Last Updated:

“Does anywhere in your body feel hurt? Or.. you feel an ache anywhere?” Nurse Tina asked concernedly while staring into my dress making me feel uncomfortable. She was a thin woman with huge googles, an a crooked smile. She naturally looked timid and frail but her hands were quite strong.
“No” I said quickly moving away from her hold.
After Cameron left, she entered my room, gave me some food and some drugs before observing my body. Asking whether or not I felt alright. She was too caring for my liking, honestly.
“When can I leave here?” I asked ignoring the puzzled expression on the nurse's face.
“Well.. your baby's in perfect condition for now and you're also doing pretty good, as long as you get enough rest you'll be just fine.. so I reckon you'll be discharged tomorro

When I awoke I was on a seemingly soft bed with a nice pillow. I looked around the room and sat up on the unfamiliar bed and home.I thought passerbys would at least, help me when I fainted and I would be taken to a hospital but surprisingly, I wasn't at the hospital.I got up from the bed and walked out of the room slowly only to be met with a long array of stairs.My eyes instantly widened when I caught the familiar whiff of perfume- Aloe! There was only one person who had a weird taste in making natural perfume and using them. Kelly! And this was her house. I remembered this house! I remembered coming here with Alexa and her friends to celebrate an occasion I didn't quite remember.I strolled down the stairs and became even more sure that this house belonged to Kelly. My nose caught a whiff of something burning in the kitchen making me overly certain I was at Kelly's. Who else didn't know how to cook but attempted it anyways? My blood boiled with rage. That sl*t! H-how did she.
The ex-wife CHAPTER TWENTY THREE ‘SELFISH’
I had just slipped on one of Kelly's red dresses that covered my stomach and big breasts well. At the moment i wasn't really confident about my body because i still had scars on my stomach pertaining to the surgery i had. My baby had to be born prematurely.. Because of my stupidity.I put a brown jacket over the dress and brushed my hair before walking down the stairs. I headed to the kitchen and fed myself some fruits.As i shoved some grapes in my mouth my mind drifted to Draco.. Such an innocent boy.. Handsome too. I couldn't even breast feed him. Instead he has to be fed baby food at such young age. Will baby food be healthy enough to make him grow?“-Bella!” A voice yelled snapping me out of my thoughts. I stopped playing with the fruit bowl and ran out of the kitchen when i recognized the voice. Alexa?“Alexa?” My grin widened when i skipped to the living room and sa
The ex-wife CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR ‘Signing the divorce papers’
After washing the dirty plate, cup and spoon i decided something, “Guys, I'm going to Jarrod's place to sign the divorce papers”Kelly and Alexa who were currently stared eating stared wide at me. Only Kelly cheered. “Let me go with you then” The both of them offered but i shook my head. I didn't want to disturb them, they were eating after all, and besides this was my problem to deal with.“This is on me to handle, don't worry” I said but Kelly stopped me. “You're really weak now, you even fainted earlier. What you need right now is a good rest, don't worry about the papers, and about your luggages you'll have to bring them back here. Won't you? It won't be convienient if you go alone”“Yeah” Alexa said nearly choking on the salad in her mouth.“I'm fine now. If you guys go with me, drama will definitely ensue. It's best if i go alone,I'll be back in no time. Just borrow me some money Kelly”“Its in my room” Kslly said going back to eating.I nodded and climbed the stairs to her room
The ex-wife CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE ‘What ifs’
I turned around to leave but then i felt a kick in my legs throwing me onto the floor. Normally, i wouldn't fall but i just got out from the hospital and i was still really weak.“You bitch,” I heard Jarrod cussed behind me. I started to panic when i realized it was Jarrod who kicked me, i originally thought i lost balance for a while..Before i could attempt to get up, Jarrod grabbed me from the back of my hair and lifted me off the ground. Then he banged my head on the wall before turning my head so i was facing him.I didn't mutter a word throughout this action. I could only stare at his hateful face and hope he would drop dead.“You- i should've known you were a bitch, even though you were a virgin when i married you.. Something was definitely different, you became like a wild horse that couldn't be tamed..” I laughed at the anxious look on his face as he spoke. He was indeed my foolish ex-husband. Looking at him made me regret not divorcing him long ago, the fact that i settled fo
The ex-wife CHAPTER TWENTY SIX ‘My boss’
I woke up as early as 5am to do some yoga exercises, shower, login to my gmail using Kelly's laptop. Then I sent out my cv to as many organisations that were hiring. I even kept my thoughts positive as I cooked noodles for breakfast.It seemed noddles was the only meal I could cook really well.While serving the food I prayed to get a job offer. Didn't matter where as long as the pay was enough to buy baby things. I could get Draco something he'd like not a stolen item like the doll I took a week ago.. That was really horrible thing I did. No wonder Cameron was really disappointed when I said I was giving up Draco, I didn't lay a good example for my son. Stealing was a horrible thing to do, I knew that long ago but I still stole a doll.. I guess bad habits could be difficult to curb.I heard footsteps cascading down the stairs as I arranged our m
The ex-wife CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN ‘Kelly's friend’
“Omg Bella what happened to you?” Alexa said as soon as I arrived back at Kelly's. It was a few minutes past eleven that I got home along with a twenty dollar bill. But in return for my hard work, I looked a mess.“I got a job,” I said breathing in and out. “I can see that” said Alexa sacarstically.“A bar job as a server, isn't it?” Alexa said and I nodded confirming her suspicions, “No wonder you reek of alcohol.” I moved away from Alexa and collapsed on the living room couch.“There's marcaroni left from dinner- You probably didn't eat anything asides from breakfast, you look so lean already. What will happen if you go to work everyday then? You'll die!”Feeling incapable of arguing with Alexa, I said quickly, “I'm only on the night shift, 5pm-11pm. I still gotta find a day job though. If I get some job that pays twenty dollars or more then
The ex-wife CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT ‘A green snake’
When I opened my eyes, a familiar pair of reddish-orange eyes were staring down at me sadly. Ziyah?Was I dreaming? Why the fuck was she here? And why was she trying to trick me by pretending to turn into a green snake! I already told her to leave me alone!“You!” I yelled jumping up from the ground. I was still in the kitchen it seems. Ziyah backed away from me after seeing the angry look on my face.“Master-”“-I am not your master! And stop following me and tricking me with your bullshit!” I raged on. How she got here wasn't surprising, with her small figure she could easily enter the kitchen through the windows. “Look, I already told you-”“-Without you, I won't be able to survive! There are powerful people from Crescent moon here in the human world these days. I'm literally a bag of small power they can easily devour if they find out I'm without a master”I froze. He

I sighed after I got kicked out of the last restaurant along the street. They didn't want a part timer.“Master- why do you bother yourself trying to work for these mortals if they won't accept you without any attachments involved”I nearly jumped on hearing Ziyah's voice, I looked around to ensure no one was watching me before putting my arms around myself due to the cold weather and also to feel Ziyah who was inside my clothes but I didn't even feel her.“Shh.. Stop talking in public, someone might hear you” I cautiously said while staring straight ahead at my work place. ‘SID'S’ bar. Looking at it from afar I felt a great sense of pride that I didn't understand quite well. When I entered the bar, I was pretty impressed. 6pm and there were already a fairly amount of customers.“Hey boss” I said kindly upon meeting a familiar pair of cold eyes staring at me. I didn't understand why he decided

“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

“Bella, are you alright?” Kelly asked while helping me from under the table. I nodded hesitatedly and watched as the grim reaper disappear right under everyone's noses.“Omg.. look at the little girl she's..”“Dead”A woman in her forties ran to the scene of the accident and bursted into tears, “Amanda!”The trailer who crushed the little girl didn't even bother to check what happened.“Hello 911? 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. Thankfully, I was fast enough to pull Kelly out of the way.“Thank you!” i said to the teenager who alerted Kelly and I.“We

I took a step closer to Kelly with a smirk, “Of course i treated you sincerely but i couldn't fully trust in the matters of the heart because i loved Cameron back then and i couldn't bear losing him. 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. It must have been fate, trying to tie me up with

Was this really Kelly? If she hadn't spoke in her usual condensing manner I wouldn't believe it was her.“Kelly?” i asked as I reached out to caress her now, wrinkly face.It was impossible.. was it really her?“Bella” Said Kelly as she pulled me into a warm hug.I was surprised, I didn't know if it would be right to hug back. 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 sat on the couch and sighed. I didn't expect her to respond so casually to seeing me again. I thought she'd

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?

“Do you want a ride?” Asked a young gentleman as he parked his car in front of me.Without any hesitation, I entered the car and pulled on the seatbelt. But it didn't seem to work like I expected.The gentleman chuckled and pressed a button near my seat and the belt presented itself in front of me and I nearly jumped.“What sort of sorcery is this?” I exclaimed and touched the belt which instantly wrapped itself around me and fixed itself in the small box next to me.“The latest human technology.”I glanced the gentleman in the driver's seat and realized he wasn't human either.“What are you? 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. Also I cannot feel your soul- you don't have

“It is time to commence the coronation of the newest council member, excellency beauty.”I was dressed in a red bright dress with flowers decorating my ankles and wrists.Today was a full moon, the perfect time for my inauguration ceremony.After a few months of nursing my health, I was back in shape. 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. Another elder approached me with a tablet in her hand.

When I woke up I felt much better and healed, the cave was warm and I was having a nice daydream- Laying in Cameron's lap next to the fireplace and the scent of his body engulfing my nostrils.I wouldn't ask for anything else.“I wish it wasn't a dream” I said longingly as the invisible hand caressed my face.“I wish I came for you earlier.”My breath hitched when I heard his imaginary voice in my ears.“Please..” I said, “Please don't ever leave me alone.”“I-i would never, ever leave you again, my love, I'm here.”I smiled, “That is good.”I closed my eyes again and when I opened them, Cameron was staring right at my face.I was stunned. Was this real?“Cameron..” I whispered trailing my fingers across his cheeks. “Are you real?”
