A Devil's Deal To Destroy My Ex-Husband

Chapter 5: Death?

She didn’t know how much time had passed when she heard an annoying voice.

“ Eloise! Honey!” Mason's deep voice called out.

Eloise's ear came alive, and the first voice she heard caused a hard, painful stab against her chest; it was the voice of the person who despises her with every bone in her body.

“ Even if this is the afterlife, isn't he supposed to be screaming from hell, and not me hearing that bastard’s voice calling me?” she yelled in her mind, intense anger brewing inside of her while feeling the soft surface beneath her skin.

“ Hey baby,” the voice is closer now to her ear, causing her heart to burn with aches, sinking deep into her hollow.

She clenched her fist against a sheet and frowned deeply. Just then, she felt his rough palm shake her body slightly, and that's when she knew it wasn't a dream.

She flung her eyes open and screamed, startling Mason as she jumped up and out of the bed.

“ What are you doing here?!!” she yelled, looking around the familiar room. The wedding picture hanging over the wall and other photos from the photo shoot, everywhere, looked exactly as it was a few months after their wedding.

“ Hey, baby! Are you okay?” Mason asked worriedly and took a step closer, but her fierce yell halted him.

“ Don't you dare! If you take one more step, I swear on my life I'll kill you mercilessly,” she threatened, pointing at him and glaring murderously.

His presence stirred up pain in her chest and anger that demanded his blood.

Mason has never been this confused in his life, She looked like she meant every word she said.

“ Are you angry because I woke you up?” he asked innocently. Guilt was masked on his face.

Eloise ignored him and looked around vigorously, wearing confusion and anger on her face. Everything looked normal; she peeped outside and didn't see singing birds, people in white, or angels; rather, she saw people moving up and down and going about their daily life. She turned sharply back at him,

“ Are you dead?”

Mason looked shocked, pinched himself, and shook his head, “No, I'm not.”

“ Get out!”

“ Huh?”

“ Get out!” she shouted and grabbed the table lamp and threw it at him.

“ Ouch! s**t!,” he grunted in pain as it hit his shoulder, now realizing she's extremely pissed at him and now looking for another weapon to grab, he quickly ran out of the room for his dear life. He heard the door slammed shut as he run outside, “ what the f**k is wrong with her?.”
