"Let's be honest, Rize is hot," Rudy stated. "Almost all the students in this school have a crush on her, but because of her strict nature, no one dares to approach her," Rudy said with a soft chuckle. "But I did."
'That's true. Honestly, I also thought she was a scary person, but after seeing her getting red when you mentioned the word kiss, my thoughts on her suddenly changed,' Angelica said as she got out of Rudy's body.
"Wait, since how long have you been awake?" Rudy asked with a curious yet calm look on his face.
"I woke up around the time you left for the staff room," Angelica answered. "I felt your emotions and heartbeats rising, so it interrupted my sleep."
Angelica ran around the classroom and said, "So, what's her story?"
"I wouldn't have kissed her if it was some other girl. But Rize is special," Rudy uttered with a smile on his face.
"Yeah, you already said that. Now stop smiling and tell me her story! I am curious!" Angelica demanded.
Angelica was curious to know about others. She herself didn't have any past memories, so she enjoyed knowing about others.
"Let me start from her family background first." Rudy sat on his seat and continued, "She is from a traditional family, so she grew up in a strict environment."
"Now I know the reason why her nature is strict," Angelica remarked.
"She was sent to a female boarding school, and she wasn't allowed to make any friends, not even female friends. She was also prohibited from talking with the boys whenever she returned to her home for vacation," Rudy stated.
"That explains why her face went red. She doesn't have any experience with boys. If she grew up in a strict environment, then most likely, she doesn't have any adult knowledge either," Angelica remarked.
"She actually does. I mean…" Rudy shrugged his shoulders and said, "Girls are perverts too, you know?"
Angelica dodged the topic and said, "Then, what happened?"
"Basically, her parents planned to marry her off once she had finished her high school, but Rize said she wanted to study more. Of course, her parents denied and said they wouldn't pay her fees."
After a brief pause, Rudy continued, "So she got scholarships and completed her higher studies. Her parents didn't like that. They gave her a deadline and told her that she would have to leave everything behind."
"How could someone do that to their own child?" Angelica muttered in disbelief.
"Beats me," Rudy sighed. "Rize's internship ends after six months. After that, she would leave and never return."
"...!"
"In my previous life, I was studying in the town library during my final year of high school. I ran into Rize… or rather, she approached me," Rudy chuckled. "She had become more beautiful in that one year."
"We talked for a while. She also helped me study for the entire day, and then we went home together."
"And then you had lots of sex?" Angelica quipped.
"No…" Rudy furrowed his brows at Angelica and asked, "Why are you acting like a pervert?"
"What else could happen if you run into your crush after a year and spend time together? I just said what I thought might have happened," Angelica shrugged.
"Let me continue…" Rudy sighed. "We were walking to the park while talking, and Rize suddenly said, 'Close your eyes'."
"I closed my eyes, and I felt something soft touching my lips after that," Rudy said with a wry smile on his face. "When I opened my eyes, I saw Rize running off."
Rudy looked at his hand and muttered, "I regretted not chasing after that day…"
"What happened after that?" Angelica asked with a curious yet calm look on her face.
"She got married the next month…"
"Oh…"
"But that's not the problem," Rudy frowned. "She was killed by her husband on their honeymoon. He choked her to death."
"... wow…"
"And you know what's funny?" Rudy gritted his teeth and said, "The husband wasn't charged with any crime."
"Was there no evidence against him?" Angelica wondered.
"No. His fingerprints were all over Rize's neck," Rudy responded in a disdainful tone.
"So.. was he from a rich background or something?"
"Yes. But that's not why he wasn't punished." Rudy bit his lips and said," He said, 'Rize asked me to choke her during sex, and maybe I choked her too hard.' He was announced innocent because there was no solid proof. And plus, he was rich, so everything was settled quickly. No one talked about it afterward. Not even the media and everything was taken down from the internet."
"But… what if… he was telling the truth?" Angelica murmured in a low voice.
"Her neck was broken! Who chokes someone that hard?! Even I had done rough play with my girlfriend. And I know how choking works." Rudy took a deep breath and said, "And I wasn't even aware of this incident until after three months of that incident."
"But I swear…" Rudy looked at his hand and formed a fist as he said, "I will crush that motherfucker!"
"Do you know who he is?"
Rudy shook his head and said, "As I said, the matter was settled very quickly, and everything about it was removed. All I knew was her parents sold her off to a rich businessman in a party that will happen six months from now."
Rudy looked at his closed fist and said, "So all I have to do is make Rize fall in love with me in six months and go to that party where she got engaged. There, I will show my wrath to her parents and that shit who killed her!"
"What will you do?" Angelica asked with a curious look on her face.
"You will have to wait for that," Rudy responded with a vicious smirk on his face.
Angelica squinted her eyes and said, "That smirk doesn't suit you."
"You are the one to talk…" Rudy scoffed with a sigh.
