Healing the Broken Billionaire CHAPTER 61: THE FIGURE
As if fate tries to forge what Eric planned for the two of us, he suddenly receives bad news coming from the city.The angered expression on his face had me worried. Hearing his voice rise as he talked to his secretary over the phone makes me jitter."Hold on a sec," I mumbled and headed to the front part of the yacht.The sun is above my head. We just had our lunch that he couldn't finish because of his annoyance.He had been on the phone for almost an hour now, and I could sense the uneasiness in him.I suddenly wondered, if I had succeeded in healing him, why the magic still works its effect? But according to what I'm seeing and hearing, it seems like the magic is slowly losing its power.The last time I've been with him, he's been dragged by his original self. And it looks like it's keeping that way."The flower..." I suddenly voiced out.I remember Serena showing me the golden plant. How healthy it looked like, and a flower bloomed.That means someone could wish again. Someone ca

Gasping in horror, I pivoted and looked in the direction where I saw it. But there wasn't any. Shifting back to its reflection, I found none."What?" Eric asked and followed where I was looking at. "What is it?"Still in doubt, I shook my head and chuckled it off. "Nothing, I thought I saw something."Humming, he kissed the side of my head. "I think I tire you too much. Do you want to rest?""No," I answered immediately. There's no way I would want to spend somewhere alone. "I'll stay here."Am I being watched?That's seemingly unfair.Throughout the trip, I must have dozed off because when I opened my eyes, I couldn't find Eric."Eric?" I called and looked around.I noticed that the yacht was by the shore, and it looked like it was stuck."The hell?" I mumbled as I rushed outside and found the plank descending a way down on the sand. "Eric!"My voice echoed in the forest.I couldn't see anything from afar. A jungle stood dark in the middle of the lonely island.But everything seems t

Tired and feeling lightheaded, Eric and I arrived at my house holding hands and seemingly inseparable.But the truth is, I'm the one who doesn't want to let his hand go."You okay?" He probably noticed the way I stopped breathing as we approached the door.Smiling it off, I nodded and opened the door. There by the table, I immediately saw the pot of golden flower sitting by the coffee table, glowing before my eyes.It's so healthy than how I last saw it.It's glittering, and golden, and the flower on the top of it attracts so much energy. It's calling for me."Could you wait for me in the car?" I turned and asked, something that he didn't question and let go immediately."Okay," he said and peeped inside the house before pivoting.But before he could take a step away, I grabbed his hand. Can I let this go? Am I decided on what I've got to do?I don't have a single idea if what Serena told me and reminded me of in that dream is what I'm thinking right now.I've been through so many mag

The ticking of the clock counts inside my head, but seconds have passed, and I don't feel any pain.Peeping through my left eye, I saw Eric's face fighting the inner monster that had gotten into him."Allen..." he pants.He's back to his wits. "Eric?" I almost celebrated. Is he free? But there are still traces of smoke on his skin."I just want to you know," he said as a tear escaped from his once cold eyes that are now soft and lost. "I was the father of the child we did as a mistake."This troubled timeline. The story is so unclear, yet it stings right through my heart."I was the reason why your mother loathed you. When I saw you on the street, I thought you would recognize me. But I guess, you wouldn't care for the man who escaped his responsibility, right?"In this world, he was the father of my son.This is so messed up. I'm finding it hard to catch up, but instead of missing the bullet of truth, I let it hit my head."No," I objected. "I care for you more than you know." And th

Gasping, I pushed myself up from lying in bed.Catching for my breath, I let my hand fly to my face and groaned from the headache."Oh my gosh..."Wait, wait -Peeping through my fingers, I looked around and found the familiarity of my room. 'My' room.Did I make it?"I did it," I whispered. "Am I back?"Pushing myself off of the bed, I looked outside and peeped out the window.I'm in my apartment building, and I'm not in my house.While peeping out, I noticed that I was wearing the engagement ring Joshua gave me.Chuckling bitterly, I shook my head and took it off of my finger. "I am probably back," I exhaled.I stopped when I heard my phone ding, a message from Eric's secretary."I am back and screwed!" I hurriedly ran the rocket on my feet and rushed to the building while combing my hair using my fingers.Maddie's judging face welcomed me as soon as the elevator door opened."'Late! Late! Late!' says the white rabbit,' Maddie nagged. "Makes me wonder, what's your excuse this time?"

An hour before midnight, I met the deadline and I'm safe from being fired and shouted at. And what's even more promising, I made Eric amused with my work.First time."I like it," he commented while staring at the canvas I made. "I'll take it.""Thank you, sir. It's an honor." Grinning widely, I nodded my head while stifling myself from hopping like a rabbit."If you keep up the good work, you will get a better position than a team worker." He placed the sample down on his desk and stood up from his chair. "Are you willing to keep your job?""Sir."Humming in doubt, he poured himself a shot of bourbon before facing me. "Let me ask you a question, Ms. Allen." He leaned his bottom at the edge of the drawer.Looking downright handsome and hot at the same time.He had taken off the jacket of his three-piece suit. The cuffs are folded and his tie loose, giving the first two buttons of his shirt exposing the upper part of his chiseled chest.The perfect physique he gives off hurts my beauty

Applause filled my ears as the opening of the London branch is scheduled in four weeks.The suggestion for the ad design was a success for me.Surprisingly, Eric kept nodding his head and agreeing with whatever I said. He doesn't even have any idea how he makes my heart flutter."Boss' mother is keeping an eye on you, Allen. She doesn't seem to like anyone at all," Hannah gossiped as we took a chair at the cafeteria."Seems like it," I replied while taking the food off of the tray. "There won't be any surprise if she hates our kind.""Our kind?""Standing below her level." I rolled my eyes secretly and internally groaned."I've been working in the company for about a couple of years, and I've met her a few times now. And every single time I meet Ms. Amanda, she's always giving me a dirty look."Rich people."Somehow, I just got used to it." Hannah shrugged her shoulder and started eating her mashed potato. "I think the boss gets stressed over her. What do you think?"I just made a fac

I know that everything that he does is not brought by magic but by alcohol. It poisoned his mind, and I'm the victim. A favored one.Tasting his mint and bitterness from his tongue, I closed my eyes and answered his kisses.Whatever happens next, it's all up to fate.Gripping on the collar of his shirt, I pulled him close.Placing a hand behind my head, he deepened the kiss as if he were thirsty for me. His touches are neither smooth nor rough. It's in between, and that's what makes it even more perfect."Fuck, I need you," he moaned before lifting me from the floor and laying me to bed without breaking the kiss.I'm getting suffocated, but I like the way it feels because when he pulled away, I felt so empty.He took his clothes off and left nothing but his underpants. I mirrored his nakedness.He looked at me like it was the first time. The desire danced in his eyes as it raked down my body and salivated for a taste.As if I were a fragile being, his hand softly reached for my skin t

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
