Derek understood it all.
What only happened in books and movies had happened to him in reality, but why was his so different? Why didn't the spirit of the previous owner vanish completely?
"You wish, I could hear your thoughts, you know. " Richard snorted rudely.
"I didn't know you were such a talkative and curser.'' Derek stated, marveled at this idol's new behavior.
"Well, you have to give the people what they want to see. That's how it works in this industry, but now that you are controlling my body, I can curse as I like. " Richard replied smugly.
"Why Is your eyes this puffy?" Derek threw another question, curiously touching Richard's face.
"Well my fiancée cheated on me with my older brother, and you expect me to be happy, they are even getting married soon, and they want me to give them my blessings, like what the hell! Dude how can I bring myself to bless those that brought me pain?'' Richard explained in a sad voice.
"Sorry, but what are their names though?" Derek asked in a daze, feeling genuinely sorry for Richard as he too had gone through the same pain, "Angela Donald and Joseph Camefolt." Richard replied, with hate in his voice.
"I think I know why we were brought together into the same body. It's because the same people had betrayed us. I was dating Angela before she cheated on me with a guy just because I couldn't afford a bag she liked for her, but I didn't expect her to be such a bitch as this." Derek explained with clenched fists, as he gritted his teeth with anger.
"So it is settled, we are getting our revenge on them." Richard exclaimed, feeling joyful that he would be finally able to get back at those who hurt him.
"I would help you on one condition," Derek stated seriously.
"What?" Song Li asked, wondering what made Derek's mood change.
"You would allow me to go to my body when this is all over, or you would leave if I am already buried." Derek answered. He knew it sounded selfish, but he had to.
"I choose whether or not I'll leave, but if you have not been buried I will go to your body. I need a break from celebrity life." Richard replied in a tired voice.
"Okay then, let's go get our revenge." Derek said, staring straight into the mirror with cold gaze.
