2024-10-29 19:42:56“Surrogate… Evely…”
Both Francis and Liz looked at her in shock.
“You knew…”
Evie nodded. This time, she had to lie. She couldn’t very well tell them that she had seen Evely’s previous life before, and knew some events and secrets that were still hidden around this time. This year, she’s still eighteen years old, five years before the original Evely and Evie died.
In the original timeline, after returning from the kidnapping, Evely was more hostile to her stepmother. She was more and more obnoxious and acerbic when speaking to her which led to another huge argument between father and daughter. Evely ended up leaving the house, since she was eighteen and she had money of her own from her mother, not knowing th

“Wow…”Evie was amazed. Evely’s life was on the same level as those dramas she watched on the magic box— er television.“That’s why dad did not want you to know…” Francis' voice choked. “If I could, I would do everything to change the past…”Evie reached out and placed a finger against her father’s lips, silencing him.“Legitimate or not— this doesn’t change the fact that I am your daughter and you are my father,” she said, making both her parents stare at her with teary eyes. “Besides, with you as my dad and Liz as my mom, who would dare look down on me?”Evie puffed out her chest, looking very proud, making h
REBORN: Gemini 0016 Normandy
Normandy was one of the oldest established regions in the North of France. It had a long coastline with white-chalk cliffs that made it a preferred landing spot and beachhead during the second world war. One of the said beaches was Omaha Beach, the famous landing site of D Day. Just off its coast was one of the country’s most famous tourist spots, the island where the great gothic abbey of Mon-Saint-Michel was built. The City of Rouen, Normandy’s prefecture, was one of the largest cities in medieval ages. It boasted the gothic style cathedral, where the hero Joan of Arc was executed in 1431. Even though it had been affected by the Hundred Years War between France and England, it remained a majestic city. Since the abolishment of the monarchy, most of the noble families switched into businesses, making most of them retain their huge estates and properties. On
REBORN: Gemini 0017 The de la Roche of Rouen
“Cecille?”At the mention of the name, Cedric de la Roche placed his elbows on the table and clasped his hands together like a tent as he bowed. Ralph and Isaac looked on in worry as well as fear, most especially since the atmosphere in the room only turned more oppressive.It was summer but the temperature in the room was low, and was still dropping continuously by the second. Soon, the furniture began to be wrapped in white mist, while the glasses in the room, like the window, became foggy.“Y-Young Master…”“B-Boss…”Ralph and Isaac called out simultaneously just as the water in the glass cylinder sitting on the table for the Young Master to drink began to freeze. Then, the

“Cedric de la Roche! You’re being too much!” Cain de la Roche yelled, but of course, he dared not move from his place.He knew his son all too well that he’d follow his words even if he got into trouble. If he said he would kill him then he would kill him. Even if he felt aggrieved as his son never showed him respect— not since his mother died, he had no courage to really scold and anger him. He turned to the men who remained unmoving behind.“What are you two doing? Stop your master before he kills his sister!” Cain sounded desperate, but both Ralph and Isaac ignored him, making the older man more livid. “Are you deaf? I said stop him!”Ralph and Isaac looked at him as if he was deranged.“With all due respect
REBORN: Gemini 0019 From The Future
“Ah!” Cedric did not waste time and immediately walked towards the room at the end of the corridor and entered.The room was huge and fitted out with many different life saving and monitoring equipment. In the farthest side of the room was a hospital bed specially designed for André. At the foot of the bed was his automatic wheelchair that worked more like a robot than ordinary mobility aid."Young Master, the Master is showing signs of waking up soon. He moved his fingers earlier before falling back to sleep again."Cedric nodded and then waved at the doctor and nurses who started leaving, as he crossed the room towards the bed. In it lay a young man who looked to be in his early twenties. He looked a bit similar to Cedric, but the aura which surrounded him was gentler. He was like a total
REBORN: Gemini 0020 Missing Memories
HBB…Evie sat on her hospital bed as she stared at the entry in her phonebook with a bland expression. She had been doing the very same thing for days since she got her phone from her parents. However, no matter how many times she tried to jog her memory— hers and Evely’s, she could not find anything useful to indicate that she had any encounter with her mysterious fiancé.André de Lancy…Even after repeating his name in her mind like a mantra, the only memory of him she was able to conjure was when that fake sister of hers mentioned his name when she was drugged. The other memory was also just a mention. Evely was supposed to meet her fiancé two years from now before she was kidnapped by the same people who buried her. After that, there was nothing but blanks.
REBORN: Gemini 0021 Interrogate
Evie Hunt might be vengeful, but she was not a scum. The man did not do anything bad to Evely so he was not part of the people she planned to take revenge on. Besides, according to Francis, they had a good relationship. Since she’d already decided to live on as Evely— at least while she still had no idea how to go back to her world, then shouldn’t she take her fiancé too?Urgh…Another wave of headache came and she marched out of the bathroom in a defeated state with her hand on her head.“What’s wrong? Are you having another headache?” a voice asked and Evie looked up to see Dr. Jensen sitting on one of the couches in her room. “Do you want me to ring for a nurse?”Oh…
REBORN: Gemini 0022 Revelation
This rendered Dr. Jensen quiet again as he carefully studied her face. Then, he took the notebook he brought with him that lay on his side and began scribbling on it. He always came to her room to talk to her, but she had never really seen him write anything on the notebook until now.“So you have a super hearing ability?” he asked simply. “When did it start?”“I’ve had it since I was born,” she replied and the doctor looked up and studied her with careful eyes.“You were born with it,” he prompted and Evie sighed.She felt her earlier pomp go away along with her energy.It looked like she revealed herself for nothing. This man was clearly human. Evie was afraid that when

“Hi! Is Kyle Simmons here? I’m his cousin. He said he will help us look around.”Richard asked in a very friendly manner, and Wilson returned his smile.“You’re Richard?” he asked back, and when the other nodded, he pointed at the seats next to the booth. “Kyle already told us about you the other day. Just sit there and wait a bit. He will be here in a while.”“Thanks,” Richard said, and the three followed his invitation and sat on the plastic chairs on the side.Wilson returned to his group and helped them attach photos of the different places the club members had been to.Actually, Kyle, Richard’s cousin, was not a member of the hiking club. He’s a member of the urban exploration team. But since the number of people were not many, and the members of the hiker’s club weren’t a lot as well, their club and the Hikers’ Club shared a booth. It was such a coincidence, but a very good coincidence on their part.The three sat quietly as they watched the people get busy. They did not offer h
REBORN: Gemini 0088 Youth Hall
“Boss, you’re here…”Evie turned to her side where the pedestrian entrance to the university was and saw both Richard and James standing there, as if waiting.“Why are you guys still there? Why didn’t you go in?”“We want to wait for you here,” they answered plainly.She was perplexed. She didn’t know what to say. She clearly didn’t want them to suffer for her, but they were just too cute and acted like her real lackeys. She didn’t know why she deserved such treatment, though. She could not really remember their past interactions, and she doubted if that gloomy Evely treated them correctly.“Fine, let’s go inside, then,” she said, and all three of them went to the gate.Altair University was not as strict to its students. They could go in and out anytime they wanted using their passes. However, not just anybody could enter the school on normal days. One had to be a student, a faculty member, or staff at the school in order to enter.Today, however, was a special day. It’s an open scho
REBORN: Gemini 0087 Unexpected Source
“Miss, the car is ready.”Evie looked up from her empty plate and saw Bernard standing a few steps away, looking regal as always. These days, she felt like a spoiled princess since the butler and all the servants took good care of her impeccably. Most often than not, before she even opened her mouth to ask for something, it’s either already prepared or already done.Bernard was really true to his title as the number one steward in Altair. He could anticipate well what his employers needed and prepared them in advance. If Evie was not sure that he was a hundred percent mortal, she would think he had an “all seeing eye”. It was a power similar to Dolya’s that could foresee the future.“Then I will go now,” she said as she picked up her bag and walked towards the entrance.Last night, she asked Bernard for directions to Altair University. Evely had never been there, as she had no memory of how to go to that school. She just knew that it was not that far from Altair City High School. But
REBORN: Gemini 0086 Cannot Afford To Be A Bully
Hazel was indignant. “Why do you talk as if you know anything? You were not there. What do you know?”Wil raised a brow at her.“Don’t deny it. You know that Eric’s brother is in your school and he saw everything.”Eric Wales was Wilson’s best friend and classmate. His younger brother was a year younger than Hazel and also attended Altair City High School. Since the incident happened at the cafeteria at lunch time, it was totally possible that her actions were witnessed by the boy.Hazel’s eyes turned glum. She was very upset with her brother and herself.“What exactly happened?”This time, Hazel had no choice but to confess. She was arrogant, but only in the premise that her powerful family had her back. But if she’s in the wrong, although they would side with her in the presence of other people, they would never let her off in private.“You did that?”Her parents looked visibly disappointed. Hazel knew that since returning to Altair and “changing” her personality, her parents had b
REBORN: Gemini 0085 Secret Arrogance
That same night, in a different part of the city, another soul was restless. Hazel Trent had been in her room since she returned from school. She had been in a bad mood since the incident at the cafeteria, and then her confrontation with her so-called friends in their classroom.“Hmph! What friends!”Hazel had been incensed since the group of people who went to the cafeteria with her had turned their backs on her.Traitors!Well, technically, they did not betray her at all. They just suddenly woke up from the trance of unreasonableness that had fogged their brains. In fact, even if they realized that Hazel had egged them on so they would tag along in intimidating Evely Hunt and get scolded by Hanz, they never blamed her, and had advised her not to do it anymore. There was no sense in antagonizing Evely Hunt, since the girl did not do anything bad to them, nor as they said, did she start any of the fights she had, even before.Also, in the week since class had started, the student hadn
REBORN: Gemini 0084 André's Call
“Of course not,” James hastily denied, making the others laugh again.“Hey Hanz, where do you plan to study next? Have you chosen your university?” Richard asked.“Altair University, of course,” he answered swiftly. “I’ll be going there tomorrow, by the way. They have an open school.”James, Richard, and Evie exchanged glances.“What’s going on?”“Nothing. We’re planning to go there too in the morning,” Evie answered.The open school would open at nine in the morning. Evie and the others planned to go there at the opening time or at least she was going to suggest they went there at the opening time before they were interrupted by the crazy group earlier. Most students arrived around an hour before lunch break onwards. Not many students went around the opening time.“Really? Let’s all go together then,” Hanz invited and the others agreed.Evie planned to rope Hanz in her group anyway since he looked like he would be hanging out with them a lot. As for James and Richard, they didn’t min
REBORN: Gemini 0083 Evely Is Not Troublesome
“You have scary fans,” Evie told Hanz in amusement as soon as the group left the cafeteria.The drama has ended, and so, the students who hung out at the canteen started dispersing. Actually, even if they disagreed with the group for being rude, it was still a fact that Evely Hunt was famous for her fighting skills, and so most of the students were afraid of her.Also, Hanz Jensen, the top student was also there and he just got angry at the group earlier, and so they did not dare hang out longer. Even those who were still eating hastened their pace. Why? Because they didn’t want to have the attention of the group consisting of Evely Hunt, Hanz Jensen, James de Lancy, and Richard Simmons, who were all famous at school.All four people, plus the missing Yann Bouchard, comprised the people who were not supposed to be crossed at school. Hanz was the top student and he had tons of fans who were ready to slap people who would dare cross him. As for the others, they were from the leading fam
REBORN: Gemini 0082 Hazel Trent
“You…”The class monitor of Class One was shocked at how Hanz Jensen had spoken to them. The Ice Prince might be cold and aloof to others, but he never scolded nor criticized anyone. They had never seen him this angry either. They tried to defend themselves but Hanz cut them off.“We were just concerned—"“I don’t need you to worry about me. I can take care of myself. You should worry about yourselves. When you attack or harass other people with your self-proclaimed justice without bothering to know the truth, that’s called bigotry. You should reflect on your actions.”Evie mentally clapped her hands as she could not do it while the people Hanz just scolded were still there. Even if she agreed with Hanz and she was displeased with the group, she didn’t feel it was correct for her to visibly gloat over their public embarrassment.Yes, public embarrassment. Because the group had caused a ruckus when they suddenly arrived with scary expressions and started scolding Evie’s group, they at
REBORN: Gemini 0081 None Of Your Business
“Excuse me?”The girl looked offended. Her expression was akin to someone who just got her shit thrown on her face, and it would have been funny if it were a joke. But the girl was seriously offended even though she was the one who was rude first.“I said you’re an idiot,” Evie repeated without mincing her words.The group looked shocked. It seemed nobody had ever told them that they were stupid before. But it was understandable considering the class they were from. But that was not the point.“Are you talking about me?”“Is there any other idiot here— ah my bad. You’re a group. Birds of a feather, flock together, and so you’re all probably stupid if you came looking for her with the same stupid reason,” Richard mocked.“How dare you call us stupid?”“But aren’t you? We’re quietly having our meal here and you came spouting nonsense disrupting us.”“We’re not spouting nonsense!”“Oh, and which part within your reasoning makes sense? Why do you claim that the boss is dragging Hanz Jense
