Chapter 1

When I graduated from university, my cousin Laura gave me a gramophone and told me to put it in my bedroom. She also specifically asked me to position the horn in the direction of my bed.I did not understand what she meant by that, but I did it anyway. Then, one night, I heard my boyfriend Adam’s labored breathing, along with shameful moans. But no one was beside me.In the previous cycle, after I received the gramophone and the record from Laura, I had happily played it for my entire family.Yet, when half a month passed, my brother got into an accident and died.My father lost his mind and jumped off from the eighteenth floor.

Fatal Record/James Xander

In the previous cycle, I had happily gone back and showed my entire family the gramophone. I also played the record Laura gave me for a few days. But from that day onward, I felt as if someone was controlling my life. All of the misfortunes that happened after that were things that I could not endure.While William my brother William was on his way to work, a car came out of nowhere and crashed into him. His entire body was covered in wounds, and his limbs were shattered. After I finished dealing with his funeral affairs in the hospital, I received a phone call from my neighbors saying that my father fainted due to grief. When he woke up, he lost his mind.Not only could he not remember who I was, but he also kept mumbling about how we should all die.One day, while I went out to buy groceries, he slipped and fell from our balcony on the eighteenth floor. His whole body was broken. The police could not even retrieve his full corpse.Before I recovered from the shock of losing t

I knew that Laura was actually the one who made the call.If she left first before Adam, I would not end up suspecting them.I nodded nonchalantly.Adam hurried over to hug me. “Babe, you’re the best. I’ll come visit you in a few days, okay?”“Sure.”While Adam apologized, I saw excitement in his eyes.At the moment he left, I even heard Laura’s voice through his phone. Once they left, I ate and drank to my fill before I went to a music store and bought a gramophone that looked exactly the same as the one Laura gave me.When I got home, William asked me puzzledly, “Why did you buy two gramophones, Anya?”I just smiled and said nothing. Instead, I grabbed two records of cliche classics and played them. Songs that were so common that everyone was sick of them started playing. I started clapping to the rhythm, and even my footsteps became much lighter.But William suffered from it since he was a professor in the department of music. He covered his ears. Just when I finish

“Oh!” Laura exclaimed. “Okay. Could you come find me once you’re done?”When I went to the hospital, it was already the next day.Since Laura could not leave the hospital, she had not eaten anything for two days, and she was starving. “Anya, don’t you care about your own uncle anymore?”I went over and apologized to her. “I didn’t do it on purpose. There were some problems at the university. Anyway, how is Uncle Gary? Did he get hurt anywhere important?”Laura smiled wryly, but there was resentment in her eyes. “He’s fine this time. But don’t worry. Soon, we won’t have to live like this anymore.”As she said this, I could see eager excitement in her eyes.I said nothing and only smiled. Things were not going to go how she wanted.Later on, I did my best to avoid getting into contact with Laura. I kept pretending to be busy looking for a job, and even Adam seldom came to visit me.But he was happy about that since it meant that he did not actually have to rack his brain for ex

When Laura started yelling, she had lost her composure, and she was so loud that the doctor outside the ward came in with a scowl and warned her, “You’re in a hospital, not the market! Quiet!”I, too, gave Laura a “puzzled” look. “What’s wrong, Laura? Do William and my dad have to listen to the record?”At this point, Laura realized that she had slipped and acted too extremely. In panic, she waved her hands. “N-No, that’s not what I meant!”I continued to stare at her, and she was so anxious that sweat seemed to be beading on her forehead. She kept looking everywhere but at me. Then, she licked her lips and came to hold my hand in a show of affection. “How could you think that, Anya?“It’s a gift from me to you, and I just want your family to listen to it too. William is a music professor, so he must have a greater understanding of music than we do. I just want him to listen to it so that I know I wasn’t scammed!”She made it sound so damn logical. “I see…” I drawled. “So that’s

“What could possibly be more important than your own boyfriend?!”As I listened to his slimy and disgusting words, I felt like puking. Since I was not saying anything, Adam started talking about Laura. “I went to visit Laura a few days ago. Did you know that her father is in the hospital?”I gave him a perfunctory hum.But if he chose to call me instead of being with Laura, then there could only be one reason for it. He was disgusted by Laura. Considering the lumps on Laura and how much of a womanizer Adam was, it was impossible for him to spend time on her. This time, after I returned to the past, I looked into Laura and Adam’s relationship, and I found that they had actually gotten together soon after I started dating Adam. Adam often went to visit Laura after he finished his date with me, and they would sometimes stay for two days in a hotel.During those times, Adam always said that he got drunk to hide that he was with Laura. How nauseating!Adam kept trying to ge

I was at a loss. Fortunately, medical staff rushed over and pulled Gary away from Laura. Once the doctors injected several doses of tranquilizers in him, they tied him to the bed. Laura went to them and asked, “Can my dad still be saved?”For some reason, when Laura spoke, the stench in the room became greater. It was as if the smell came from her mouth. Even the doctors could not help but take one huge step back while frowning. They kept a certain distance from her. The other nurses put on masks and did not care that Laura looked like she was about to cry. “He has to go to the mental hospital, but if you don’t want to do it, then you’ll have to transfer him to another hospital.” One of the doctors said and immediately left. It was as if staying for even a second longer was torture to him.When they left, I heard some of them gagging. An awkward look appeared on Laura’s face. “What should I do, Anya?” She started crying. Looking at how out of shape Laura was and the

Both of them kept talking in whispers about this. Then, Laura came to me. “Anya, I can’t go out to earn money with my dad being like this. Could you lend me some money?“I promise you. I’ll return it to you in the future.”I immediately said, “Sure. But you can’t receive bank transfers, right?”Laura remembered something important: their bank account had been frozen. I said, “I have some cash back at home. Come with me to get it.“I also sent Dad and William for a checkup today, so they won’t hurt you. As for Uncle Gary, why don’t we have Adam send him back?”Laura did not suspect anything. She immediately came with me to my house. But the moment she stepped through my door, she was dumbfounded. The gramophone I put in the living room was not the one I gave her. Laura stopped me from getting money for her, and she gnashed her teeth. “That’s not the gramophone I gave you!“Where’s the one I gave you?!”I immediately shot back, “That’s the one you gave me. Adam even made sur
