Chapter 2: The Story
When Deanna got into the car, Felicia looked at her in confusion.
"Didn't you say you would celebrate your birthday alone with Austin? Why are you suddenly in the hospital? And what was the result of the examination? Nothing serious, right?" said Felicia, a good friend of Deanna.
"Start the car first, we can talk as we go later." Deanna said while wearing her seat belt.
"Where do you want to go? Wanna go eat?" Felicia asked.
"Just find a place to relax." Dean answered.
"Actually, what happened?" Felicia asked while driving.
"Austin didn't accompany me on my birthday yesterday. Then I drank until I was drunk and accidentally fell asleep in the middle of the road. Passersby thought that I was unconscious from a car crash. So they called the hospital and asked for an ambulance to pick me up. Actually I'm not sick." Deanna explained.
"If Austin doesn't want to accompany you on your birthday, you should call me. Why did you have to go drinking alone?" Felicia said in annoyance.
"Austin and Clara were having an affair behind my back." Deanna said calmly.
Felicia looked with a surprised expression at Deanna and said, "Really? So you're drunk knowing what they're doing?"
Denna was silent and did not answer. Before she was born again, she was drunk because Austin didn't accompany her, not because she knew about the affair. According to the memories of her previous life, she only found out about the two people's affair three years later, when they casually and openly confessed in front of many people that they had been together.
"I feel like there's always something strange between them, but I'm not sure and it's hard to say." Felicia said in an angry tone. "Then what are you going to do now?"
Deanna replied, "In a few days, on Clara's birthday, I'll be giving them an unforgettable gift. But there's still one thing that needs your help."
"What? Just say it."
"I'd like to borrow your family's villa in Park Place, for a birthday party." Deanna said.
After thinking for a moment, Felicia understood Deanna's point and replied, "I see. I will prepare everything for you."
"Felicia…"
Deanna stared ahead and said firmly, "From now on, my thoughts and decisions are controlled by me. I will live my own way."
"Were you previously controlled by someone else?" Felicia asked. The girl was confused by Deanna's words.
Deanna closed her eyes and recalled everything that had happened in her previous life. She used to be a very stupid and pathetic girl.

After Deanna told Felicia all the details of her plan, they went to eat. Next, Felicia drove Deanna back to her house.
Just as Deanna was about to enter the house, Austin's car arrived.
"Deanna!"
Getting out of the car, Clara quickly walked to the side towards Deanna and asked, "Where have you been? Why not pick up the phone call? We've been looking for you everywhere."
Deanna adjusted her expression, then turned around and looked at Clara with a smile, "I went to eat with Felicia. Have you eaten?"
"We…"
Clara glanced at Austin, who was currently walking toward where they were talking. Then she added, "We went looking for you everywhere. So we haven't had time for dinner yet."
Deanna sneered inwardly. She could tell that they had just eaten from the smell on Clara's body.
"What's wrong with you?"
Austin looked at Deanna angrily and said, "Do you think it's fun to make other people worry? You want to drain everyone's attention on you and wait until something goes wrong? You'd be happy if no one cared about you anymore, wouldn't you?"
"Austin, calm down." Said Clara.
The girl grabbed Austin's hand, as was her habit when coaxing the man. She was taken aback by her actions and immediately let go of her grip. She glanced at Deanna and noticed that there was no change in Deanna's expression. Then she pretended to defend Deanna.
"Can't you speak softly? You're obviously very worried about her, but why are you showing it by pretending to be angry now? Can't you be more honest?"
"There's something I want to talk to you about. If you haven't eaten yet, let the chef cook something for you. We'll talk while you eat." Deanna turned and walked in.
"Come on!"
Upon entering the house, Deanna asked the maid to tell the chef in the kitchen to cook Clara's favorite dish. They then sat in the dining room waiting for the food and talked about the birthday party.
"When I went out to eat with Felicia earlier, she found out we were having a birthday party together. And she said he would lend her family's villa in Park Place." Deanna said calmly.
"Is that true?" Clara felt a little surprised, then smiled and said, "Looks like he thinks of you as a friend, to the point of being willing to lend Park Place villa for a birthday party."
"My family has villas in the mountains, beaches and even private islands, some in Central London. Or we could have a celebration at my family's hotel. No need to borrow their Park Place villa for a birthday party." Said Austin.
Clara had visited the villa in the Park Place area owned by the Felicia family with Deanna before. She liked the villa and had wanted to borrow it for a few days for inspiration. But Felicia immediately rejected it because the villa could not be borrowed by someone else. The reason Felicia didn't lend was that she didn't like Clara. But for Deanna's sake, she never said it.
Clara, who had been rejected several times, was very disappointed and told Austin about it. Austin felt Felicia was very arrogant. It was just a small villa for Austin, but she refused to lend it, even if only for a few days. Because of that, he began to hate Felicia Owen.
One will crave what one cannot get. In Deanna's previous life, Clara was obsessed with the Owen family's Park Place villa. Austin then does various devious ways to get the villa for Clara's sake.
Deanna would not allow the same thing to happen in her current life.
"It's true that parties can be held anywhere, but this is a birthday present from Felicia. She had very good intentions, so I couldn't possibly refuse her. And I think Clara also really likes the villa, so I casually accepted it." Deanna said.
The girl then looked at Clara and said, "Since we're going to celebrate a birthday together, it would be best to do it in a place we both like. What do you think?"
Clara nodded in agreement and said, "You're right. Since it doesn't feel good to reject Felicia's kindness, we celebrate at the Owen family's villa."
Austin saw that Clara was eager to celebrate her birthday at the Owens' Park Place villa. So he didn't say anything else.
After the food was served, Deanna said with concern, "You must be hungry, let's eat! Sorry, I didn't realize that the cell phone battery was running out, so that made you look for me everywhere. So eat a lot."
Deanna continued to get food for the two people in front of her while discussing the preparations for the birthday party. Austin and Clara were full, but they had to pretend they hadn't eaten because they had to find Deanna. So they can only force themselves to eat.
After Austin returned, Clara reasoned that she was tired and went to her room to rest. Her stomach felt so uncomfortable that she had to take medicine for digestion.
Deanna looked at the food on the almost-gone table and sneered. She immediately got up and went to her room to clean himself.
*
A few days later, on Clara's birthday, she received a call from Felicia very early in the morning. She informed that everything was ready and just waiting for them to come.
This time Deanna and Clara were going to celebrate a birthday together, so apart from their friends, Austin invited some of his friends to come.
Many luxury cars have been parked in the parking area of the Owen family's Park Place villa.
As soon as Deanna entered the villa, Felicia took them to a place prepared for a birthday celebration.
"Thank you for your hard work, Felicia." Clara said with a smile.
"You're welcome, this is a birthday present from me to you and Deanna. But let me tell you something, I didn't prepare any other gifts." Felicia said jokingly.
"This is better than any gift." Clara answered, feeling touched.
"Come on, I'll take you to the room upstairs."
Once on the top floor, Felicia opened the room door, "From this room, we can see at least half of the night view in London. While bathing or lying down at night, we can see the moon and stars. You can see this glass from the inside, but you can't see what's inside from the outside. So, you can do anything, even if you want to sleep naked. But there is only one room like this. So, which of you will be sleeping here tonight?"
Deanna looked around the room, then at Clara, and said in a tone of love, sounding a little sad.
"Even though it's a birthday celebration for both of us, it's actually your birthday. So, I'll let you stay in this room."
"Is that true?"
Clara suppressed the joy in her heart and said, "If you want to stay here, you don't have to leave it to me."
"Isn't this just a glass room? Why do you have to let it go?" Austin folded his arms and looked at Clara from the front door.
"Since Deanna has asked you to stay, so stay here. There's no need for small talk between the two of you."
Austin saw that Clara wanted to occupy this room. So he acted like he was Deanna and let Clara occupy her.
