The Billionaire's Cursed Heiress
Chapter 155: THE CLOCK IS TICKING!

Chapter 155: Chapter 155: THE CLOCK IS TICKING!

[Congratulations on acquiring three of the relics. Your spiritual water would be ....]

Zara’s mind exploded upon hearing that. What did the book mean by saying three relics? When did she acquire the third one?

Didn’t it give her two relics so far?

Could it be that she earned one without her knowledge? What the heck is going on?

Unfortunately, she couldn’t stop the book when it was in the middle of notifying her like this. She could only listen attentively and ask when it was time.

So, she surprised her curiosity and excitement, as getting another relic collected meant that she was getting closer. At least, that’s what she hoped. After all, she didn’t know how many relics she had to collect before she could lift the curse.

[The spiritual water can now be gathered in a small pool. You can now consume it whenever you want without worrying about it disappearing.]

[Your questions have been increased to six, so use them wildly.]

[You can start asking now.]

And that was what she was waiting for.

Setting aside the pool issue, Zara began to analyze and strategize for a long time until she got the questions she wanted to ask.

Taking a deep breath, her fists clenched nervously, she asked, "Is Zahrah me?" a glint of hope flashing in her eyes.

It wouldn’t make sense, the whole thing, if Zahra wasn’t her. If it wasn’t here, then the Mir she saw in the dream would be her Amir. How could that be possible?

She wished for a positive answer this time.

[Yes.] and the answer was short and very concise.

However, to Zara, this answer was everything that she wanted. She pumped her fists victoriously, overjoyed with that confirmation.

Now everything could make sense now. If she was cursed when she was Zahrah by her former lover, who was definitely not a good person considering the bad deed he did to her, and then cursed her to probably cause damage to her deity, then all this curse nonsense could be traced.

It would make sense why the curse was so deadly even if it was for thousands of years ago. Her goddess was simply powerful. A lot of people and cults feed off the deaths of the people. And if her temple continues to heal people, wouldn’t they offend these dark temples?

It was unfortunate that she gave her heart to the wrong person. And talking about this betrayer, who the heck was he?

So, she asked her next question, "Who cursed me?" hoping to get a name.

Unfortunately, this book was simply too rigid.

[Your lover cursed you.]

Can’t it elaborate further? She had wasted a question and her heart ached.

However, with this, it confirmed that the book wasn’t willing to give her names. So, she could only truly be clever once again.

"Where is that person in this current life of mine?" hoping to find a clue which can help her trace this bastard and deal with him.

Having such a person by her side might be deadly. She didn’t want to die a second time because she was careless.

Unfortunately, the book was playing games with her again.

[He is by your side. Always been.]

And that answer was vague. There were so many people by her side, so how was she supposed to narrow the culprit down?

Anyway, it was better to have some information than nothing.

Moving to the next question, she asked, "Can you tell me his name?"

[No, that’s for you to find out!]

And she hit another wall. Three questions were wasted and yet she failed to get the answer she wanted.

Zara moved to the fifth question and asked, "How many relics in total do I need to collect?" and this time, this was considered a serious question.

Knowing the number of relics would give her a timeline and make her plan properly.

[Five.]

That was a good answer. She had three already, and this meant that two remained. Knowing this meant that she was getting closer to freedom. How can she not be happy?

And that led to the last and important question.

Zara was nervous this time, for real. After all, this question would determine her life. She wished she didn’t have to ask it but for her sake and everyone’s she didn’t have a choice but to ask. At least knowing was better than being in the blind.

With her eyes closed, Zara asked, "How long do I have to remove the curse if I want to live?" her heart thumping loudly, sweat dripping on her forehead.

The book didn’t answer directly this time but took its time. And this action made her panic and scared for her life.

Nothing good comes whenever there is suspense and she regrets asking the question. She should have asked for something else. Why did she have to be curious and stubborn?

She regretted it so much.

Unfortunately, there were no ifs in the world and above all, it was too late to cry over spilt milk.

As she waited nervously with a fearful heart, the book emerged.

[You have sixty days,] and Zara blacked out, sending everyone into a frenzy.

When she woke up, it was nighttime already and her head felt groggy and it was throbbing so badly, it was as if someone was pounding it.

What the heck happened to her?

Why couldn’t she remember? She felt puzzled as she looked around.

She remembered that in the morning she was found to be well, then she met with Diamond and she gave her the dagger of suffering.

After getting the dagger of suffering, she had a Q&A session with the book and after knowing the number of relics, what happened after that?

Could it be that she was just tired and over-exhausted herself?

This was stressful.

It was better to sleep it off. When she wakes up again, the headache will be gone.

Besides, tomorrow was a day she was looking forward to the most.

The day of the auction.

She might as well go there and buy a few things for herself and her parents, and play for a few days before heading back home.

Since she had the dagger of suffering already, there was no reason for her to stay in Athary for longer, so playing for a few days would suffice. Especially when Amir was nowhere to be found.

Get a few pretty things, find Diamond to thank her, and then leave for home.

She didn’t know when the book would issue the next mission and how long she would have to wait.

So, she might as well spend more time with her family.

Every second counts.

And she had no idea how true this statement of hers was in her case.
