Chapter 2 Two

"I will see you tomorrow." Matilda says.

"Great. I'll be waiting." Alberto says, in a seductive voice and feeling confident.

"Here is my card. It also has my address in it." Alberto says, giving Matilda his card which she accepts.

She tears the card in two right before his eyes which leaves Alberto speechless.

"You will come to my place and pick me up for a date." She says, telling him where to pick her up.

"Your wish is my command." Alberto says to Matilda.

"This lady is just trying to play hard to get." He thinks to himself.

"Okay then. See you tomorrow." Matilda says.

"Of course." Alberto says and winks at Matilda.

He walks away and Matilda sips the glass of wine, satisfied with her achievement.

Alberto goes back to his friends and sits with them.

"How did it go my friend?" Lucas asks.

"She wants it to be a date." Alberto replies him.

"Shit dude. I don't think you are going to win this bet." Harris says.

"What makes you think that?" Alberto asks.

"I'm the biggest player here and I'm sure to win." Alberto says, proudly.

"We'll see about that." Francis says.

Francis is the one who had made the bet with Alberto.

"Yeah. You will watch as I win." Alberto retorts.

"This is the first time that a lady changes your plan into a date Alberto." Harris says.

"So what? I have broken many hearts in high school and in college before. And I still got my charms with me. I don't give a shit if she thinks she can win my heart or anything." Alberto states.

"Now that's the guy I know." Lucas says.

... Meanwhile, outside the club...

Matilda is leaving and on her way toughed location which she had told Alberto to come to the next day but is stopped by two masked men with guns.

"Give us everything you have!" They yell at her but she shows no fear of any sort.

She ignores them and starts walking away.

The two masked men are surprised by her action but didn't shoot because they don't want to let out any noise for people close by to notice.

One of them grabs her by the arm and the other points a gun directly at her face.

"She seems empty of anything man." The one holding her says.

"That doesn't matter anymore. She wants to be tough right? Let's have some fun with her." The one with the gun says.

Matilda turns to the one holding her arm and stares at him with deadly red eyes.

Unfortunately for him, his eyes meets with hers and it turns to dust while she breathes in his soul.

His now skinny body reveals the structure of his skeleton and falls dry to the ground.

The second man is shocked as he observed it happen and could only make his legs run when Matilda turns her attention to him.

When he got some distance away, Matilda stretches forth her hand and gesticulates squeezing something in her palm.

As she does that, the man's body begins to make cracking sounds and he shouts while his entire bones are crushed.

Matilda walks away silently.

She reaches the location and begins her work. She snaps her fingers and her staff appears in her had once more along with her spell book.

She opens to the spell she needs and leaves the book to float in front of her as she raises her staff with her right hand and still lifts her left hand.

Matilda then begins her spell:

"malae vires altae et humiles fac mihi domum, fac mihi domum! ut credas totum tempus hic fuisse!"

A house immediately erected from the ground, causing the earth to quake. Everybody who feels the effect in their houses becomes to scared to even check what the cause is.

As the house emerges the ground different parts of it also forms and dust spreads out everywhere.

When Matilda is done she views the house herself.

It is a house that seems to belong to an average family.

Just as she wants because she didn't want to portray herself to be as rich as the billionaire who will come to pick her up tomorrow.

All the dusts vanishes and everything else returns as it was.

Matilda goes into her creation and sleeps on the bed in a room. Matilda doesn't usually sleep but since she is no longer in her own world she thought why not start?

If what she could do is just to sleep with the billionaire and that's it then she would have followed him home but this road to power is a lot deeper.

Matilda has to make the billionaire fall in love with her as well.

But for someone heartless and cruel how will she accomplish such a mission? How will she be sure that he is in love and not playing her?

... The next morning, in the billionaire's palace...

Alberto is a man who likes to live big and spend lavishly. Funny enough, he never seems to run out of money.

"Dimitri!" Alberto yells.

"Yes sir?" Dimitri answered, running into the dinning Hall.

Yes, Alberto's castle is an actual castle.

Everywhere and everything cost more than a whole neighborhood's buildings.

"I've been calling you for hours idiot!" Alberto complains.

Dimitri is the new driver to Alberto. The old one was fired for not wiping Alberto's car side mirror properly after washing it.

"Do you want me to fire you?!" Alberto yells at him.

"No sir. I am very sorry sir." Dimitri apologizes.

"Is my car ready?" Alberto asks Dimitri.

"Sir?" Dimitri questions.

"Did you was the car I had told you to wash last night?!" Alberto yells at Dimitri again, clearly getting offended by each passing minute.

"I'm sorry sir, yes sir, I washed it." Dimitri says.

"Please just get out of my sight." Alberto says.

Dimitri leaves.

"He is going to get fired even sooner than I can imagine." Alberto says to nobody in particular.

A maid arrives at the dinning table with a tray containing Alberto's salad which he eats every morning.

"Good morning sir." The maid greats as she keeps it in front of him along with a glass of juice.

Alberto finishes off his food and wait is for five minutes tapping away on his phone before getting up from his seat.

He leaves his castle and enters the car which Dimitri is already seated in and had been waiting for Alberto's arrival.

Alberto makes himself comfortable in the car before giving his driver, Dimitri, the address.

Dimitri starts the car and they are off.

... At Matilda's house...

"Curses! These darn pigeons just won't shut up!" Matilda says as she gets up from bed and walks towards the windows.

"Shu! Shu!" She yells but the pigeons just gets more noisy.

She claps her hands in annoyance and all the pigeons disappear.

"I didn't think sleeping would feel so good." She says as she walks down the staircase.

Matilda sits at the table and snaps her fingers which then causes a full roasted pork lap to appear on the table and she starts to eat.

She goes to the bathroom but then casts a spell instead of bathing the way humans do.

"male cogit humilem et humilem, flumen mihi tu creas" She says.

A river appears right there in the bathroom and she takes off her dress and take a a dip in it.

It feels very cool and relaxing for her.

That is the way they take their bath in the realm of witches.

While she takes her bath in the river she hears a knock on her door.

"Who is it?!" She yells from the bathroom.

"Why don't you come out and find out sweetheart." A voice replies from the door.

"Must be that man from the bar." Matilda thinks to herself.

"I will be right down. Just hold on a minute." Matilda says and comes out of the river.

"male cogit humilem et humilem hoc flumen e conspectu" She says, making the river vanish and the bathroom turn back to normal.

Matilda puts a towel around her body and goes to the door.

"I am not ready yet. But you can come in and wait if you want." Matilda says.

She had purposely answered the door in a towel, knowing fully well that her body will definitely get his attention and it did.

Alberto has his eyes fixed on her and scans every curve of her body.

"Don't mind if I do." He replies and smiles at Matilda.

He goes in and sits on the closest sofa to him.

Matilda rushes up the stairs to dress up.

"That man seems to be the very desperate kind. He is supposed to come by noon today and not so early in the morning." Matilda says as she stands in her room without a towel on.

"Vestitum tam rubicundum quam incomparabiliter cogit malum demissum et demissum"She says and claps her hands once.

A beautiful red dress appears on her body instantly in a puff of smoke.

She had, also, a pair of red shoes and a beret on her head. She had make-up on this time with red lipstick which suited her fair skin.

For someone who had just been to earth for the first time, Matilda seems to have adapted to the fashion trends already.

Matilda takes a look at herself on the standing mirror and is impressed at her work.

She walks down the stairs and Alberto's mouth literally falls open as he takes it all in.

She is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen and he didn't hesitate to let her know.

"Okay. Now I am ready." Matilda says.

"Hello?" Matilda says, waving her hand left and right in front of his face.

Alberto snaps out of it and closes his mouth.

"Uh wow. You are literally the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. You... You left me speechless." Alberto says.

Matilda pretends to blush.

"Thank you. You are actually the first person that has ever said that to me." Matilda says, shyly.

"Really? Then the other people who have seen you already must be blind then." Alberto says, in tone that almost reveals his rude nature to her.

"I mean, it's not possible unless they were too overwhelmed by your beauty to speak." He says.

"Okay." Matilda says and smiles.

"I guess it's time to go now." Alberto says to Matilda.

He curves his right hand and expects that she crosses her hand over his but she ignores him and walks out of her house on her own.

"This lady is just playing hard to get." Alberto thinks to himself.

He exits her house and Matilda silently locks the house with a spell. Her instincts had told her to do so.

Dimitri, the driver, comes out of the car and opens the door to the back seat for Matilda.

Matilda goes in and sits down then Dimitri opens the other side for his boss and he sits inside.

Dimitri is lucky to have followed the instructions given to him by Alberto if not he would have lost his job as Alberto had threatened to fire him at the spot if he messes up.

Dimitri starts the car and they are off again.

Alberto can't help but continue to stare at Matilda. He really meant it when he had said she is the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

He thinks back to the club and remembers the bet he had with one of his friends and he is determined to finish it.

For Alberto, he believes it will be an honor to have such a lady in his hands to do as he wishes.

Alberto is sure that be will win the bet and show Francis who he had made the bet with that he is the boss.

"So angel. Where to?" Alberto asks, even as he had already told Dimitri where to drive to.

"Anywhere you want." She replies.

"Good one. I love the way you think already." Alberto says.
