100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 403 To Live For Him

Day Forty-Six…

~~*****~~

"Master, congratulations, you are close to accomplishing your mission!"

When Phantomflake heard that, she didn't know if she should feel glad or not. She had conflicting thoughts regarding this matter.

This only meant she would be able to return to her original body and wake up from her coma. However, this would only mean she would become Nathan's enemy again.

He would never treat her the way he treated Abigail. All this time, he could only see Abigail. He was falling for Abigail, not Phantomflake.

She could never tell him that she was the one who made him fall in love, not the real Abigail. Nathan would think of her as a crazy woman.

Phantomflake had already expected this to happen. But she couldn't help it. She hated this situation.

"Master, why aren't you happy?" Bam-Bam asked her as he flew around her.

'Damn it! I feel like my identity is being taken away from me again. Why is it every time I get closer to Nathan we are forced to separate again?' Phantomflake recalled the moment when she became Nathan's friend using her alias, Shining Star. They suddenly lost communication and Nathan disappeared without saying goodbye.

"Master?" Bam-Bam called her attention again, snapping her out of her deep thought.

"What will happen to Abigail once I go back to my real body? Have you found her soul?" Phantomflake asked Bam-Bam.

Bam-Bam bobbed his head. "Yes. I found her soul, Master. Once you return to your body, Abigail's soul can go back to her own body. The truth is… your soul is helping her body to recover. Remember, she fell from the 13th floor and she was supposed to suffer a great injury or die. But after putting your soul inside her body, your core energy is healing her body."

Phantomflake frowned at that revelation.

"So don't feel sorry for borrowing her body. You are helping her," Bam-Bam added with a cheerful voice.

"That's not my concern, Bam-Bam. What I want to know is whether she will remember everything I did as Abigail while her soul was not inside her body or not." She grabbed Bam-Bam's body using both hands, catching him so that he couldn't run away from her.

"And how about me? Will I still remember what I did as Abigail or will I lose my memory?" She didn't want to forget the moments she shared with Nathan and most especially, Ethan. She had to remember those memories, otherwise, she would prefer not to go back to her original body!

Bam-Bam was taken aback for a moment. Phantomflake's expression was frightening. She was very serious.

"Answer me honestly, or else, I will pluck your feathers one by one until you lose your wings!" She threatened him as she tightened her grip around his small body.

Bam-Bam smiled sheepishly while scratching his face using his paws. He was aware that Phantomflake was not joking. She would certainly pluck his feathers.

"Master, calm down first. I will answer all your queries. Just don't hurt this poor fellow. I'm vulnerable without my wings." Bam-Bam put on a puppy-eyed look as he begged her.

"Give me an answer now," she demanded. Her voice was firm. Deep inside, she was worried about those possible things that might happen after this soul swap.

"Master, you will remember everything. Unless you want me to erase your memories. I can do that for– Ouch!" Bam-Bam was not able to finish his words when Phantomflake squeezed his body tightly.

"Don't you dare erase my memory, Bam-Bam!"

Bam-Bam immediately raised his arms in surrender and said, "Alright! Alright! I won't erase your memory… just don't squeeze my body too tight. I can't breathe!"

After hearing his words, Phantomflake loosened her grip on his body but she was still holding him in place.

"When it comes to Abigail… she won't remember anything. Her last memory would be… the scene in the Centerville Hotel before she fell from the 13th floor," Bam-Bam said.

"Unless you want me to give her a glimpse of your memories inside her body. I can do that for– Ouch!" Phantomflake squeezed Bam-Bam once more.

"Do that if you want me to grill and cook you alive, Bam-Bam," she snapped, her eyes glaring at Bam-Bam sharply. A chilly aura surrounded her making Bam-Bam shut his mouth.

He just bobbed his head in agreement. He understood what Phantomflake wanted.

But Bam-Bam was curious about something.

"Master, can I ask you a question?"

Phantomflake rolled her eyes and said nonchalantly. "You are already asking me a question."

Bam-Bam: "..."

'Why is she so grumpy? She should be rejoicing today.'

"So?" Phantomflake raised her eyebrow, urging Bam-Bam to speak up.

"Master… Have you fallen in love with Nathan Sparks? For real?" Bam-Bam glanced at her expectantly, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Phantomflake was stunned for a moment. She was caught off guard by Bam-Bam's curious question.

'Am I obliged to answer that?'

Phantomflake was about to say something when Bam-Bam's giggle bubbled up. "Silence means Yes! I knew it!"

She felt annoyed because of Bam-Bam's teasing. The magical creature looked so happy and elated as if he was wishing for this to happen.

"Stop laughing, Bam-Bam. Nothing is funny." Phantomflake reprimanded him.

The magical creature immediately shut his mouth.

"Anyway, why am I here? What happened to Abigail's body? Did her soul return to her body? Am I going to go back to my body now?" Phantomflake bombarded him with so many questions.

"Not yet, master. Your mission is not yet done. For some unknown reason, your soul appeared here and I followed you. Abigail's soul is resting somewhere. She will be back when the right time comes. On the other hand, it looks like your body is calling your soul. The barrier is gone. You can return soon." Bam-Bam explained to her.

Phantomflake had conflicting thoughts about this. She still had so many things to do. She wanted to unfold the truth behind Monica stealing her identity as Shining Star.

In the back of her mind, she was thinking… 'I don't want to go back yet. Nathan will imprison me, torture me, and might kill me for his revenge.'

She had so many uncertainties. She wondered if she could deal with Nathan's wrath. And how about his feelings? The real Abigail won't even remember him. What would he feel about that?

Part of her was worried about Nathan getting hurt. Abigail was Dave's girlfriend. Once she woke up, she would look for Dave, not Nathan.

"Sh*t! Bam-Bam, why did you do this to me?! Things became more complicated." Phantomflake questioned the magical creature who started all this.

"I didn't have any bad intentions, master. Don't get mad at me. I just thought of giving you a second chance…"

'Second chance to correct the wrongs…' Bam-Bam thought to himself.

"I think… it's unfair for you to die like that. You have to fix things… and everything is up to you now. This is your life. Are you giving up your chance to live?" This time Bam-Bam expressed his concern for her.

A heavy breath escaped her lips. She finally released Bam-Bam's body.

When Bam-Bam asked her such a question, Little Ethan's face popped up in her mind. "Of course not. I have to live no matter what!"

'For Ethan…'

'… if I have to pay for my sin then I will live for Ethan's sake.' She found another reason to stay alive.
