I Slapped the Villain and Claimed I Was His Future Wife Chapter 10

I Slapped the Villain and Claimed I Was His Future Wife Chapter 10

It felt like I was being manipulated by fate.

But I couldn’t find any solid proof.

Unable to sleep, I got up in the middle of the night to watch TV.

Luca was out handling the Family business and was not home.

With no one home to disturb, I turned the volume up.

I put on a random movie, and the lead actress was Celia.

Celia had become a famous actress, just like I remembered.

I hadn’t seen her in years.

I opened our chat and sent her a message, testing the waters.

She replied almost immediately.

We chatted casually. I asked about her and Elias.

“We got married, but we didn’t have a wedding.”

“You know how public my work is, so we did not announce it. Without a wedding, we never told our friends or classmates.”

I said I understood.

I quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

In previous loops, they hadn’t gotten married.

This time they had, which meant the female lead’s redemption mission had succeeded.

The male lead wouldn’t commit suicide.

The world wouldn’t collapse and loop again.

The Sword of Damocles hanging over my head had finally disappeared.

I wouldn’t have to go back to senior year ever again.

I was so happy I almost cried. I sent a bunch of congratulatory messages.

Celia replied with a “Fuck it” reaction GIF.

“Relax. You don’t have to live through senior year again.”

The smile on my face vanished.

Staring at Celia’s message in the middle of the night, I shivered.

My hand trembled slightly.

“How do you know that?”

I met up with Celia.

From her, I learned a secret I never knew about myself.

She said she was actually an actress who had died in the original world.

She entered this novel with a system.

Her mission was to redeem the male lead, Elias.

She had failed six times. Her seventh attempt would have succeeded.

But Luca, who had become cold and ruthless, ruined it.

In the loops, the villain Luca had awakened.

He uncovered Celia’s secret and the truth about the world.

He kept destroying her redemption mission and making the world collapse, all for me.

“Why?”

In the past loops, Luca and I had never crossed paths.

Celia looked at me in surprise. “I thought you knew.”

“When you first met Luca and slapped him, didn’t you say you were his future wife?”

“You are.”

I stared at her in shock.

I couldn’t process what she was saying.

In my memories, Luca and I had always been strangers in those countless loops.

“So you don’t have any memories of Luca.”

“The higher power really had been punishing Luca.”

Celia sighed. After thinking for a moment, she made an offer. “I still have enough system points to exchange for a wish. I can restore your lost memories.”

“But I have one condition. I saw a piece of jewelry at an auction before, but Luca outbid me for it.”

“I want it.”

I answered immediately, “Deal.”

Celia agreed right away.

She exchanged her points for the wish on the spot.

At the same time, a lost set of memories flooded back into my mind.

In Luca’s original fate, he never married and had no lover.

But there were countless unnamed admirers in his life.

I was one of them.

Liking Luca was both accidental and inevitable.

When neighborhood bullies were picking on me, Luca happened to walk by and saved me.

Yes.

That cliché reason was why I fell for him.

Maybe also because he was just so incredibly handsome.

I would deliberately walk past his classroom just to steal a glance.

I wrote him so many letters but never signed them.

I didn’t know if he read them.

He received tons of love letters every day anyway.

Every day I secretly put a bottle of vanilla milk in his desk drawer.

Just because I once saw him drink it.

I thought he liked it.

I didn’t want him to know it was from me.

From a very young age, I knew my own fate.

Because of my congenital heart condition, I was left at St. Agnes Children’s Home. I could die at any moment.

I could not run or participate in gym class.

I could only sit in the corner and watch others play.

Because I knew my life would be short, I didn’t dare get close to anyone.

I didn’t have any close friends.

That way, when I left, no one would be sad.
