Mr. Beautiful ghost angel

Alisha: The thing about these MLs is they hate disobedience. Like, one wrong word and boom instant brooding mode activated. So, here’s my genius plan: I’ll play the perfect little angel, nod along to everything he says, and let him think he’s in charge.

But secretly… I’ll be pulling the strings. Slowly, I’ll make him fall head over heels for me. By the time he realizes it, he’ll be the one listening to me!

I’m not going to be one of those helpless, teary-eyed heroines begging for mercy. Nope, not this girl. I’m rewriting the whole plot!

Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time in the history of novels, watch as I, Ruhee the Great, outsmart the possessive male lead and make him believe he’s the boss… while he actually dances to my tune.

Mark my words future FLs, take notes. You’re about to witness a masterclass in ,survival!”

(She says proudly, chest puffed, striking an imaginary victory pose.)

(Did I mention Ruhee is slightly self-obsessed? Well, now you know.)

Let the show begin, (she grins, like a villainess about to take over the world.)

Nox: Wow, host. You are cunning, smart, and yet calculative.

Alisha: Who do you think I am?(Grinning) Anyway, I know that already. But you forgot to add beautiful and hot. (winks) I’m a whole package, a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. You should be glad to have a host like me. (self-centered)

Nox: (judging hard) I shouldn't have said that to her. (mumbles)

Alisha: Did you say something?

Nox: No host, nothing.

Alisha: hmm... By the way, Foxie as reward granted, I want to know why Luca loved the original owner.

Nox: Okay host. See this (snaps the finger as a screen appears and starts playing)

On the Screen:

When Alisha was 12, she went to a school camp near the forest. When everyone was strolling around the forest with few teachers' guidance. She was walking with her team. Then she saw a beautiful butterfly. It was different from others, so she started following it. She stumbled over a small stone and crashed to the ground.

Alisha: ahhaaaa (screams in pain; her ankle was twisted. She couldn’t move so she just sat there without moving, checked her ankle)

(She looked around her, then the sudden realization hit her hard only then she realized that she was lost in the forest alone.)

Alisha: It's scary, I am alone here. I am scared. (afraid of darkness) (started sniffing, tears welled up in eyes, threatening to fall) haa granny(the orphanage owner where she grew up) taught me to be strong whenever I am scared, I should start to sing the song granny sang for me every time I feared darkness.

(She began by humming softly, then continued to sing the melody with her angelic voice.)

[The sudden rustling of leaves made her stiffen. She stopped her melody, her breathing hitching in horror. Panic filled her teary eyes as she looked around the forest.]

Alisha: is someone there (voice filled with horror and fear)

[Suddenly, she saw a shadow and felt a presence around her. She gathered all her courage and decided to look back. But before she could turn, the shadow slowly began to move toward her.

Terrified, she tried to move, but her legs betrayed her. The shadow seemed to be approaching again. Just as she made another attempt to move, someone touched her shoulder. She screamed in terror and burst into tears.]

Unknown: hey, don't cry, don't cry please.

Alisha: Please leave me, ghost sir. I am not at all tasty. Please don't eat me. (wishers while sobbing) (she covered her face in fear)

Unknown: Hey, I won't harm you (facepalm). And I am not a ghost.

Alisha: You are not a ghost. So, you won't eat me.

Unknown: Hey kiddo, I’m highly offended! Open your eyes and look closely. Do I look like a ghost to you? I bet you’ve never seen such a handsome ghost!

Alisha: No, I won't. I am scared. (still covering her face).

Unknown: Are you serious? What kind of ghost just talks casually instead of scaring people with their powers? First open your eyes and talk to me.

Alisha: (peeks from her fingers gap) What if you are the kind of ghost that would lure people into its trap and then eat people. (someone with great imagination).

Unknown: Kiddo, I have shadows. You need to open your eyes to see me first.

Alisha: (finally takes her hands from her face) Yes, you are too beautiful to be a ghost. But what if you are some kind of monster who disguises itself as a human to make people believe them and then eat them like a nine-tailed fox. (Side effects of reading too many novels and watching too many series, having an overactive imagination with dangerously vivid storytelling skills.).

Unknown: I am done with you, Kiddo. And I am handsome not beautiful. I came here following your song; it was nice. I thought you might need some help, so, I came here. Look around the forest is scary, you can follow me or just stay here and wait for the ghost, a real one. The kind with multiple legs and hands with terrifying fangs and sharp claws and nails. (someone who possesses great sarcasm with the ability to handle anyone).

Alisha: (got scared by his words) Okay Mr. Beautiful ghost, I believe you for now. So, what is your name?

Unknown: Hey again. haaa (shakes his heads and takes a deep breath in frustration). Forget it, at least you can talk like a normal person. What is your name?

Alisha: Hey, what do you mean by that I am a normal human/ You are the abnormal one here. You approached me like a ghost and scared me, okay. And tell me your name, I asked you first.

Unknown: Hey, what? do I look abnormal to you(stabbed). Forget it (totally done with her) I am Luca. Now can you tell me your name.

Alisha: Yes, I am Alisha. What are you doing here?

Luca: ohh that. I am on my mission (said unconsciously).

Alisha: What mission?

Luca: haa, did I just say mission? (eyes widen in realization, trying to come up with best reason) No, no you should have heard it wrong. I was saying I went missing in the forest. I was camping with my friends, and I was looking around and lost my way then followed your song here. (The one who came to catch a traitor.)

Alisha: “mission and missing are totally two different things, is he some kind of alien” (looks at him weirdly like he is some kind of different creature on earth, cannot believe what he is saying but still nods in response)

Luca: (can understand what she is thinking) (laughs awkwardly) hey, I am not an alien.

Alisha: (lips parts “o” in surprise) “he can also read minds” (tilts her head in confusion).

Luca: No, I cannot read minds. (waiting for another insult)

Alisha: (eyes widen and double shocked) you are not a beautiful ghost, but you have mind reading power, then you are an alien, right? (yells the last sentence)

Luca: yaaa, you are too much. No, I am not. (frustrated)

Alisha: Now, I got. You are an angel. (wiggles her eyebrows) You are on the earth to complete your mission. That's why you said mission, right? I am a genius. I just got everything right?

Luca: (flicks her forehead) Kiddo, stop with your fantasy stories and stop watching too much fictional novels. I am just a normal human. (Says the one who is anything but normal, the most feared man of the underworld, the mafia king himself. Not to mention his billionaire identity.)

Alisha: ouch...(rubs her forehead) You know this too. Then how did you know what I was thinking, and about the stories and novels are my favorites. Hey, don't lie Mr. Beautiful ghost angel. You can believe me, I can keep secrets and I can also help you in your mission (says while looking at him with sparkling eyes.)

Luca: “cute, what am I thinking, she is just a child. But if she knows what kind of mission I am on and who am I. Forget helping, she will probably run away from me” (shakes his head) sorry to disappoint you. No, I am not whatever you are thinking. I don't know mind reading it was written on your face. As for the favorites, I can tell that by the way you talk. Now, show me your ankle. (check her legs). Can you walk?

Alisha: No, I cannot move.

Luca: Okay, I will carry you. (He squats in front of her and pats his shoulder, as if asking her to climb onto his neck.)

Alisha: (She thinks for a moment and reluctantly agrees, having no other choice and not knowing why she feels safe with him. She climbs onto his shoulders and wraps her hands around his neck.)

Luca: (He holds her hands to support her and notices the half-moon-shaped birthmark on her left hand.) Your birthmark is beautiful and unique (he says softly while caressing her knuckles just above the mark.)

Alisha: (felt butterflies in her stomach, ignores it and says) everyone says that.
