Escaping From My Past
EP 1
People were shouting these words while some were looking at the woman kneeling on the platform covered with injuries and mud
The woman who was once known for her beauty and viciousness was now kneeling Infront of everyone and looking down with emotionless eyes
Footsteps came towards her and she looked up only to see the man she loved her whole life...her husband and the father of her dead child
He was looking at her with eyes filled with nothing but hate and disgust
The woman looked at him with eyes void of emotions as if she had accepted her cruel fate and was ready to die
Maximilian De Angelo/Crown prince
*Said in cold voice*
Maximilian De Angelo/Crown prince
Crystal De Salvatore...you are proven to attempt murder on your sister Juliet De Salvatore
Maximilian De Angelo/Crown prince
In punishment to this heinous crime you are sentenced to death
Maximilian De Angelo/Crown prince
Do you have anything to say?
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
* Looked at him with emotionless eyes *
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
I loved you
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
I loved every single person in my family
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
And yet this is what I get
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
Death
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
For trying to get their love which was supposed to be rightfully mine
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
I regret
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
I regret spending my life in trying to please you all
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
You guys never deserved to be loved , you never deserved to be my love
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
You all are nothing but heartless basters who would rather believe an outsider than your own family
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
If
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
If I get another chance..I swear that I will never love any of you
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
I would never try to please you...I would never lose myself in becoming someone that you would like
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
I hate all of you ....I hate every single one of you
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
And I hate that so-called kind angel Juliet De Salvatore the most
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
You hear me... I HATE YOU THE MOST
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
* Shouted while looking at that pest's direction*
Maximilian De Angelo/Crown prince
* Became more livid*
Maximilian De Angelo/Crown prince
Crystal De Salvatore, You are nothing but a sinner who deserves to rot in hell
Maximilian De Angelo/Crown prince
Don't you dare rise your voice at the victim
Maximilian De Angelo/Crown prince
And about the second chance, an evil being like you doesn't deserve it
As he said this , he rose his sword and directly stabbed Crystal in her heart
She felt a sharp pain and as she looked at the direction where her family was standing looking at her with nothing but cold eyes.. She felt even more hurt
All her life, she ran behind then to get their love
She did everything that will make them give her a slight bit of their affection, but no
They never cared about her, she would be sick and they wouldn't care , she would be injured and they wouldn't care , she was bullied and yet they never did anything to stop those
But if her so-called sister Juliet would even get a scratch or slight cold then...they will turn the whole Duchy upside down
Her adopted sister whom the Grand duke brought after her only family member, her father died while protecting him
She welcomed her with wide arms and shared everything with her , but that little piece of sh*t was so greedy that the more she was given the more she wanted
And just like this she snatched everything from Crystal...from her family to her lover and even her life
She looked at her direction only to see a victorious smile on her face as if her long awaited wish has finally been fulfilled
Crystal looked at all the family members and then her so-called husband and saw that none of them were even slight bit hurt for her
And only one thought came in her mind
" If I ever get a second chance, I won't crave for their attention..I will love myself and will live for only and only myself"
And with this thought she finally closed her eyes... Forever

A girl was sleeping peacefully when she jolted upwards
Beads of sweat covered her entire face and with shaky hands she wiped them off
She looked at her surroundings in astonishment, not able to understand what happened
She immediately got out of the bed but due to her weak body she fell on the ground
But she didn't give up, and she stood up with difficulty and went to the mirror
She looked at herself with shaky breath , she brought her hand to her face tracing her cheek which was supposed to have a huge scar
But nothing except the rosy pink cheeks were there
Then she looked at her hands which were supposed to have burn marks, but now they were as smooth and soft as cotton
The girl again looked at herself not believing what happened, she pinched herself to confirm whether it was a dream or reality
She finally understood what happened
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
* In a low voice*
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
I am back
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
I really am back
She said this again and again making sure that what she was thinking was right until her beautiful face broke into a huge smile
Crystal stood up from the chair and moved around the room which she lived in until she became 18 and then moved into the hell she chose herself
After she turned 18 she married the crown prince whom she loved dearly, and yet she was killed by his hands
The hellish life she lived in that castle came into her mind, and she remembered all the things she went through
Tears ran down her cheeks, remembering how her own family didn't care when she died
How her unborn child was killed before he could even see the world and how she was disfigured by her own husband's hands
She wiped those tears, thinking to herself
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
( No, No)
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
( I won't cry for those people , they don't deserve it)
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
( I will become strong, strong enough to protect myself and live my life happily)
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
( I have been given a second chance just like I wished for and this time I won't waste it on those people)
With these thoughts in mind she went to the window
She looked out of it , calming her mind and sorting out her thoughts
She was still in her own world when the door opened and two people came in
Luna/ FL maid
* Looked at FL surprised*
Ella / FL maid
* Looked at FL surprised*
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
* Turned her head towards them and smiled while a few tears drop came out of her eyes*
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
You guys are here?
Luna/ FL maid
Young miss, you woke up?
Ella / FL maid
Why didn't you call us , young miss?
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
* Smiled and came to them*
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
* Hugged them tightly*
Luna/ FL maid
* Surprised but hugged back *
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
( In my last life , you died for me)
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
( But this time I won't let it happen)
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
( I will love you and care for you the same way you did for me)
Luna/ FL maid
* Patting her back*
Luna/ FL maid
Young miss, are you ok?
Ella / FL maid
Did something happen?
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
*Still hugging them*
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
No , just felt like hugging you
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
* Let go of the hug*
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
Anyways, can you prepare a bath for me?
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
I fell sticky
Luna/ FL maid
Sure young miss
Ella / FL maid
Sure young miss
Then they went to prepare bath for her while Crystal was sitting on her bed
After a while she went inside the bathroom to get fresh
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
* While bathing*
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
( According to my memory, there are a few lands that were supposed to be useless , but when I turned 20 those lands were found to have large resources)
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
( One of them belonged to Baron Hubert and the other one was from North)
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
( And since I have come back to the time I was 16)
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
( Those resources are still not found yet)
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
( I can buy that land and also start some business so when I leave this hell I will be able to provide for myself)
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
( I should also start learning fighting, in my last life I wanted to learn swordsmanship but Fat--- No I mean the Grand Duke didn't allow me to)
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
( And in the end when I was assassinated and none of my knights protected me I got severally injured and even my child....my child died)
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
* Put her palm on her belly*
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
* Few tears slipped remembering how happy she was when she heard she said she is pregnant*
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
( I wasn't able to protect myself nor my child ...but this time I will protect all of my loved ones)
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
( I also remember how I wasn't able to use magic, but when I was locked in that dark cell)
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
( I remember I saw purple light coming from my hands)
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
( Which means that I was indeed able to use magic but someone diliberately made me unable to use magic)
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
( I should research on this matter)
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
( I will ask for brother Jeffrey's help in managing my business and I will go to the library to find books regarding my magic)
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
( I should also start finding those people who rose to fame in upcoming years)
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
( I will make them work for me because right now all of them are in tough positions and in this way I will be able to monopolize the most influential people of the future)
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
( Yes .... that's it)
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
( I really am a genius, don't know how I couldn't solve my problems in my last life)
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
(F*CK)
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
( Love really makes people become dumb)
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
( Anyway, this time I will use this big brain of mine to the fullest)
Crystal came out of the bath after a long time , especially since she wanted to get cleaned thoroughly
She realized that after staying in a dirty cell and getting covered with dirt and sweat she has become a huge clean freak
As she had become extremely sensitive to the smell of sweat, and it makes her nauseous
EP 3
Crystal was in the balcony
Enjoying the cold breeze that was touching her smooth skin
How she missed this feeling
Of being out in fresh air
Crystal was thinking about how foolish she was to ignore all these blessings and running behind her family and the Crown prince even when she would get thoroughly humiliating
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
Just what was I thinking ?
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
Did I really need my family to be happy?
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
Did I really need the crown prince to feel loved?
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
Did I really need to be submissive to get my family's love?
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
I got a second chance and I won't waste on those uselessness people
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
Thank you Thank you so much for fulfilling my wish, Almighty
Crystal heard the knock on the door and came in her room allowing the person to come in
Luna/ FL maid
* Came in with food*
Ella / FL maid
* Followings her*
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
* Smiled and sat on the table*
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
Thank you
Luna/ FL maid
No problem young miss
After setting the food they went out
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
* Eating*
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
It's good
After Crystal finished eating she called her maids in
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
* Looking at them*
Luna/ FL maid
* Standing while head down in respect*
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
Ella
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
Luna
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
If I say that I want to get out of this house, leaving behind the name of Salvatore and live as a commoner
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
Will you come with me?
Luna/ FL maid
* Too shocked to say anything*
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
( I guess, the answer is no)
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
* Chuckled sadly*
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
It's ok if you don't ----
Luna/ FL maid
* Cut her off*
Luna/ FL maid
It's not like that, we were just surprised hearing this
Ella / FL maid
Yes miss, we would never leave you alone
Ella / FL maid
Whether you are a noble or a commoner, you will always remain the girl who grew up Infront of our eyes
Luna/ FL maid
We would follow you even if you wanted to go to hell, so why will we not stay by your side if you want to go away from the Duchy
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
*Smiled*
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
( Yeah , how can I forget they welcomed death with open arms for me)
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
( But not this time, I will not let them die)
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
* Looking at them*
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
Are you sure about this decision?
Luna/ FL maid
* Confidently*
Luna/ FL maid
Yes Young Miss
Ella / FL maid
* Confidently*
Ella / FL maid
Yes Young Miss
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
Ok then, you will have to be prepared to leave this house in 2 years
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
I will cut off my ties with them when I turn 18, and then we will leave
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
And yeah don't let anyone know about this, I don't want unnecessary troubles, even though I know that ...that so-called family of mine who not even bat an eye to this decision of mine
Luna/ FL maid
* Felt bad for her*
Ella / FL maid
* Felt bad for her*
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
* Laughed lightly*
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
Don't be sad
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
You should be happy that I have finally given up on them, and now I will live my life for myself
Luna/ FL maid
* Smiled hearing how optimistic she was*
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
Now you can go and tell brother Jeffrey to meet me
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
I will tell you guys my plan, and then we will start preparing
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
And yeah stop calling me "Miss" and "Young miss"
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
You are like my sisters, so I want you to call me by my name
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
No buts
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
Either you call me by my name or get ignored by me
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
The choice is yours
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
* Said like a stubborn child*
Luna/ FL maid
*Sighed helplessly*
Ella / FL maid
*Sighed helplessly*
Ella / FL maid
Fine Mi--- I mean Crystal
Luna/ FL maid
Yes we will all you Crystal
Luna/ FL maid
Looks like , she finally gave up
Ella / FL maid
Well it's good, those people don't deserve her and her love
Ella / FL maid
She still has her whole life ahead of her, and it's good that she has started to think of herself rather than those people who didn't care about her even when she was in coma for last 3 weeks
Crystal was in a coma for 3 weeks because of high fever and doctors were even saying that it will be hard for her to get up again
But her family didn't come to meet her even once rather they were enjoying their time with Juliet
And in her last life the moment she woke up she went to greet her family only to get ignored and then the cheery on top
Juliet accused her of slapping her, and thus she was ground for 2 weeks and wasn't able to get proper food
And because of this she became extremely weak and would get sick frequently after that
Luna/ FL maid
You are right
Luna/ FL maid
Well I will go and call brother you take the dishes to the kitchen and also inform the butler that she has waken up
Ella / FL maid
Do you think that the Grand duke would care?
Luna/ FL maid
No, not really but still it's better if they know
Luna/ FL maid
And also get the butler to call the doctor, so he can check up on Crystal
Ella / FL maid
Yeah got it
Then they went their separate ways
Crystal was reading a book totally immersed in it when the door got knocked
Jeffrey/FL sworn bro, right hand man
* Smiled brightly*
Jeffrey/FL sworn bro, right hand man
Hello there my princess
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
* Smiled back*
Crystal De Salvatore/FL

Crystal De Salvatore/FL

Jeffrey/FL sworn bro, right hand man
* Nodded his head*
Jeffrey/FL sworn bro, right hand man
( Is it just me, or is she a bit different?)
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
Brother if I tell you that I want to cut off my ties with this family and leave this place
Crystal De Salvatore/FL

Crystal De Salvatore/FL

Jeffrey/FL sworn bro, right hand man

She then stood up and rung the bell to call her maids
After they came in all of them sat down
Crystal brought out a map and placed it on the table
Crystal De Salvatore/FL

Jeffrey/FL sworn bro, right hand man

Crystal De Salvatore/FL

Crystal De Salvatore/FL

Crystal De Salvatore/FL
Now....
She stood up and went to her bed
She bent down and pulled out a chest
Opening it, there were alot of hold coins that she saved from the allowance she got from the Duchy
And even though her family never cared for her they did give her enough money to spend, but she didn't as she didn't have anything to spend it on apart from some necessary items and gifts from them
But still even if she got money she was still not given even half of what her siblings got showing the biased nature of her parents
Crystal took the coins and put them in few bags and wrote chits Sticking one on each bag
She then took the bags and gave them to Jeffrey
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
This is the money you will use to buy the lands and shops
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
Also get some interior designers to work for renovation of shops as I want to use my designs for the interior
Crystal De Salvatore/FL
