I am a Second Female Lead

Chapter 38: 2. Alana Lannes

After preparing for everything she went out of her room dress in a long tunic and a long colt.

One of her closest maids strode toward her when she saw her.

"Miss, Why did you get up so early? Are you not feeling sick anymore? Yesterday you were burning."

The maid asked her.

Sheri looked at the memory of this body. This was the maid who desperately wanted to take retaliation

for Alana when she died. Her mother was her nanny. She is a human, but she and Alana were like

siblings, they grow up together and Alana didn't treat her as a servant but instead a sister. She was

killed by one of the suitors of Catherine when she tried to kill Catherine. She wanted to avenge her by

trying to poison the woman whom Angelo adores.

Another wish pop in Sheri's head.

"The last wish of the owner of the body is to give Ghani a good life." The mechanical voice said.

Sheri was stunned when the voice sounded.

Looking keenly at the lovely woman in front of her, indeed, she looked kind and what she did when the

owner of the body died speaks of her character.

Sheri smiles toward Ghani.

"Ghani, I'm ok, don't fuss about it," Sheri said.

"What's not to fuss about, miss. He pushed and left you at the river. He is a heartless monster.

Everyone knows about it." Ghani angrily said.

Sheri chuckled at her reaction.

"Alright, don't worry about it. Am I not breathing, and well? Instead, why not accompany me to go to the

main mansion? I need to speak, to father." Sheri said.

Ghani calms down and grasps the hand of Sheri.

" Miss, you know, everyone in the mansion here and the main mansion adores you. We are always at

your back." Ghani seriously proclaimed.

Sheri giggle.

"I know, come let's go out."

They walked toward the foyer, and an old man is cleaning the carriage. He stops when he saw Ghani

and Sheri.

"Are you going out, miss? The old man said.

"Yes, Uncle Borid, we need to go to the main mansion I already inform them I'm coming," Sheri said.

"ok miss."Uncle Borid said.

Sheri and Ghani went inside the carriage, after 1 hour they arrived at the main mansion where Sheri

family lives.

"Papa. Sheri shouted at the Entrance. Her father and mother looked back and strode toward her and

embrace her.

"Oh sweety, how are you? We were supposed to come and visit you." Her mother said.

"If I have known this would happen. I should have not let you get married to that bastard." Her father

clenches his fist. He was very angry. The moment he heard that her daughter was being maltreated he

wanted to take avenge but Angelo is not easy to take down.

Sheri grasps his fist.

"Papa it's ok, what's done is done but can you do me a favor to figure out how to divorce him," Sheri

said.

Her father and mother looked at each other and sigh.

"We have done everything but there is no way. This country forbids divorce especially his family. They

are very old traditions. And the words of their forefather were holy toward them that's why we are

helpless." Her father sadly explains.

Sheri furrowed her brow. " What kind of world is this? Sheri thought to her self.

"I think we better sit down. Papa, mama." Sheri said.

She guides her parents toward their living room and sits together.

Her dad looked at her with pity and grief.

"I'm sorry darling I let you in, in this kind of situation," Her father sadly said. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Sheri shakes her head.

"It's ok papa. I will figure this out. Just, please promise me, you won't intervene. I know what you did to

Catherine. I just really want you guys to let me handle this. Don't do anything." Sheri sternly said.

Her parents froze when they heard her. They did try their best to hide all their doings to her because

they know how kind their daughter is. They looked at her and her mom tear up.

"Oh honey, we only want the best for you." her mom softly said.

"I know mama, that's why let me handle this. For a year I promise, it will be over. " Sheri firmly said.

Her father sighs.

"Alright we will do as you say." her father said.

After the family talk. Sheri and Ghani went back home.

On the way, Sheri is brainstorming with her self. She needs to become more rich, to have influence, but

how? Those were her thoughts.

She made a plan to see what kind of business she can do in this world. Her skills might be of use.

When they arrived home Sheri asked Ghani to gather all the newspapers within that year. To look for

opportunities. Luckily, Sheri is a good business minded person.

Sheri misses the use of the internet. She wished they had in this world.

Ghani didn't inquire why instead she does what Sheri asked. When she gathered all the newspaper,

she brought them to Sheri's room. Sheri locked herself in her room. She starts reading the newspaper

and searching through the memory of Alana. The owner of the body is good at photogenic memory and

due to her skill of speed, she reads the papers within an hour. She saw one thing about this world.

Sheri leans in her chair and sighs.

She has been busy since yesterday afternoon until this morning. She gently pinches her eyebrows.

Luckily her mind can push the body she's in, to do what she wanted. They don't get tired nor do they

need a sleep. The problem was when she soaked in the holy river her whole being become so weak

that her abilities are almost gone.

A gentle knock came at her door and Ghani came in. Sheri looked up and saw Ghani with breakfast on

a tray.

Ghani put down the tray.

"Alana, you have to eat, you've been brainstorming for the whole night, aren't you? Ghani said.

"sigh! Ghani, I'm moving out of this mansion "Sheri said.

Ghani stood still when she heard her.

"Miss, why do you plan on moving out? It's not like I'm against it, I even think it would be much better

for you since your husband doesn't even come home. "Ghani said.

Sheri shook her head gently and looked at her.

"I've decided to sell this castle and buy myself a small house. Anyway, Angelo doesn't mind what I will

do with this house. I also have some considerable savings and precious gifts from the wedding. Let's

all sell them and later I want to launch a restaurant. "Sheri gently said.

The whole night she was brainstorming on what to do and this was her only solution as far as she can

see what this world needs. This world is still lacking, of an elegant restaurant. Since Sheri is an

excellent cook why not use it.

"A restaurant?"Ghani asked.

"Yes, and I demand, you to be my partner. Its splendid time Ghani that you will utilize your managing

skills and also can you summoned all our people. I want to ask them if they want to join me."Sheri said.

Ghani was lost when she heard those words from Alana before she didn't want to do anything about

business. Yes, they are wealthy and own many businesses, but Alana was never been interested in

businesses. After pondering Ghani shook her head maybe it's what Angelo did that makes Alana

change.

On the other side, Sheri was a little scared when an alert goes in her head that she was being out of

character luckily it stops.

Ghani looked at her. "Alright miss, we will do what you want and I will gather our people." Ghani said.

After breakfast, Sheri and Ghani are sitting down together with the rest of the people who are working

in the mansion. They were about 30 people. Sheri knows all of them, and she knows they are all her

people due to Alana's past life.

************Ok, someone might ask. This era they are in is in a medieval-modern sort of. It's something

you typically see in anime etc. Please don't compare to the real medieval era. Thank you. Till

tomorrow!************
