Healing the Broken Billionaire CHAPTER 52: THE MONSTER
Despite being watched by Marie's eyes, I had myself inside Eric's building.I can feel the questioning look from the workers in the building eyeing me. Perhaps they're told to watch every step I take and every move I make.But does it bother me if they're watching me?No, I have my purpose, and I've got worse problems than dealing with an egoistic and paranoid woman.As soon as I stepped inside the elevator, I was welcomed by Maddie, who was struggling to carry four boxes in her arms."Good morning!" She vigorously greeted me with her signature smile that showed her gummy teeth.It's so weird seeing her like this.Although I never hated her, I kind of don't like her. There's a huge difference in that.She only sees me. But who wouldn't? I was probably the tardiest worker in the building before."Here, let me help you," I offered, and before she could argue, I had already taken two of the boxes from her. "You design ads. What's with carrying these things?" I asked.Using the edge of th
Healing the Broken Billionaire CHAPTER 53: THE ADMITTANCE
In and out of his office, Eric doesn't want to share what he saw, but his actions speak louder than his silence."Coffee, sir?" I asked, which he declined at the very nearest opportunity he had.Passing by me like a wind, he headed to his pantry and came back, taking nothing with him.I swear, I'm getting dizzy from him going back and forth worse than not having a good night sleep at all."Allen, call Schmidt and tell him that I will reschedule our meeting next week," he told me before entering his office before I could even nod my head.But as he approached the door, he suddenly fell on his knees, screaming in yells.His limbs are tweaking like he's having a seizure."Oh my!"Running straight to him, I knelt on the floor and rolled him. But what I saw caused me to yelp.There it is again, his eyes. As if there's black ink spilled to them and the sides of his lips run black lines."Eric!"A sudden whooshing air from the end of the hallway stopped me from panicking, yet it caused me my
Healing the Broken Billionaire CHAPTER 54: THE MESSAGE
Gasping upon seeing her face, I can't believe that I'll see her again."Serena?""Don't I look like myself?" She sarcastically replied with her arching eyebrows."But I thought you were taken by the dark entity?" I confusingly recalled what Mellon told me about her situation."It's me, you silly girl."I paused. That name-call.It's not the Serena from this timeline. It's the Serena I know!"Is that you?" I tried sitting up, but the pain in my stomach had me dragged back down in bed. "Damn it!""What's wrong with you?"Sighing, I calmed myself and the throbbing pain before speaking. "I was attacked by an unseen force, and it took Eric somewhere in your world."Panting, I recalled the last things I remember."And Eric, there's something wrong with him. It's like, he's possessed by something," I added.The look in his eyes will haunt me for the rest of my life, I can still feel the chills he gave me when he grabbed my foot.It's not him, I know. But I saw the monster that was living ins
Healing the Broken Billionaire CHAPTER 55: THE CYCLOPEAN
I could feel the prickling pain on my feet as I ran through the forest. My hospital gown earned lashes from the sharp ends of branches and vines, yet I didn't stop running.As soon as Serena sent me away, I didn't dare look back even if I heard how the dark entity screeched.Panting harshly, I dropped next to a giant white tree that wasn't eaten by the wildfire spreading throughout the forest where Mellon spends his time.Passing by the treeline, my eyes were welcomed by fleeing creatures.Above is like a border of light and darkness.I feel like I entered a new dimension where living things have begun to evacuate themselves while the light is still upon them."What the hell?" I mumbled through my breath as I took steps towards the nearest creature that was hurrying in fear of being caught by the darkness.Trying to blend in, I snatched a robe that was left lying above a humongous mushroom that was lit in blue and white and covered myself with it."You better be right about your choic
Healing the Broken Billionaire CHAPTER 56: THE VENOM
Picking up the heavy sword that drags my weight down, I put on the face of a green warrior and thinned my lips.I can read anger on its face as it looks at me."Watch out!" The girl screamed when one of the trolls kicked its stinking foot in my direction.Reflex is the last thing my body could have as shock invaded my whole system. I couldn't move, I couldn't react.I just closed my eyes and began accepting my fate. I should've known that I could never be a dark horse, let alone face a group of trolls who want to step on me and erase me from existence.Waiting for the impact, I stood there frozen. Air blew my hair and brushed my skin, but nothing happened to me. Did I fly? Am I dead again?Opening my right eye to pee at what's up, my eyes went wide upon seeing the bottom of the foot of the troll just an inch away from my face.The skin turns from pale pink to the colorless rock that cracks and smokes the dust underneath.Whimpering from fear, my grip on the hilt of the sword turned we
Healing the Broken Billionaire CHAPTER 57: THE CURIOSITY
"You're thinking deep," Serena noticed. "You're not dying anymore."I snorted at what she said last and gave her a calm expression. "Get ready for the twist because I'm a bad weed, and it will be hard for me to die."Serena held a small smile on her face as she heard my original tone of talking."Imagine it," I said. "I was already hopeless when I felt the cancer eating me from the inside. Like, I'm living the time I had left while being scared that I would leave everything behind."Sitting inside a cave where the endless sparkling falls gushes from the top of the mountain and onto a cold pool that was never full.Safe inside, warm, and solemn.Serena built a blue flame to keep us away from the cold breeze blowing from the outside.It was a long journey to where we were, but with Serena's charm, she found us the safest place to stay the night.Away from the darkness, away from any unfortunate situations, and, of course, from any trolls at all."I was thinking about a lot of things bac
Healing the Broken Billionaire CHAPTER 58: THE PRISONER
My jaw dropped upon seeing its face, I could no longer recognize him. The darkness is shown in his eyes, and his skin has crawled by the black veins.He's wearing a cloak, and black smoke comes out of his hand.His smile which used to be brighter than the sun became the grin of the devil."Eric?" I shakily uttered his name.Fear consumed my system even more when his hand wrapped around my neck and pulled me close."No!" I tried to push him away, but his strength made it impossible for me to break free."The stench of sickness is in you, human." Instead of his comely voice, I can only hear the monster that manipulates his body."Eric, listen to me-- ah!" I yelped when he had us flying off of the cave and into the air. Away from Serena, away from the warmth.Only the sense of sullenness and fear is on my side."Eric?" I tried to call for his name, but he didn't listen. "Please, don't do this. I know that you can hear me. Fight this. You have to fight it!"Convincing his soul to come out
Healing the Broken Billionaire CHAPTER 59: THE MENACE
Morning came, but the darkness never left.Only if I could reach Eric, only if I knew how to bring him back, I would do everything just to make this right."Mellon?" I called but was only answered by silence.Even if he never spoke that much, I know that he's listening."Are we just going to sit here?"I heard the shuffles from the other pit. After hours of spending inside the pit, the smoke grew higher, making my sight limited."I don't want to be in here for the rest of my remaining time. I have to do something. I have to get Eric back," I said with my eyes closed."Believe," he curtly uttered.Furrowing my eyebrows, I scratched my eyes and let out a heavy breath. "Believe, what? Believe that I won't die here? Believe a lie? What?""Believe in yourself."I can't help but snort. For so long, I had never been such a fan of myself, let alone have enough self-esteem to boast and encourage myself."The thing you lack the most is the darkness' weakness. However, it holds you. Its grip wil
