- 5.
In the days that followed, Kai and I moved, and I started living with him.
I kept trying to figure out how to tell him I wasn’t Claire.
And I was also desperately trying to find a way to switch back.
But then, I stumbled upon some news online.
Claire–in my body–was proposing to tear
My heart sank at the news.
That house was the last thing my grandpa left
me; it couldn’t be demolished.
I rushed back home and found my parents.
“Don’t let them tear down the old house!” I pleaded.
My parents looked at me, confused. “Who are you?”
“It’s me, Jade! The current Jade and I, we’ve swapped souls!” I said frantically, desperate for them to stop Claire.
But then Claire herself appeared, linking arms with my mom.
“Mom, this person used to bully me,” she said
sweetly.
My mom, who adored me—or the me she thought was me–heard this and immediately ordered people to teach me a lesson.

His words plunged me into complete despair.
I never thought he could be this cruel.
I used to love him so desperately. When his
medical check–up showed a tumor, I
specifically went abroad to study for three
months.
I found a way to treat his tumor.
I was all set to find an opportunity to get him
into surgery, and then he did this to me,
swapping my soul with Claire’s.
Tears streamed down my face. I looked up at
him, my eyes filled with hatred.
“Ethan, I’m not going to save you anymore.”
“You’ll regret this.”
