She stood on the highest floor of the building and reporters and cops surrounded her begging her not to jump down.
They begged her not to jump down, but she never listened to any of them.
"Miss Bella Flynn. The case will be closed in as much as you get down from there." One of the police said with megaphone in his hand.
She is not a fool this time around. She was wise enough to know that it's all lies. How could she kill so many people and they still let her live? She prefer to die on her own than to get punished from those hypocrites
"I will not stop until Micheal come here and tell me to stop." She said and some passersby cannot help but laughed.
Who is she Kidding? After had she killed the man's lover, friends and mother, the man still let her be, and only issued a divorce. If it happened to any of them, they will all serve her head on a platter of gold, brutally.
"Miss Bella Flynn. You know that won't happen ever." A reporter said.
'She is only chasing clout. She only want Mr Sean not to divorce her.' some of them thoughts.
She finally sighted a Roll Royce Sweptail parked a little far to where the reporters were, and her eyes lit up.
"I said it. He is going to come here for me. He is finally here." She said and they looked at the direction her eyes was fixed at. It was indeed Mr Sean's Car. A young man in black neat tuxedo with 185cm of height walked towards them with his face unreadable.
When she saw who was walking towards them, she was disappointed at first, but still have a little hope.
"Mr Parker. Where is President Sean?" The reporters asked as they surrounded the man who fixed his tuxedo very well.
"President only send me a single thing. He said that Miss Bella is free to do anything she wants, he doesn't care." He coldly said without taking a glance at the woman on the thirteenth floor.
She felt as if they pour multiple ice cubes on her heart. She staggered back as she heard the statement and watched Andrew Parker walked back to the car. He entered it and drove away. She could bet she saw Michael's silhouette in the car.
"Miss Bella Flynn. You see that he doesn't care about you. Don't kill yourself because of someone who doesn't give a damn about you." One of the police said, thinking she would back off.
She thought of everything she has done with her life. She has always been to over possessive and too obsessed with Michael Sean, and never for once in her life, achieve a single thing. They used to be so close from their childhood to her teenage life, until their parents made them married each other, when she returned from USA. She thought of everything and couldn't help but cried.
They must have underestimated her. She took a step to the edge and they screamed for her to stop. They were even negotiating with her and she stopped her steps for a moment and they thought she won't tried again, but she jumped down from that floor and what she heard next was the scream of the people and the sound of her body smashing to the floor. She could swear she heard her bone cracked. She felt pains she has never felt before. The pain was too excruciating, debilitating and overwhelming. Her skulls must have been opened as she felt her blood streamed to her lips. She shut her eyes shut, but still could feel the pain. She slipped into unconsciousness and never heard anything again. She was dead.
She woke up to see, surprised to see herself in her bedroom in the Emperor's Villa. She was surprised.
What happened?
Did he finally forgive her and let her stay with her?
She quickly put on a clothe and quickly walked out. At that moment, Michael Sean was coming with anger written on his face, and he held something but she ran towards him and jumped on him and the latter froze.
"Thanks for coming for me. You finally saved me after everything I've done. I am so sorry."She said with tears rushing from her eyes.
The maids around were shocked that this stubborn woman could still do this after everything she did yesterday.
"Have you really forgiven me? I know that you are always like this, very soft for me." She cried more but she was pushed hard and she fell to the floor.
The maids couldn't help but snickered.
Who is she to get on the bad side of Mr Sean?
She never thought something was amiss and continued crying.
"You dare to pretend to cry when what you did yesterday, was a total rubbish. You dare lied that you wanted to kill yourself and entered my company's pool. If you really want to die, go far away. Where it won't affect me and my company." He said coldly and she was very confused.
What is happening?
Did she not fall down from the thirteenth floor?
When did she transported to his office and pool?
Wait- this is familiar. It looked exactly like four years ago, when she entered the pool in his office, trying to threaten her.
"... understood?" She heard him asks and she watched him walked angrily.
"What just happened?" She asked no one in particular as she heard the car driving away from the house and the maids could only laughed at her, secretly. "What is today's date?" She asked a maid nearby her.
The maid looked at her in fear and swallowed hard before she replied with stutter:
Bella didn't wait for the girl to reply before she ran back to her room. The maids all watched her in amusement.
The first place she went to when she entered her room was where she hung her calendar. She checked the date and was surprised to see the year on it, 13th of March, 2019.
She was so shocked. She began to slap her head, laughing maniacally. Even maids have to rushed in and checked what happen.
"Hope you are alright madam?" One of the maids asked.
"All of you, out." She screamed and they all obeyed her at once, scurrying out of her room.
What happened? She could never explained what had happened to her.
How is it possible that a dead person was sent back to life? The heaven must have loved her so much for her to deserve this.
She only read novels about reincarnation but never thought she will one day face what reincarnation is, or was that all a dream?
Maybe it was a dream, she would be the happiest of it turned out to be one. But why is she feeling the same pains she felt in her former life? It's too real to be a dream.
What just happened was like a miracle to her. Whenever she read this online, she'd always be like, 'The fuck is all these!'
It happened to her now and she felt both happy and sad.
Unknowingly to her that, the maids called Michael earlier that she screamed, but the other person couldn't even care less.
She's sad that she came back to this time of the year and not earlier, and she's so happy that she was given a chance - a chance to redeem her mistakes.
She married early when she was only twenty one, December of 2017. Her parent and his parent thought it's normal for their kids to get married for their business to bloom, and also because they were very very close, before she went abroad.
She remembered when she came back and her parent told her, they didn't even give her option, they mandatory it for her to marry him, so even when she had a boyfriend, she agreed to marry him, since she have always liked him secretly.
She remembered that Michael came to her when he heard that she arrived. She had thought he came because he missed her, but was surprised when he only came to persuade her not to agree to the marriage, giving his silly excuse that he has a girlfriend.
"Michael. I'm sorry that there is nothing i can do about this. My parent really gave me no option. It's either i marry you, or I marry someone I don't know at all." She had said to him and she was surprised when he snapped at her.
"Isn't this the same thing? We too don't know each other that much. You can marry others, but please don't let us get married." He had said to her that day.
She was so heartbroken but didn't let it show on her face.
"Michael, if I'm to marry someone, it's going to be you." She had said and he was so furious by her words as he clenched his fist and dragged his hair, but he walked out that day angrily, with his car driving out of her place, speedily.
It was that day she saw him last till the day of their wedding, which is a month after.
And her first day in his mansion was like hell. He didn't even stay at home on their wedding day, fleeing to somewhere she never know. Whenever he felt like coming to the house, he came, but won't sleep.
The last time he came, she confronted him.
"Why are you like this to me? We are even a married couple, but you have not been staying home for a month. I have always been the one here. We have not even consummate our marriage." She said to him as he was on a video conference with employees and they were shocked to hear that.
'Is their boss married?' that was what was on everyone's mind.
He too was shocked by her statement and quickly closed his laptop, turning to her angrily.
"Have you finally gone mad? You didn't see that I was in meeting?" He snapped and she got scared for a moment before she turned to him with a frown and innocent look.
"I know that you are in a meeting, and I intentionally did it. That's when I know you will have my attention." She said with a smile and he shook his head at her.
He always knew her to be, even before she went to Asia, but he never knew she lacked sense like this. He remembered he always wondered who she will finally married, but unfortunately, it's him.
He had only stood up and left the house.
When she reminisced on everything, she couldn't think of herself of anything, but a fool.
She's always been pampered by her parent and why she's always been so arrogant. She always get whatever she wants, that's why she didn't want to admit defeat that he would never be her's.
This was a year after her marriage with him and there was nothing like a solid relationship between them. They haven't even have an intercourse, let alone of giving birth...so in her past life. They were married for five year and they haven't done anything together, even hold hands.
She remembered she had lost her virginity to a drug lord, who told her he would help her kill Mandy, her husband's lover...well it was her friend who advised her to do that.
She can't believe she went extra miles for something that can never be hers. She looked so stupid and idiot.
This time around she will like to do something meaningful for once, and that is letting Michael go. She is going to file a divorce petition against him. That's her number one priority. She have to leave this place to find herself back.
She soaked herself in warm water. After she's done bathing, she wore a simple dress with just light makeup. She packed her blonde hair into ponytail, and she could swear that she is so pretty, even without make up on. She wore something like a slippers and stepped to the living room.
"Hello to you all." She shouted and all the maids rushed down. They all were surprised to see their madam in this clothe. Their boss was an expensive fashionista and always on exquisite and expensive dress, it was weird to see her dressed this simple.
"I want to thank you all for how many years you have been staying with us. But I'll really like you to stop working." She said and they all were shocked.
"We've done nothing wrong. You don't have to fire us this way." One of the maids said and they all nodded.
"I can do whatever I want to do, I am the boss." She said to them and one raised the corner of her mouth.
"Then let Mr Sean know that you want to fire us." The one who smirk said.
"Hello, young ladies. I got you into this house, not anybody. And I can drive you out without anybody." She said and started giving them a cheque of an hundred thousand dollars...
She knew what the influence of maids caused to her in her previous life. They always hailed her in her presence, but all gossiped behind her back.
When she finally see that no one is around anymore, She called Michael's number, which rang for seconds but didn't pick it. She really wanted to speak to him about the divorce. She is Very sure he would like it, that's what he's always wanted. When she called him for few times and he didn't pick, she sent an SMS, waiting maybe he would quickly reply. In the SMS, it only says, 'Lets divorce.'
She waited for an hour and when she didn't see his reply, she decided to go meet him in his office and she walked out of the house and walked by feet. She only wanted to stretch her body, or else she would have taken her car out.
She walked by feet out of the silent estate and finally got to a road, where cars passed her by. She began to work until she was finally tired and decided to take a taxi.
In her past life, her laziness made her developed a rare illness, caused by not doing exercises.
She boarded a taxi and the man glanced at her from the mirror weirdly, when she said she was going to Sean Corps.
The taxi man dropped her at the front of the office and she walked out and paid the man, thanking the man.
She was surprised by that too for her humility. But she really have to be humble to live this life.
In her past life, from a top socialite's daughter to someone her parent disowned and husband wanted to divorce. If not because of her arrogance, she should still be able to live in her past life. But she was rude to so many people, and no one helped her when she was down, not like they sent her. She was the cause of all her predicaments.
She walked inside the big company and she was a little amaze at how big the company was. It was not her first time in it, but she was always more concerned about Michael, than she cared about any other things.
No one noticed if anyone entered as she was just too simple, very simple to be noticed. If it was before, everyone would have known it's her, by her grand and iconic entrance. She entered the elevator full of people, and squeeze herself inside it, and some conversations - maybe gossips cannot escaped her ears.
"What Young mistress did yesterday was uncalled for. Why did she have to jumped into a pool, just to see the President? If Assistant Parker had not entered, she would have drowned." A lady in glasses said to her friends.
"If she drown, it's her cup of tea. That's why Mandy will always be better than her. Mandy was President's favorite until madam comes." One of the ladies said.
"Mandy is a good secretary, and an hardworking person. Madam is just too useless. She only knows how to sleep and wake up." Another said and they all laughed.
"I know the reason why boss keep going for Mandy. If it's me too, I will really go for an hardworking and humble person like Mandy, and not a useless clout chaser, and arrogant like madam. Talking about beauty, Mandy is always beautiful with her natural look and madam always look like Zombie. I bet she is ugly without makeup that's why she always apply excess makeup." A young man around them said.
They all laughed and was surprised as they saw a young lady looking at them with a glare. She looked like a young girl sulking, with her big eye balls.
"Hello young girl. Hope you are not lost?" One of the ladies said.
'Young girl?' she thought. Even though she was still only twenty two, these people can't be more older than her with two years. Well she has a small stature that make her look like a teen, but she was still their boss wife.
In her past life, they only mistook her for a young girl, and that reason made her to put on much makeup, and a magnanimous dress, to look older.
She got to the nineteenth floor and got down.
They all were surprised to see her stepping out as them too. They also work in the nineteenth floor and wondered who she is.
"Is she a new worker?" the young man asked as he watched her walked in front of them.
"I doubt that. Her clothes is too simple for a worker." One of the ladies said.
"She has a huge temper. But she is so beautiful." The young man swooned over her.
She walked to the president's office and saw the secretary who smiled at her and asked,
"Hello young miss. Are you here for the president?" She asked. She couldn't help but shivered as she saw this face again. She remembered she killed this delicate lady due to jealousy. She was raped by the drug lord and his goons till she died, and she couldn't help but feel guilty as she stared into her eyes.
"I-I-Yes I am." She said and cleared her throat. How could she still be so scared, she is in front of her alive.
"Do you have an appointment with him?" She asked with a smile and she shook her head slowly.
"No. Just tell him, Mrs Sean sent me to him." She said and could swear she noticed the sneer on her face.
"President Sean said he doesn't want to see anything related to Mrs Sean." She told her politely.
"Tell him it's very important." Bella insisted.
Mandy looked at her with a brief smile and took the telephone and punched some numbers on it.
"Hello sir." She said "A lady said she want to see you. Madam sent her to you." She said and after few seconds, she dropped the call. "He said he doesn't want to see you." She said to Bella who smiled bitterly and walked out of the place. She walked out of the office, and also out of the company. She went to the next cafeteria besides the company and sat down.
In the President's office.
He sat on his swiveled chair while his Assistant entered and showed him his phone.
"President. Madam have be calling since morning. Should I pick?" He said.
"Whatever." He only said,, flipping some files, but Assistant Parker knew better than to pick the call. That really meant his boss is not ready to speak with her.
"She sent a message to me now that you should check your phone." Assistant Parker said to Michael calmly.
Michael only picked his phone and saw the message and his eyes bulged.
'Let's divorce.' it was so simple as that.
If he knew her not better, he would have believed the message, but the Bella he knew will never get divorced. She is too obsessed with him.
Assistant Parker also peeked at the SMS and laughed.
"The madam I know will never divorce and would rather die than to get divorced." He said and Michael smirked.
Bella is still trying to look for his attention when she saw that all she did, was not able to move him or draw him closer.
He dialled her number and she picked immediately.
"Hello." She said but he didn't wait for her to reply and asked:
"You really want a divorce?" He asked.
"Hmm" she nodded and he laughed.
"Where are you now?" He asked and she noticed she was silent for a moment before she replied;
"Trinity cafeteria, beside your company." She said and he nodded.
"Good, wait for me there and let's go to the court." He said standing up, grabbed his briefcase and walked out while his assistant watched him in surprise.
...
She didn't know if to feel happy or sad. She never thought he would agree to the divorce easily and it broke her heart a little to see that he didn't have an ounce of likeness for her.
She set her heart to this divorce and she is going to live her happy life without him, on her own - even without her parents interfering in her life.
She waited for him to come and when she saw his car parked in front of the cafeteria, she paid for the coffee she took and walked out to meet him.
It's definitely going to be a long day.
