Chapter: fiveI open my eyes the moment I hear my mobile ringing. And he wasn’t there anymore, where the hell did, he go? Did I really just kiss a demon? My head starts to spin as slowly the things started to sink in. I just made a deal with a demon, sold my body to him, and I freaking nearly made out with him. Okay, hot but still a demon, what the hell is wrong with me. And the guy- demon then just disappears on me. As if real humans retaliating wasn’t enough. “Hello who is this?” I quickly pick up the call as the phone barely literally has pulled me out of my weird rant. Well, I do have had an eventful day no excuses there. I am at the verge of losing my sanity if I haven’t already that is. “Hello am I speaking to Ms. Alissa?” I give a nod in agreement even though the woman can’t really see me. “Yes, who is this?” I ask, I am lost as to who this woman is and why she decided that it was prefect time to call me at ten in the night. Who does that? “I am speaking from the hospital. Your mother ha

Chapter: four“Let’s make a deal.” He whispers into my ear. ” Deal? What kind of deal?” I asked while my feet won’t stop trembling. One thing that I knew for sure is that he isn’t some normal human. But what is he exactly? “Nothing serious just a simple deal. You give your body when the right time comes.” His completely pitch-black eyes are terrifying me as he speaks. Give my body? What does he mean by that? So, I exactly asked that. “What does that mean?” my voice shaky but I am still trying to stand my ground and come across as confident as I can. Not that I am doing a job at it, looking at my wobbly legs and fear-stricken face. Yeah, I am being obvious but shoot- who won’t freak out in front of weird creature. God knew what he is capable of. That is why me being able to hold a conversation with this thing without fainting is enough of an achievement for me. “Simple I just want you to give your body to me when the time comes. You only have to agree to this condition and your mother will be str

Chapter: threeCall me paranoid but how can I possibly stay sane when I just met God knows what. And yes, I am freaking out. That man or whatever that thing was knew my name and not only that he knew about my mother too which I haven’t even told to anyone. It is driving me crazy even to think that he might have done something to my mom so I press the accelerator to reach at the hospital as fast as I can. I need to make sure nothing has happened to her; she is the only person left in my life now and I freaking can’t afford to lose her.I don’t waste any time and rush towards my mother’s room after parking my car in the parking lot of the hospital. I already know the room number so I don’t have to ask the receptionist and make my way straight to her room. I am running fast as if I am being chased by some serial killer but what has me scared is that a nurse and a doctor was running ahead of me. And from a distance I can even hear the heartbeat machine going off.It can’t be my mom’s room.It is my mom’

Chapter: two "Who are you?" my feet start to wobble as the guy standing in front of me started to come closer. What the hell! I want to scream. I have no idea who this man is, I can't even make out his face in this rain. All that stand out to me is that is in an all-black attire, black boots, black pants and black pants. "How do you know my name?" my voice comes out as a scaredy cat, the shiver clearly evident in my tone. Not the best way to come across as strong, I am sure. But hey, the guy was a weirdo so you can't blame if I freak out."Oh, I know more than just your name." okay, this is officially getting more and more creepier by the second. Who is this man? What’s with him? Is he some kind of psycho? Or maybe stalker?“Hahaha! Don’t try to scare me you creep. I am not afraid of you. Tell me who you are otherwise I am calling police” I try to sound as confident as I possibly can while threatening him. Weather continues to get worse, heavy rain pouring down, thunder sounds as clouds roar. It

Chapter: one "Bye Alissa see at Monday." my friend, Julie at work waved at me before walking out or the doors as she was done with her work for the day. She seemed so happy finally it being the weekend.Whereas me? Well, it is going to be just another day to get by. Since my mom got sick, nothing has ever been the same for me. I don't like going out and drink on weekends or maybe catch up with long lost friends or whatever that everybody else does on their days off.All I ever do is to drag myself throughout the day and wait for the day to end just for another day to start. Living like a robot? It has become a routine for me. Except living like some walking zombie there is one more thing that I do with my out most sincerity and that is praying.I pray to God like every damn day while wishing only one thing- to let my mom have some more time with me.I do know, its far-fetched, she has last stage lung cancer.But I still hope for a miracle to happen!"You should go home now Alis, its late." I get s

Chapter: About :) "God didn't hear my prays. So, I made a deal with devil."-My mother was at the last stage of lungs cancer, I couldn't believe it the first time doctor told me. It was just yesterday when she was smile at me and now here she was lying lifelessly on a hospital bed. The white enclosed walls had becoming suffocating for me to stay here and stare at my mother.I didn't even realize that tears were glistening down my cheeks by now.After my prays didn't seem to be heard by god, I was getting more and more desperate. To me, each passing minute was like my time with my mom was slipping away from my hands and I felt so frustrated, so helpless that I couldn't do a thing about it.It was my last resort, if not only. I made a deal with devil.

Chapter: Chapter 39 - Old Scars Don't Heal EasyBella felt like someone had splashed her with ice cold water. As if someone had swept the ground from her feet, and she was falling to a never-ending tunnel. She couldn't believe what Ashton just told her would be an understatement. She was beyond shocked to the point that words certainly couldn't explain what she was feeling right now. And even though she had been trying to run away from him, hide from him all this time. Because she never wanted him back in her life. But now that she heard that he might marry some other girl, she felt like the man was slipping away from her. Going away from her life. And that's what she wanted all along. But now that it seemed to be coming true, she didn't like it? “So will you marry her?” Bella didn’t know why her heart was thudding loudly, ready to jump out its ribcage. She didn’t know if she wanted to hear the answer to that question. Her lips trembled with every word as she questioned him. And the question rolled out in impulse before she coul

Chapter: Chapter - 38 Love Is A Luxury "Shouldn't you be having breakfast right now? What are you doing here? Did you miss me so much that you followed me here? Awww! Bella, I didn't know you were this clingy." Ashton uttered while giving Bella a teasing smirk which did nothing except making her want to face-palm herself. This boy was seriously impossible."I shouldn't have bothered. I don't even know, why did I even ask!" Bella grunted and turned around in disbelief, ready to go back inside.Here she was so worried about him that she couldn't even swallow another bite of her sandwich and eventually gave up at pretending to be fine with Ashton leaving the table while fuming. But now the boy was cracking jokes. For god's sake what was wrong with him.Bella knew him well enough to know that he didn't like showing his emotions in front of others especially when something is hurting him rather, he would throw and break stuff like a little kid with tantrums. Either he would keep a poker face all the time or his veins would be p

Chapter: Chapter 37 - The Monster Within Him"Ashton-!! What the hell are you doing?!" Bella shouted as her eyes widened at the sight of Ashton punching the wall vigorously like a mad man and Bella shuddered at it. She couldn't believe at what her eyes were witness. It was if the old Ashton was back. That monster Ashton.Surely Ashton was still an arrogant, narcissistic bastard who didn't give a fuck about others but she couldn't remember the last time when she had she seen the MONSTER ASHTON, the real monster fueling with rage and burning down everything coming his way. The monster Ashton who loved shattering things when in pain."Ashton- ASHTON!! ASHTON STOP IT." Bella could care less about staying away and avoiding Ashton at the moment as her feet marched towards own their own accord. Running quickly, she held his hand to stop him from hitting the wall anymore."Let go you fuck-..." Ashton yelled but his words died down in his throat when he saw who had dared to grab his hand. Of course, it couldn't have been anyone else but

Chapter: Chapter 36 - Life, Unfortunately! Never in her life Bella had ever been this scared to eat breakfast with others. In fact, the chirpy girl she is, she had always enjoyed sitting together with her friends and family to eat with them and talk about anything and everything during that time which all of them spend together. But right now, to say she was terrified to even step out of her room was an understatement.Because she was embarrassed to death, she couldn't believe that she was drunk to the point that she was ready to lose herself in the electric current she felt with her body close to his. And the worst part, she was the one to initiate the physical intimacy and ironically Ashton was the one sane one to not take advantage of her intoxicated state. She had never felt this ashamed.Sure she liked how their bodies molded as one, how his lips felt on hers, how his strong arms wrapped around her into a warm embrace filling her up with a sense of security and maybe care, love? But that wasn't the point. The whole scenar

Chapter: Chapter 35 - Past Under New Light The most hardest thing for Bella was going to be to face Ashton after what blunder she had done. Regardless of her being drunk yesterday night or not. She still didn't know how to confront the man and what for.Like what could she possibly say. Her mind had short circuited and she couldn't think of any justifiable or at least convincing statement for her actions. For fuck's sake she couldn't comprehend it herself."We should forget it. Whatever happened yesterday. I mean you were drunk so were I. It was a mistake. Let's get past it, after all its a new day. New beginning. So, let's be cool about it and pretend like it never happened and be merry." Bella was trying to come up with a speech as she dried her hair with the blow dryer."Look, I am sorry Ashton. I was too wasted yesterday, I wasn't in my senses. What happened shouldn't have happened, frigging shit I shouldn't have come to your room to begin with. I just want to apologize for that. Can we go back to we were before that?" yea

Chapter: Chapter 34 - Because I Love You! "Ahh, my head feels like it will come burst." Bella was groaning as her head throbbed. It felt like someone was hammering nails in her head with no mercy. She was twisting and turning in bed to hide her face from the blaring sunlight which was piercing through the window but she felt as if she was encaged, a weight around her waist. And damn, the pillow was so uncomfortable. Aren't pillows supposed to be fluffy and soft, why this one was rock hard?The more Bella tried to stir in her sleep the more she felt like she was being pulled. Pulled towards something or someone, closer and closer. She felt a ticklish sensation as if someone was breathing close to her face and she started to freak out when she heard faint snores. It had her eyes open in an instant like cold water was thrown at her. Well, the situation in front of her surely gave her chills and her blood ran cold. She was all snuggled up to Ashton."Shoot! Why the hell am I freaking cuddling with Ashton. Heck, What have you don
