My Boss Is A Soul Eating Spirit.
prologue
The wind whistles blowing the hair off Bella's face, the blinding city lights twinkle as Bella tries to hold back the tears welling up in her Ocean blue eyes.
A sweep of wind pushes Bella forward,, and her breath hitches, she's standing at the edge of a tall building on the 31st floor. 2 more steps, and she'll be free, free from her body, unlike her body her soul has already given up and she thinks it'd be better if she sets it free.
Not brave enough to cut her nerves or hang herself she decides to jump off a tall building...
Contemplating her decision she stares up at the sky, the light pollution makes it difficult to view stars in the sky, but there are 2 stars that are brighter and stronger than the thousands of city lights, twinkling with pride.
One more step...
Her mobile rings, Bella ignores it at first but decides against it as it'll be the last time she could hear her friend Melli.
Mellissa
What took you so long?
Isabella
I was in the washroom.
Mellissa
Did they get back to you?
Malcolm said he got an acceptance mail… What about you?
Isabella
Melli, aren't you tired of putting your hopes and trust in me?
I keep failing every time and you still…
Bella's voice breaks as tear spills from her eyes, staining her cheeks, the cool wind making her shiver as it passes by her, the tear rolls down her cheeks and down toward the highway…
Bella flinches when she looks down taking several steps back in fear.
"Coward"
She cursed herself in her mind for stepping back when it was the opposite she wanted to do.
Mellissa
Bella, I believe in you and God.
Trust me everything will be alright, you will get a mail from them.
No matter what happens I'll be here…
Failing is not a bad thing Isa, don't feel disheartened.
I'm rooting for you.
The stream of tears thickens as Bella feels her heart sinking deeper.
This is going to hurt Melli, she's going to take away the trust and faith Melli has in her and god.
Melli will hate her for doing this, but it is still not enough to keep her from jumping off this building.
She's tired, tired of being the failure, the burden, the pitiful person.
Isabella
Tell Malcolm that I'm happy for him, and congratulate him for me..
I need to go now...
Mellisa, I...
I need to go..
Bella hangs up the call, turning her phone off she crouches, placing the mobile a few inches away from her feet.
Rising to her full height, her body shudders as she exhales, trembling a bit because of the force and the cold breeze.
This is it.
My freedom is just a step away.
Bella's ear rings, an unpleasant high-pitched noise ringing in her sound making it unbearable, she clenches her eyes closed and covers her ears with her palms.
Her head starts hurting, feels as if something heavy has been placed in her head, piercing every inch of her skull.
"What's happening?"
Bella wonders, trying to squeeze open her eyes.
When she manages to open her eyes she finds her surroundings covered in fog, making it difficult for her to see anything but a blanket of white smoke.
Bella wipes her eyes to look clearly.
"Am I dreaming?"
She questions herself because of the view.
A moment ago the sky was clear, the sound of traffic was lively, the city light sparkled beneath her, and now everything is blank.
How is it possible.
Her ear rings again and she squeezes her ears trying to muffle the sound.
"You will regret this"
A low, gruff voice warns her.
Bella turns her head to look around her, but she doesn't find anyone...
Maybe it's just a delusion.
She thinks to herself and shrugs.
"you will regret this."
It repeats.
Without wasting another second, Bella inhales, filling her lungs with air before lunging forward.
Her heart palpitation rises. her eyes get blurry as the tears shed continuously, the lump in her throat grows as the gravitational force pulls her straight to the ground.
A few seconds more...
