Ryan groaned as he felt an irresistible urge to take a walk. He was tired because he just returned from the world beyond to carry out a very important assignment and he had to go to shop for groceries from there. He hardly got tired , but living partially as human didn't spare his body.
He didn't really like living in the human world , this was his second time here.
His mind drastically went back to when he had to come down and to earth to save his mother , the immortal gods that ruled the human world had trapped her because they wanted to get back at his father for beheading their greatest soldier.
He was able to save his mother after spending years on earth but she eventually died due to a lot of immortality destructive poison that they had been feeding her with. That had been his greatest heartbreak and he had vowed to revenge his mother's death.
That was one of the reasons he didn't hesitate when he was being sent down the human world to watch over the 'chosen one'.
He was willing and ready to wipe out all the clan of the immortal gods that occupied the human world. After all they are nothing but useless bunch of forsaken gods that were banished from the world beyond because of their rebellion against the grandmaster.
The urge to take a walk came again , this time stronger pulling him on his feet. He sighed as he wore his sandals and headed out of the house , he followed submissively as the force pulled him along the lonely street that leads to the city's biggest shopping mall.
For some reason , the street was quiet and no one was walking or driving or standing outside. He stopped and looked around in time to see Dilly coming out of a fruit shop. She had a bottle of soft drink in one hand and a bag of fruits on her other hand, she was heading home alone. Just as she started to walk down the lonely street, a car stopped right in front of her making her jump in fear.
He wanted to run toward their direction but his feet would not move, he struggled to free himself but the force holding him down was too strong. He was standing beside an old building , nobody would see him. He groaned in frustration.
"Be still" a small voice in his head commanded.
He relaxed his muscles immediately watching keenly.
Dilly gasped as her soft drink poured on her white dress.
"Oh shit" she was clearly pissed . She flung the empty bottle in the waste bin close to her.
Why would someone drive so recklessly. She was beginning to lash out at the careless driver when Sophia Ruben got out of the car.
"What!" Dilly thought "was she trying to kill me?"
They glared at each other and Sophia smirked , her left palm landing heavily on Dilly's left cheek.
She looked at the Sophia in shock , the woman looked crazy. Her eyes burned with so much anger and rage that Dilly wondered if she was going to strike her dead at that instance.
She was too stunned to talk , she just held her cheek trying so hard not to cry.
Sophia slapped her again and again making Dilly lose her balance . She staggered backwards , her eyes seeing starts . Thankfully she was wearing her contact lenses because the slaps would have sent her glasses flying in the air.
"You bitch! Didn't I warn you to leave him alone?" Sophia yelled.
"I did , I've stopped seeing him" Dilly whispered. She tried so hard to stop the sob that was building up in her throat . She would not let this woman see her cry , she would not give her that satisfaction.
"Really?" Sophia laughed "then explain this"
She put her phone in Dilly 's face eyeing her with so much bitterness.
Dilly gasped shaking her head in disbelief, "he only asked to see me, I left him immediately, I asked him not to call me again."
"Hank promised me he was not going to call or text you again , so how would he have asked to you… you liar" Sophia said , hitting her again.
Dilly's anger was beginning to take the best of her , this woman really thought she could just go about hitting people the way she pleases.
She tried to calm her temper "I'm not lying Sophia , he begged to see me for the last time."
Sophia ignored her "well this is just a warning, if I see you anywhere near my husband again , I'll burn your beautiful skin and no man would find you pleasing to the eyes anymore."
She turned and started walking back towards her car satisfied that she was finally able to teach Dilly a lesson.
Dilly scoffed , suddenly feeling rebellious . The anger that had built up earlier found it's way back .
"You should not be worried about me at all Sophia, there are four more girls you need to beat up since that's what you're really good at" she fired.
Sophia stopped in her track . Heat rose up to her face as she rushed back to Dilly and grabbed her by the throat.
"What did you just say?" Sophia's eyes were wide open. Dilly could see the raw hatred in them making her flinch a little.
"You heard me right. He has four or more other mistresses. You might as well beat them up too" she laughed in spite of herself.
Sophia was about to hit Dilly again but she stopped mid air suddenly. She moved backwards in great fear.
Dilly's eyes were like a burning fire , when she opened her mouth to talk balls of fire came shooting out .
Sophie ran back to her car and drove off in full speed finding it so hard to believe what she just saw.
Dilly's heart raced , what just happened to her ? Why was she spitting fire ? She ran home not looking back. She was feeling hot and sick.
Ryan having witnessed what happened ran after her.
He caught up with her just as she was about to enter her house.
"Hey hey" he grabbed her arm.
She snatched her arm from him scared that he would hurt her too just like Sophia did.
"Calm down" he said gently "I saw what happened."
Fear gripped her more . He saw that ?
"Please get out!" She said in a firm voice . She entered the house and slammed the door shut.
