I’ve been cooped up a little bit. Yeah I’ve been training my ass off but after a while even that gets repetitive and redundant. What’s the point of it when I have no ring to apply it in because I got injured at the hands of that bitch Mercedes Vargas. SOOOOO Project Mode has been a thing. The construction of the O’Connell humble abode has been complete, so now I’ve taken it upon myself to fix what wasn’t broken but driving me nuts.
“FUCKIN’ HELL WOMAN!” Bella looks up from her tablet with a small smirk on her face because she knew exactly why he was screaming from their bedroom. He opens the door glaring at her, holding an athletic shoe. “Ok, we gotta get you back to work or something. I can’t find a damn thing in the closet.”
Rolling her eyes, she glances up at him for only a minute, “I only moved like 3 things.”
“No, you started with moving just 3 things and turned around and rearranged the entire thing! The whole Project Mode has gotten only worse. There’s times I wonder if you are the one that is pregnant and not my sister, with how much shit you’ve done.”
“Mal, you are being overdramatic.” she said, not even looking up and swiping at her tablet, “It’s not that bad.”
“Oh really?” he steps directly in front of her and holds his shoe out, “Where’s the mate?”
Bella looks at the shoe, and sorta turns red for a moment. “Oh yeah, I forgot about that....they’ll be here tomorrow.”
“What?” he says confused. She nods toward Luka who is wrapped up tight, sound asleep in her bed. He just sighs in defeat, “Are you kidding me?”
“I was in the middle of putting the shoe caddy back together and she ninja’d one on me. I meant to tell you but I forgot. Like I said, the replacements will be here tomorrow.”
“Well, at least there’s that. But you need to stop moving stuff around, and as for YOU-” he turns and points the shoe at Luka, “Stop EATING EXPENSIVE SHIT!”
Luka barks happily at him before running off to get a toy, “Hey, if it’s all the same, she killed off my yellow crocs....”
“Well, there's still hope for her yet.” he says before he tosses the shoe into the garbage. “I’ll just find another pair and we’ll get on the road.”
Bella sighs and just nods, before turning back to her tablet. Malachi can already feel it....something is wrong in Whoville.
“Okay, I know that look and sigh. Something is wrong.”
“No, nothing is wrong. Just sorta...iunno. I have attempted to get over the whole ‘I got hurt so I had to take time off’ but I’m also at the point where I feel really good and REALLY fucking useless all at the same time. I have been training day in and day out, putting all this work in and for what? I know they are pointing and laughing at me, Mercy ESPECIALLY.”
“Well, then you know what you need to do.” he said, picking up her phone and handing it to her.
She smiles, taking the phone, “Yeah, I do.”
“I’ll grab your bag.” he says, kissing her on the head before she begins dialing the phone.
“Hey, it’s Bella....I’m ready.”

Russow Training Complex
She wanted to see. She knew Vargas wouldn’t be able to help herself. She was a bragger after all. And that is exactly what she got. Mercy told everyone that she needed to be taught a lesson. Dawn Warren stood up for her.
Bella called her personally, told her thank you but she had to stand up for herself. This was her battle to be fought and won. And it wasn’t gonna be done with kindness. She tried that. It knocked her out for Into The Void, it knocked her out of being in the ring in PWS as well. It pissed her off. So FUCK IT....
She sat there with her friend Mattie Comier, watching the TV and as soon as it went to commercial, the fashion designer spoke up, “Ugh, she really does like listening to herself talk, doesn’t she?”
“En mas.” is all Bella got out before turning to smile at her friend, “What brings you by? I thought you’d be babysitting Alanah, with Jack on training duty.”
“I was, but her mother came by and I figured I’d give them time so I thought I’d stop by annnnnd hand you this...” Mattie holds out a rather large flat box.
“MATTIE! Oh my gawd, girl you have got to stop!” Bella takes it and sets it on the closest table, opening it up to see the black and white thigh high boots, along with the black leotard. Followed up by the multi-colored bright ass tops and shorts. “I have a pair of green neon thigh highs that would be AMAZING with this...”
“I couldn’t help myself! I just got inspired by a few things and next thing I knew....but I was thinking maybe with your grand return we can get that gorgeous ass in these and you show everyone that you aren’t so innocent after all.”
Bella holds up the black piece and hugs it, “Oh I love it. I feel bad though!”
Mattie just looks at her friend with confusion, “Why?”
“Because Alanah is blowing up like a balloon by the second and I’m about to be showing almost everything to the world!”
“I will handle her. But we gotta get you out of this funk.”
“I haven’t been in a funk...”
“Mal told me what you did to the closet.”
“Ok, maybe a small funk.” they laugh a bit, “I got a great idea...let’s do this and not tell Mal until they’re ready to be released.”
“You had me at ‘Not tell Mal’,” Mattie said with her eyebrows wiggling, “Course if I know that boy, he may bow at your feet.”
“Okay, let's not get out of hand, he’s my husband. I would rather not kill him with the constant blood flow to one location that is not his brain.” Bella says glancing over the thigh high boots....those alone will knock him on his ass.
“Oh please, that man finds you to be an absolute Goddess, trust me girl...he’s gonna end up on his ass seeing what I have in mind for this shoot.”
Back to Vegas
Vegas was back to 100%.
“So, before I forget. When we get back, we got a photoshoot planned for your sister.”
“Nothing like yours right?” Mal said raising his eyebrows.
“No, nothing like mine.” sticking out her tongue, “But Mattie and I got the details worked out. Figured to do it as soon as possible too before she doesn’t want to do much at all.”
“Good point.” Mal keeps looking over his shoulder, like they are being followed.
“Who are you looking for?”
“Well, considering one of the last times we were really here for a long period of time, that sperm donor that calls himself your father was lurking around....”
Bella grabs his arm and turns him around to look at her, “Okay, don’t worry about him. We haven’t heard from him since that whole incident. We’re fine, I’m fine and I’m ready to get back on the right path.”
He smiles at her, the one that is reserved only for her, “Alright, fine. I’m going to go grab us some waters before we head out into this heat.”
And with that he leaves her standing there for a moment. She glances over and begins to make her way down a hall that has columns lined up. She stops for a moment and turns and leans against it, looking at the way her husband went. “You are so completely and utterly pathetic. I know you are right there. I know you will not go away. Always watching me, always judging me...you’re gonna keep that shit up, aren’t you?”
No one responds and it just sends her into a fit of laughter, “You know what’s absolutely amazing? I should have been the one to be in that triple threat match for the Roulette Championship at Into The Void....I just missed it....I missed it because of HER. And Krystal Wolfe is now in that spot and bless her, as soon as this match was announced, she threw her focus right to me. That shit is awesome and rare. I appreciate it more than you know.”
“Ya know, I’m glad that this is non-title, I’m glad it’s just a regular match. I mean, I wouldn’t have minded a spin at that wheel but the idea of showing the pure RAW talent of wrestling....sometimes people forget that Roulette Champions can do that. Now, I’m not out to school ANYONE, I’m out to show exactly what I am capable of. Krystal obviously is very capable of anything. The problem is that I feel the need to exercise a demon that is sitting on my shoulder and nagging at me.”
“It’s cause of you that I have that demon, it’s cause of a lot of things that it grows even stronger. I choose no long to be a victim in these stupid games. SCW thinks that I’m gonna need to look over my shoulder? NO, if anything certain people need to start looking over theirs. I’m going to start turning a lot of heads and it starts this week. It’s gonna be interesting to see what happens, if I can get her to slip up. Because one small mistake...can cause you a lifetime of pain.”
“Isn’t that right, pops?” she says smirking behind her.
“Bells?” Mal’s voice calls out.
And with that Bella spots Mal and walks over to him, they head out as we see who was behind the pillar.
“...pops.”
