THIS STORY IS BASICALLY WRITTEN VERSION OF A BOLLYWOOD MOVIE "EK VILLIAN". I watched it and loved so much that I wanted to write it.

"So, where is Felix now?"
"He's still in state orphanage now. No one has adopted him yet. He's chances are slim, anyway. Who would want a kid whose parents were psychopaths?"
Demetri merely nodded. "Yes, that is sad. Now have you had any recent contact with James?"
"No. No recent contact. We haven't actually talked for a while. His last call was a year ago. He was in Fooks or Forks or something. But this call wasn't a regular one. Normally, if he killed someone, he would just boast about how his wife is finally dealt with and shit. But this time he knew that she wasn't his wife. He called me crying and said that he killed a kid today. That he was helpless and had no choice and then hung up. But that's all I know. I have no idea where he is."
"Well. Laurent, thank you so much for your time. We really appreciate it."
"No problem."
As we got out of there, my thoughts scattered all over the place. He knew Bella wasn't his wife but he still killed her. And what was that about a kid? Whose kid did he kill? There weren't any reports about a dead kid.
"We really need to find that fucker." I growled out to Demetri to which he just nodded.
9. Dear Diary
Two Years Ago
Forks
We were at the coffee shop again. We have been talking for over an hour mainly about Bella. But I loved to see how her eyes twinkled while she talked about the things she loved and how her hands danced around all over the place when she tried to explain to me something that I didn't understand.
"So, what's the plan now? Now that you're done with college."
"Well, I want to run an organization for orphan kids. A place where kids are given a good upbringing and life. I want them to feel loved instead of feeling discarded. I have saved up some money, but I know it'll be a while before that dream comes true." She sighed wistfully.
Out of nowhere, I have a sudden urge to help her make this dream come true.
"That's… wow. You're amazing." I whispered before I could stop myself. She merely smiled at me.
"Well enough about me. What about you? What are your plans? Don't you want to be something other than a made man?"
I shrugged. "I've never really thought of an alternate life. I've been in this job for a long time and I'm in no hurry to leave it."
"Oh." She whispered, disappointed.
"I mean, I could leave it all for a good reason." I said, hurriedly and looked pointedly at her.
"Good." She beamed at me.
Before we could talk further, her phone rang.
"Hi, dad." A pause and then a sigh. "Fine, I'll be there."
I grimaced looking down. She's leaving. When will we meet again? What if she doesn't want to see me again?
Bella snapped me out of my thoughts. "I have to go. But wait." She grabs a tissue and writes down something on it hurriedly. "Here, that's my number. Call me soon and we'll meet again. Okay? Bye." She handed me the tissue quickly and then ran out the door while I stared at her dazedly.
Well, at least I got her number. I started to get up when I saw a brown leather book dropped near the chair. It must have been Bella's. She must have forgotten it in her haste. I ran towards the door but she was already gone. I smiled. Well, another reason to call her and meet her.
I was sitting in my room staring at the book, contemplating if I should read it. Demetri burst into my room. "Dude, I have been searching you for a long time. How was the date?"
I shrugged at him in nonchalance. "Meh." I said and then hid the book behind my back.
"What's that? Is it the mystery girl's?" When I didn't respond, he grabbed it from me. "Let's read it then." He opened the book and started reading it.
"Demi, don't." I warned. But he knew I wanted to read it too.
"Well, it's not a diary. It looks like a bucket list. Let's see what all we have here. Hmm.
No. 1: Underwater diving,
No. 2: Ride a motor bike,
No. 3: Get a tattoo,
No. 4: Unite two lovers,
No. 5: Save a life.
Wow, quite a list your girl's go-"
I didn't let him finish. I grabbed the book hastily. To save a life, of course. That explained why she was so eager to spend time with me. She just wanted to complete some wish from her stupid bucket list.
I was basically her pet project for some stupid list of wishes. All those smiles and laughs were all fake. Clearly, I was wrong. Bella was no different from others. She was selfish too and like everyone else, she was trying to use me.
I let out a harsh laugh.
Why did it matter to me all of a sudden if someone didn't care for me? It had never affected me before. People had used me and I had used them in return. So, why was she different?
I took a deep breath to calm myself. I quickly texted Bella to meet me at the coffee shop again tomorrow.
And then I tried to sleep. Only the nightmares won't let me. I kept turning in my bed and then finally succumbed to exhaustion.
So what did you think? Review and let me know.
