Chapter 148 Ex’s and Oh’s

The spirit explained gloomily, “My name is Stella. I was born in another city, to an upper-middle-class

family. My parents had a mansion. And since I was the only child they had, I was the sole inheritor of

the estate. Before studying at the university, I was the perfect kid every parent asked for. But when I

moved out and studied at a university, I had my first taste of freedom. Like a caged bird who could fly

once more, I did all sorts of things. I went to clubs and parties. Because I was rich and beautiful, I was

popular. My first boyfriend was from the very same city. His family background was similar to mine so

we got along very well. But after six months, I got bored of it.”

“But why?” Lilly scratched her head. Adult relationships were a mystery to her. How could someone like

something and stop liking it the next day?”

“Because…” The spirit pondered. “Because I knew him too well. I could already imagine how my life

would be with him. It was boring. And then, another guy came into my life. He came from a village. He

was shy and meek. Sensible too. I liked that a lot. So I broke up with my first boyfriend and got together

with him.”

“Since you liked the second guy, did you spend the rest of your life with him then?” asked Lilly.

The spirit shook her head. “No, we broke up after a month.”

“Why?” Lilly was stumped.

“He was too meek. Too clingy.”

Lilly was confused. The spirit dated the second guy because he was meek. But she also broke up with

him because he was meek. What?

“And then?” It was Pablo’s turn to ask questions.

“After I broke up with him, I craved attention again. I started thinking that perhaps the first boyfriend I

had wasn’t that bad. I tried to reconcile with him. But then, I ran into my senior. He was outgoing and

warm.”

“And you got together with him?” Lilly didn’t need to predict to know that.

“I couldn’t help it.” The spirit protested. “He was so handsome and nice.”

“Now that’s why you’re a harem spirit. You wanted a harem,” Pablo commented.

“That’s not true!” The spirit defended herself. “I was 100% committed to all my relationships. I like the

feeling of being with another man. Especially the honeymoon phase, when you can do all the romantic

stuff with your boyfriend.”

“So were you killed in a crime of passion?” Pablo was as snarky as always.

“Not really…” The spirit lamented. “After my graduation, my family asked me to get married as soon as

possible. Somehow, they heard that I dated my first boyfriend. Since his family and mine were close,

our parents wanted us to reconcile. I was single during that time and I wanted to settle down. So I said

yes. Soon enough, we were considering getting married. We weren’t as close as we used to be, but it

was romantic, nonetheless. That was when I found banality comforting too. I was ready to marry him.”

“I suppose you stopped seeing other men then?” the quiet Josh suddenly spoke up.

“No.” the spirit shook her head. “My second boyfriend came to me. He said that he could never forget

about me. And now, he could only offer his blessings to me. He took me to a firework show. He said I

deserved to be happy. I saw tears rolling down his cheek as the fireworks erupted before me.”

“What a kind soul,” said Lilly as she hugged Polly.

“Ptooey!” The spirit spat. “He was the reason I died. When I noticed he was crying, my heart ached. In

the end, I still loved him. But I was about to be engaged. And I still loved my first boyfriend. What did I

do? I dated both of them at the same time. And I did it while I was organizing the wedding ceremony.

The thrill lent me the illusion that I was more in love with my second boyfriend. I wanted to break up

with him. Because it wasn’t fair. But he said no. He said he just wanted to stay by my side. Even if we

had to hide this affair. I was in tears. I couldn’t let this poor boy live on his lonesome. So I gave him my

mansion and bought him a car.”

“But after a few days, he ghosted me. I was organizing the wedding ceremony so I was too occupied to

think about him. I thought he was just hiding somewhere to heal his wound. Even when I said my vow

in the ceremony, I was still thinking about him. It wasn’t until later that I learned the fact that he had sold

the mansion and the car before fleeing. And guess what, he fled with my third boyfriend! The

handsome senior! My ex took my money and eloped with my other ex! How ridiculous was that?”

The spirit was fuming.

“Those liars!” She continued. “My husband found out everything very soon. He was so mad because I

cheated on him. He wanted a divorce right away. I refused to sign the papers but he was ready to leave

me. I tried to coerce him with my life so I climbed the tallest building in that residential area. I didn’t plan

to jump. But perhaps it had rained before so it was slippery. I fell and… voilà.”

Josh, Lilly, and Pablo felt bad for the harem spirit.
