Chapter 2 - Love Is Meaningless

A young woman was thrashing in her bed as if experiencing some kind of nightmare. She was sweating heavily; her whole dress was drenched in sweat. Suddenly, her eyes snapped open. She sat up in a daze.

 

She whispered, "Why am I alive?" Her tone was full of disbelief and confusion. At that moment, she realized that her voice was different.

 

"What happened to my voice?!"

 

She looked down at her chest and found two mounds obstructing her vision. Terrified, she touched her lower part missing with trembling hands, only to find out it to be missing. Jumping out of her bed, she ran towards the mirror. A young woman with a very beautiful face, blonde hair, and dark green eyes was looking at her. Her entire figure was too thin and malnourished.

 

At that moment, her head started to hurt as if it would burst out any second. Clutching her head, she grabbed the dressing table near her, to stabilize herself.

 

"Alice..." hissed the young woman.

 

Fuck! I thought it were just stories! To think, I will be reincarnated in my friend's novel... I may be damned as well.

 

Alice walked towards her bed, and sat on it. She took a deep breath and analysed her situation. Her room... house... judging by the dimensions, was a small one. Too small, in fact. The tiles were broken, even darkened with dirt and other things. The walls were cracked and the colouring was almost gone. There was a kitchen, and a bathroom... nothing else.

 

There is no bedroom. 'She' sleeps here... in the living room. Was 'she' mad? Her condition of living is pathetic. She used up all her savings to buy this 'dump.' What a mess! And now, I am 'her.' Great. First, I became a woman and then, reincarnated as 'her.' God would have been merciful if he had killed me instead.

 

Now, I am a woman. An omega, in fact. Although, I am confused about the ABO dynamics... I know for certain that being an alpha is better. But omega? I don't think it will be good for me.

 

Alice Redman, was the name of the omega villainess of her... friend's novel. 'The Heroine Changes Everything' was about a woman named Emma Thoerson, who was an omega female, trying to find her family. During the journey, she met countless people. Many of them fell in love with her, vying for her love.

 

The family part was over very quickly. 'Emma' found her family in less than twenty chapters. If I remember correctly, she got lost when she was just only a five-year old kid. The novel mostly dealt with romance. The body, I am currently inhabiting is the body of a villainess, who obstructed the path of the heroine, only for her to be killed by one of her suitors.

 

Alice shivered remembering the fate of the body she was in. Her head was cutoff and thrown in the river.

 

Nah, I will just stay away from the plot. Involving with them will get me killed and I don't want that. Being a woman... I don't care... as for being an omega, that can too go to hell for all I care. I will just stay single.

 

A sense of sadness washed over her when she remembered how easily Kaeye abandoned her. Alice shook her head and sighed.

 

It's better for me to move on for now. Yet, I still... think about her. Is being rich too good? Does money buy every single ounce of happiness and satisfaction in this world? Kaeye... maybe I should have asked you this. Okay, fuck it! From now on, I will stay single for all my life. Yes! No more relationship! No more love!

 

Alice's determination was burning passionately. She vowed that no one would enter her life again. Not after Kaeye. She thought love was meaningless.

 

Fuck love! Now on to the more pressing matters, I am Alice... if I don't except my current situation, I will be at a disadvantage in this new world.

 

Suddenly, Alice's stomach growled in hunger. Hmmm... it was definitely a bad time for her to get hungry. And judging by her 'figure,' it was safe to say there shouldn't be anything for her to eat.

 

Alice has a computer science graduate degree. Lat week, she had got the recruitment letter... wait! Wasn't the company she went for interview belonged to one of the male leads?

 

Fuck! Just when I thought I had one thing settled! This! Comes and destroys it! What the fuck should I do now?

 

Should Alice go there? Or, shouldn't she? Pondering on it, she stood up and walked towards the fridge, hoping there would be something to eat. When she opened the fridge, a fly came out, buzzing near her ears, as if mocking her to be poor. At the same time, her stomach started growling in hunger again. There was nothing inside the fridge. It was empty just like her stomach and bank balance.

 

Alice closed her eyes and closed the fridge's door with a thud. Turning, she slumped against the fridge, slowly sitting on the ground with her hands covering her face.

 

The sheer desperation I am feeling... I don't know what to say. Oh, fuck it! I need that damn job! Fuck the plot! Right now, I need something to go on. And this job, I need it. I was a man before; there is no way in the hell I will ever like a man. So, fuck it! Emma? You can keep your lovers to yourself. There is no way that I am going to like any of them.

 

Alice stood up and walked towards the table where her letter was sitting on. Desperation always would be the 'point of curvature' for a human. No immunity. No prevention. Nothing.

 

Right now, I am desperate. My 'body' is as good as a piece of shit. I need some money to go no. Without it, I will not survive. So, I have to accept this job. When I am a bit stable, I can leave.
