Chapter 43
It was just two days into the medication and Belle was already feeling good, great even. She successfully got a one week leave from her job because of her illness; well, they didn’t know if it was contagious so they had to give her the leave so as not to infect anyone else.
Meanwhile, her assistant, Tiana worked her job in the meantime. Belle was the new chief editor and there was no way she would let Tiana remain in the same old position as before. The girl works really hard and she’d been in that position way before Belle started working with the institution so it felt right to give her the promotion.
She could pick anyone to become her assistant chief editor; perks of being the chief editor and she picked Tiana. She promoted the zealous girl from being the assistant to
A/N: This is my new work, read and review please.1"I shall stand by you every single day of my life and with every breath I take, I shall love you even more. I vow to always share responsibilities with you and share your baggage all the way. I promise nothing and no one would come between us and I shall be yours to keep forever""With every passing day, I shall grow with you, I'll be yours and you'll be mine to hold and to keep. I vow to keep our love for life and cherish it even when our breaths are fading away. Even when you lose all your hair and shrink up, I shall be with you, through thick and thin. I promise to support you and help you grow physically, financially and morally and that's an oath I'm willing to take""If anyone knows any just cause why these two should not be joined together in holy matrimony, you have our audience, please speak up now or forever be silen-"
6"I can't believe that witch, it's like she hates me because she has a problem with everything I do and say. All my opinions are pointless and everything I do is dumb, can you imagine?", the voice resonated through the regulated speakers."Some mothers- in-law are just like that. Most of them don't honestly like their daughters in law while most of them are just trying to look out for their sons, y'know", Rita replied into the mic."I guess! Her elder son just divorced his evil wife so maybe that's why she feels I'm the same, thank you for listening, Rita, you're an amazing person, God bless you", the caller ends."Thank you, Mia, God bless you too, now let's take our next caller, Matt", a beep sounds. "Hello Matt""Hey Rita, actually I'm calling from London. I need your opinion on something actually""Go ahead, I'm your girl
44Finally, after much anticipation, the day finally came and Belle was feeling elated and healthier than ever; she was very happy to be opportuned to save Roman's granddaughter.She was unable to save her sister and parents because it was beyond her power but she could save this girl and she would. She was doing this for two reasons; to wipe the sadness of Roman's face and to clear her conscience. It was a little bit selfish but she was only human. If she managed to save this girl, at least she would be less sad and self-reproached about not being able to save her family.Belle got up as early as 6am and the transfusion was slated for 3pm but she didn't mind, she was ready to wait it out. She'd never donated blood before because she'd never even thought about it until she heard about the girl's condition.She enthusiastically whiled away time by watching TV. The last time she remembered being this enthusiasti
45Belle was taken to a ward where her blood was tested and found free from any blood borne infection. Her haemoglobin level was tested as well and she was found good to donate. It was finally time for her to give out her blood.The nurses escorted her to ward 0032 where the family of the girl were waiting. The couple who bumped into her three days ago were there as well. Now she knew why she was so interested in what their emergency was. She wasn't one to believe in fate and the sorts but this was fate. Fate pulled her to help this girl for some reason unbeknownst to her.There was Roman sitting there, as well as two mature looking men and another
46A tiny ray of sunlight from the slightly parted hospital blinds covered one side of the girl's face and Belle watched her closely, studying every of her physical feature as far as her eyes could go; not in a gay way though, not that there's anything wrong with being gay.Belle couldn't help but admire how beautiful the girl was, her beauty was delightful to experience. Belle felt like she was watching a still beauty contest and this girl was a sure winner.Her long curly hair cataracted down the side of the pillow like a torrent and Belle was nothing less than enchanted. Her pale cheeks longed for Belle's caring touch as she was alrea
47The name Eve scarred Belle even more than she thought it would. She didn't ever think she would be hearing the name soon enough but she did. And of all people, it just had to be her fucking recipient. Really? What is this life if not surprising?"What the hell?!" She groaned as she woke up in the ward again, for the second time in the same freaking day; more times than she ever thought she ever would. Honestly, lately she'd been doing stuff she wouldn't be caught dead doing and she had no idea why.She tried to lift her body and the sharp pain to her head reminded her of how hard she slumped, really hard."Shit!." She cursed and pressed her eyes close to help assist with the numbness she was feeling on her head. She used her fingers to massage her temples until she realized her body was painfully numb and her fingers weren't that huge or roughly comfortable."Oh my God!" She exclaimed as she saw
48Seeing somebody die is painful to watch, seeing a dead family member is worse but not seeing your family before and after they die is the worst and Belle was traumatized. I admit, I felt bad for her.My parents invited her for lunch at my apartment because well, she did help keep me alive and I also wanted to meet my donor so win-win, I guess. I thought it would either go two ways. It could be really awkward or just meh because I wasn't generally skilled at talking to new people.My social skills were next to zero. I opened my system and looked up social skills and after searching for the shortest article possible because I couldn't stress myself, I clicked on it and opened it. I began to read it."Social skills are essential in building both personal and professional relationships. Demonstrating strong interpersonal skills can help you accomplish career goals, contribute to company achievements, perform well dur
Sophie had been stuck with the thought that Jim was cheating on her ever since she said it out loud. She didn't want to believe it but she couldn't help herself; all she wanted to do was confirm if it was true or not. She was getting dressed for a formal hangout with her colleagues when a ding came in through her phone indicating she had a text. She checked it and it was from Jim.Wear something beautiful and fancy, I'll pick you up in 20 minutes ❤️Jim knew he hadn't been giving her enough attention but that's because of his job being demanding for the past couple of days. He planned this outing since he hadn't taken her out in a long time. He knew she was upset about the whole work thing and him not having time for her so he decided to take her ass to dinner."Babe", he called out. She was in the bathroom doing her hair. Women and that shit though. She walked out of the bathroom with an annoyed expression, her right hand on her wa
"Eve–" "No, listen to me this time, Jade." I took a short step towards her. "I heard and saw everything, there's no need to explain anything to me anymore." I cut her off before she could get any further. "I know you already found out the truth, I'm here to tell you I still haven't found Remy!" She yelled out of frustration. That had to be the worst news I'd heard all month. What the hell? I couldn't believe she still had to conform to having sex with that son of a bitch, Grey. What if he just lied? What if he was never the one who sent the burglars? What if he doesn't even have Remy or know the whereabouts of the burglars or Remy? What if he just came up with the story on the spot so he'd have sex with Jade? What if he's lying about bringing back her child when in actual reality, he's unable to do that or he has killed the child or hurt him.
"So… you've never gone skinny-dipping before for real?" "Yeah." Raphael muffled as I drew shapes and patterns on the back of his head while he sucked my nipples. We were going to have sex and all but this position we were in was oddly comfortable, relaxing and therapeutic for the both of us. We were both naked and he had his head in between my breasts while his tongue circled my nipples constantly. Therapeutic. "I really can't believe it. I mean, everyone has skinny-dipped at least once in their life, you're just strange." I told him casually. "Says the one who has never roleplayed in her entire life. " He retorted. &nbs
"Let's go somewhere private." He whispered in my ears slowly and seductively as his lips brushed against my ears softly. "Where do you have in mind?" I asked him as I pulled his face up to mind and let my lips linger a couple inches away from his. "I booked an Augustus premium suite in Caesars so we can go there." He pressed on, not missing eye contact. There was just one thing that shone in his eyes with so much light and sparkle; Lust. He was lustful. I could tell he needed me just as much as I needed him at this point. His lust was so evident and I could tell he had all that lust for me. It made me feel so good. Plus, I was completely drunk while he was tipsy so that set the mood even more.
There were five guys altogether, Raphael, Harvey, Martins, Ramirez and Duke. Also, we didn't get any of that strong alcohol. Nobody wants to pass out at omnia. "Questions time now. enough talking. Never have I ever cheated on a partner." Alexa, Jamie, Harvey and Ramirez took the shots. "Well, she was hot and my wife was home and she seduced me. No way in hell could I resist that very spicy latina. I mean, you all wouldn't." "Yeah, true, latinas are spicy as fuck." We all agreed consecutively. Unarguably true fact there. "I mean, he had to be one of the sexiest white guys I'd ever
Then, sadly I realized I had completely forgotten the fact that it was a night club I was going to and I had done a whole freaking daytime makeup and it was so fucking angering. I punched my pillow to contain my anger and annoyance at myself. Then I realized I could just transition the whole thing into a night time makeup. I decided to just build on the daytime makeup I'd already done. I started out with my black color outline eye pencil. It comes in a creamy jet black that glides on sleekly and looks fantastic smudged out for a more lived-in look. I brushed some of my W3LL people expressionist liquid liner directly onto my hand; it wasn't exactly necessary, but I do it to ensure a sleek, crisp a
Are you free? The girls and I are hanging out tonight at omnia club tonight. Dress code is formal and fancy. I read the text from Jamie out loud. Thank goodness. I actually needed something to get my mind off all the drama that had been going on in my life lately. It was tiring and frustrating as hell. Everyday, something new kept coming up. Can't there be at least one normal day? Before I know it, tomorrow, I'll find out that I was actually a man who got changed with surgery and my real name is Ethan and not Eve. Or I wasn't born. I was an illusion that got life by some weird cryo means. Or I'm not human, the scientists were testing out mutation and somehow my kind of mutant turned human.
You see, it started when I was born, my parents adored and loved me. I was born with meningitis and in case you might not know what meningitis is, let me explain it to you.” "Meningitis is an inflammation of the tissue surrounding the brain and spinal cord (meninges). Viruses or bacteria may cause meningitis." "Symptoms include headache, stiff neck, fever, and malaise. Routine vaccination has decreased the incidence of many bacterial causes; however, viral causes are still common." "Bacterial meningitis can result in severe outcomes, including permanent hearing loss, brain damage, and even death." "The three types of meningitis are viral meningitis, fungal meningitis, and bacterial meningitis. Th
"You have something important to say?" "Yes, very important." Belle replied in clarification. I didn't know why. I had absolutely no idea why but I felt like whatever she had to say was big, really big. Like way beyond me big. I wondered what was on her mind and what she had to say. I didn't know when I began to panic for absolutely no reason. I hadn't even heard her speech. "Well, we'll have to sit down for this."She said softly as she stared at me with guilt written all over her features. If she was about to tell my dads about my sugar daddy, Raphael, then she might as well just get a knife and stab me in the back physically instead. We all went to the living room and sat down but none of us looked or seemed comfortable, especially not me. "What did you want to tell us? What is this about?" I asked her carefully. &
"Spill." "What?" I was genuinely confused about what she was referring to. I was confused about everything. I wasn't expecting anyone to just pop up and say anything once I entered. I had just seen Raphael off to his car where he gave me a kiss on the forehead which had been on my mind as I walked back. Alongside the many things and theories I had been coming up with while I slowly walked back to the house. And I opened the door and walked in, only to see Belle with her hands on her waist and a suggestive smirk, right beside Rodney who looked like he just wanted to sleep. "Spill." She repeated.
