The Village Witch - Part 4 (Patreon)
Content
Marlon sat nervously at his desk, counting through the cash that Andrea had given him. It was his monthly allowance of $10,000 US dollars per month, and he knew that his family depended on it. He felt guilty for betraying Joseph to the old witch, but he also knew that he couldn't say no to the promise of endless wealth and protection.
Months had passed since Andrea had gotten her new body, and Marlon had seen the changes firsthand. Andrea had made lots of adjustments to her new body, and she now lived in the village, flaunting her sexy physique. The foreigners loved staring at her, and she loved the admiration and attention. Nobody else aside from her and Marlon knew that the body had been Joseph’s.
Of course, she would occasionally transform into Joseph’s male form in order to withdraw the necessary funds from his accounts. She only had to do that if the bank wanted to confirm her identity. On most occasions, she would simply enter Joseph’s online account since she had absorbed all of his memories. She knew his pins and secret answers.
Marlon had mixed feelings about Andrea's new life. He felt guilty for what he had done to Joseph. Joseph was an extremely good customer, and he couldn't shake the feeling of shame that weighed heavily on his conscience. Sadly, gaining the American’s trust was extremely important on Marlon’s part, especially since suspicion or fear would weaken Andrea’s possession magic. “It’s not like I really want this,” Marlon whispered to nothing. “If there was another way to get your money, I would’ve done it.”
As he put the money into his safe, Marlon closed his eyes and said a silent prayer for forgiveness. He knew that what he had done was wrong, but he also knew that he couldn't go back and change things. All he could do now was try to make things right and move forward.
Marlon knew that he had to be careful in the future too. He couldn't let himself be caught with his guilt around Andrea. The witch could read minds, and he needed to play things slowly. As he locked the safe and stood up from his desk, Marlon took a deep breath and reminded himself that he was only human. He had made a mistake, but he could learn from it and be a better person because of it. He walked out of the room, determined to try giving back to the community after helping somebody so evil.
