Chapter 2

"No no no this cannot happen I just died in the hospital and now I'm in this world of everything goes according to the story then I will have to die once again very soon I can't let this happen."

In the room Ai was alone sitting in the same position with her head down, "If I remember correctly in this story Ai is a side character whose parents died when she was very small or to be exact they were killed by her uncle the younger brother of her father. Since then, she lived with her uncle and aunt who treated her like trash from the very beginning what else to expect from the killers of her parents. They made her do every work and to others showed they cared for her. And now one day when an offer of marriage came from that old man they want to use her to join connections with the royal family."

" I need to get out of here but how? Since the assistant came to deliver the dress this means that the marriage will be tomorrow so I don't have much time I need to do something. I need to think something quickly"

This caused Ai to panic and the dress from her hand started to slip a little. Seeing this her hands moved unintentionally to hold the dress. After stopping the dress from falling her mind went blank and she started staring at her hands.

"I... I was never able to move my hands not even a single finger h.. how did I do this? Yes I remember now Ai wasn't a quadriplegic no everybody is not quadriplegic how stupid I am. Wait so this means th.. th...that I can stand as well and walk and run and do everything I want on my own as well. No this cannot be real I must be dreaming I must be imagining things. If this is real I should try to stand up. "

Ai slowly lifted her head up looked around, took a deep breath and then mustered the courage to the most challenging yet the most desired task of her life. She kept the clothes on the ground put one hand on the ground to support herself and slowly tried to lift herself up. Scared as she was she stopped not knowing what to do if she falls, not knowing if this was a dream and it will end as she falls and she will again wake up in the hospital and will soon end up on the wheelchair like always. She was scared, she was nervous, she was panicking all of this could be seen on her face. But just a moment later she showed a little determination took a deep breath again and tried getting up keeping one hand on the ground supporting herself she was slowly getting up. She could feel the power in her legs which she never did and then after god knows how long which felt like an eternity which was a very short yet a very long time she stood up on her own two feet.

She was looking at the ground at her surroundings from the top of her height she never knew she could things from here she never knew she could come so high up from the ground yet here she was standing. Tears started rolling down her cheeks.

Now she slowly lifted her right leg and put it one small step forward, paused took a deep breath and did the same with her left leg and continued the process of taking these small steps and enjoyed herself walking for the first time.

She was in her own world enjoying walking inside the room but her joy was short lived as the door opened and her uncle and aunt entered the room. Seeing her standing looking at them surprisingly her aunt shouted

"Ai what are you doing here playing like a little girl tomorrow is your marriage there is still a lot of work to do and you are simply wasting your time." Her aunt paused looked at the ground and ran towards were the clothes were lying and started shouting with even a louder and harsher voice

"WHAT WHY DID YOU THROW THESE CLOTHES ON THE GROUND YOU FOOL? They are from the royal palace for you to wear during tomorrow's ceremony and you, what are you thinking are you out of your mind?"

Her uncle was also looking at her angrily from behind. Ai looked towards both of them closed her eyes for a second and when she opened them she spoke

"I am against this marriage. I don't want to marry that old man." Her eyes filled with determination and her voice with firmness as she spoke these words.

Her aunt's face twisted with anger her blood boiled as she looked towards Ai. Her uncle started rushing towards her

BAM!!!

Ai fell on the ground her left hand covering her left cheek as it turned completely red tears filled her eyes but they did not escape as her uncle roared

"WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU FOOL? DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT?"

Her uncle bent down grabbed Ai's hair and forced her to look up so she can look in his eyes

"Old or not he is the younger brother of the king marrying him means we will become a part of the royal family so, shut your mouth and do as you are told. Did you forget the fact that I have fed you every day of your life? You owe me without me you would have long been dead on the streets. So be quiet and do as you are told otherwise I will kill peel your skin and kill you. "

" Enough if you lose control and do something to her face then it will be not good for us tomorrow. " Her aunt said.

" Then tell this fool to keep her mouth shut. " The uncle roared back. He then stormed out of the room furiously.

Ai now was sobbing lightly still trying hold her tears from overflowing the hair in front of her head was now also a mess. Seeing her condition for a few moments her aunt spoke with a firm tone and cold eyes

"You heard your uncle don't make me repeat it and don't make any mistakes tomorrow. Now go to your room. "

Now her aunt also left the room along with the clothes leaving Ai crying alone. She said to herself

"No after all these years I can finally walk. I got a second chance in life so that I can see the world, so that I can do what I want to do. I won't spend this life crying and regretting. Nobody can stop me from living my life not this uncle, not this aunt, not the royal family no one."
