The Billionaire's Cursed Heiress
Chapter 203: REMOVING THE CURSE

Chapter 203: Chapter 203: REMOVING THE CURSE

Inside the bedroom, Zara sat on the bed with a ghostly smile on her face as she dazedly looked at the book in her hand.

Everything happened so fast, it felt like a magic show.

One second, she was counting the clock to her death and the second Diamond appeared from nowhere with the book she had been longing for before disappearing once again.

When she received the book, the shock was too much for her that she nearly fainted. However, this time, afraid of falling into a deep slumber and then stressing everyone else because of lack of time, she held to herself and refused to fall for it.

In the end, after being taken to her room, she kicked everyone else.

When receiving new information from the book, she wanted to be alone. She didn’t want to be surrounded by anyone. What if she gets shocking news and fails to control herself?

And surely, she was on point.

If she had let everyone remain behind, she didn’t know how she would have reacted when the book emerged to give her the good news, or rather disturbing news she received shortly after the good news.

[Congratulations on getting the Book of Death. You have successfully acquired all the five relics. Now the next stage is for you to remove the curse. You have five weeks remaining to complete the ritual.]

When she heard that, Zara was obviously happy, as she no longer needed to run around like a headless chicken in search of the relics.

Five weeks was also longer than the previous two weeks, so she was much more at ease than before.

However, the book wasn’t done yet as it continued to share more information.

[To get rid of the curse, you will need to return to the old temple. The priestess will prepare for the ritual, she will know what she needs to do. As for you, you still need to collect the last crucial thing to complete the gathering of relics.]

’What is that?’ she couldn’t help but wonder when she heard that.

[The blood of the traitor. Use the dagger of suffering to cut the palm of the traitor, your past lover. With his blood ....]

The more Zara listened, the more baffled she became. For a moment there, she thought that the book was being merciful, but listen to it now. It wanted her to collect the blood of that bastard who killed her in her first life.

Where was she going to find him?

Unfortunately, the book didn’t seem to be in the mood to joke with her at all. As it retorted instantly, [You know who betrayed you. Follow your heart. If you don’t collect that blood as soon as possible, the consequences will be dire!]

And her heart sank upon hearing that. Hearing how firm and confident the book was at determining that she knew who the betrayer was, her heart sank.

She didn’t want to believe it at all. She didn’t dare even imagine that it was ending like that and it even started that way.

It didn’t make sense at all and yet from all the clues she had gathered, everything still pointed towards that one person.

The method of removing the curse, at least what was required of her, was simple. The priestess would do most of the tedious procedures. However, if she collected the wrong blood, then she was doomed.

So, she needed to be sure a thousand percent that the blood she was going to collect was the right one. One mistake and then she is a goner.

And thinking about it, got her in a daze. She felt like she was going crazy.

How was she going to collect the blood in the first place?

After locking herself for a few hours, Zara let out a deep sigh, feeling dejected and helpless about what she was going to do.

She calmed herself down and managed her expressions before calling for those who waited outside.

As soon as they were called, her family members and Amir both came into the room, worried expressions on their faces.

Zara, upon seeing them, beamed at them as if nothing was wrong. She didn’t dare let anything escape right now. What if that person suspects something and then things go awry?

She needed to be careful until the very end.

"Darling, is everything okay?" her mother asked worriedly as soon as she stepped into the room.

Zara looked affectionately at her mother, whom she had made shed tears so much in these past few years.

She felt really bad for her mother. Because of her selfishness and anger, she neglected the other and caused her to worry.

Smiling reassuringly at her, Zara replied to her, "Mom, I am fine. Everything went perfectly well!" stars in her eyes as she said that.

Lena and the others, hearing that all sighed with relief. They were too scared that something crazy would be mentioned and send them into another crazy frenzy. Their bodies shuddered at the thought of that repeating.

"That’s good then. So, what is next now?" Lena continued to ask, wondering what the next procedure was.

When Zara heard that question, she looked at everyone, her gaze never revealing anything extra before responding, "A ceremony needs to be held and it can last many weeks. However, the priestess needs to host the ritual ceremony. The deity told me that the priestess will know what needs to be done!"

Upon hearing that this time’s conditions were much better than before, a collective sigh of relief was heard once again, making Zara chuckle faintly at how traumatized these people were with what had been going on lately.

"That’s good. We can get this done as soon as possible."

"Um, we can return to the sacred land as soon as tomorrow!" Bianca added enthusiastically, finally relieved that there was something that they could do without getting stressed first.

Zara discussed with them what was needed and when everything was discussed, it was time for everyone to disperse and rest for the night.

Another day awaited them and there was no time to play around.
