CHAPTER ONE ‘Nightmare’

Author: Psycho.E
last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

It had been two weeks since i discovered that I was pregnant, like many women, i was excited when i found out about it at the hospital. My husband's mother, Danielle was there with me. She was very happy to finally become a grandmother after a few years of pestering me and Jarrod to give birth to a child.

I didn't tell my husband, Jarrod about it yet because today was our anniversary and also my birthday. I wanted to announce it to everyone downstairs and surprise Jarrod.

I took a deep breath and looked beside me but Jarrod wasn't in bed. It was quite unusual because Jarrod never got out of bed as early as 6am in the morning. It was always up to me to beat his arse to wake him up every single day. 

But today was an exception, it seemed like Jarrod have something special planned for us.

A giddy smile escaped my lips as the bathroom door opened revealing a cute and manly looking husband.

Like a needy wife, I literally jumped on him, wrapping my legs around his waist and trailing kisses everywhere on his face.

''Are you done?'' Jarrod suddenly asked snapping me out my thoughts.

Despite his annoyance I never let go off him. I wanted him right now, there was no way I would let him ruin the mood. 

''Good morning Jarry'' I seductively whispered while kissing his Adam's apple which always turned him on but surprisingly, he untangled my hands from around his neck and aggressively pushed me off him.

I sighed, giving up on getting it right now.

“So Jarry, tell me, what's wrong?” I asked faking a yawn to show how annoyed I was feeling from his rejection.

He however said nothing in response, instead, he started roaming through the table trying to arrange some set of files.

I ran my hand through my already messy hair. Right. It's work again! Why does his boss keep giving my man a hard time?!

I looked at the annoyed look on his face and felt a little bad. ‘I should be more caring and understanding like my mother-in-law always teaches me’ I repeatedly reminded myself.

I walked to the table and helped Jarrod fix the papers despite his annoyed gaze and hisses.

As soon as i was done, I handed the neatly folded files to Jarrod who snatched it from my hand and didn't even maintain eye contact. How rude can my husband be tonight? I would literally lose my mind if this went on.

"Jarrod are you okay?'' My voice was harsh this time but Jarrod didn't bother to react.

I tried again again not minding my loud voice, ''Jarrod, you've been acting strange since a week ago, what the h*ll is wrong with you? Did one of your side chicks cheat on you again?!”' 

''Why do you care all of the sudden, Bella?'' Jarrod asked, looking at me, anger clear in his eyes.

I smirked, glad I was able to piss him off. I knew Jarrod cheated on me but I stayed not only because of the bull feelings I had for him but because he was financially stable and also.. he was the only family I had.

I remembered the day like the palm of my hands, the day I saw Jarrod in tears. He was crying because one of his side chicks cheated on him but he wouldn't dare say that to my face would he? He lied. He said his boss wanted to fire him. Bulls*it! I knew his boss was Cameron, his best friend who would never fire him without a good reason. Even after finding out his lies, I stayed by his side like a good wife and he had no clue I knew about his escapades. Even if he knew, maybe he just didn't care. 

As I cascaded down the stairs, all the attention was on me, it wasn't something out of the ordinary though. I always dolled up whenever necessary. My mother in -law, Danielle walked towards me and gave me a hug and I smiled. Her hugs were the best thing about her.

         “ Happy birthday, dear.”

         “Thank you” I nodded politely.

I pulled away from the hug after seeing a few familiar faces from the university. I quickly excused myself to attend to them. They were the best! They all got me something expensive like an expensive red dress, black heels to match, Gucci bags!

“Omg! Thank you so much guys” I squealed hugging all of them but despite the fact that I was enjoying their company, my eyes still searched the living room for Jarrod. I hadn't seen him since he left our room angrily this morning.

I missed him already and all I wanted right now was to be in his arms. Just two months ago, we planned to have so much fun tonight and not let work interfere but he wasn't even here.

Disturbed, I quickly excused myself to look for Jarrod. Luckily, I found him in the garden with my best friend, Kelly. I immediately felt at ease seeing the both of them.

‘’Jarrod’’ I called rushing to where he was. After seeing that he it was really him, I jumped on him, hugging him tightly. However, his body was still stiff and rigid making me pout. Was he still angry?

“Honey-”

Before I could ask my question though, Jarrod pushed me away from him that I even landed my butt on the ground. When attempting to get up, I scratched my left knee on a small stone I didn't quickly notice in front of me.

A small hiss escaped my lips and I looked up to face Jarrod who didn't even look a bit bothered that I had hurt myself.

What was going on with him? Now I was really getting sick of this man! I got off the ground, ignoring my bleeding knee. 

What happened to make him so annoying and angry. I was going to find out right now. Enough hiding!

It colours were a combination of brown and cream, it looked like a block of tiles but it was really cute.“Honey..” I jumped a little when I heard a voice beside me. I looked to the side only to see a handsome man staring at me with a huge smile on his face. I was confused. I racked my brain to know who the man was but what I got was a horrible headache instead. The man moved closer to the bed I was lying on and I moved away quickly in anxiousness and fear.I didn't know where I was or how I ended up here? Unable to stand the man intimidating figure, I got up from the bed and ran out of the room only to find myself directly in front of beautiful flowers.

    It had been a week since I last saw the Cameron guy- the guy who said he knew me. After I asked him to leave, he did which made me feel more comfortable knowing he lied about me being pregnant. After all, if we were going to have a child together there was no way he would leave just like that..I was living pretty well alone in my beautiful home. Whenever I got hungry, all I had to do was go to the kitchen and I would see what I wanted to eat. The kitchen had everything I wanted and it never reduced no matter how much i kept kept eating them. Even the fruits inside never reduced and they always neat and fresh. And if I needed fresh air, I would go outside for a stroll and thankfully there weren't any wild animals. After going on a stroll I would go back home and write about the flowers that captivated me, their colours, their wonderful scents, their structure. I would also take a few bunch of flowers to my home and read the romantic novels I found in the

    “Omg! These are moving machines!” I squealed in excitement. After traveling for three days to look for Cameron I could now see moving machines, no longer trees and grasses and flowers. And inside the vehicles were people like me. Maybe they might've seen Cameron somewhere!I quickly ran in front of a moving machine closer to me and waved my hand in front of it excitedly. I could finally apologize for my wrong if the person in the machine could find Cameron!The machine didn't stop like I expected it to but when I moved closer to it, it halted drastically making me feel happy.The man inside the machine came out and closed the machine door before snapping at me, “Fuck! What the hell is wrong with you? I could've hit you with my car and run away if I weren't so nice. Now what-”“-I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to” I interupted before the man could say anymore but I was surprised he used the word Fuck to start a c

    After having a mouthful of porridge, Cameron choked and quickly chugged down some water. I looked at him expectantly, “What do you think?”He blinked once or twice before pointing at me with a weird look, “You made this?” I nodded quickly feeling pretty proud of making such fantastic dish. He tried the noddles next and continued eating it with a smile, “I don't like porridge so I'll have your noddles, it's really good”I cleared my throat and started digging into my porridge but before I could even get started, he took the plate from my hands and shoved the bowl of noddles in front of me. “I'm a doctor, and eating this porridge isn't good for you or the baby. Do you want to die?” I shook my head quickly. I didn't know Cameron was a doctor.. no wonder he wasn't scared when that bad man hurt him with a knife. Mere thinking about it, I felt angry at the bad man.“But why isn't porridge good for me? I've been eating porridge for days and I don't feel weird about it” I moved my spoon closer

From that day onwards, Cameron and I became friends. We did everything together and had fun, such as exercising together, going on strolls but despite all of these. I felt the urge to explore more things in the outside world.I had gone to the outside world once and it was really dangerous, Cameron even got hurt but I felt there was something more for me out there.These days though, I kept retrieving memories about my past.In my memory, there was a friend I ha

    “What are you looking for?” Cameron asked popping out from the least place I expected him to pop out from- the tree branch. It was as though he had been watching my entire move which made me annoyed but I pretended as though I didn't know anything.Even though we knew each other from the past, he was probably just a fling to the old beauty and I didn't trust him anymore especially with what Ziyah told me. It might sound a bit weird but I felt Ziyah words in my soul, I believed she wouldn't lie to me no matter what. And besides, in the past Ziyah and I talked mostly about useful things and fun but most memories I had with Cameron were always explicit. We never really talked about useful things which made me suddenly distrust him coupled with what Ziyah said to me. What if he was just taking advantage of me.Everything did not seem right. Ziyah had not seen me for four hundred and eighty years, how did I suddenly

    “You're probably in a better place now. I saw your will. You gave me everything you had. You clearly knew you would die soon.” I said while forcing back a chuckle as i stare at Kelly's headstone. “I sold everything and gave it away as charity and donated to a few scientists to find the cure to your disease so other patients can hopefully recover.” “I-i hope you're happy with what i did.” I said. I put my hands in my jean pocket and turned to leave when i saw a familiar face knee on my grave while holding a bunch of flowers in his hands. “Bella..” he sighed. “I know i am not worthy to come here but please forgive me. I-i am sorry i forced you to kill yourself. I-i only wanted to scare you, I didn't know.. i didn't know my boys would go too far.. I-i am really sorry.” I was beyond surprised. Wasn't this Jarrod, my human ex-lover? He really had some guts. After killing me he came here to ask forgiveness. I laughed, “Jarrod.” He shivered and turned to look me. His eyes widened and h

    “Are you sure you're alright?” I asked for the hundredth time after Kelly started complaining of an intense stomach pain from the coffee shop even when i helped her rest on her comfortable bed. I felt really bad for her.“Should i take you to the hospital?” I asked and Kelly moaned painfully, “What for? So they can tell me I'm running out of time and prescribed some horrible drugs destined to make me choke and kill me?”“Fine. Just stay in bed and I'll wake you up later to do some yoga exercises, perharps it'll ease the pain.”After a whole painful week of having to listen to Kelly's whining, i felt even more scared. She refused to go to the hospital and what more? Insists she will die soon.“Let's go on a stroll and we can even bump into your lover. Isn't that nice?” I asked and Kelly eyes lit up. “Yeah!”Halfway into the stroll, i w

There's just been an accident..”My eyes caught a familiar face staring at me angrily from across the street but before i could take a closer look, it was gone.Suddenly i heard a loud cry, “Old lady be careful!”A taxi pulled over in front of Kelly.

To be honest, you never made me feel secure and i was insecure about my looks and body too. I thought Cameron would forget me when he finds a prettier lady.. oh how petty was i!”Kelly sniffed, “To be honest, I was a little jealous of your luck. You always had the good guys after you.. I can barely believe you would be jealous of me.”I shook my head, “I was human after all, it is not surprising I was petty minded.”Kelly sighed in relief, “If only I had the opportunity to live again, I would live very well.”I helped Kelly sit on the couch and she sighed again, “The only thing I don't regret in my life is meeting you and Alexa.

After so many years, she still remembered me.Tears rolled down my cheeks as i remembered everything we did together before we separated.“Bella,” said Kelly as she pulled away from the hug and drag me into her house. Nothing much had changed except the furnitures and curtains. I smiled.“Sit down, I'll get you some tea. You must have a lot of tell me!”I smiled and watched as Kelly disappeared into the kitchen.

I nodded and went back to my job, serving drinks.“So.. are you getting married?” My boss asked all of a sudden making me shake my head vigorously. “Of course not sir, why would you think that?”“Your ring” My boss said boredly. I started at the ring in my index finger embarrassedly. I couldn't believe I almost forgot about it. A subtle smile appeared on my lips on realizing how simple but beautiful the ring looked. Like a bunch of red roses.“Whoever gave you that, you should marry him”“What?” I nearly choked on hearing my boss's words. Did I perhaps hear wrong?

A demon?” I asked as he started the car.He stopped the car and sighed. “How can you tell I am not human?”“You're putting on a black Italian hat, black sunglass and suit.

Although there were a few awkward pauses in my vision, asides from that I was good.Asides from the realm elders, the council and Leader Atrix. There was no one else here. My identity was supposed to be a secret. Ordinary people couldn't know me unless it was absolutely necessary.The sky darkened and the moon illuminates the dark sky. I could feel the radiation from the moon feeling my spirit. I sighed in content and stopped in front of the burning firewood.“Kneel” One of the seven elders said and I did.
