STEFAN’S POV.During break, I decided to go to the rooftop, and being on the rooftop was helping me focus on a lot of things. Also, it helped me to think of how I can help Melissa work as one, with me. Chasing her all the time was also taking a toll on my strength as the wounds I got from the demon was also weakening me as my body parts were gradually turning into a spirit.Suddenly, I heard Melissa call my name. Was it because I was thinking of her? It was so weird to hear her voice, this loud. But why was it persistent? Immediately, I looked back only to see her pointing at a direction in fear, and fortunately, I was able to catch sight of the demon, as I could see a trace of the demon.Then my claws came out, and I pierced the demon in his heart, then cut the necklace off his neck, and removed the broken piece of the key, then kept it in my pocket. I felt relieved, and to my surprise, Melissa ran towards me, and hugged me tight.“Thank you so much for keeping to your word. I reall
STEFAN’S POV.Just before the car hit me, someone passed right before me, so fast and hit the car away, causing a brutal accident for the driver. I looked around to catch a glimpse of the person who had saved me.“Just in case you think it’s a savior or a Samaritan, that’s wrong, because I was the one who saved you. I wouldn’t want someone else to kill you just before I have my game. You will die in my hands, Stefan.” He said and laughed hard.So, it was the attacker who I had been looking for that saved me, only to keep me alive, for him to have the kill, instead. MELISSA’S POVI went straight to my bedroom as I felt exhausted after the fun we had. As I laid on my bed and stared at the ceiling, I thought of how Stefan looked so happy while we were having fun. That was the same smile I saw in my memory. Could it really be true that I knew him in my past life, and that we shared moments?It was nice to see him smile, but I did all that just to repay him for the days he made me laugh,
MELISSA’S POV.“Boo!” Layla tried to scare me and laughed so hard.“Oh, my God. Layla, you almost got my heart out of my chest.” I said, touching my chest, and feeling how fast my heart was beating.“I’m sorry. But I just wanted a bit of fun, and I got a good laugh over it.“I see. I hope that you get an award for making me scared.” I rolled my eyes and sat on my bed, hiding the picture as I didn’t want her to see it.“Anyways, I do hope that you have grown older this year.” She said as she sat with me on the bed.“And what do you mean by that?” I asked as I folded her arms.“Well, you know. Using my ugly picture to taunt me.”I laughed. “You know that I am never going to stop doing that.” I said, with a smile.“Ugh. You are so unbelievable.” She said as she rolled her eyes.“I know right.”“Anyways, I am staying over. I want you to be the first to wish me a happy birthday.”I chuckled and sat properly on the bed. “And who else is there to wish you a happy birthday, first?” I scoffed
MELISSA’S POV.I fell to the floor, and some of my things fell down as well, including my bed side drawer, and then I saw the wrist band, lying on the floor.~Flashback~“This will come in handy, take it.”I hoped that this was what she was talking about, and I tried to reach it on the floor, but I was too weak to reach out to it. The pain of my bones, cracking, was weakening me by the moment, and it seemed as if my human sense of reasoning was blurring away. “Oh, come on.” I muttered under my breath as I tried to reach it.My heart was beating fast in fear that Layla would see me like this and that I would hurt her. “Hey, Melissa.” She said, excitedly. “What are you doing on the floor?” She asked, in a low tone, looking baffled.“Uhm… I tripped, but I am fine.” I said as I stood up and began to pack my belongings.“I see. I never noticed the wrist band on your wrist. When did you get it?” She asked, looking at it out of curiosity.“Well, it was a gift. An old woman gave it to me,
MELISSA’S POV.I was so frightened, and couldn’t wrap my head around the situation. All along, Lee Ho was someone bad, and I didn’t know until he followed me to the ladies’ restroom. All of a sudden, he laughed and I was beginning to think he had gone crazy.“How was my acting skills?” “What do you mean?” I asked, looking baffled.“I’m sorry if I got you scared. Actually, I have always loved acting, but I was told that I wasn’t cut for it, so I decided to act without letting people know I am about to, so I could get from their reaction and their review if I acted well or not.” He said, with a smile.“What? You decided to get me scared, and even went to this extent of coming to the ladies’ restroom, all because you needed a review for acting skills? This isn’t acting, Lee Ho. It is craziness.” I said in anger and left the restroom.I picked up my bag and necessary documents, then left. Lee Ho ran after me, and stopped me.“Please Melissa. Listen to me. I know you are annoyed, right n
MELISSA'S POV.Fear gripped me, seeing as he wasn't moving. He had obviously fainted and I had to look for a way to revive him. It was weird seeing Stefan in an helpless state, but at least, I'm grateful he wasn't alone when this happened. ~I managed to flag down a cab, and the driver was nice enough to help me carry him into the cab."Thank you sir." I said as I sat in the car."You are welcome. It's no longer new to us. Many drink until they pass out." The driver said as he started the car.He had thought Stefan drank to stupor. I couldn't bring myself to tell him he had fainted. I actually didn't know what to do, because in one of the werewolf books I had stumbled upon when I was younger, it was actually risky to take them to the hospital, because the doctors would find out that there was something abnormal about them.Thankfully, when we got to my house, the driver helped me to take him to my bedroom. "Thank you so much." I appreciated him and tipped him off at the entrance.I
MELISSA'S POV.It was nice, listening to different collaborations on the project we were going to launch. How exciting it was to be in the midst of people who were good at what they do. Although, a few years back, I had never imagined myself, working at Stefan's Design Company, but I guess I was just lucky.Now that I think about it, the interviewer wasn't really interested in my work and didn't seem like she was going to give me a job, but then a word was sent to her and she said I should thank the higher ups instead. Could it be that Stefan saw me when I was getting interviewed and decided to give me a free pass?No, I shouldn't see it as a free pass. He truly loved my work and also probably accepted me to work for him, because he saw me as Jana. This thought drifted me to what has happened, last night.~flashback~He held me even more close after telling me to allow myself to feel this.“I love you. And I know you do, too.” He said, softly, with his eyes, shut.My eyes widened in
STEFAN'S POV.I was shocked to see his reaction. If he smirked, it means it didn't work on him, and if it didn't work on him, it meant that he is supernatural? Suddenly, his expression changed. He looked clueless. Could it be that as my body is gradually turning into a spirit, taking my strength away, my vamp powers could be weakening too? Oh, no. That won't be good, at all. Since I found Melissa, I have had to use my vamp powers more than often."Uhm.... I'm sorry boss, but I'm kind of lost." He said, looking baffled."I do not understand. What do you mean?" I acted clueless."I know this might sound absurd, but I do not remember being called here.""Since when did you start pulling pranks on me? This is unlike you, Mr. Edward. Or the respect i have accorded you has gotten to your head?" I pretended to look a bit offended."I'm sorry, boss. Uhm may I know what you called me for?" "Never mind." I said as I walked out.I went back to the conference room and met Melissa pacing around
