99 Days Trapped in the Body of the Royal Prince’s Wife - Chapter 45

At 1 a.m., Mia can’t sleep because she thinks about her plan for Michael which turns out to be not as expected. Yes, that’s because the man hasn’t contacted her since the first time and the number is no longer active.

“Where is he? Doesn’t he think about teaching me? Or is he really busy… Or maybe he’s still sleeping?” Mia wondered as she looked up at the ceiling. The girl who was wearing a pink sexy pajama suit sat up and took her cell phone which was above her table near the bed.

Mia activates her cell phone, sees several messages and incoming calls from her friend’s number which is dominated by male friends who don’t interest her at all, because all she wants is Michael.

“Huh… Is it because I’m too fast? I haven’t made him feel dependent on me so he just let me go? Then I’ll use another way!” Mia monologued to herself, starting to think about what to do with Michael.

Knock…knock…knock…

Mia glanced at the knock on the door. She, who was lazy to walk because her leg was still a little sore, chose to remain silent, instead of having to open the door.

“Mia, open the door. We need to talk!” someone called from behind the door.

Mia just didn’t want to make a sound as if she was pretending to be asleep until there was no more knocking or screaming.

“Oskar is crazy! Why does he wake me up at this time of night anyway? It’s like he doesn’t know what to do !” Mia huffed in annoyance, then returned her focus to her cell phone.

Elsewhere, Clara wakes up after a few hours of sleeping with Nathan who has treated her so sweetly. Ah, of course, they made love, and now the husband is still sleeping.

‘Oh my God, how long do I have to be like this? I feel like a bitch, I satisfy a man who’s not my husband… But he deserves this body, but I feel I did make love to him with all my soul.’ Casey’s soul began to complain, tired of the situation.

Clara decided to get out of bed, then walked to the walk-in closet room which turned out to be filled with many clothes that Nathan and Clara had when they were alive. She also took hold of a yellowish-white dress and gray blazer, then immediately put it on.

“Hi, Clara but Casey.”

Clara looked back and saw Arion standing leaning against the wall. She turned around and faced the strange and mysterious man, looking at him awkwardly because she was worried that she had been noticed earlier when she was changing.

“Since when have you been here?” she asked.

“Just now,” Arion replied casually, looking at Clara who looked awkward. “What do you feel now?” he asked.

“I can’t stop thinking about Michael. I saw him earlier, and before I also saw Mia in this apartment area….I thought that they…”

“Don’t think about it, because you’re having a lot of fun with Nathan too,” Arion said before Clara finished her sentence.

“What do you mean?” asked Clara.

“Didn’t you have fun with Nathan?”

“But I’m like this because I’m in his wife’s body,” Clara replied irritably. “I didn’t have a chance to refuse. I didn’t want him to get angry or trouble would come…”

“Yes, I know you are on behalf of the body you are wearing, but I know from your small heart, you also enjoy every treatment from Nathan,” said Arion with a faint smile.

“You start to like him, but you also like Michael. Poor Michael, but Michael misses the point..you both use other people as your pleasure, it’s okay because this is a situation that you can’t avoid,” he continued.

Clara was silent with a feeling of wonder, full of question marks. “What do you mean …?”

“I mean….. Eh, Maybe your guess is right that Michael slept with Mia….but you don’t have to worry about that because you slept with Nathan too,” Arion explained then walked over to Clara until he stopped beside her, then sat down on the short white couch.

“There’s something more important than thinking about all this.”

“So it’s true that he slept with Mia?”

“I don’t know, but I’m sure you will find the truth between them. Don’t think about it now because there are more important things than romance,” Arion exclaimed with a serious look.

“Don’t let romance make you forget your mission, because if you don’t succeed, I don’t know how your life will continue in the future, with a bright future full of sincerity, or a bright future full of falsehood. But I also don’t know, can you still return in your body or not, what is certain is that you know everything will die of curiosity,” he continued.

Clara sighed, glancing at Arion who was squirming again. She really couldn’t focus because she was thinking more and more about Michael and Mia, while Arion’s words also made her feel like a bitch for Nathan and felt like she had betrayed Michael. Ugh, that kind of feeling must be annoying, awry, and full of problems.

“Tomorrow, you have to come with Nathan to the office to see Felix,” Arion said.

“Then?”

“Then don’t let the police or anyone else hurt the accused, because actually, the search was just a trick,” explained Arion, then positioned himself opposite Clara. “You should know that there is a traitor that Nathan believes in..you have to find it …you have to show that person is not worthy to be trusted and Nathan will trust you. He will find out all the truth and that person is caught.”

“If you know who he is, why don’t you just tell me. I’m tired of having to investigate,” said Clara languidly.

“Clara. I can’t tell without evidence,” Arion said patiently, looking at Clara who was discouraged. “You just need to follow all my instructions, then slowly you will know.”

Clara sighed. “Well… That means you have to go now. I’ll do as you tell me.”

“This is not an order, but this is something you must do so that your mission is completed quickly.”

“And when it’s all over before the 99th day, I don’t know what to do because I can’t go back in my body, I don’t even know I will live or die,” Clara said sadly, feeling a sad attack hit her heart. “I’m trapped, I’m imprisoned in this body. I don’t know if I’ll have the chance to get close to Michael again… I miss him and sometimes I feel sorry for him when he looks so pathetic waiting for my body to wake up soon enough.”

“Don’t think about it anymore because we don’t know what God will give you after you are done with all these missions. Even this mission is also a good thing for you, so besides you trying, you also have to pray for a chance to live like the real Clara who is very much loved by her family and husband,” said Arion with a pitying look at Clara.

Clara was silent, lowered her head, and recalled her childhood to adulthood that lacked affection. She kept contemplating until without realizing Arion was gone. The woman sat leaning against the cupboard, starting frustration because her mind was crazily filled with problems and the image of Michael and Mia.

‘Oh my God… Could it be that I’ll have a chance to be happy after this? As Arion said….but if it didn’t, you’re cruel…. You’re only giving me torture for the rest of my life!’ Clara thought to herself, wringing her hair in frustration and continuing to cry.
