I was trapped in the water. Besides, he tied up my limbs, so I could not move.

If my senses were not switched, I would feel very comfortable soaking in water. But as usual, all I felt was terribly hot.

A few men grabbed some ice cubes and kept stuffing them into my mouth.

“Rachel, I heard that you always claim it’s hot. Let me help you cool down. Hahaha!”

“I’ve got an even better way! Let me try it out with you at night.”

“Hey, do you want to keep her to yourself?”

“No, I don’t have the guts. Why don’t we have some fun with her tonight…”

The men came up with one scary idea after another. Max finally spoke up to stop them.

“That’s enough!”

The men immediately stopped talking but kept leering at me, which was disgusting.

Max stood by the pool and looked down at me. He felt pity for me.

“Dear, be good. Stop acting up. It’ll be fine after a while.”

He sounded like he wanted the best for me, which was revolting.

I knew what he meant. After I passed away in my previous life, my corpse started rotting, but my spirit lingered in the air and could not move on.

Someone finally opened the door of my bedroom two months after my passing.

Wendy covered her nose and looked contemptuous as she had someone carry my corpse away.

When she was left alone, she said, “System, let’s cancel the senses-switching feature for now. Oh, Rachel! The most important purpose of your life is to help me become a famous streamer. I’ve succeeded, so you can leave now.”

I finally realized that she was the reason behind all the strange conditions of my body.

When she became a famous streamer, she would switch it back. Besides, Max claimed that things would be fine after a while.

No, I would not agree to that!

“Max, the thing I regret the most in my life is dating you!”

I had dated the wrong guy and hurt myself. But I would not easily let them off the hook in this life.

The pity Max showed for me vanished. Instead, wickedness shone in his eyes.

He recalled how everyone called him a weak man who relied on me after he started dating me. He felt that no one could tolerate my bad temper except for him.

“Since you’re this stubborn, I’ll leave you in the water.”

Being trapped in the water, I felt the heat on my face and suffocation from the water at the same time. My skin felt swollen from soaking in water.

I screamed with all my might, but there was no response.

Max’s friends sneered and said, “Stop yelling! It’s useless!”

“Hey, she’s trying to attract our attention. Her voice is so attractive. Oh, I’m aroused!”

I flew into a rage. Finally, I fainted.

When I woke up, I still felt suffocating hotness. In the next second, I realized that I was in the basement.

Max stood at the door and said indifferently, “Rachel, this basement has a temperature of 60.8 °F all year round. You need to stay here for a month.”

Then, he looked away and left.

When the heavy door slammed shut, I angrily threw everything beside me at the wall and made a loud crashing sound.

I pinched the diamond bracelet around my left wrist firmly and was ready to make a move.

Suddenly, the surveillance camera on the wall flashed. My heart skipped a beat as I immediately stopped. I pretended to be scared as I looked at the wall.

The screen on the wall suddenly lit up.

Wendy appeared quite pleased as she looked at me provocatively on the screen.

“Rachel, how’s your holiday? I’m so jealous of you! I wasn’t so lucky because I had to deliver water to those pitiful, low-class people under the hot sun.”

Her words were full of disdain. I closed my eyes because I did not want to look at her face.

However, she grew more excited and kept showing off.

“When I become a famous streamer, I’ll buy you a meal! After all, you’ve helped me immensely.”

Smugness and excitement gripped her.

I sneered and said, “Wendy, the things you stole from others will never be yours.”

Wendy laughed pretentiously as if she had heard the most hilarious joke ever. “Rachel, you’re still unwilling to give in! Did I ever steal anything from you? How ridiculous! If a trash woman like you hadn’t snatched my brother away, I would have never targeted you!”

I frowned and finally realized the truth. At that moment, I recalled all the strangeness in my past.

Wendy hid in her room the first time I went to Max’s house. It gave Max’s parents a difficult time. They said, “She’s willful.”

I believed them. After that, I always bought Wendy gifts whenever I went shopping just to ease our relationship.

But she cut them into pieces and threw them into the trash.

Whenever I met with Max’s friends, I could always feel some hostility from them. It was confusing for me.

“Wendy, this is your last warning. If you keep using that weird trick, I’ll make sure you suffer,” I said seriously.

But she did not listen to me. She purposely fished her phone out in front of me and made a call.

She sounded very coy. “Max, I’m so mad! I told Rachel that I wanted to buy her a meal. But she warned me that she’ll give me a hard time…”

Her lies were full of loopholes. But Max used a gentle and doting tone with her that I had never heard before.

“It’s okay, Wendy. When that woman loses her value, I’ll sell her to the people in the mountains to let you vent your anger.”

Hearing that, my mind went blank. Although I had long known what kind of person Max was, I still felt bitter when I listened to his wicked and outlandish words.

I clenched my fist, and my fingernails dug into my palms, but I felt no pain.

After all, nothing could be as excruciating as the pain that had broken my heart.

Wendy smirked. “Did you see? My brother thinks you’re nothing compared to me!”

Then, the screen turned off before a deep silence enveloped me.

I clenched my fists and pushed down my humiliation. After that, I said something to the GPS alarm disguised as a diamond bracelet.

“Come and pick me up.”

Somebody secretly rescued me.

The next day, I would be boarding a plane to the South Pole. I rushed toward the airport.

When Max woke up the next day, he grew anxious, as if something was about to get out of control. But he could not recall what it was.

He carried some breakfast and opened the door to the basement. His heart sank when he realized that I was gone.

When my phone rang, I had already completed the boarding procedures. I did not block his number.

Instead, I happily watched as he repeatedly called me. I could imagine how anxious he was.

When I reached my destination, I wasted no time and video-called Wendy.

“Hi! Surprise! Can you guess where I am?”

Wendy felt like she was freezing and was about to faint.
