bella turned to the other side of the bed in search of a pillow her hands rubbing the bed , who the hell took her pillow so faraway from her? she was about to open her eyes when she felt a soft form beside her , she mentally smiled and pressed closer to the presumed pillow , she loved her soft fluffy pillow so much that she won't be able to sleep without it by her side .
ahhh, her head was banging hard and she felt nauseous and why does her pillow smells soo good?a mixture of wood and dry ground after raining , she inched closer to the pillow and drank in its scent ,it felt really comfortable and soft wanting more she wrapped her legs upon it , she felt something poking her ,what was that ? she dragged her hands downward and touched the thing poking her ,bella screamed and spranged up immediately ,she gasped as she saw a man lying beside her with a grin, he was shirtless with a lot of purplish hickeys all over his upper body , his hair ruffled with his lips swollen and his face with fading hickey , but his beauty was not altered in the least with the murderous marks, she shook her head to wipe out the dirty thought forming in her mind and frowned at the smiling idiot beside her,what is so funny that is making him smile ?and why is he naked with hickeys all over him?
she flung the quilt off him and screamed " why are you naked?"she asked with a loud voice after covering him with the quilt
" seriously? two naked adults slept in a room , what else do you think happened between us ?" bella eyed him and checked her body under the quilt " no way " she screamed and held her head
"y..you took advantage of me !!" she yelled and dragged the quilt from his body and jumped out of the bed , jake covered his lower body with the pillows " erm... i think it should be the other way round , you took advantage of me"he answered mildly after covering his torn dignity , bella glared at him "i took advantage of you" she repeated "i did no such thing"
"look "Jake sat up "i know its hard to believe but you raped me " he concluded ignoring the angry daggers making their way toward him
"wait, what? i.. i .. this is crazy ,no , you are crazy " bella flung her hand in the air and barged into the bathroom, Jake smiled ,he looked at his lower body and sighed ,she forced herself on him yesterday and now she blatantly denied doing such , he prefer her being sassy than the madness she displayed last night and he'd thought of multiple ways to make her pay for raping him and shredding his dignity , it would be fun
" will you please wipe that disgusting smile off your ugly face" Jake noticed she was dressed and he resumed his acting putting on an innocent look
" i don't quite remember what went on between the both of us last night" jake brow furrowed , that means she remembered what she did
"but i am a thousand and one sure i didn't force myself on you , for Christ sake how could i overpower a man ? "bella mused , she took a deep breath and said " but if i indeed did something crazy last night , i apologize . sincerely" jake stared at her , did she just push all the blame on him? and what did she say ? if she did something crazy ? well , should he tell her how she made him drunk,not that she forced him to drink but she fucking guilt tripped him to drink not only did she drag him to the room but she also sex torture him. like , she shattered his manly ego into pieces and now she is apologizing well too bad coz he have plans to keep her from running away again
" i will make it up to you ,just don't spill a word of what happened between us to anybody" she opened her purse and drop her card on the bed and "that's my number , think of any price you want and contact me "
jake watched her walk out of the room , he picked up the card and his eyes crinkled in laughter, ohhh she will make up for it in a thousand folds

aleksis walked to the city's park and sat down on a chair, she would occasionally smile as she watched the children play without any bother in the world ,how she wished she could go back to being a child,though her life wasn't all that pleasant after the death of her father but her mother tried everything within her reach to make life comfortable for her . that night when her mother left the world she gathered all her parent's valuables and hid it far away before leaving the city , she left the city because she knew her father relative would make life miserable for her and their shenanigans she couldn't handle so she left without bidding her mum farewell for the last time
she wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes ,everything is getting more complicated and there is nothing she can do about it ,she felt useless she couldn't save her mother nor Skylar
she brought out the necklace Tricia gave to her after thinking about it for a while she put it on her neck and sighed ,she didn't have any choice and prevention they say is better than cure .if the necklace would make her stop seeing strange things then she wouldn't hesitate to wear it proudly around her neck
" ma'am the park is closed for today ,please go home" the bald headed security man informed her .
aleksis blinked and look around the empty park , for how long has she been sitting down ? no clue .
"OK sir " she bowed slightly and walked out of the park , the weather felt unpleasantly cold
aleksis sucked in her breath ,the people walking around the road were either in thick clothing or long sleeve dress ,ohh well , it seems she is the only person who was not aware of the night being cold today , even the weather is fighting against her she hissed and made her way through the crowded street ,thankfully her house is a walk from the park , the road was supplied light from the lamppost and some side shops still opened with music filtering out to attract customers ,all this was oblivious to aleksis who was lost in thought , she was mid way into her estate when she sensed a cold presence she stopped and looked ahead
a young girl of about fifteen was standing a few feet ahead and was looking at her , aleksis thinned her lips, how could a young girl carry such cold and lifeless presence she stared at the girl from her head to her toes,she was putting on a short flared skirt and a tee shirt with long socks paired with a black canvas , was she imagining things ?cold ! she rubbed her arms and took a step forward , the girl was still standing ahead aleksis ignored her and proceeded to walk away when she heard a tiny voice " can you see me?' the voice asked she stopped and looked at the girl
with her brows raised she asked in return "why? " now , this is creepy ,immediately she took a step closer the girl inched backwards as though scared of a wild beast aleksis brows furrowed ,confused as to why the girl was scared she took another step forward the girl shrieked and took a step back ,why is the girl scared of her ? was there something on her face ?she walked towards the girl in fast stride but the girl turned and ran into a nearly dark alley. aleksis stood in her spot with a confused face , why did the teenager fled from her? she tilted and shook her head
" well , that was weird" she concluded and walked away not without throwing a glance at the dark alley
