The sound of bells echoed throughout the Academy sign as the end of the day class. I immediately put away my belongings and got up.
This was my first day of school being Hailey Perelman in Adelaide Academy. Being a third-year college student isn't that hard for me, back then because I'm taking Liberal Arts. But now, I need to take Fashion Design because that is what Hailey course. I just have to say being Hailey is kind of annoying.
In a distant place, behind the gigantic mountains of Dalmia. A boy named Agusto lives with his father whose only livelihood is farming.
“Oh my god! Hailey, I was so worried about you when I heard the news that you

Chapter 13Horrendous, that was the words can describe my feelings. Everywhere I looked there were dead and souls being picked up by another Grim Reaper."Name: Samantha C. RealAge: 32 years oldCause Of Death: Accidental DeathTime of Death: 3:42 pm." Announcement of the Grim Reaper next to me. For some unknown reason, I look invisible in the eyes of people here in this place. No one is criticizing nor asking about my presence here. I did not try to ask the Grim Reaper next to me because I'm sure he has something to do with it or maybe because I'm one of them so things like this aren't impossible. Well, after all, I am contracted living Reaper the only difference between me and them is that I'm alive while they are not.I was surprised when the Grim Reaper suddenly gave me two black envelopes.

Chapter 14Rather than mess up there I decided to seat at the waiting area while waiting for the who grim reaper doesn't want to be called by his name. I watch the area while it's being filled by reporters, policemen and ambulance.Upon observation, I realized that we were no longer in the Philippines. This is another country, maybe Washington, D.C. or somewhere in America.I just sighed and continued watching.I think it will be 5 pm here as the sun will set and some street lights will be on. The city is too crowded far away from the face of the Philippines it is not surprising that the luxurious cars and Americans people passing by caused my mind to confirm that I am not really in the Philippines.However, it is funny that I don't even get bored. I just stare, blankly and silently. I still do not lose that feeling. The feeling I felt earlier.I sig

Ashley did not realize that her vision was not the same as before, there was no waiting for the prince because the traces of the youth had completely disappeared."By the way Guardian of Soul, what's your name?" I stopped laughing when he asked me that. Maybe it's not superfluous if I tell him, right?"Mary, Mary Sean." There, I looked at him again. That is when he smiled so wide at me that made his eyes almost gone."You're beautiful," he said that and there, I found myself laughing again. The memory that this is not my real face made me laugh even more.Isn't he aware?"What are you talking about? You see, this isn't my real face." But when I said that h

Chapter 16"Don't talk to him again human." The Grim reaper said it like I did something very wrong. There are still traces on his face that until now has not lost its sharpness. A clear proof that he's still mad about something. However my heartbeat is more dominant so instead of staring back at him, I chose to avoid looking and just sighed."First of all, I wasn't the first to talk. Second, what's the problem there and lastly what's your problem, are you on period?" I just asked. There the little smiles on my lips gradually disappeared."Tsk, nonsense. Let's just go. I hate you human." I was completely stunned by what he said. I was about to speak when he pulled me along as he adjusted his pandora hat.

Chapter 19In all fairness, I can say that the food tastes delicious. The beef was tasty, I love it. But in the middle of the meal, I was a little taken aback when I remembered something."By the way what's with karmic death Saint?" I asked out of nowhere."I said don't—" he didn't finish what he was about to say because I was the one who continued."Call me by my name so quit it." I said mimicking what he was saying earlier, "you've been saying that for the whole day bad spirit. Why not just answer my question?" I asked with a raised eyebrow."Do you want to die?" Nonchalantly he asked.I rolled my eyes with that, "Yes I want too, but I know that it won't happen so, instead of questioning me just answer my question I promise I won't call you by your name again, Saint." While uttering that I barely waved the fork and knife I was holding. That is when I sa

Chapter 20It's been two weeks after that dinner and that reaping souls adventure. The grim reaper who doesn't want to be called by his name became missing in action. And without him, of course, Albus Wesley is also gone too.Not that I enjoy or brag about it but because Albus is nowhere to be found, many men surround the body where I live. It is no longer unknown to me that Hailey flirts many men. Almost every student at Adelaide Academy knows that, so, it is very difficult for me now to avoid the men who linked to her then."Where are you going? I'll join you, babe." I just closed my eyes to Ralph's clinginess as I held a children's book entitled The Princess and The Pauper and headed straight to the parking lot

Saint Archangel In this world, there are many things you cannot explain. Things that only believers can know and understand. Things that a person who lives only in this world to die cannot comprehend. Human life is short, that is the biggest difference between them and other creatures that quietly and secretly live with them. Creatures with a single duty, that is to keep the balance of the world. World shrouded in so much mystery. Mysteries only a few know and will remain to know. While walking down the hallway of the school now called Adelaide Academy that when I last visited was a forest. A forest that creatures like me call a paradise. That place is sacred and unholy souls are not admitted. A paradise where I remember my siblings and I playing and happily visiting the world with Dad. But many things have happened, as fast as the weather in this world is changing. I was punished for a sin I don't remember. Fallen angels like me and pun

Death ContractThey say that reincarnation may be true because no one in the world can tell what there is in the afterlife. Nor can anyone prove that fictional things are not true. So I, I believe that in this world we have things we don't know but it's better that we just don't know."I'll borrow this book," I uttered while reaching the book to the Librarian. The book is entitled Death Contract. When I read its description earlier the book already caught my attention. So I took it."You're just reading novels again, how old are you? What course are you in? You should be studying!" I couldn't help but wince when the librarian reprimanded me. Yet I laughed and scratched my head before I answered."Ma'am Rita, my course is journalism. Let me go, my brain is sharpened when I read." I explain. Something that made the librarian shook her head and laughed at later."You're not gettin
Death Contract Epilogue
EpilogueIn every story, I read there are two endings. It's either happy or sad. Half of my life was revolving around thinking how a fairy tales book, novel, short story or parable would end. But this time I was thinking about how would my story end. Is it true there is a happy ending? Is it true that everything has an ending? Or is dead the end of everyone? Because while thinking deeply my story started when I died. So if death is the ending of everyone, it seems very impossible. Yet in life, I know everyone has a role to play before they passed away and that thing God has shown me that many times in different ways."Class dismissed!" I quickly stood up when I heard that word from our last professor today. I quickly put my things in the bag before standing up to leave. But Stephen suddenly approached me."Hey!" he greeted me still hesitant. Yet to get rid of his hesitation I smiled back at him.

Chapter 60After that conversation, I completely lost consciousness and woke up in my bedroom in the Perelman mansion. I was expecting to wake up with Mrs Perelman's face or Hazel's to see but none of them is here, because now, I am alone in the room that only the TikTok of the clock can be heard around.I sighed and there I decided to get up. But that's when I noticed a wet towel placed on my head. My breathing was also weird and it was a bit chilly which made me feel bad. That's when I realized something. Looks like I had a fever.I sighed again.I planned to get up first to go out but that plan of mine stopped when I saw Saint standing at the foot of the bed and just watching me there. When our eyes lock I couldn't help but hold my breath. The last thing I remember is his crying face. Now, he is back to normal, his face has no expression again. It was so cold that it didn't seem to be able

Chapter 59But my step across the bridge stopped when Saint began to speak."I didn't kill your mother." That word is all I hear from him but my blood is now boiling. I forced a deep breath to suppress the anger ruling in my chest. I want to think first of everything I will do in front of him now. I wish I knew how to answer him gently and not get angry with him again or slap him. "Listen to me, I didn't kill your mother Mary." But it seems that he intends to drain my patience today. "Again, I didn't kill Eve, Mary. I-It was a fated death." But after I heard what he said today, it seemed like all my restraint of anger ended in nothing. I quickly turned back to him and slapped him hard. A slap I know he will never forget."Saint, do you think you can still fool me? I know everything, my two eyes saw! You killed my mother. You killed her! You killed her! You killed her!" I couldn't stop punching and scolding hi

Chapter 58After that conversation, I instructed driver Arjo to visit the Perelman family's former home. And he was right, it was just a few corners away from our house. No wonder it looks like Hailey and I met before. Maybe I was too young then so I can't remember or maybe it's part of my forgotten memories.Driver Arjo told me many more stories as we toured the old house. I can't help but compare the mansion of the Perelman's to this place. It seems like they just had a simple life back then. A simple little house, simple door, no stairs, no second floor and a clean house. I also noticed that there was a garden in the backyard, but it was abandoned now though it still looks like being cleaned so no moss can be seen, unlike my previous house to my previous life.Driver Arjo said Mary and I often chase in the backyard. So that's where I chose to go after touring the house. I can't understand the feeling but t
