《Badboy's hired wife》You're in trouble

"Where is Vincent hun?" Mitch asked as i sit with them at the cafeteria.
It's a gloomy day today. My morning sickness is already leaving me and i'm glad about that. I'm still attending Uni, but soon i'll be having my home schooling because i don't want to deal with anyone when i'm on my second semester.
"At home, busy." Checking my fingernails, well, i want a new nail polish.
"Busy with what?" Aina barge in, sitting between our seats then eat some fries from the table.
"I don't know, that's all the thing that he told to me." Why are they asking about Vincent? Their boyfriends are not around too, but i'm not asking if where are they. I mean, it's okay to ask but it's not an interesting topic.
Vincent and i were good. Just good, nothing more. It's been two days that i can feel how strange Vincent acts. His still sweet to me but more of, busy with his phone. If it's not on his phone, with his laptop, i just find it too weird and strange for me.
"Ohh, anyway, let's go." I just follow them going back inside our rooms for the remaining class.
Day has been a little irritating because of my condition. I need to go to bathroom then need to deal with my mood swings. I'm not expecting these things, really.
"I'll call you as soon as i get home." I chirpily said to my girl friends before hopping inside the cab. I still don't have my own car. Vincent have, but i? I just don't know how to use that thing. I'm not born with a silver spoon in my mouth, so those fancy cars, those modernized things, those are not my field.
"Corinthian Condominium." I told to the cab driver and let my mind fly somewhere.

The afternoon sun rays, striking the inside of the cab, causing me to wear my sunglasses. I look over the window, checking those by standers and those people that has errands.
It's still a busy city. Car horns, people rushing all around and establishments that are busy as a bee. It's city after all, that's why i missed living down town with my parents.
"How long have you been carrying your child, Madam?" The cab driver asked out of the blue. I turn my head on his direction, seeing him looking at me in the mirror.
"Thirteen weeks." I smiled. He looks a little younger than my Dad but has those grey hairs rising on his head.
"First child?" I nodded, clasping my hands together, letting it rest on my lap.
"First child will test everything. It will test you and your husband, difficult times, good times.." He smiled at me then continue.
"You will know the importance of life, once you heard your child's first cry, see your child's first smile, it will just pop in your head that, "wow, this feels so amazing". So if i were you.." I'm mesmerize with every words that this driver is saying. It's been a while since i have a talk like this.
"Enjoy life and don't let anyone destroy your family." I feel the car stopped, but i was still stuck with his words. Did he just told me those things?
"We're here, Madam." Startled, i get my wallet then handed him cash. I slowly get out of the cab and before i close the door, i look at him.
"I believe that you have a great family. Everything that you said i will keep it in my mind. See you soon." I close the cab's door, then wave my hand as he started to move the cab.

That's an amazing ride.
I walk inside the building, greeting the receptionist then ride in the elevator. Why is everyone so gay and cheerful today? Well i'm happy about that.
I step out of the elevator then walk towards the door of our unit. I know Vincent is home, because the door is open.
Without hesitation, i enter inside then walk going to our living room. To my surprise, his here. His here with Bettina, that was straddling on top of him. They are kissing like they were too crazy at each other.
Rooted at my place, i just look at them. I can't even speak, nor let the tears that wanted to fall since i've seen this.
All those things that the driver told me, it runs in my mind repeatedly. Those words that he told me that, "don't let anyone destroy our lives.", i think it's not going to happen.
My purse that i was holding, slip down from my hand, causing them to separate. Never in my life did i expect this thing to happen.
Vincent push Bettina then look at me. He get up from his seat then walk or should i say run towards the place where i am standing.
"Isabelle, it's not what your thinking.." He holds me on my shoulder, shaking my body, but my body is not working properly.
"Babe! Please! I'm sorry." I don't know what was happening, but all i know is that i'm helpless. I feel so betrayed and lost.
Tears slip down from my eyes and i know it's not good for me, actually i'm not thinking about myself now, i'm thinking about our child or should i say, my child.
I remove his hold from me, then get my purse from the floor. I ignore him and that Bettina, that i know is doing her happy dance because finally she did something that can destroy us.
I walk rapidly towards the front door then run towards the lift while pressing the buttons not to let Vincent get inside of it.
As i reach the lobby, i run towards the entrance not even caring about how i look or how am i. I just want to get out of this hell, not to intrude in his life.
"Isabelle!" I heard him but i keep on running and running
But i stop as i feel his hand grips on my arm, stopping me to run.
"I'm sor--" I let my hand control on it's own. It meets his cheek, not even caring on how hard that slap is.
"We're over." I breathed out, that's the only thing i can say.

Cosmic Plague
In this world, everyone is cursed with a single fate: Become the most powerful. But those who do become powerful, they hate it. Power is misery and death is the solace. လလလ Nazar, a weapon of mass destruction created by the ancient God of Destruction revolted against his creator a long time ago. While he did defeat his creator, the power he was given is still within him. He is cursed with infinite power, standing at the top of the celestial hierarchy. He has more power and wealth than he needs. But even then, he craves one thing; death. He wants to die. Power is misery and death is the solace, but he cannot achieve his only goal. He cannot die. Perhaps that will change when one day, an ancient cosmic Goddess rises from her grave? Perhaps she will finally kill him? Or will she fall short before his awesome yet terrible power? Only time will tell. This is a high cosmic story about the hypocritical life of the protagonist and how it affects everyone (and everything) around him. Naturally, it features very overpowered characters with a lot of high stakes battles roaming across the cosmos. Warning: Swearing, some suggestive sexual gestures/words, gore. Feedback is highly welcomed. (The story was originally named, God's Return, but I wanted to change it.)
