Chapter 331: Living a Lie

Chapter 331: Living a Lie

The golden energy blinded Misha and enveloped the entire house.

"...!"

Misha opened her eyes and found herself lying on the bed. Confused, she sat up and held her head in her hands as she let out a painful grunt.

She gasped and turned on the lamp light without wasting even a single second. She scanned the room with her eyes and grabbed her sword from the side of the bed before getting off.

p ?? da-n ?v el However, there was no sign of anyone.

"Was that… a dream…?" she asked herself.

She looked at the jar on the table, which was empty before but was now full. But the water inside it was dark.

"It wasn't…" she muttered.

She immediately dashed out of the room with her sword in her hand and turned on all the lights downstairs.

After making sure no one was there, she banged on Kayden's door while yelling, "Open the door!"

A few seconds later, Kayden opened the door with a confused and sleepy face. He was struggling to keep his eyes open.?? ? ?? n ? ???

"What is it? Weren't you the one who said we would talk later?

SIGH!

Misha sighed in relief and muttered, "So the conversation really happened!"

"Hmm? What are you talking about?" Kayden rubbed his eyes and said, "Are you trying to take revenge on me or something—"

Kayden's eyes wide opened, and all his sleep vanished when he realized Misha was hugging him. His face flushed red as he stuttered:

"W-What are y-you doing!"

"What's wrong? Weren't you the one who wanted me to hug you?" she asked with a grin on her face.

"B-but... Why so suddenly?! What's gotten into you?!" Kaden tried to hug Misha back and feel her body, but he stopped midway and hesitantly asked, "Can I ask what type of hug is this? Is this a romantic hug or sisterly hug?"

"Sisterly hug, of course," Misha replied.

Kayden grabbed Misha's shoulders and pushed her back while saying, "Then you shouldn't hug me for that long." p??da n?vel

"Okay."

Kayden looked into Misha's eyes and wondered, 'My heart aches so badly, but I can't do anything. Is this how Zach felt every time Misha hugged him?'

"So… what brings you here?" he asked with a judging look on his face. "Waking me up at night and hugging me like this after the heated conversation we had. What are you planning?"

Misha gulped down nervously and placed her hand on her chest before saying, "What I am going to do now might baffle you, but that would answer all the questions you asked me before."

"...?"

Misha stared into Kayden's eyes and spread her golden wings.

"Wha—!" Kayden tried to step back, but he tripped and fell on his butt.

The shock was evident on his face, and he was seemingly scared.

"What is that?!" he yelled in fear.

SIGH! ,c,om

"I did expect you to be shocked, but I would never have guessed you would lose your cool like that and act so scared.

Kayden frowned his face and said, "What did you do to 'my' Misha, you imposter! give her back!"

Misha squinted her eyes and uttered, "I thought you gave up on me already."

"Don't tell me… you killed Misha and possessed her body?!" he yelled with a furious look on his face.

SIGH!

Misha retracted her wings and smacked Kayden's head before saying, "It's me, Misha."

"I don't believe you! And I will never believe you unless you convince me!" he shouted.

"A few months ago, in the real world, you peeked on me when I was taking a bath," Misha sighed in disbelief.

"...!" Kayden's face turned pale after hearing that. He gulped down nervously and said, "That wasn't on purpose! I came to take a bath and saw the lights were off, so I thought it was empty. but I saw you relaxing in the bathtub, and I… watched you for a few seconds before leaving!"

"I do admit it was my fault for keeping the lights off and not locking the door, and that's why I never consulted you about it." Misha shrugged her shoulders and said, "Are you convinced that I am Misha?"

"What if… you gained her memories after possessing her?" he asked with a judging look on his face.

"Look, if you don't want to believe me, it's completely okay. I revealed my identity to you because I wanted to come clean. I am not hiding any secrets from you now," she uttered nonchalantly and turned around to leave the room.

"Wait, wait! I trust you! But you need to tell me more." Kayden sat comfortably on the floor while Misha stood in front of him.

"What are you exactly?" he asked curiously.

Misha once again spread her wings and pointed her gaze at them as she asked, "What do I look like?"

"A… bird? Harpy, perhaps?"

Misha frowned her face and yelled, "I am an angel!"

"Whoa, don't yell. I was just trying to tease you."

Misha's face twitched from the corners as she said, "Don't make jokes in such a serious matter!"

"Okay, okay. Don't get angry." A brief pause later, he asked, "If you are an angel, doesn't that mean your mother is… also one?"

Misha nodded in response.

"Does… my father know about this?"

Misha shook her head and replied, "No. Also, this might surprise you, but my mother and your father aren't actually married."

"What?!" he exclaimed.

"That happened before your father learned about your existence, and he decided to lie to you since he didn't want you to feel lonely. You know he is always busy with his work, so he wanted someone to take care of you, and mother was the best option. She didn't seem to mind either, so they went along with the plan."

"Of course, they never had any intimate relationship either," she casually added. "The only person your father, truly loved was your mother."

"What the… fuck?" Kayden muttered in disbelief. "So my entire life has been nothing but a lie?"
