“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

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

It's past one thirty! Where-”“-Where the fuck did you go?” Kelly interupted Alexa.I glanced at the clock in the living room, it was indeed one thirty. I didn't even notice. After that strange man dissappeared, Ziyah turned into a snake and hid in my clothes. I really didn't roam around unnecessarily afterwards but I could use Ziyah as an excuse.I smiled nervously and brought Ziyah out from inside my clothes, Kelly was the first to scream and run off to the side of the stairs to seek protection, Alexa went back a little bit but calmed down briefly after looking car

I waited for them to leave but.. It was too late. Cameron caught me hiding near the Ferrari.I cussed myself internally, wasn't two embarrassments enough and now I had to get discovered by him.I was expecting Cameron to cuss at me or embarrass me but the reverse happened, he turned to his woman with a charming smile, “You can leave, I'll contact you later”The woman sighed and looked at Cameron concernedly, “Are you sure?”“Yes,” Then he turned his attention to me, the woman scoffed and glared at me before leaving, “Get in the car!” said Cameron. I was about to hesitate but then I saw the tired look in his eyes so- I held the passenger's seat door but he stopped me.“Get

Work at the bar went on as usual, serving customers, mixing their drinks and sometimes, serving snacks. Nothing different. But our customers seemed to be as much as it was the previous day. So i got paid thirty dollars.The moment I stepped out of the bar I felt creeped out, it felt as though someone was watching me but whenever I looked back no one was staring my way.“Ziyah” I called cautiously.As if knowing what I was thinking, Ziyah sighed, “All clear”It was already 11pm and I had earlier texted Kelly and Alexa earlier informing them I would go to Kelly's a bit late.After hearing Ziyah's confirmation, I felt a little secure but there was still a doubt in my mind as I walked down the street.After a while of cornering a few streets I felt more tense as though I was being followed.

“Did you not hear me witch? I say you should kill yourself with this knife! You-”“-Back off, Krim” A voice spoke, interupting me and my so called brother.I looked behind me only to see the least person I expected to see. Cameron.“Cameron?!” I said surprised.“As expected, the boy toy shows up. Why am I not surprised?” Said Krim with a mocking smile that sickened me to the deepest of my cores.Cameron pulled his arms around me without giving me a glance which made me feel weird.. Why was he doing that?“Beauty and I are one. If you lay just a finger on her, I'll dig out your heart and I swea
The ex-wife CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR ‘Selfish?’
“I-i t-think I should go” I blurted after a few moments of staring at a quiet Draco. He nearly got hurt because of me. Maybe I just wasn't caught up for this motherhood shit. I stared back at the tiny knife in my hand, the same one I used to kill my own father.I felt horrible. I didn't pay more attention. I could've easily hurt my baby!“Cameron I'm l-leaving, t-thanks for tonight and-”“-Go to your room tonight, we'll talk tomorrow” Cameron interupted making me freeze in my steps. Why would he want to harbour me in his home despite what I just did?“What?” I questioned thinking I heard him wrong.“Do you want to get caught by that bastard again? Just go to your room and we'll talk tomorrow, right now I'm not in the mood!”“But-”“-Fuck it Beauty, just go to bed. Don't make me say s
The ex-wife CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE ‘Selfish? 2’
“What do you mean I'm selfish?” I asked immediately. I never thought of myself as selfish all through my years of adulthood. I always tried to be there for those who needed my help but.. I guess I wasn't really there for Draco. Yes, I thought of him in my plans but maybe it just wasn't enough.“Well.. you tend to put yourself first before others” Said Cameron making me shrug. What did he expect for me to put other people's feelings above mine, Is that it? Where's the self love in his thoughts?“What do you expect me to do? Consider other people before myself? That's not fair”He sighed, “All I'm saying is to pay a little more attention- Nevermind, go downstairs to eat, the food will soon get cold. Draco is downstairs, I already fed him. He's asleep again, so you have twenty minutes to relax. After twenty minutes, he'll wake up and want to go outside. Don't let him, it's too cold out and it's not good

“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?”
