MY BILLIONAIRE CELEBRITY - CHAPTER 1&2
{ Encounter }
Luella eyes opened slowly, thinking she would be in an hospital after last night accident but she isn’t.
She looked at where she is but everywhere is dark. The bed she’s on is in the middle of nowhere. It feels like it’s a dream or something.
“Anyone here!!”she screamed but it sounded like a whisper to her.
“What’s happening?”she muttered and instantly, the bed she’s on disappeared, meeting herself on the ground but she felt no pain.
“Welcome!”someone said and she raised her head up, only to see herself in another place. She’s in-between two places. In-between two worlds.
“You died an hour ago”the lady who spoke before said. She’s dressed on a black and white attire.
“So you’re a grim reeper?”
“Even more than rude”the lady said.
“What’s your aim? And exactly what am I doing here cause nothing seems to make sense?”she asked.
“I don’t know why someone like you can’t just die and have your punishment in hell already”the lady muttered but she heard, she tried talking but couldn’t.
“I control things here child. Let’s pick”the lady said and they appeared to the top of where they were. Now able to see in-between the two world.
“By our right is life and then left is death. You should be moving to the left off course but destiny has it own way”the lady said.
“Just go with the words and stop stopping half way”she said since she was allowed to talk already. The lady stared at her and sighed.
“You’ll be living as someone else. In the body of someone else. You’d face hardship and at least learn a lesson. You’ve got six months to stay but since you’re still who you are, a year is your maximum. Any insult on someone adds a year to the six months”the lady said.
“You can’t just say what you feel like and expect me to agree to all the bullshits you said. Listen, I’m Luella, seems you got the wrong……”she stopped talking cause her mouth got slid.
“It’s gonna be hard for you to change. A little punishment, the soul of the body gets to talk at her own wish”the lady said and again, they appeared to the ground.
“See”
In front of them is Luella in an hospital. She’s in coma, fighting for her life off course. Her mom is in there, crying her eyes out.
“Mom”she muffled.
“Seems you at least have respect for a soul”the lady said and immediately, the show disappeared.
“Mom!”
“I hope to see you before a year or else you die”the lady said and touched Luella with a staff. She disappeared.

LONDON.
AN APARTMENT.
Luella’s eyes opened, she’s in a room.
“What the hell”she muffled, stepping down. Looking at the small room.
“This looks like a pet cage”she hissed walking out of the room.
“She’s awake!”a girl said. She looked at the so called living room. A girl was with a phone, watching movie, another one who’s looking like a guy with her dressing, though her hair is pretty long, she’s eating and lastly, the one who said something is counting a bundle of money.
“What’s with the look?”the one who’s eating asked.
“What am I doing here and who are you all?”she asked.
“I told you we should take her to the hospital, she surely lost her sanity”the one on the phone said, dropping the phone.
“I’m sure she’s joking”the one counting money said.
“Can you stop with the silly confusing words and give me an answer!”she shouted.
“What’s with the attitude?”a guy walked in.
“Where the hell did you come from!”she shouted.
“She surely lost her memory”the one eating said.
“What’s going on?”the guy asked.
“Sit”the one with the phone said and she slowly sat down beside the one counting money. But instead of feeling comfortable on the couch, she keeps going into the couch.
“I’m Monique”the one with a phone said.
“Priscilla”the one counting money said.
“Irina”the one eating said.
“Theodore”the guy said and she sighed.
“And me? And why are you all here?”she asked.
“Sabrina and we’re friends who live together”Irina said.
“f-__-k, what type of $h|t did I get into”she muffled but they weren’t paying attention to her anymore.
Theodore put on the small TV in front of them. Showing Alastair.
“Sab crush uhn”Irina teased.
“Crushing on a man old enough to birth her”Monique scoffed.
“Love conquers all”Sabrina’s soul said and they looked at her.
“You forgot everything but not him?”
“Why should I, I love him”she smiled but her soul left instantly cause Luella took over.
“How would I like him? He’s not my spec and….. what am I saying I like him, no love”Sabrina’s soul took over.
“You know what? Just take a nap”Theodore stood up, switching off the TV as he walked out.
“The money is complete right?”Monique asked.
“Yeah”Priscilla said.
“You should take a nap cause you’re not skipping tonight’s work”Irina said and just like that, they all walked out.
Luella let out a huge sigh. “How dare them talk to me that way!”she shouted but sighed again.
**
NIGHT.
LIGHT • UP CLUBHOUSE.
Luella and the others walked in. She found out they all work as bartender here.
“Don’t act clumsy and silly”Irina said after they had a change of clothes. Seems she and Sabrina were the closest.
“Since you lost your memory temporarily, let’s meet outside by 11″Monique said and again, they left her.
“Move those legs Sabrina, the night won’t wait for you!”a fat man shouted from a corner but she stood her ground.
“Who the hell is he to order me around?”she muffled.
“Sabrina!”the man yelled again.
“Don’t get started please”Theodore was the one who handed her a tray of drinks.
“To that table”he pointed and walked away.
“Oh wow, just like that?! I’m gonna ki|| you once I get my real body back”she scoffed and began walking to the table. She dropped the tray of drinks.
“Hey! You’re pretty”one of them said and she scoffed.
“I’m more pretty than this body”she scoffed.
“You won’t take the tray?”another said and she turned to him, only to see Alastair.
“Oh my!”Sabrina’s soul took control and screamed.
“What’s it?”
“I’m a huge fan!”she said.
“That’s it”the other one giggled as he stared at Alastair who has a blank face.
“Don’t you have others to serve?”he said.
“Others…..”
“You work here”he said.
“Yes, I’ve always wanted to meet you once”she said with smiles.
“And you have”he said.
“I like you”she said with a close eye but Alastair kept his straight face. He surely hears that a lot.
She slowly opened her eyes when she heard nothing.
“You should leave”he said.
“I…..Geez, you just embarrassment her just like that”Luella took over.
“What are you saying?”
“I really don’t know what she sees in you cause you aren’t even that all of it and you know what…..I like you more than you think it is, I’m in love with you”Sabrina’s soul took over.
Her voice was loud despite the loud music. Alastair’s friend couldn’t help but laugh.
“Is she crazy!”
