BXBX NOVEL Chapter 234: No need to rush [1/2]
"Ma. Why can't you just adopt me? I will just live here with you. I promise I will take care of Bless and Alana! I don't need a room, I can sleep on the floor, just please let me stay."
Noelle made a frustrated face and took me in her arms. Her warm hug made me feel safe. I cuddled deeper as I wished this woman was my mother.
"Dipshit. You know there is nothing I would like more in the world. But your parents and I know each other. And it's complicated. I promised your mom I wouldn't get involved until you're of age."
My heart broke at her words. Bitter at the apparent betrayal, I pulled away from Noelle's embrace and vented my anger by yelling at her.
"I hate you Noelle! You lied to me! You don't love me! You are just like my real mother! I hate you!"
I ran aimlessly and soon found myself collapsed in the woods. It was the same night that my father found me. But instead of taking me home, he took me deeper and literally threw me to a gray wolf.
At 12 years old, death would normally be a certainty, but somehow I survived. I blacked out right after I managed to kill the wolf with a makeshift spear.
I woke up two days later in the hospital with Noelle at my bedside. Earl told me much later that it was Noelle who found me unconscious and bleeding in the woods. My second mother, in particular, stormed my house and thrashed my father so badly that he didn't wake up until the next day.
As if to regain my favor, Noelle spent the day taking care of me. Of course, her motherly affection melted my hatred like snow in the summer. After we made up, I never brought up adoption again.
I didn't care if I had a different last name. My heart knew my Earl and Noelle Simmons were my parents.
"Bella, you recorded all that right?" Lilly asked in a daze.
"I did, somehow I am jealous that Honey had such parents. Mine were murdered by terrorists."
"Indeed, it is rare to see such a loving marriage, such affection is rare even in the North. I rarely saw my parents together even when my mother was alive."
"I know, right? My parents hated each other, so I usually just hung out with Jas and my nana. I was told that they were forced together and did not leave their first loves of their own volition."
"Anyway, there was a lot of wisdom in her words. My parents disappeared early on, so I never had any bridal training. I was too preoccupied with Haru."
"I don't even remember mine, I was already with the Benelli's for as long as I can remember."
"Same, I was with the terrorists since I was an ankle biter. Hopefully Ma will be willing to teach us. It feels weird to call someone mother. America has it good."
"My mother died in poverty all because she was my father's mistress. Believe me, even in the U.S., a marriage like theirs is rare. Truly, I would be willing to give all my money for such bliss."
Somehow the mood turned grim. I never knew the Sirens had such a dark pasts. It made me feel better to know that at least I had a second set of parents. After my conversation with Vincent. I looked at the group of girls in wonder.
How did the girls become reapers? Who killed them? How did they get Reaper blood in their bodies? What circumstances led to the creation of their {Fates}? Unlike during the enlistment, an intense desire was brewing within me.
During the time I spent away from the Sirens, I fought in Hellsgate without rest. From fighting alone, I now had the 2nd Amendment. The LLG even popped up along the way. Now I even had a Mafia family coming under my command.
There was so much to tell, I didn't even know where to begin. It was the first time I felt like this. Trying to keep the excitement down, I tried to remember the list I had made this morning.
1. Seeker war - supplies, tactics and preparations.
2. Missing {fate} and {Kismet}.
3. Guns for the 2nd Amendment.
4. Getting Earl's family to move permanently.
5. Preparing Earl's family in case I die.

6. Steady Income for the Sirens. | Sharing how to become a Specter with Lilly.
7. Location for the house of the 2nd Amendment.
8. Reunion this Sunday with Caroline and Harry. (Should I go).
9. Purchasing additional guns.
Of the nine points, 3 and 7 would be done by Vincent. I planned to ask Bella and Lilly for help with 4. Since Vincent refused to accept any money, I could take care of 5 without any problem.
At the moment 2 and 6 were the most urgent. I still had 2 days and 1 night until Saturday evening. Since having EXA would make a huge difference, I should ask everyone for their {fates}.
As if anticipating my thoughts, Aki placed a small vial of blood on the coffee table. Everyone in the room naturally saw the vial and glared at her.
"Master, I think you have something to ask the rest of the Sirens."
"Ah right, thank you Aki. Girls, would you mind giving me a vial of your blood? I need your {Fates} for something."
"I refuse!" Lilly snapped.
Surprised by her outburst, I held my tongue and tried to think of a good excuse. They still had {Rewind}, so I had little to bargain with.
Aki whispered in my ear. Her face was so close that her breath felt ticklish.
"Master, Lily-sama is not refusing because she does not want to, but because she wants something in return. Now, Lily-sama, you must tell Master clearly. How should he compensate you?"
"I-I want ..." Uncharacteristically, the self-confident Lilly was nowhere to be seen as she stammered.
But before she could finish her sentence, Bella threw herself at me and mounted me in one swift motion. The weight of her body sent blood rushing to my manhood, making my body extremely aroused.
