Shrinking in my bed, my eyes stared right up at the ceiling. Everything that happened today was a surprise to me.At the moment, I'm having a hard time trying to arrange everything in my head.I became a secretary, I have a sister and I was a mother. The only thing that hurt was my Mom's love was taken away from me.And to make it more difficult to catch up with this life, Eric isn't as terror as how I knew him, he's asking me something I didn't expect him to ask."What the hell, Nicole," I mumbled through my breath before rolling in bed and settling my eyes on the window.The moonlight escapes from the thin gaps of the curtains. Suddenly, I remembered Serena.Where is she right now?A knock on the door cuts my thoughts. When it swung open, Monica peeped her head."Hey," she greeted. "Can I come in?"Pushing myself up, I nodded my head and watched her march inside my room and sat on the edge of the bed."Mom loves you."A part of me still remembers that she does. "I didn't see that ea
Her eyes stayed the same, but it was hidden behind her thick, rimmed eyeglasses. Her hair is still white blonde, but her fearless aura, where is it?"Serena?"Surprise is written on her face when I utter her name. "You know my name?""Uh-- yeah?" With uncertainty, I replied."But how?"Squinting my eyes on her, I took a huge step backward motioned my hands all over her, and shook my head."What are you doing?" She asked."That is just a disguise. You're not the loser type. You're this tall," I told her while gesturing at how tall she was compared to me. "You're a badass witch from another world, and you have magic to shapeshift."I revealed everything, but I couldn't see any shock on her face. Does she remember me?"Do you know this face?" Pointing at myself, I hoped for a positive response, but instead, she placed two fingers on my forehead, and all of a sudden, we were taken by a hard wind.I yelped in a sudden change of pressure and exclaimed upon what my eyes welcomed me."Is-- is
My heart is trembling in fear as Mellon takes steps closer and closer to me until he's in reach of my hand.The presence of dominion clings with him, and I, on the other hand, is impotent in every way."What should I call you?"His bare stinging deep blue ocean eye is on me, hypnotizing me, commanding me to talk and answer him right away.On my account, I couldn't help my mouth to speak. Either I'm left frightened or am already under his charm.His eye glowed, and I felt my whole body responding, and I couldn't stop myself from being manipulated by magic."Nicole," I answered.There's something around my neck, I can't see it, but I can feel it. It's burning and piercing through my skin. There isn't blood dripping from my neck, but something's draining me.My legs weakened and eventually fell on my knees, touching my neck and wheezing for air."Mellon," I heard Serena's voice speak. There's a hint of worry in her tone as she watches my skin turn paler than how pale I already am."This
I screamed as I panicked, pushing everything that was around me. Stomping my feet and want to run away, but the pair of hands that keep me still won't budge.Am I going to die? Is this the end of my life?Seriously, after so many messed up and confusing twists I had in my life, this is how it ended."Allen! Allen!"The familiar voice of a man woke me up in reality.My screams halted and slowly opened my eyes. There, I saw Eric, looking at me with his puzzled eyes and worried face."S-- sir?" I stammered and looked around.I'm in his office.How the hell did I get in here?"Are you alright?" He asked.Couldn't find words to describe what I just saw, I shifted my eyes back at him and gasped in horror.His white shirt is stained with coffee and the evidence that I made it is that I'm holding a cup with drops of coffee in it."Oh my gosh!" I exclaimed and took my handkerchief from my pocket to dry him."It's okay, it's okay."He wanted me to stop, but he's letting me do it.He's letting m
The sound of the ticking clock rang in my ears, the sound of air hitting things, and the loudness of silence."I'm sorry, what?"Serena puffed with those eyes rolling to the back of her head. "How foolish are you, human?"Making a face, I blew the smoke of her fire. "It's not the first time you told me that I'm an idiot," said a fact. "Although, not always, but you're implying that I am.""You have heard what I said," she evoked. "However, at this moment, you will take no aid from a golden flower. Instead, you will have to make it real."I stood up and waved my arms negatively. "I'm sorry, but if you don't know, he's married."She only lifted an eyebrow at me.Should I take the hint that she has no idea of what I'm talking about?Does her world have no couple-to-couple relationships?"Do you know what marriage is?" I asked with my arms, akimbo."I am no stranger to your kind's life. I've been here more than once," she answered with a proud stoic look on her face. "If you wish to keep y
Wiping my running nose, I sat on the floor and once again hurried my face on my pillows.Only if I could suffocate myself.From outside, I can hear Monica's shuffles.What the hell is she doing in the middle of the night?Saving myself from stress, I reluctantly hopped out of bed and headed outside.At the end of the hallway, I saw Monica's figure headed to the stairs."Monica?" Following her downstairs, I frowned when the lights stayed off. "Monica?"Switching the lights on, my frown went deeper when I saw the back door open.One thing I've learned from Monica is that she never leaves one window open, let alone the back door. The woman is always perturbed about her safety."Monica, you out here?" I softly shouted in the backyard.With the flickering dim lights sending me a signal to close the door, without any ceremony left to wonder, I slammed it close and locked it.But as I pivoted, I yelled in surprise upon seeing a familiar tall figure of the fantasy world.Mellon.What the hell
Grunting and panting, I pulled Mellon's body up the stairs."You are certainly going to die, Nicole. You just hit the most powerful creature from the other world. You are dead!" I yelled to myself and had the most relieved sigh when I had him on the bed.A forming bruise is evident on the left side of his face.Grimacing, I ran to the vanity, took a concealer, and applied it to his face."Okay, now he's fixed. What am I going to do?"Looking around like a lost kid, I found the mirror from inside the bathroom and started to knock on it."Serena? Are you there?"But even after trying to manifest her presence, not even the tip of her hair was seen."Oh, gosh. I am so in trouble."The night was longer than I thought until the sun began to rise.I can hear Monica having a concert in her bathroom, singing at the top of her lungs as if she's not going to scare some crows of the morning.Scratching my eyes, a realization hit me.For sure, Monica will enter my room. And what if she sees Mellon
"Sir, coffee with cream." I placed the cup down on his desk while he was on the phone.Holding his index finger up, he walked to the glass window with his broad back facing me.Standing by his table, I managed to eavesdrop. He wanted me to wait, so I might as well listen to what stress he's got in his head."That is why I am making up with you tonight," he said, begging in tone. "Why can't you understand me? I'm doing this for us."A selfish and irrational wife, good luck to him."When did I ever do that? I have proven my loyalty to you. I never cheated. All the women you never liked are out of the way. What else do you want me to do?"I'm perfectly amused. How can Eric be so calm like this when the Eric I knew, one wrong word, he'll explode like a super active volcano?"I'm working, Marie. Why can't you trust me? Did I ever look at any women? Did I bring a woman to our house? No, Marie -"For some reason, I felt bad for him."Marie? Marie!" He checked his phone just to find out that
