Chapter 3 - "Journal"

"Yes, I have found something related to the past of the woman who is similar to me, I am currently reading a book from the perspective of someone who is related to that woman!" said Monica in phone call with Elshe

"Okay, see you later!" said Monica then hung up

After that, she then opened Nicholas' heirloom box and saw what was inside, she found a book that looked clean but was vintage.

When it was opened, it turned out to be Lauren's diary. It turned out that Lauren had a hobby of writing a diary. She always wrote down events that happened to her.

At that time Monica was sitting in a café trying to read the two books from the perspective of two different people.

...Early 1910s, City Z...

"See you tomorrow!" said Lauren waving at Juliet and Nicholas and then get on her bicycle

Lauren, even though she is a rich person's, she always cycles home by herself. But that afternoon she was unlucky, she suddenly accidentally punctured her tire and had a hole in it in the middle of the road, she had an accident.

At that time she panicked because she suddenly fell, but suddenly there was a guy behind her, and it turned out that the guy was Ryan.

That was the first time she saw Ryan, and immediately fell in love with him, as soon as Ryan helped her she was only fixated on him.

"Are you alright?" ask Ryan to Lauren looking concern

"Yes, I'm fine, thank you very much for helping me!" said Lauren smiling at Ryan

Ryan looked at her worriedly because her knee was bleeding, but she just said it was okay.

But Ryan finally helped her bandage her wound near the end of the road, it was so quiet and peaceful, just like how first love feels.

...Flash End...

"That's how I fell in love with him!" read Monica while sipping her coffee sitting next to the coffee shop window

While reading, she saw a portrait of Nicholas and Juliet she was shocked because Lauren had stuck them both in her diary.

After that, She continued to several pages related to Lauren's journal, and finally she planned to go to the mansion that Ryan bought after the two of them finally became a couple and engaged.

She had read countless stories about Lauren, from when she first pursued her love for Ryan, then helped Ryan in his business career, until she finally became a huge success.

The house turned out to be a historic house, the mansion could be said to be quite cursed, many bad things have happened there.

Such as the serial murder of the servants, the car accident of the newlyweds, and finally the serial killer who once tried to commit murder there.

"So this is the mansion that was told in the journal, it looks very grand and vintage!" said Monica stepped inside the bush

She looked around and found a well that looked old, but she ignored it and just walked away.

She had read all of Nicholas and Lauren's journals, but they had both stopped writing diaries since they were past 1919.

She wondered how she was supposed to continue the last part of Lauren's biography without finding out how Lauren died and what happened to her before she died.

She photographed the building to include in Lauren's biography along with the photos' studio. Monica then walked around to see if there was anything that could give her a clue.

"Ironically I am a descendant of Ryan and Marie!" said Monica feeling a bit guilty

But while walking she accidentally tripped over a rock, and then she sank into the old well. She then fell unconscious in the well.

Suddenly when she opened her eyes she was in a very strange place.

"Doctor, she's conscious, take a look at her!" said a woman with a panicking voice

"Are you okay, Miss Lu?" ask a doctor to her

"Yes I'm fine, what happened to me?" ask Monica confused

"You were reading in the garden when you accidentally stumbled into a well!" said a woman dressed in a formal servant kind of look

"Who are you?" ask Monica sat up in bed

"I'm Marie, did Miss forget?" said Marie to Monica with a smile

Shocked, Monica, who was still half-conscious, immediately came to conscious, because she just realized that she was talking to Marie Zhang, a woman who died decades ago, besides that she also see the vintage nuance around the room.

"Miss, are you alright?" ask Marie to Monica

"Yes, I am fine!" said Monica in disbelief

She immediately tried to find her cellphone and some diaries along with her camera photos, she searched, but none of those things were there, she didn't even know what time it was, what date it was, what day it was.

"Have I time traveled, this is impossible, is this part of a family curse?" muttered Monica to herself

"Miss, are you okay, You've been looking for something, what are you looking for?" ask Marie to Monica confused

"What day is today, what year and what date is it?" ask Monica seems in a rush

"Today is June 20, 1920!" said Marie to Monica

"Damn I really did time travel now what should I do to get back to the original world?" ask Monica to herself in confusion

"Miss, are you okay?" ask Marie looking very concern

"Yes, I am fine!" said Monica smile back
