BXBX NOVEL Chapter 3 Supportive Wives
"Melissa..." Alex repeated softly.
Melissa did a light nod. "That\'s my name."
"I don\'t remember meeting any person with such a name." Alex shook his head and answered.
"That\'s obvious, you don\'t have your memories so you can\'t recall anything."
"But--"
Melissa put her index finger on Alex\'s lips. "Shhh. I know you have many questions. Let me explain everything and just listen for the next few minutes."
Alex had no choice but to nod and go with the flow.
"So... let\'s first go through what has happened." Melissa said. "You died in a crossfire and reincarnated back to your 21-year-old self. Other than that, you have loving parents, and also loving wives whom you don\'t remember. There\'s also one thing that interests you greatly, that being..."
Melissa smiled. "Genes."
Alex took a deep breath as he heard that.
There was no doubting it, this lady in front knew everything about him.
By everything, he meant literally everything.
She even knew things which Alex didn\'t. Meeting her and conversing with her shook his whole being and he was genuinely impressed by her.
Alex didn\'t interrupt the lady despite having many questions. He let her speak and continued to be a good listener.
"You are fascinated by the human body and believe that it contains infinite potential, uncovering whose secrets might lead you to immortality."
Saying so, Melissa gently held Alex\'s face and continued, "My husband, I don\'t know how you chose this path which almost nobody has even thought of walking on or chooses to walk on, but me being your wife, no, us, all your wives, we are here to support you on your journey and help you reach the top."
Melissa then extended her hand out, palm facing up.
Light converged in the middle of her palm and soon a shiny orb manifested.
Melissa then turned to look at Alex and said with a smile, "knowing how many genes have been uncoiled is a difficult task. We, your wives, came to a consensus that you should have something to track your progress and also help you in your journey. Don\'t worry, this is not some golden ticket to immortality or anything, it\'s just a tool to help you grow."
"Once this blends with you, you\'ll be pulled back to reality and can start your journey."
Melissa let out a relieved sigh. "Phew, I am done explaining everything. Is there anything you want to ask, my dear?"
Alex nodded but then shook his head. "I have so many questions, I don\'t understand what to even ask."
Melissa giggled. "That\'s a given. You\'ve been overwhelmed by information."
Alex did a light nod. "Right, you said I had many wives, right?"
"Yes? What about them?"
"Where are they?"
Melissa smirked. "You\'ll meet them soon on your journey, don\'t worry about it."
Alex shook his head. "If that\'s the case, why did I meet you suddenly and not later?"
"Oh, that..." Melissa started laughing, but soon, a cold glint appeared in her eyes and she said, "I beat all those bitches and after great bloodshed, got the opportunity to be the one to see you first."
"Eh?" Alex was genuinely surprised.
Melissa chuckled. She kissed Alex\'s forehead and said, "don\'t worry about it. Now go journey, my sweetheart, and achieve what you wanted to achieve. I\'ll see you soon."
"Wai--" Alex still had many questions but Melissa slapped the orb onto his chest and pushed him out of this world.
Once Alex was gone, silence ensued in this world for a few seconds, and then...
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Sounds of footsteps could be heard coming in the direction of Melissa.
"Tch. Tch. Tch."
A peerless black-haired, red-eyed beauty donning a tight leather outfit walked towards Melissa while clicking her tongue in disappointment.
Her hourglass-like figure and her curves were something which many men and women alike would fight to just have a glimpse of.
"Mel-chan, I didn\'t expect this from you." The beauty said.
Melissa\'s mood instantly changed and she got annoyed by the presence of this person. "Shut the fu--"
"Fufufu..." the beauty appeared right in front of Melissa and put a finger on her lips.
Her blood red eyes stared straight into Melissa\'s serene blue ones and said, "I thought you would pin him down here, take advantage of him losing his memories, and go for multiple rounds until he gave up."
The beauty then shook her head, disappointment written all over face, and continued, "I was expecting such a good show and was looking forward to joining you, and kicking you out midway, but tsk, everything is ruined."
Multiple veins popped up on Melissa\'s forehead and...
THWACK!
She held onto the beauty\'s shoulder and jabbed her knee right on her abdomen.
"Owf. Bitch, that hurts!" The beauty complained.
She distanced herself from Melissa and said with an annoyed face, "calm your tits, Melissa. I was just joking."
"Ptui! Calm, my ass! I know you secretly wanted everything you said!" Melissa cursed.
"Hehe, you know me." The beauty did a cute \'oops\' face and laughed.
Just as she did that, Melissa\'s annoyance rose further and she stomped on the ground, making a lance appear out.
"Oh, shit! Bitch, are you serious!? You wanna fight?" The beauty started running away.
Holding the lance in her hand, she started running behind the lady and yelled, "Scarlett, you bitch! Why are you running!? Face me!"
"Hot damn, you outta your mind, girl. I ain\'t involving myself in any of this. Goodbye!" The beauty, called Scarlett, started running away.
"YOU CAN\'T RUN!" Melissa yelled and continued to chase Scarlett.
Away from the two who were bickering, there were ten heaven defying beauties, sitting around a round table and drinking tea.
One of the ladies with blue hair put her teacup down and said, "I wonder how long they\'re gonna be at it."
A purple-haired lady with a veil on her face replied in her sweet voice, "once husband wakes up, they should get back to work. But that aside..."
The lady sighed. "Despite me being Fate itself, I couldn\'t win against Melissa in the bid to be with husband at this moment."
Another lady at the table sighed and replied to that, "The game was tough. Even we, as Gods, can\'t predict the outcome. There\'s no destiny, there\'s no fate, there\'s nothing involved in this. Just pure skills."
The purple-haired lady knitted her brows and said, "I wonder which accursed person made such a difficult game. Tsk, had it been a simple coin toss, I could easily manipulate my scores and be with husband."
"HEYYYYY!" Many ladies at the table simultaneously yelled.
The purple-haired lady chuckled. "You can\'t blame me, sisters. We all want to meet our husband as soon as possible."
The ladies turned quiet.
The blue-haired lady nodded. "That\'s true. If there was a chance available, I would\'ve rigged the matches too."
The purple-haired lady then smirked and said while looking in the direction of Melissa, who was now being chased by an angry Scarlett holding a shoe instead, "no matter what, no matter how strong we are... at the end of the day... it\'s really difficult to make it past the Creator herself."
Everyone around the table sighed.
"True. It\'s even scarier if the Destroyer involves herself. Thankfully, she\'s pretty chill and doesn\'t care about anything." A lady around the table added.
The ladies nodded their heads in agreement.
"Anyway, since some of us are here already, why don\'t we have a rematch and sharpen our skills to have a better chance at winning the next time." Someone suggested.
"Good idea." The blue-haired lady commented.
"Okay, let\'s go. Me first." The purple-haired lady was fired up.
"I\'ll be your opponent." The blue-haired lady quickly said.
"I\'ll go for the second match..."
"I\'ll go for third..."
The ladies decided the order for themselves and once everyone was ready, the purple-haired and the blue-haired lady stood in front of each other, ready to start the match while the others sipped on tea and watched them with intense gazes.
"Okay... we\'ll start in 3..." the purple-haired lady started the countdown.
"2..."
"...1..."
Just as the countdown finished, both the ladies extended their hands out and...
"ROCK! PAPERS! SCISSORS!"
