CHAPTER TWO ‘Nightmare 2’
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56“Jarry!” I snapped, about to blurt out all the anger in my heart but he interupted me before I even got started.
“-Don't come any closer, bitch. I already know the truth about you!” He yelled, his eyes filled with tears that made me laugh like the psycho I was.
He even called me a bitch!
I chuckled internally hitting my boobs lightly that the small crowd that had gathered started looking at me as though I had gone mad. They weren't wrong though. I was mad! I was fu*king mad! I hadn't started acting up and he already called me a bi*ch
I was about to vent when my eyes spotted Kelly looking at me with a smirk evident on her face.
That was an emotion she couldn't quickly change even when she met my eyes. I immediately felt the disagreement between me and Jarry had something to do with her.
“Bitch what'd you say to my husband?” My legs started walking in Kelly's direction and she started retreating, her eyes filled with tears.
That instantly cracked me up. When did Kelly suddenly become a weak woman? Was it because Jarrod was here? Was it because she was scr*wing Jarrod? Was that bitch fu*king my husband?!
“Oh, cut the crap!” Jarrod stood in front of Kelly, protecting her from my claws.
“Bella, what's going on?” Alexa, one of my other friends asked but I ignored her. Wasn't Kelly my best friend? If she could snitch on me to my husband then Alexa would probably do worse.
“Enough Bella! Jarrod already knows the truth about who you really are so stop pretending and tell the whole family the truth” Kelly said with a shaky voice surprising me.
What truth? Jarrod knew everything about me. The fact that I grew up in the slums and the fact that I used to pick people's pockets to survive, the fact that I killed my own parents. He knew everything!
“Kelly, what are you talking about? Why are you making a scene here?” Alexa asked, standing in front of me but I pushed her out of my sight and stood in front of Jarrod.
“What is she saying husband?”
Suddenly Danielle was by my side while glaring at Jarrod. Her eyes asking why he and Kelly were making a scene.
“What's going on here?”
Kelly stood pitifully behind Jarrod with tears in her eyes, “Your daughter in-law has betrayed you”
I bursted into laughter at what Kelly was saying. Was she talking about the time I didn't practice cooking Spaghetti and fish soup like mother-in-law desperately wanted me to? Was there really a need to create such drama because of food?
“It appears that Bella has been cheating on Jarrod with Cameron for a long time now, and I have evidence to prove that I'm telling the truth. I might be her friend but i care about this family and I can't let this cheap wh*re cheat you this way!” Kelly cried keeping her voice loud.
The smile on my face disappeared after hearing Kelly speak but suddenly I bursted out laughing again.
“If you want to frame me at least frame me with someone I can have a chance to sleep with not Cameron!” I aimed to hit Kelly but Jarrod kept getting in my way.
It was fu*king annoying. How could my smart husband fall for such obvious lies? Was it because he had cheated on me many times that he thought I would be as cheap as him and open my legs to any guys that came my way?
Kelly however continued blabbering while holding onto my stupid husband's arm, “Now she is carrying Cameron's child and wants to abort it so that Jarrod wouldn't know or suspect a thing. How could you want to kill a child because of your own selfish deeds?” Kelly said, pretending to cry but I already knew her techniques. She wanted to manipulate everyone and look like a saint in their eyes.
Before I could say anything, Alexa walked over to Kelly and slapped her hard on the face causing Jarrod to hold Kelly in his arms and glare at Alexa.
“How dare you touch her you pest! You're nothing but a bad influence on Bella!” Jarrod roared even louder than a wolf that I was beginning to worry. Wasn't I, his wife right in front of him?
How could.. how could he believe her?
The smile on my face disappeared and I froze, unable to say a word.
“How could you, Kelly! After everything we've done for you, is this how you'll pay us back? You're nothing but a-”
“Shut up Alexa! this is a family matter. Do not interfere! and this is about Bella anyway, can't she speak?” Jarrod yelled walking intimidatingly towards Alexa.
Knowing Alexa was scared of men's contact I pushed myself between then and looked at Alexa in the eyes pleadingly, “Please don't make this harder than it already is”
Despite Alexa timid nature, she shook her head at me “No! You need to show this b*tch her place. Are you blind Bella? Can't you see that your marriage is at the verge of breaking apart? Will you step down like a coward and let her take your place?” Alexa asked making me look away.
I was ashamed of Jarrod's and I relationship.
He couldn't even trust me, his own wife.
Jarrod's mother glanced around before saying, “Show us proof that Bella is cheating on my son, then Jarrod will decide what to do”
I mentally applauded my mother-in-law but my happiness was short-lived when Kelly opened her purse and brought out photos containing pornographic content of me and Cameron loving each other on the bed.
I recognized that bed. It was my bed, in Jarrod's and I room.
I snatched the photos from her hand and took a closer look. I was in shock.
Did I really sleep with Cameron?
I shook my head quickly. No! That bitch was trying to confuse me.
Cameron came to visit two months ago and we both drank but Jarrod was home, there was no way.. I shook my head letting the photos drop on the floor.
“I never did this,” I murmured shaking my head repeatedly.
There was no way.
There was no way.
There was no way.
I kept repeating in my head untill I got a hold of myself.
Kelly was really good at manipulating people. Even I almost believed I slept with my husband's friend.
I looked at Jarrod pleadingly, not sure how to console him. Even I almost believed Kelly's lies. “I didn't do it, I swear” I cried walking towards him but he kept moving backwards.
“Jarrod-”
“-Pack your things and leave this house, I don't want to see your face ever again” he interupted and that was when I knew that things were more ugly than I originally thought.
“Would you trust a stranger over your own wife?” I was so frustrated that I didn't even know how to defend myself anymore.
“Answer me!” I snapped but instead he raised his hand and slapped me hard against my right cheek. Immediately, Alexa ran towards him and attacked him while I just stood there holding my cheek with blurry eyes but the tears never fell.
I couldn't even stop Alexa and Jarrod from fighting. I just stood there like a rock, shocked by everything that was currently going on. It was like a nightmare.
I could only hear the conversation between Jarrod and his mother after regaining myself from the shock.
“Jarrod don't be stupid, Bella won't leave this house she's pregnant!”
“With Cameron's child” Jarrod added and I shook my head repeatedly refusing to let Kelly lies get into my head.
“Jar-”
“No ma, I've made my decision,” he cut her off harshly and instantly, i ran out of the sight of everyone feeling extremely ashamed and embarrassed.

I wasn't sure how but I found myself knocking in front of a small house with a black Ferrari car parked in front of the house giving passerbys the impression of a rich man paying a poor prostitute a visit.After asking a lot of people about how I could find Cameron, someone who seemed close to him wrote the address of this house and I couldn't believe it.The CEO of SanVanguard industries. How could he live in such a shabby place?Because of my situation though, I didn't keep doubting. Instead, I knocked hard on the door screaming Cameron's name like a crazy fellow.I just wanted him to help me out, slam some sense into my husband's head and tell him the two of us didn't have an affair. Even if Jarrod wouldn't believe me, he would believe the friend he'd known his entire life right?I kept knocking but I received no response, it seemed no one was in the house but I didn't give up. I had nowhere to go now. If Jarrod was really serious about divorcing me then I'd really be doomed. I had
The ex-wife CHAPTER FOUR ‘New memories’
My eyes darted open after feeling a tingling sensation on my neck. I gasped and looked up to the unfamiliar ceiling above my head. 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. However, I kept running past the apple and coconut trees. Where I was running to, I didn't know but I was hoping wherever I was running to would give me an answer to my questions.Suddenly a green snake cr
The ex-wife CHAPTER FIVE ‘Innocence’
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
The ex-wife CHAPTER SEVEN ‘Cook’
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

“I'm sorry for yelling at you even though you've been nothing but good to me. So.. can you please stay at my house.. To work as a cook!”Cameron froze for a moment but I could see the tiny smile already spreading throughout his face, “Are you serious?”I pretended to be annoyed and started shoving the heavenly pancakes into my mouth, “If you don't hurry and eat I might change my mind”He smiled back and we ate breakfast together. 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
The ex-wife CHAPTER NINE ‘Chance’
“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
The ex-wife CHAPTER TEN ‘Creating memories’
I woke up as early as 5am, took a shower, brushed my teeth and dressed in the most colourful bright yellow flawless gown in my closet. I had planned something special today to impress Cameron.I tiptoed to the kitchen and started mixing flour and eggs, I wanted to make breakfast today to thank Cameron for cooking throughout these days with me, I knew it was hard and I wanted him to recognise my appreciation. I followed the best recipe in my favourite cooking book and made sure not to add a lot of sugar in the pancakes.When I was done, I arranged the dining room and knocked on Cameron's room. I didn't get a response immediately. I tried again and I heard a voice behind the door, “What do you need?”I cleared my throat nervously, “I-i made breakfast, for you. I mean f-for us” The door opened immediately and I was met with a shirtless hot man with droplets of water dripping off his shirt, “You made breakfast?!” he chuckled runni

“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

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

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?

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.

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.

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?”
