Chapter: CHAPTER SIXTY NINE ‘Betrayal’ EDITED “You're probably in a better place now. I saw your will. You gave me everything you had. You clearly knew you would die soon.” I said while forcing back a chuckle as i stare at Kelly's headstone. “I sold everything and gave it away as charity and donated to a few scientists to find the cure to your disease so other patients can hopefully recover.” “I-i hope you're happy with what i did.” I said. I put my hands in my jean pocket and turned to leave when i saw a familiar face knee on my grave while holding a bunch of flowers in his hands. “Bella..” he sighed. “I know i am not worthy to come here but please forgive me. I-i am sorry i forced you to kill yourself. I-i only wanted to scare you, I didn't know.. i didn't know my boys would go too far.. I-i am really sorry.” I was beyond surprised. Wasn't this Jarrod, my human ex-lover? He really had some guts. After killing me he came here to ask forgiveness. I laughed, “Jarrod.” He shivered and turned to look me. His eyes widened and h

Chapter: CHAPTER SIXTY EIGHT ‘Kelly death and send off’ EDITED“Are you sure you're alright?” I asked for the hundredth time after Kelly started complaining of an intense stomach pain from the coffee shop even when i helped her rest on her comfortable bed. I felt really bad for her.“Should i take you to the hospital?” I asked and Kelly moaned painfully, “What for? So they can tell me I'm running out of time and prescribed some horrible drugs destined to make me choke and kill me?”“Fine. Just stay in bed and I'll wake you up later to do some yoga exercises, perharps it'll ease the pain.”After a whole painful week of having to listen to Kelly's whining, i felt even more scared. She refused to go to the hospital and what more? Insists she will die soon.“Let's go on a stroll and we can even bump into your lover. Isn't that nice?” I asked and Kelly eyes lit up. “Yeah!”Halfway into the stroll, i w

I nodded hesitatedly and watched as the grim reaper disappear right under everyone's noses.“Omg.. look at the little girl she's..”“Dead”A woman in her forties ran to the scene of the accident and bursted into tears, “Amanda!”The trailer who crushed the little girl didn't even bother to check what happened.“Hello 911? There's just been an accident..”My eyes caught a familiar face staring at me angrily from across the street but before i could take a closer look, it was gone.Suddenly i heard a loud cry, “Old lady be careful!”A taxi pulled over in front of Kelly. Thankfully, I was fast enough to pull Kelly out of the way.“Thank you!” i said to the teenager who alerted Kelly and I.“We

Chapter: CHAPTER SIXTY SIX ‘Another Grim reaper’ EDITEDI took a step closer to Kelly with a smirk, “Of course i treated you sincerely but i couldn't fully trust in the matters of the heart because i loved Cameron back then and i couldn't bear losing him. To be honest, you never made me feel secure and i was insecure about my looks and body too. I thought Cameron would forget me when he finds a prettier lady.. oh how petty was i!”Kelly sniffed, “To be honest, I was a little jealous of your luck. You always had the good guys after you.. I can barely believe you would be jealous of me.”I shook my head, “I was human after all, it is not surprising I was petty minded.”Kelly sighed in relief, “If only I had the opportunity to live again, I would live very well.”I helped Kelly sit on the couch and she sighed again, “The only thing I don't regret in my life is meeting you and Alexa. It must have been fate, trying to tie me up with

Chapter: CHAPTER SIXTY FIVE ‘Meeting Kelly’ EDITEDWas this really Kelly? If she hadn't spoke in her usual condensing manner I wouldn't believe it was her.“Kelly?” i asked as I reached out to caress her now, wrinkly face.It was impossible.. was it really her?“Bella” Said Kelly as she pulled me into a warm hug.I was surprised, I didn't know if it would be right to hug back. After so many years, she still remembered me.Tears rolled down my cheeks as i remembered everything we did together before we separated.“Bella,” said Kelly as she pulled away from the hug and drag me into her house. Nothing much had changed except the furnitures and curtains. I smiled.“Sit down, I'll get you some tea. You must have a lot of tell me!”I smiled and watched as Kelly disappeared into the kitchen. I sat on the couch and sighed. I didn't expect her to respond so casually to seeing me again. I thought she'd

I nodded and went back to my job, serving drinks.“So.. are you getting married?” My boss asked all of a sudden making me shake my head vigorously. “Of course not sir, why would you think that?”“Your ring” My boss said boredly. I started at the ring in my index finger embarrassedly. I couldn't believe I almost forgot about it. A subtle smile appeared on my lips on realizing how simple but beautiful the ring looked. Like a bunch of red roses.“Whoever gave you that, you should marry him”“What?” I nearly choked on hearing my boss's words. Did I perhaps hear wrong?

Chapter: CHAPTER FIVE ‘Bang’It was evening when my car pulled over in front of TMA game center near Phoenix. It wasn't exactly packed so I went directly to the shooting category. I grabbed a random toy gun that was at the side and pointed towards the target.Without caring too much about the hitting the target, I pulled the trigger and it hit beneath the red target.I sighed and recalled the conversation between me and Lenoir this morning; He had asked, “After this, where will we live?” “We can buy a house.” I had told him nonchalantly but he got pissed. “I spent two years planning the perfect foundation and walls of the house, i even made sure there was several secret tunnels in the house for our safety but you—” “—I think its better we live in different houses, for now. I took a serial killer's case and i don't want you to feel uncomfortable.” I had told and he nodded, his final words before leaving the hotel being, “Yes, that's probably for the best.”

Chapter: CHAPTER FOUR ‘Victory’I called my husband and filled him in on what happened to our house, leaving out some parts he wasn't required to know. We agreed to meet at Los Meg hotel. A thirty minutes ride away from Phoenix. I bade farewell to Amanda and took a cab there. When I arrived at the hotel, I met with the receptionist, a blonde with a nasty character, it was only after I called Lenoir and have her speak with him that she directed me to a room 208. A premium. The elevator was comfortable and big enough to fit the three people I shared it with. I checked the time after I got off the elevator at the top floor, ten minutes past seven. Room 208 was right at the corner. I made a turn and mentally sighed when I saw the tag 208 on a red door. I opened the door and instantly met with Lenoir's anxious eyes. “Hi.” I said closing the door. “How was work?” I removed my jacket and threw it on a love sitter. He really choosed a good room. “It was g

Chapter: CHAPTER THREE ‘Congratulations’Amanda and I drove to Phoenix, both of us dressed in expensive black suit. The courtroom was packed when I entered and I wasn't quite astonished by the crowd.Alfredo, the youngest brother of the deceased Drake Alabaster, sat at the front bench, directly behind the prosecutor's table.He was with his support group and he looked astonished to see me when our eyes met. Obviously he didn't expect me at court today. He really thought he could scare me.. he choosed the wrong person to mess with and I intended to show him that.I glanced briefly at Juror number 4, Anna Swift. She seemed energetic and her body language showed she was interested in the case.My client looked troubled as I approached him, “I heard what happened last night and I'm truly sorry for—”“—We can talk about that later. I hope you remember everything you're supposed to say, like we practiced.”Jacob nodded, his eyes avoidin

I must've slept too hard.I shook off my tiredness and made pancakes, eating them as they were brought out of the pan. In no time, I was full. Afterwards I went to lay on my bed and relax.When I felt energized I worked out a bit to strengthen myself. A shower afterwards and I went to sleep. Again.When I awoke, the skies were dark and I was hungry so I went to the fridge and packed all the snacks I could gather then I turned on the tv and put it on the news.Coincidentally, I heard my phone ring. I went to look for it and I found it right on the table. Amanda.“Yes.” I answered.“You're on the news.” Just when she said that, I heard my name being mentioned on the news.“..

You've been stalking your client for almost two weeks now.”I frowned and glanced up to face an amused Lenoir, “It's called gathering information and facts.”“Uh uh”“Knowing my clients weaknesses, so whenever it's used in court against them I can easily counter it and win over the judge.”“What if there's no evidence to prove your client's innocence.”“If there isn't, you just have to make them up. Most of the court's evidence are always made up anyways.”Lenoir sighed and walked closer towards me, his eyes looking through the file in my hands. I was about to shoo him off when I caught a whiff of familiar strawberry shampoo.“Lenoir!” I said while fighting the urge to kick him. He always uses my product whenever he runs out of his and he almo

“Is it because I am blind?”
“Yes.” said Violet without hesitation. “It was easy to deceive you because you couldn't see.”
“I guess it was.” Kian bowed his head, “I'm sorry for not realizing that sooner, but I won't let you be killed either. I gave you my word.”
Violet unsheathed the saintess's sword and took three steps backwards. Kian stood there, unsure of what she was trying to do.
“Your promise doesn't matter. I'd rather commit suicide than be killed by you hypocrites!”
“How do you think your aunt will feel about you doing this to yourself then?”
Violet paused in her steps. H-how?
She couldn't even bring herself to ask anything. Using Violet's distraction, Kian grabbed her right arm and moved her away from the cliff.
Then he placed a crystal in her right hand, “Go. The crystal will show you the way out ”
She hesitated, “B-but—”
She was interrupted by Kian's innocent peck on her lips, “I promise, you won't be hurt.”
“Didn't you say that was a way of sealing promises between outsiders?”
Violet's lips trembled and her hands, unevenly. Why was he acting so weird?
He was blind. How could he kiss her? How could he..
She was slowly losing her mind.
“Get going then. We'll definitely meet again when fate joins us together.” he smiled making 's heart beat loudly in guilt.
‘I'm sorry’ she thought as she turned to leave.

Boredly, Violet said, “Continue hitting him.Emily sighed and continued jumping on the man with her hard shoes while the man cried in pain, “Boss boss,” he managed to say, “Pleaee save me!”“Little girl,” Violet tssked, “You're slacking. Is that how you beat up a pervert, huh?”Emily sighed and increased her pace, “He's way too bulky, jumping on him is uncomfortable.” “Then pick a pose that's comfortable for you to beat him up.” Emily sighed and made the man sit up on the floor but he was slouching which made it difficult for Emily to hit him in the desirable parts. “I got you, little girl.” Violet said and made the man lay on his stomach. Then she lifted his head and back, keeping him locked in the painful position. “Contine.” Violet

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR 'Apologise'One day while Violet was trying to sleep, she heard a mortal call her name in prayer.“Great Xenia, I praise your great strength and your flair for justice so I am calling you to beg for help. My daughter has been bethroned to an old man who is past the prime of his life. I know she will suffer if she marries him so I have no choice but to beg you for a solution. Please escort the old man to the afterlife. If you can do this for me, I'll devote my life to you and convince everyone I know to worship your name.”Violet said on the bed, playing with her chin.She's crafty, I like it.The task was a simple one. Since the woman had prayed to her, she now has access to all of her memories. Therefore, she could find the man Calista was talking about easily. She went into a meditative state and traveled out of her body to where the old man was located. Without much effort, she found him in his room, sleeping. She smiled and pondered on the best way to kill him. Eventually, she choosed an eas

He had no idea on what their conversation would be after the steamy night but he still wanted to see her and thank her because he had fun and he was sure she did too.After all, they both came many times.Alaric giggled in his mind as flashbacks of her loud moans filled his mind. She was just too sexy.Alaric cleaned up and made a mess in the bathroom by jerking off to the distinct memory from the previous night. Everything she did to him was absolutely outstanding and beautiful. She was beautiful.When his cock finally went back to normal, he bathed and got dressed in his most beautiful robe but as she was fastening his robe he noticed that there was something on his table.

It was remaining two minutes untill the invisibility magic wore down.Uak looked around for the best hiding place and immediately choosed the closet.Five..Four..Three..Two..One..She was no longer invisible. Just then, the door opened and two people barged in along with a figure that looked like Musa's.“The deal is to be my bodyguard for a month. After that, I'll let you go.”“I don't have any problem with that as long as you pay the money I asked of you upfront.” The muscular man with short hair and an emotionless expression face replied. He was wearing blue inner wears with a black robe covering it.The second bodyguard was a petite female who had a smile on her lips, “It is my pleasure to serve you, Saintess.”Uak took in the auras of the new bodyguards and was a bit impressed.

That was good, he would easily pay attention to her then.When he reached her residence, the maids gasped as they saw him and immediately let him in.

I've already prepared the hungover soup.”Violet brushed her hair in front of the mirror, fully clean and dressed. She was looking forward to the day.As for getting drunk, she didn't remember anything regarding it. All she knew was she felt better after the previous day. It seemed she had found a gem.“Uak, there's wine in the kitchen, right?”Uak nodded, “Master, why do you ask about that?”“I want to drink.”Uak gasped, “You? No no no, you shouldn't drink! You just had some yesterday and don't you remember what happened yesterday? So embarrassing.”Violet stood from the table. “Did Alaric tell you that?”Uak sighed and Violet smirked, “Then I'll have to ask him myself directly. I'm a warrior but also a god, it's impossible for me to do anything embarrassing while drunk. I was probably elegant and poised as I slept on the table, it is his good luck that he even got to see me in that state.”Uak

I was at Romeo's.Suddenly my thoughts brought me to what recently happened, i killed Lola and Theo brought me here and I passed out. I had to get out of here but first of all, my bladder was killing me and my throat was dry.Getting up from the couch, I checked the time on the wall and froze. 3am!How did I sleep that long?Impatiently, I slipped off the bed and sighed. What to do?What to do?Do I take a run for it or ask politely for a place to pee and then leave? But where do I go? I had no one.A little desperate to ease myself, I tip toed to one of the rooms in the passage. I opened the door slowly and saw that the room was empty, I closed it slowly and checked the room next to it. It was nicely made and there was a bed there.It was obvious someone slee

I shook in fear and this time, she was not alone. Lola was with her.And she was calling me all sorts of names.I quickly remembered Romeo's hoodie. I forgot to give him back and he didn't even ask.
