100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Eighty-Three…

~~*****~~

"Master!!!" Bam-Bam's voice resounded in the hospital hallway as he flew toward Jane.

Jane was on her way to visit Dave and Abigail when the magical creature suddenly appeared from out of nowhere. Fortunately, she was the only one who could see and hear Bam-Bam.

"I've missed you!" Bam-Bam threw himself at Jane, hugging her.

However, before Bam-Bam's body could make contact with her body, Jane used her two fingers, pressing them against Bam-Bam's forehead to maintain their distance.

"Bam-Bam, where have you been? I've been searching for you for the last few days!" Jane sounded upset as she put her free hand on her waist.

"Explain yourself," she sternly said, demanding his explanation.

On the other hand, Bam-Bam just smiled sheepishly, scratching his fluffy cheek using his paw.

"I got busy in the Spirit World, Master. But don't be upset. I'm back now." Bam-Bam put on a puppy-eyed look, asking for Jane's understanding.

Jane just raised her eyebrow and pursed her lips. She looked around and realized that they had to find a suitable place so that they could talk.

"Follow me on the rooftop," Jane suggested.

"Okay, Master! Let's go." Bam-Bam obediently followed Jane to the rooftop.

The two made sure that no one was around. Upon securing the area, Jane finally engaged in a conversation with Bam-Bam.

"Bam-Bam, can you verify for me? Nathan had already confessed his feelings for me yesterday. I even recorded our conversation using my phone. Now, tell me. Did I accomplish my mission? I will no longer die after 100 days?" Jane spoke spontaneously, not beating around the bush.

"Oh? Really, Master?!! Let me hear it! Let me!" Bam-Bam jumped in the air excitedly as he requested Jane to hear the recordings.

Jane immediately picked up her phone and played the recording. Bam-Bam listened to it attentively, his lips stretching out into a wide grin.

"Oh my, Master! This is it! No wonder I received a love alarm! I knew it! Congratulations, Master! You completed your mission and you are going to live after one hundred days!" Bam-Bam cheerfully shared the piece of good news with Jane.

Jane finally smiled and heaved a sigh of relief. 'Yes. I accomplished my mission. I'm not going to die.'

Jane was still savoring this success when suddenly she noticed that Bam-Bam had become silent.

"Bam-Bam, why did you become quiet? Is there something wrong?" Jane asked him with intrigue.

"Since you've completed your mission, Master. I don't have a purpose to stay here anymore. I guess it's a goodbye for us." Bam-Bam's expression had become sullen.

Jane was not able to respond right away. She just fell silent, just staring at the sad magic creature.

"I'm happy that you finally got what you truly deserved… A true love from your first love! I know you've suffered enough in the past. So many injustices happened in your life. Master… I only hope for your happiness."

"But let me remind you. There are still dangers lurking around you. You must be careful. And there are still things you have to unfold… truth you have to discover." Bam-Bam gave her a warning.

Jane furrowed her eyebrows. "Bam-Bam, you are right. There are lots of challenges ahead of us… But as long as I'm with Nathan and my family, I will be able to conquer those challenges. I'll protect them at all costs." Jane said with so much conviction in her words.

Bam-Bam nodded with a smile. "Send my regards to Ethan. He is a wonderful boy… a smart boy just like his mom." Jane frowned when she heard that. "Do you know who is Ethan's real mother?"

Bam-Bam's eyes widened and he automatically covered his mouth using both paws. He shook his head, feigning ignorance.

"Bam-Bam, tell me. Who is Ethan's mother? Is it truly Monica?" Jane captured his hands, removing the paws that were covering her mouth.

"I'm sorry, Master. But I'm not allowed to disclose that information. You have to discover it yourself." Bam-Bam said to her meaningfully.

"Just tell me. Is it Monica or not?" Jane wanted to hear affirmation from Bam-Bam that Monica wasn't Ethan's biological mother.

"Master, I can't reveal it now. But remember, the truth will always come to light! Trust me!" Bam-Bam reassured Jane.

Jane could only sigh in defeat. It looked like Bam-Bam would never tell her anything.

"Master, let's make it official," Bam-Bam immediately changed the topic.

"Official?" Jane asked in confusion.

Bam-Bam clapped his paws and a bright light encircled him. Jane was blinded for a moment by the sparkling light. When Jane's vision came back, she saw Bam-Bam holding a magic scroll.

"Our binding agreement is written here," Bam-Bam explained, showing her the content of the scroll.

"Miss Jane Rielle Hiroshi, also known as Phantomflake, I, Bam-Bam, a soul keeper, can attest that on the 82nd day of your mission, you successfully made Nathan Sparks fall in love with you. According to our agreement, your soul will now return to your original body, allowing you to keep it and preventing your death after one hundred days."

"To mark the completion of your mission, we must imprint our fingerprint onto the scroll using our blood, Master. After that, your soul will be free from this," Bam-Bam said, his voice echoing through the rooftop.

Jane just nodded in agreement. After saying that, Bam-Bam bit his paw until it bled, and then he punctured Jane's index finger using his sharp claw.

"Are you ready, Master?" Bam-Bam asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

Jane took a deep breath, her eyes locked onto his. "Yes. Let's do this."

Bam-Bam pressed his paw onto the scroll. A soft light enveloped it. He put on a satisfied smile before motioning for Jane to do the same.

Jane looked closely at the scroll, focusing her intent, then pressed her finger next to Bam-Bam's mark. The scroll reacted instantly, the runes swirling and intertwining around their hands. A warm, tingling sensation spread through her hand, up her arm, and into her chest.

Bam-Bam floated closer, his eyes gleaming with approval. "You made it, Master. You've done your mission!" he announced, his voice resonating with finality. The scroll rolled itself up, the glow fading as it transformed into an ordinary piece of parchment. Jane and Bam-Bam exchanged a look with mixed emotions.

"Thank you so much, Bam-Bam. I owe you my life. You are the one who gave me a second chance to live and be with my family," Jane said softly, a small smile playing on her lips.

At this moment, Jane didn't hesitate to hug Bam-Bam, engulfing the fluffy creature in her arms. "Because of you… I found my family. I was reunited with my sister, Abigail, and my father. I got the chance to have a fresh start with Nathan, clearing all our misunderstandings. And lastly, I've found my daughter whom I thought had died in my womb."

"You are my savior, Bam-Bam. I am indebted to you forever. I don't know how I will be able to return this favor. But… I will never forget this." Jane had become emotional now. A single tear finally flowed down from the corner of her eyes.

"Master... Ahem... The truth is, after the one hundred days, you're going to forget everything! Including me…"

Jane: "..."
