Chapter 4 I believe you

When I opened my eyes, I instantly closed them again because of the bright light...After a while, I again opened my eyes slowly. This time, I was comfortable with the light. I tried to scan my surroundings. It was a simple room with a bed where I was lying, a table, and a wardrobe. I knew this place. It was Cami's room. What was I doing here?

I held my head with both hands and remembered everything that happened to me just a while ago.

While I was thinking, my door suddenly opened, and Cami came in. She was surprised at first, but that look was replaced by happiness in an instant.

"You are awake," she said, grabbing my left hand while sitting beside me. "You scared me to death."

"How did I end up here? I remember passing out on the road." I asked her, confused.

"Oh, so you know, hmm... Yesterday you said you were coming at midnight. I waited for years and years, but you never came, nor did you pick up your damn phone." She said trying to look scary while scolding me but I felt warm inside.

Wait.. Yesterday??

"What do you mean by yesterday?" I asked her, "Wasn't it a while ago?"

"A while ago?? You have been sleeping for a whole day, Ley (she gave me this nickname and no one else can use it except for her). Do you know how worried I was when you didn't come home and didn't even pick up my phone? When I went to search for you, you were in the middle of the road, unconscious. Do you even know how hard it was for me to pick you up to get in the car and from the car to this bed?"

"You mean I have been unconscious for a whole day?" I asked her in shock. It had never happened before.

"Sorry, Ley, I had used this month's salary to get that wardrobe. So I didn't take you to the hospital." She said this, looking at the floor.

"It's okay, Cami. I'm perfectly fine," I said. "What happened to that... I mean... man?"

"Who man Ley?" She looked at me confused.

"That naked man's covered in blood." I said.

"What are you saying, Ley? Who man ?? You were alone there." She said.

"Alone.. .?"

"Yes alone. Now tell me what exactly happened—why were you there? Why did you leave the house at midnight?" "she demanded.

"They kicked me out." I told her everything: the hotel, adoption, Sarah's deal, and the check.

Listening to my words, she got furious. "How could they do this to you? Even if you aren't her real daughter, how could she sell you for money? All these years, they made you work like a maid, and you never complained. And that wrench—does she think by giving you this check she can buy her father's love? If it weren't for her evil and unkind heart, why would her own father love you more than her? Why didn't you tell your dad about this? You don't have to bear it, ok?" she tried to comfort me.

"No cami, it's alright. I don't want to go back there. I'm afraid I can't escape a second time if my mom again plans something like this." I said so, remembering whatever she did to me.

"Ley,if you don't want to go, then just stay with me. We can both take care of each other in the future. I love you, Ley." She came forward and hugged me.

"Me too, Cami!" I said, breaking the hug.

"What about that naked man you mentioned before?" She asked me again.

I told her everything in detail. How big that black wolf was, how mesmerizing were his eyes, how my heart ached while I saw those blood, how those magician girls emerged light from their hands, how they hurt him. He then turned into a human and those girls tried to hurt me but they themselves were burned to death.

After listening to my words, her face turned pale. It took a while for her to get back to her normal face, but she didn't speak for a while. She just looked at me. After a long time, she said, "Ley, don't tell anyone about this. They'll think you're nuts. Let's find you a job and then we'll live together and take care of each other, ok?? " She said.

"But I'm telling you the truth. It happened. For real." I tried to convince her.

"Yes Ley. I believe you." She said, patting the back of my hand, "I'll get you some food. You haven't had anything for almost a day." After saying this, she got up and left.

"Wait.. " I sighed. Forget it, Riley, it's good if you don't talk about this anymore.

I don't even know if she believed me or not....

___________________________

A few days passed after that incident. I have applied for many jobs, but I didn't get any news. Cami was busy with her job.

I never went out. I never had guts either. I was so scared, maybe. But I never left the apartment. I used to smile. I used to talk and smile like I was okay in front of Cami, but once she was out of the house, I'd go to bed and cry my heart out.

Memories of my mom, the one who grew me up, loved me, and then sold me, filled me. I don't know if I should forgive her. "She was the one who grew me up all these years," One half of me said. "But she can't sell you just because she lacks money now. You're not a thing," my other half said. Whatever was true I definitely wasn't a thing. I have a heart, and it hurts.

I didn't know where Dad was. He never tried to contact me all these days. Didn't he know what had happened? My dad, who loved me all these years, lied to me. And I found this out in the most horrifying way: after my so-called mom sold me. I don't know if I should be thankful to my dad for not telling me this. Because knowing I'm not his biological child hurts inside. I don't know if I should be angry for lying or thankful for him not telling me this. All I could do at the moment was cry.

.

_______________

I am at Cami's apartment as usual. It is a two-room apartment; one of them is the kitchen, and another is the bed, which I and Cami share. I was looking for more jobs online when I received a call.

"Hello," I said as I picked up the phone.

"Is this Riley Wilson?" An unfamiliar voice came.

"Yes I am." I said.

"This is from the Golden Company. Your resume has been selected. You can come to the office tomorrow for the interview. "

"Really?"" I said, trying to calm down. "What time is the interview?"

"at 9 a.m. I wish you all the best for tomorrow. Good day." With that, he hung up the phone.

I was so excited that I called Cami right away and told her the news. And in honesty, she was much more excited than me.

She was afraid that if I don't get busy soon, I'll get depressed. She really takes good care of me.

I smile at that thought.

The next day, I woke up in a good mood. I took a quick shower and put on my oversized sweater and long pants. I rolled my hair inside the towel and went to the kitchen. I made two sandwiches and two cups of coffee for me and Cami.

While I was setting breakfast on the table, Cami came out of the room. When she saw the sandwich and coffee on the table, she quickly grabbed them and took a bite. "Yumm, it's so tasty, Ley." she said, chewing.

"Well, thanks," I said and sat with her. We both had our breakfast quietly and in a good mood. It was after a long time that I was so calm and genuinely happy inside.

After we finished, Cami insisted on blow-drying my hair for me. She even chose a dress for me to wear. She picked up a white shirt, a black pant, and a matching office shoe. After that, she did my makeup, saying it would boost my confidence.

Then I made my hair as always, collected it at my left neck, and tied it with a rubber band. After I got dressed, I also put on a coat, as it was winter. After that, Cami also got ready for her work. Then she dropped me at the entrance of the Golden Company.

    I was standing in front of Golden Company. I had given my resume to many of the companies, and I was lucky enough to be selected for this one. This is one of the top companies in A city. This company was actually Scultz Group until five years ago. It was about to go bankrupt when Mr. Willis Gold appeared out of nowhere and took over the company. And in only five years, he took this company to its peak. Now this company is one of the four most powerful companies in A city. It has a lot of branch offices in A city as well as other cities. I took a long breath as I walked towards the company. When I entered the office, there were already a lot of candidates waiting for their turn. I went to the receptionist and asked for my number. She informed me that the interview had just begun and that my number was five. Then I took my seat in the waiting area. After half an hour, it was my turn, and honestly speaking, I was dying of nervousness. I was just trying to not show

    She raised her hand toward her. A big, bright light came and hit the girl. "Arhhhhhh!" I jolted awake, screaming. I was covered in a cold sweat. Sigh, I had this dream again. This was a dream that had followed me as long as I knew. I once talked to my mom about this dream when I was six. She said it was just a dream, and I should forget about it. But I never got myself to forget this because, as I remember, I frequently saw this dream as I grew older. I knew each and every moment clearly, and each time I saw this, I would be covered in a cold sweat. I still felt the exact same fear each time. Even though I saw this very frequently, I was never used to it, nor was I fond of this dream. Every time, it left an unknown pain in my heart. I looked out of the window. It was still daytime. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom. I washed my face. I thought for a while and decided to go to the mobile shop to fix my phone. I changed into my baggy shirt and pants before leavi

    "Are you guys a couple?" She looked at me confused, asking, "What are you talking about? Of course not! We're just friends." she explained. "I just felt like he was fond of you." . I honestly answered her. "Is that so?" she asked, staring at me. "I just thought so. Maybe I was wrong," I said, breaking our eye contact. Now that she had declined,there was no point in pushing further. "Oh, by the way, did you finish the file work I gave you? Let's go to the manager after lunch. I'll show his office then. " she said eating a mouthful of grilled chicken. "I had finished that work, but we don't need to go to the manager," I said, remembering how that rude girl Olivia snatched my completed file and gave me the new files. "why?? Is it like you found the manager's office by yourself and already submitted the file, which is why you said we don't need to go to the manager?" She said the whole paragraph in one go. "No no. It's not like that. Earlier,

    I saw the cup of coffee fly up... And with a loud thud, I was right on the ground. My face bumped hard on the ground, and my forehead was in great pain. A few inches ahead of me was a pool of my hot coffee, along with the broken cup. My heart ached at that sight. I had just made that and hadn't taken a sip yet. I looked up just to see Olivia looking at me and smiling with satisfaction. A surge of anger boiled inside me. I wanted to rip her head off. But I shook that thought away and got up from the ground. I looked around only to find everyone looking at me with pitiful eyes. I quickly find Anyee's concerned eyes on me. It was quite embarrassing. Two girls named Ahe (the one to submit the files in the morning) and another whom I didn't know came laughing and joined Olivia. "looks like someone needs eye treatment," Olivia mocked me with an evil smirk. The new girl laughed out hard at this statement and said to Olivia, "Looks like you found a new

I mean for her?" I asked, as I needed to know. I didn't know what kind of person he was, nor did I know anything about Anyee. He nodded his head in agreement. He has a calm face, and I was certain he was telling the truth. "I'm not certain if I can help you or not. I mean, you guys know each other better than me. I mean, I don't know much about her or about you properly. Please don't get me wrong. But I'm sorry, Rick." I said this. I wanted to help him. But I didn't think I would be of much help... And more importantly, I didn't know these things because I had never been in a relationship. "It's okay , you don't have to..." he said, a layer of disappointment covering his face. "Thank you for understanding," I said to him. He nodded. I headed out of the elevator

  • My CEO Mate   Chapter 10 Went to sleep

    When I woke up, Cami was at my bedside with a bowl of porridge. My forehead was covered with a cold towel. There was a bowl filled with water at the bedside. I tried to wake up, but my body felt like it had gained 1000 pounds at once. It was hard even to move my body from the bed. And it was so hot in the room that I felt like I was burning. Seeing me struggling to wake up, Cami came forward to help me. She put a pillow on me and adjusted my back. "What happened?? Why did you suddenly get a fever?" She took my hand in hers. "Cami, Dad came to my company today." I told her. "What?? Why?Did he say anything?" She was concerned about me. I told her everything. It was hard to keep my tears in front of her. I cried as she held me tight in her arms. "What do you wanna do??Are you going back?" she asked as she was patting my shoulder. It was so soothing that I felt calm inside. I shook my hand. Now sobbing in a little sound. "Its okay. You don't

    And I went to sleep. When I woke up, I was in a white room. There was a faint smell of disinfectant in the room. I knew I was at the hospital. There were a lot of machines in the room. I tried to get up from the bed. I got up and sat on the bed. After a while, Mr. Reid came inside with a doctor. When they saw me awake, they were shocked. The doctor came forward. "How are you feeling now?" he asked me. "I feel much better now." I said honestly. "Good,take your medicine and rest for two days. You'll be fine," the doctor said again. I listened to the doctor without saying anything. After that, the doctor left the room. I looked at Mr. Reid, and unexpectedly, he too was looking at me. I bent my head and said thanks to him. "You better take care of yourself." he said, turning back, and then he left the room. After he was gone, I sighed and looked up. I looked for my mobile. Now that I was alone, it's better if I called Cami. I sear

    Anyee was so happy by seeing the dress. I could say she really liked it. She happily took it, then paused. She then turned back to me. Her smile was no longer there. Her face showed she was in a dilemma. I knew what she was thinking. "You can take this one. It will suit you." I said to her, smiling. She looked at me and said hesitantly, "What will you wear? I mean…. Umm you can wear it if you like this." "It's ok you wear this I will wear something else. It is a bit bright. I want something dark that does not catch attention." What I said was not a lie. I never liked bright clothes. They just brought unnecessary attention. She became happy again after hearing what I said. Then she went to the changing room and changed into her red dress. The dress was T-shaped, from the lower neck to the mid-thighs. It perfectly showed her necessary curves and long, slender white legs. She was snowy white, and that bright red dress made her look so gorgeous. Her age looked

You are my best friend either you tell me or not. When I was talking to Cami, I smell something very sweet and strong scent out of the door, my heart suddenly started to pace up faster and faster. Eva also appeared in my mind as she sniffed the scent even more. "Mate" a word escape her lips as there was anger in her eyes. I can't word out my feelings that I felt at that moment. I don't know if I was happy or not. I just felt my heart beating like a drum faster and faster. I tried to calm myself as I feel the scent coming closer and closer to the room.

    One day I was in my room, sitting under the bed thinking about these and that when I heard someone approaching to my room. I pretended to be asleep just to ignore the person but the person came to my room. The smell had made me clear who the person was, it was Liam. I was wondering when he call out my name all of the sudden. Riley I played deaf and stay silent inside my quilt to ignore him. Riley he called again and again. When I don't talk to him after so long, he sat on the edge of my bed at the end. He take a deep sigh before speaking "I never thought things would turn out like this" He continued "You can't stop leaving just because Mr. Gold left you." This time I sat up on the bed, he was right but there was nothing to be happy about in my life.

Who?" he tried to play dumb but I wasn't in the mood at all... "Where is Mr. Gold? when is he coming back" I asked him again. He went silent for a moment before sighing. Only then he opened his mouth He is never coming back and I'm no allowed to say anything to you. He gave you eighty percent of his property and asked me to take care of you ... But why?

    I felt like I have been paralyzed, I no longer was able to move my body. I felt intense pain in my body as if all the bones were breaking into pieces. I fell on the ground on my knee and my whole body was hurting so much. "Mate" I still could hear as Eva said so.., wait for what? Mate? wasn't it the voice I keep hearing from time to time... what the hell was going on? I tried to scream due to pain but I wasn't able to speak. Just then Beast turned towards me and walk slowly. His beautiful black eyes were glowing in the night. The pain in my body had reached its limit... I felt like I was locked up and all I could do was to watch, watch whatever I was seeing. I looked at my hand as it was in pain and then under the moonlight, it begin to change. at first, the hair on the hand was bushed up and then the hair was spread all over the body. I was so panicked as it happened, was I turning into a monster? I was looking down as my longs fingers and small nails were gone, inste

"Liam" I called out for him and my voice drag him back to this world "huh? Ms. Wilson what are you doing here?" he asked me. I gave him a weak smile before answering him with a question "Where is Mr. Gold?" He seemed a bit akward as he turned to the man and ordered "Please leave us alone for a while. Do as I say and came to me before going home" he said to the man. The man nodded at us and leave the office with mw and Liam looking at each other. "So?" I asked him.

    He seems to hesitated for a moment but eventually he agreed and got out of the room to get me medicines and warm water. I was still on the bed lying lifelessly with my body as hot as lava. It was quite weird that I would recover any injury and wound but my fever wasn"t leaving me alone. I tossed and turned in the bed with my rapid breathe and dry throat. In a while uncle Frank entered the room with a tray having a glass of water and medicine in it. He helped me seat up straight and shoved it at my back. When I was done sitting he handed me the war water and medicine in my hand. I drank the water and also gulped down my medicine with it. When I was done with it Uncle Frank helped me settling down the bed again. After that he left the room with concerned eyes. It was sure hard to keep my eyes open for sure but it doesn"t mean I was asleep or something like that. I tossed and turned whole night only to found myself awake until midnight. But the worst part was that Mr. Gold

Your smelling sense is indeed strong" uncle Frank praised me as he come to the living room. "Strong?" I repeated the sentence in confusion.
