Pain
Belinda screamed and shivered in fear when she saw the body of the man who brought her there on the floor. She was one of the maids hired for Ellie. She has always been the quiet type, going on her own without gossiping with others, but she was the only one who knew what was going on in her mind.
The whole time, Sophie was hiding a gun under her clothes; she had been planning to finally bring one of her problems, which was Gregory, to an end.
She was still smiling at Belinda before she took her gun and shot him in the head. Hahaha. She laughed so hard until water started coming out of her eyes.
She walked to the lifeless man lying on the floor. She touched his blood, which had covered the whole floor. “Who knew he’d be this weak?” She mocked me with a smile.
She walked back to the table, took a drug wrapped in a leaf, and gave it to the girl. Take this! She said, stretching her hand to the girl who was still shivering due to shock.
Tears were falling out of Belinda’s eyes, but she managed to collect the poison from her with her shaky hands. She took the job from Gregory because she has always been jealous of Ellie. She wondered how a weak human like her could be so cared for by the greatest alpha, the one they all feared the most. How could someone like the Alpha of Bluemoon Pack like a human like her?
She never knew that her job would be so dangerous that she would have to witness a man’s murder.
“I’ll give you any amount. Just name it.” I’ll make sure your mother receives the best treatment. Sophie said she raised her head up to look at her. “Just do whatever I ask you to do.”
“Do you understand?” She asked, but Belinda could not say anything because of the fear in her. Do you want to end up like him? Sophie asked provokingly.
No.. no. The girl answered with tears.
“Put this in her food on the night of my Luna’s ceremony. And don’t even think of making a little mistake. She said to the girl. The Luna’s ceremony is in two days, and she wanted Ellie dead on that same day. She knew that Alex might not accept her, but she would do anything to take Ellie out of the way.
“I’ll prepare your travel documents before that day; you’ll leave the house as soon as you put it in her food.” She said before going back to her seat, she took a cigarette and lit it before putting it in her mouth.
“If you think of making a slight mistake, you won’t be the only one to follow him; your whole family will die for it.” She said this, pointing to the dead body on the floor.
*****
Monday morning, which was also the day for Luna’s ceremony,.
Alex got ready for work and went downstairs, only to see Ellie dressed in her work outfit. “Where are you going?” Alex asked.
“Work.” Ellie answered with a smile. She has planned not to sit at home again; she must work so as to get enough money when she leaves his house. She also has to start making plans for herself.
Alex, on the other hand, was surprised; he thought Ellie was not interested in working again, which he was really happy about because he gets to take care of her at home without stressing her out in the office.
He looked at her and sighed. He knew she was already determined, and they would only end up arguing with each other again. “Let’s go.” Alex said.
They both entered the same car and went to the office. Ellie noticed that Alex was so quiet that morning; she kept looking towards his side, but he did not even spare her a glance. What’s wrong with him? Is he angry at me? Ellie asked herself when they entered the elevator. He was so quiet, but at the same time busy on his phone, chatting with someone.
She even went to his office to read his schedule to him, but she noticed he was not playful like before. She also went to him to ask about his lunch, but he said she should order something for herself.
She wanted to ask him if she had done something to upset him, but his phone suddenly rang, which he picked up immediately before telling her she could go.
She went back to her office, but she couldn’t get her mind off him; she kept looking towards his door. After some time, Alex came out of his office and said, “I’ll be leaving early today; I have something to attend to. You should also go home; Shawn will come pick you up soon.”
Ellie could not say anything; she just watched him leave. “Maybe it was Sophie that called him; after all, she’s his girlfriend.” She said to herself, rubbed her stomach softly. She did not know why she was feeling bad. “Even if he missed his girlfriend so much, does that give him the right to ignore us like that?” She said, touching the small bump in her stomach.
She also went home; she was so happy when she was going in the morning, but she had to return with a moody face. She tried to control her feelings, but she kept getting angrier the more she thought about it.
She took her bath and slept for some time before going back downstairs to eat her dinner. Even though she didn’t feel like eating, she kept checking the time because of Alex. “Why should I wait for him?” She ate the food and went back to her room.
Belinda was so scared; she kept thinking about whether to pour the poison or not, but she remembered how Ellie didn’t deserve to be in the house. She also has no choice because Sophie has threatened to kill her mother if she doesn’t do it.
She was happy that her plan would go well because Alex wasn’t around. She watched as the human girl kept swallowing the food with poison.
Ellie was still awake, pressing her phone. Sleep was far away from her; she kept looking at the clock. “Is he not coming home tonight?” She rolled on her bed several times before she finally got engrossed in a book.
She was still reading when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She tried to calm herself down, but the pain became unbearable, that she couldn’t walk.
She managed to crawl out of bed with tears in her eyes. She gasped at the sight of the blood that had filled her laps.
No! No. You can’t do this to me. Stay with me, child. She cried in pain; she had never felt that kind of pain before. She felt like something was biting her intestines.
She crawled out of her room, screaming and crying in pain. It was only when she almost got to the end of the stairs that the maids heard her screams. They’ve all gone to their quarters.
“A.. Alex.” She whispered softly before passing out.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
