Healing the Broken Billionaire CHAPTER 37: THE HEROINE
Shrinking in my bed, my eyes stared right up at the ceiling. Everything that happened today was a surprise to me.At the moment, I'm having a hard time trying to arrange everything in my head.I became a secretary, I have a sister and I was a mother. The only thing that hurt was my Mom's love was taken away from me.And to make it more difficult to catch up with this life, Eric isn't as terror as how I knew him, he's asking me something I didn't expect him to ask."What the hell, Nicole," I mumbled through my breath before rolling in bed and settling my eyes on the window.The moonlight escapes from the thin gaps of the curtains. Suddenly, I remembered Serena.Where is she right now?A knock on the door cuts my thoughts. When it swung open, Monica peeped her head."Hey," she greeted. "Can I come in?"Pushing myself up, I nodded my head and watched her march inside my room and sat on the edge of the bed."Mom loves you."A part of me still remembers that she does. "I didn't see that ea

Her eyes stayed the same, but it was hidden behind her thick, rimmed eyeglasses. Her hair is still white blonde, but her fearless aura, where is it?"Serena?"Surprise is written on her face when I utter her name. "You know my name?""Uh-- yeah?" With uncertainty, I replied."But how?"Squinting my eyes on her, I took a huge step backward motioned my hands all over her, and shook my head."What are you doing?" She asked."That is just a disguise. You're not the loser type. You're this tall," I told her while gesturing at how tall she was compared to me. "You're a badass witch from another world, and you have magic to shapeshift."I revealed everything, but I couldn't see any shock on her face. Does she remember me?"Do you know this face?" Pointing at myself, I hoped for a positive response, but instead, she placed two fingers on my forehead, and all of a sudden, we were taken by a hard wind.I yelped in a sudden change of pressure and exclaimed upon what my eyes welcomed me."Is-- is

My heart is trembling in fear as Mellon takes steps closer and closer to me until he's in reach of my hand.The presence of dominion clings with him, and I, on the other hand, is impotent in every way."What should I call you?"His bare stinging deep blue ocean eye is on me, hypnotizing me, commanding me to talk and answer him right away.On my account, I couldn't help my mouth to speak. Either I'm left frightened or am already under his charm.His eye glowed, and I felt my whole body responding, and I couldn't stop myself from being manipulated by magic."Nicole," I answered.There's something around my neck, I can't see it, but I can feel it. It's burning and piercing through my skin. There isn't blood dripping from my neck, but something's draining me.My legs weakened and eventually fell on my knees, touching my neck and wheezing for air."Mellon," I heard Serena's voice speak. There's a hint of worry in her tone as she watches my skin turn paler than how pale I already am."This

I screamed as I panicked, pushing everything that was around me. Stomping my feet and want to run away, but the pair of hands that keep me still won't budge.Am I going to die? Is this the end of my life?Seriously, after so many messed up and confusing twists I had in my life, this is how it ended."Allen! Allen!"The familiar voice of a man woke me up in reality.My screams halted and slowly opened my eyes. There, I saw Eric, looking at me with his puzzled eyes and worried face."S-- sir?" I stammered and looked around.I'm in his office.How the hell did I get in here?"Are you alright?" He asked.Couldn't find words to describe what I just saw, I shifted my eyes back at him and gasped in horror.His white shirt is stained with coffee and the evidence that I made it is that I'm holding a cup with drops of coffee in it."Oh my gosh!" I exclaimed and took my handkerchief from my pocket to dry him."It's okay, it's okay."He wanted me to stop, but he's letting me do it.He's letting m
Last Updated : 2023-11-10Healing the Broken Billionaire CHAPTER 41: THE ASSUMPTION
The sound of the ticking clock rang in my ears, the sound of air hitting things, and the loudness of silence."I'm sorry, what?"Serena puffed with those eyes rolling to the back of her head. "How foolish are you, human?"Making a face, I blew the smoke of her fire. "It's not the first time you told me that I'm an idiot," said a fact. "Although, not always, but you're implying that I am.""You have heard what I said," she evoked. "However, at this moment, you will take no aid from a golden flower. Instead, you will have to make it real."I stood up and waved my arms negatively. "I'm sorry, but if you don't know, he's married."She only lifted an eyebrow at me.Should I take the hint that she has no idea of what I'm talking about?Does her world have no couple-to-couple relationships?"Do you know what marriage is?" I asked with my arms, akimbo."I am no stranger to your kind's life. I've been here more than once," she answered with a proud stoic look on her face. "If you wish to keep y

Wiping my running nose, I sat on the floor and once again hurried my face on my pillows.Only if I could suffocate myself.From outside, I can hear Monica's shuffles.What the hell is she doing in the middle of the night?Saving myself from stress, I reluctantly hopped out of bed and headed outside.At the end of the hallway, I saw Monica's figure headed to the stairs."Monica?" Following her downstairs, I frowned when the lights stayed off. "Monica?"Switching the lights on, my frown went deeper when I saw the back door open.One thing I've learned from Monica is that she never leaves one window open, let alone the back door. The woman is always perturbed about her safety."Monica, you out here?" I softly shouted in the backyard.With the flickering dim lights sending me a signal to close the door, without any ceremony left to wonder, I slammed it close and locked it.But as I pivoted, I yelled in surprise upon seeing a familiar tall figure of the fantasy world.Mellon.What the hell

Grunting and panting, I pulled Mellon's body up the stairs."You are certainly going to die, Nicole. You just hit the most powerful creature from the other world. You are dead!" I yelled to myself and had the most relieved sigh when I had him on the bed.A forming bruise is evident on the left side of his face.Grimacing, I ran to the vanity, took a concealer, and applied it to his face."Okay, now he's fixed. What am I going to do?"Looking around like a lost kid, I found the mirror from inside the bathroom and started to knock on it."Serena? Are you there?"But even after trying to manifest her presence, not even the tip of her hair was seen."Oh, gosh. I am so in trouble."The night was longer than I thought until the sun began to rise.I can hear Monica having a concert in her bathroom, singing at the top of her lungs as if she's not going to scare some crows of the morning.Scratching my eyes, a realization hit me.For sure, Monica will enter my room. And what if she sees Mellon

"Sir, coffee with cream." I placed the cup down on his desk while he was on the phone.Holding his index finger up, he walked to the glass window with his broad back facing me.Standing by his table, I managed to eavesdrop. He wanted me to wait, so I might as well listen to what stress he's got in his head."That is why I am making up with you tonight," he said, begging in tone. "Why can't you understand me? I'm doing this for us."A selfish and irrational wife, good luck to him."When did I ever do that? I have proven my loyalty to you. I never cheated. All the women you never liked are out of the way. What else do you want me to do?"I'm perfectly amused. How can Eric be so calm like this when the Eric I knew, one wrong word, he'll explode like a super active volcano?"I'm working, Marie. Why can't you trust me? Did I ever look at any women? Did I bring a woman to our house? No, Marie -"For some reason, I felt bad for him."Marie? Marie!" He checked his phone just to find out that

Healing the Broken Billionaire CHAPTER 81: THE HELPLESS
The thunder cracked, yet there was no lightning. The thick, dark clouds were menacing, but the rain seemed to be postponing.The winter cold breeze was chilling. It brushed my skin, making me shudder.But nothing mattered to me more than Serena. Aside from her suffering, she was my only hope for setting those creatures free and for Eric, my Eric."Who the heck is that?" I asked myself, peeping through the edge of the wall and sneaking a look."Your stinking possession has poisoned you, you've turned your back on your people! Take your soul back and save what's left of your barony," Serena grunted.She was shackled and helpless, it seemed like those chains were capable of stifling her magic.What should I do?"The baron is now under my control, and you, you brought me the gift I needed. Where is the human?" The baron grumbled his voice as he questioned her."Away from you," Serena fought the urge to moan in pain when the shackles were pulled. "You will not lay a hand on her, Zeth, ever
Healing the Broken Billionaire CHAPTER 80: THE BARON
The creature guided me to a place much farther than the spot Serena had instructed me to wait. The more distance I covered, the eerier the surroundings became.Though still within the barony's boundaries, it felt as though I had stumbled upon a forgotten area.The walls were ensnared by the roots of an ancient, lifeless tree. Fallen leaves crunched under my boots and dust had claimed the once pristine bricks."Hey, slow down!" I called out, trying to catch up, my fingertips tracing the rough texture of the walls.I jogged carefully, doing my best to avoid stumbling.As we ventured further, we entered a cave. The roots now sported thorns, resembling rose stems. However, there was nothing beautiful about this place. It was filled with darkness, an unsettling view, and a palpable sense of danger."Where have you gone?" I lost sight of the creature and peered deeper into the gloom.The darkness enveloped me with an intensity that seemed to devour any trace of light, leaving me utterly bli
Healing the Broken Billionaire CHAPTER 79: THE SANCTUARY
The night was pitch black, and the morning hadn't brought any light. The wind bit into my skin, causing my teeth to chatter in the frigid air.The fire must have died out.With each shivering breath, I forced my eyes open, only to be greeted by an unwelcoming environment. I was still here.It felt like waking up inside a nightmare, trapped within its confines."Serena?" My voice, hoarse and shaky, called out for the only ally I knew. But she was nowhere to be found. "Serena?"I found myself lying on the cold, hard ground. The remnants of the fire stained the stones around me, and the log where Serena had been sitting remained undisturbed.I was alone.This was not promising.Wrapping my cloak around myself for warmth, I clutched the sword at my waist."Serena?" My voice echoed through the trees, the birds mimicking it and sending ripples through the forest.A deafening silence filled the air, so quiet that it was almost painful.Suddenly, the ground beneath me started to shake.The st
Healing the Broken Billionaire CHAPTER 78: THE WITCH
An abrupt exclamation slipped from my lips when I spotted the wolves. However, these were not any ordinary wolves with soft white, grey, or black fur like snow."They're made out of smoke?" I shivered.Their eyes were yellow, filled with rage and menace.The paws that should have been digging into the dirt were invisible as they seemed to hover in the air, carried by the dark smoke of the malevolent Zeth."The bringer of fear," Serena murmured, her hand beginning to form a defense against the gloom these wolves, summoned by their master, brought with them."Indeed, they really do instill fear in me." I swallowed the rising tide of negative emotions within me, but the scent of fear still escaped as I heard their growl crawling on my skin."No weapon can harm it while it feeds on you," Serena warned. "You must be strong.""But I'm not," I protested, shaking my head in denial as my worries started to overwhelm me. "I don't know how to fight them.""It's simple," Serena reassured me, look
Healing the Broken Billionaire CHAPTER 77: THE OBSTACLE
Despite the danger, we plunged into the water, fighting against coldness.As soon as half of my body got submerged in the waters, I felt my whole body stilled from the sudden drop in temperature."I just remembered how I hate cold baths," I uttered."Wait, stop!" Serena suddenly held us up just as we swam."What is it?" I asked.The bottom of the river is shallow, I couldn't reach it. But I can feel something softly bristling on my legs."What the hell is that?" I flinched."Don't move," Serena warned me.The waters aren't as clear as it must have been. I can't see what's underneath.Serena looked in the water with a deep frown. "There is something in the waters," she said that alarmed me.And before I could say a word, something pulled me down."Serena!"My voice was muffled. Bubbles come out of my mouth.From the bottom, there are whips of leaves that are darker than the night and have hands that vine around my limbs.I'm losing my breath, and I have nothing on me to fight against i
Healing the Broken Billionaire CHAPTER 76: THE JOURNEY
I nodded, understanding her pain. "We will end this, Serena. For Eric, for Mellon, for everyone who's been affected by this creature. We will bring peace back to this world."Justice, I don't know how to explain to her what it means, but I know that she feels it.I can hardly hear my old self whenever I open my mouth. Is this where I get to grow?Her eyes met mine, and for the first time, I saw a glimmer of hope in them. "Yes, we will."As we stood there, under the starlit sky, I felt a sense of camaraderie with Serena. We were both fighting for the ones we loved, ready to face whatever came our way.And that's more than enough for me to keep the urge to step further forward.The next day, armed with the knowledge from the Oracle of Time, we set out on our journey.I do not have enough strength to face what's waiting for us, but all I know is that I have a reason to be strong."You have such a great heart, Nicole." Lady Marmara read my eyes. "I may not accompany you in the world of da
Healing the Broken Billionaire CHAPTER 75: THE ORACLE
As Lady Marmara whispered to the water, an image appeared.My heart stopped as I saw Eric, his face twisted in pain.Tears welled up in my eyes as I reached out to the image, my hand passing through it."Eric..." I whispered, my voice choked with emotion.The image disappeared, leaving me with a sense of urgency. I had to save Eric, no matter what it took.I turned to Lady Marmara, determination burning in my eyes."I will do whatever it takes to save him," I said, my voice steady. "Tell me what I need to do."The courage in my voice shook me as well. I was never the type of person who would advance to attack.In every problem I have encountered, I face it with my wobbling legs, never with a hard face."I can hardly hear the human I read about," Serena uttered as she looked at me. "You are not ready to face the dark creature. No one is.""The only thing I have in mind is to save the man I love, Serena. What makes you think I called for you?" I clarified. "I'd move mountains just to ge
Healing the Broken Billionaire CHAPTER 74: THE LADY
Inside the castle where I had never stepped foot on its very heart, I was struck by awe when my eyes were filled with its beauty.Then I realized that I had seen it die once.Just as much as the sight of the castle is wonderful, the interior is magnificent.The carvings on the wall and ceiling, the painted walls of beauty tell the whole story of their world lengths from the beginning of the width of the wall to its end.Everything's in white, even the marbled floor doesn't seem to be dirtied.Now I feel guilty walking on it.But that's not really what's inside my head. It's Eric.Are they hurting him? Whatever they're doing to him, if he gets hurt, it's all on me. It's all my fault.Going back to it all, I wonder if I didn't receive the flower. I would've stayed the same, worse, really lost my job, living alone and depressed.Maybe it's time for me to start thinking that everything that happened isn't bad at all. The consequences are.Could I ever stop myself from being pessimistic? N
Healing the Broken Billionaire CHAPTER 73: THE ANSWER
The broken lamp was on the floor, and the bed was thrown on the other side of the room. I watched how Eric was covered with the dark smoke brought by the air.His face showed how terrified he was, but even when he was the one in danger, he thought of my safety.The claws of smoke dug into his skin, and he screamed in pain as his blood gushed out of his flesh and veins.Torture is brought by fantasy.Is it in my head? Is this real?This can't be.I have left everything behind. Why does it still haunt me?And it's taking Eric!"Allen, run! Run!"My ears heard what he said. Loud and clear, but my feet couldn't move. My eyes settled on him, planning on reaching out for him, but as I was about to make a move, a figure suddenly showed up.I sucked up my breath when it hit me how familiar that figure is.Why is it here?"What the fuck?!" Eric exclaimed when the dark figure appeared. "What is that?""Eric," I called for him, and when he met my eyes, I offered him a trembling smile. "It's okay
