Chapter 45: Chapter 45

Elsa looked back and then got up from her seat, "Jazzlin!" She ran toward me for a moment I also ran to reach her.

We hugged like old friends apart.

"Are you all right?" She asked in a trembling voice filled with worry.

"Yup. Look I'm still breathing well." I giggled.

Ronald walked up to us, "Wow, Haytham just gave you up? Jake managed to kidnap you that means." He smiled proudly.

"It's not like that. I just need to tell you about something you need to know." I changed the topic of conversation straight to the point.

"It's weird seeing you being so serious." Ronald babbled blankly.

Elsa nodded in agreement with her boyfriend's words, "Then tell us."

"But, please don't freak out. This may not make sense, but you really need to know it." I gave them a signal with my hands gesture.

Elsa nodded before she pressed her lips restlessly.

"Say it, I won't comment until you've finished explaining it." Ronald promised.

At the beginning I started telling stories, their faces were still normal. However, slowly as the story getting deeper and darker, their faces tightened.

Their gazes were full of horror and utterly stunned with shock.

Ronald looked at me in disbelief, while Elsa covered her mouth with her right hand. A couple gasps left her mouth.

An unexpected reaction that I wasn't expecting, but I wanted to know what they were thinking of this all.

"I thought being reborn only in fiction stories." Elsa commented to Ronald.

"Aww, I was surprised at your nonsense story, Jazzlin." Ronald said in disbelief, "If you think I'm going to believe, then you're seriously wrong."

I frustratedly rubbed my forehead, "I'm telling the truth. Why don't you guys easily believe like Jake did?"

"Because the story is just in the stories or movies." Ronald mocked me with his eyes as Elsa was in deep thought.

"God! You can ask Jake or Haytham!"

"Haytham?" Ronald laughed out loud after his name came out of my mouth, "You can't possibly tell him. You're his enemy, if this is important... you can't possibly tell him." I was at my wits end to convince them. Suddenly Ronald's laughter stopped and his face turned pale.

"Wait a minute, based on your previous story... You became best friend with him at the orphanage, right?"

I nodded without waiting for a long time.

"It means..." Elsa suddenly said, "You're telling the truth?"

I was almost happy but suddenly Elsa shook her head again, "No way. You must be trying to fool us because Haytham has brainwashed you!" Elsa claimed just to make Ronald nod in agreement.

"What's up, friends?" Jake appeared from behind me for a moment his palms patted me.

"Jazzlin out of her mind." Ronald told him, "She's acting weird."

"Let me guess, she told you guys about her 'reborn thing'?" Jake was narrowing his eyes.

"Exactly!" Ronald and Elsa said in the same time. They literally acted like I wasn't there and listening to every words they said.

"She told me about it too! And, I don't believe her." My eyes bulged and immediately hit his shoulder then stepped on his feet. He let out a scream in both shock and fear.

"Shit. I'm kidding, Janielle!" He sighed, "I believe her."

"Why?" Elsa whispered.

"Because, I have the evidence."

"Prove it." Ronald spoke with his hands on his hips.

Jake shook his head, "I don't have any direct evidence, but while in the Sanders mansion I heard some conversations that I thought were crazy. But, it all made sense when I realized all the root of this problem was just because of revenge and Haytham's obsession to do it."

Jake smiled faintly at me, then at Ronald, "Haytham told about it himself." His eyes glared at Ronald, "I investigated everything by entering the mansion secretly. I heard all about it straight from Haytham's mouth as he told Alia about all this."

"Damn!" Ronald ran his fingers through his hair.

"You're not Jazzlin then." Elsa covered her mouth with both her hands again, "You're that Janielle girl you were talking about?" She walked towards me then pinched my cheeks.

"Um- yeah." I answered a little troubled because she was the one who squeezed my cheeks.

"So, you're a ghost?" Ronald blurted out, making Jake laughed and hold his stomach.

What kind of question was that?

I glared at him, then tried to release Elsa's pinch. She chuckled then let go, "It's okay, I still like you, Janielle. You've been a good girl all this time." She looked at her boyfriend and Jake, "From the start we should have realized... Jazzlin can't possibly want to mingle with subordinates like us?"

Jake nodded in agreement, "That woman is so famous but, sometimes she was full of herself."

"Agree but, did Barra know about this?" Ronald question like a stab for me right in my heart core.

I shook my head mutely.

"This is disaster!" Ronald said as his eyes widened in surprise, "You should've told him first."

"Bro, that's the reason why she told us first. She need our help."

I nodded agree in Jake's reply.

"What can we do?" Elsa shrugged her shoulder, "We're nothing, but Young Master... he's a powerful man and the more important thing is now he's in a big mess."

"I know." I said helplessly, "But, please... until the right time, don't tell him anything about this."

"I promise you." Elsa rubbed my back, "We're in this together, okay?"

Ronald didn't response as Jake just nodded.

"Okay?" Elsa asked louder than before, making Ronald answered her quickly.

"Okay." He rolled his eyes, "Typical women."

"I heard you." She replied annoyingly.

We all laughed. Jake told me to spend my time with Elsa, maybe that way would make my mood better than before. We agreed then decided to go shopping.

I forgot that Jazzlin was famous, when I got to the mall I was approached by every reporter. They were busy asking about the continuation of my relationship with Haytham. Since when did they find out I spent time with that lovely dimpled man?

They also told me hot gossip about Barra's close relationship with my sister.

Wait, they mean Moorah?

Myself immediately burned in rage and it was burning from my heart to my entire body like I was in a fire sea of jealousy.

Elsa realized my change in attitude and immediately invited me to go back to the car.

The questions hurt me so fucking much.

I just realized that Moorah was after Barra. So, when I left and wasn't with him, did he spend time with Moorah?

Shit, I was so desperately wanted to know.

"They're just lying. Your Barra never spending his time with that bimbo."

"You're just trying to calm me down. I know it!" I was so angry to me, myself, and I. It was so hard for me to accept that anytime soon he would go from me and again, why it should be Moorah?

That sneaky-manipulative woman!

"I hate her! Ugh!" I groaned.

"Me too! But, you need to calm down and listen to me! I told you the truth Janielle." Elsa stopped, "Can I just call you Jazzlin? It sounds weird calling you that."

I shrugged, "Yea." We hopped in the car then we were heading back to the mansion.

Barra wasn't there, so I returned to my room. Everything was so fun at that time. Why did things turn ninety degrees from all my wishes?

I sat on my bed. However, the sheets looked messy like someone had screwed them when I wasn't there.

Was Barra sleeping here? Because, I found his white shirt and his distinctive scent burst into the pillow I was holding.

I couldn't stay here long, I was afraid that Barra would come back early. I quickly left the room and then headed for the main room.

When I got there I didn't find Elsa, so I turned around looking for the woman with her sharp eyes. But, wherever I went to, I still didn't find her.

I was heading to every place carelessly, then I stopped right in front of the boxing place.

I never stepped on that place while living there.

The sound of people chatting could be heard faintly from within the room. My curiosity increased in an instant wanting to know who was there.

I opened the door, but what I found just an empty room with a large mirror right in front of me. I was stunned to find a woman and a man reflections from it.

She trapped his burly body in between her arms as he couldn't back away because of the boxing rings.

I didn't know what they were doing because the woman's body was back to the mirror. For a moment I looked back and no longer looked at the mirror.

"What the fuck?" My exploding voice drowned out the silence. My chest tightened with tears that were now starting to sprout every single grain and my breath was gasping with my hands covering my mouth, holding back the cries that were getting louder.

Moorah kissed Barra and he was just stayed there.

They were suddenly shocked and Barra pushed her body then ran towards me.

"You-"

"I can explain, Jazzlin!" His completely black eyes were filled with sadness. I could see the torn wounds that were left on his stomach and chest as a result of the incident at the hospital.

His breath was in the end of his mouth, full of pressure. Sweat was pouring down his abdominal muscles endlessly, making my fingers itch to caress him.

I couldn't get back straight to my track.

"Congratulations! I'm happy for you." I ran out. This time I wouldn't let him easily catch my arm like before. My legs seemed to have magical powers, because I ran too fast from the place.
