★★BELLA★★
I can't speak, I did wrong, I disobeyed... But how can he aim so perfectly?
"Why did you come in here?" He asked in a different tone.
"I didn't mean to, I came to deliver you meal, I called you but you- you didn't answer..."
He wiped his face and smiled like a psycho in his second personality "Oh..." He raised the gun up. "Don't be scared, this is fake. It's a toy".
I don't buy that. Why would he be with a toy gun?
He stretched his hand for the food. I gave It to him. As I walked out, I pulled the knife from the door and dropped it on the shelf. Slowly withdrew my hand to leave...
"What is your name?" He asked calmly
"Bella. My name is Bella." I feel like crying for no reason. I walked out of the room, Back to work. He's a strange person.
Driving back to the shop, I see Bruno. He has a sad look "Bella i-" I walked pass him. I never believe Bruno could be an animal. No offense, I guess all men are.
He was standing by the door "Bella, I want to talk to you" he said.
"Do I have choice? my ears are open."
"Ok..." He sighed Then started "Bella, about last night, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to, I almost did that because I was drunk.I get drunk almost every night, I'm devastated. Ever since I lost my children's mother, I've been like this, I'll change this bad habit, don't worry."
"What if I don't was to speak to you, you won't change?"
"I will work hard to change, under any circumstances, pls, forgive me."
"I will think about it" I say and turned to the counter, hoping hoping he will leave. But he didn't, he just stop there like a log of wood. Watching me clean.
After cleaning, I tell madam Serena I'll be out for a while.
I move around the street with no aim. walking, I still found myself in front of the shop. What do i really need. Money, a hug, a family, a home to call my own, stop stand on my own so people can stop bullying me.
I decided to search for another job, I can do the two jobs part time. I walked past a bottle store, based on alcohol. I can't believe what I saw. My supposed to be house mate is kissing a girl from the bottles store. I stand numb, watching him, I don't know why my heart feels blunt.
I watched him kiss the girl deeply and she gave him a drink, I'm sure he isn't paying for that. He has a flirtatious look.
"He now disgust me more." I hissed. I watched him coax the girl for a while before walking back to the shop. I stayed because I can't take my eyes from his act even if I wanted to.
After the whole day, I carried my things, Bruno offered to help me but I refused. He's a bad person, I can never forget that he tried to rape me. But he still follow me, he's on the other side of the road while I carry things.
I got to the gate. I can see Mr Richards He's a but far from home, wearing hoodies, he taking something from someone and I supposed the door will be locked. I took the initiative to call him.
"Mr Richards!" I called. Seems like he didn't hear me "Mr Richards!" He still didn't answer. I decided to let him be. "Bella, you still live here? And who are you calling?" Bruno asked.
"I live with him..." I answer plainly. I paused my lips in a straight line, did he not hear his name?
In a while, he walked leisurely to the house. "You're back?" He asked.
"Mr Bruno... I heard you almost raped her. Hi, am Richard" he stretched his hand to give Bruno a hand shake with an annoying smile.
Bruno walked away without saying anything. How do he know about me and Bruno, I didn't tell him anything?
He opened he door and entered.
After carrying my things inside, I carefully arranged them in the other room. I put the new sheet on the bed.
"H...a..." I sigh. "I'm done." I say with a smiley face and rubbed my hands on my dress.
"Bella!! Bella!" I hear him call and walked out to answer him.
"Sit!" He ordered.
"What is it?"
"If we have to live in the same house, there must be a boundary, read this and tell me if you're OK with everything." He handed me some paper.
Who would have time to print all these.

"Are you done reading, sign then..." He said.
"If I'm not allowed to enter your room, then you shouldn't enter mine too right? And about the chores, why should I be the only one doing them?"
"Listen, I own this house, I can move freely, plus I'm never good at house chores."
That explains why the house was dirty. I sighed before saying. "I'll make my own rule too. If a man can't come here, then no woman should ..." I say.
"Sign Bella..." He said. "Not like you have an option" this word came out low.
He threw a pen at me.
Truly, not like I have a place to go... I wrote my name on it. But he unexpectedly collect the paper, roll it and hid it in his jacket. "Well that will be all." He went to his room.

I will make them pay, for hiding the truth about mother's death, for destroying my family and for every thing they did...
