Chapter 9.9

Edmond's POV

' Please sir, to avoid anymore inconveniences, I advice you get a soundproofed door... You know what I mean...' She says and quickly leaves the office.

Mmm Jessa? so I can see she has already gotten over the nervousness she was feeling when she entered my office earlier in the morning?

 She is the sassy type huh?

And she also heard all that went on between me and Marylin this morning eh?

She definitely heard it but the question is how? How was she able to hear?

'Shit! does this mean she already?' I begin to question myself.

No,no is too early for that' I answer my own self questioning.

'But if my guess is right, then it means I have to act as quick as humanly possible.'

Unknown POV

'Ugh... yes girl.. suck it good... Show me what you've got...'

'Why can't I get this fucking thing out of my memories?' Jessa groans frustratingly at her failure to forget what she heard back at Edmond's office.

She has been recalling it ever since she left the building and now, she is on her bed still thinking about it.

She has even tried to sleep but she just can't push the thoughts out her mind.

She would have thought a great force is making the memories stuck so deep in her memories like a glue to a paper but hey, Jessa is never a person to believe in such supernatural things so she immediately dismisses it.

She has been reading a lot of fantasy books, as well as supernatural books but she thinks they are all a creation of people.

 She believes that the characters, events and happenings are all some mere imagination of some dreamy people.

The only supernatural beings she believes in though is God and heavenly angels(I do not really know if we have anything like heavenly angels . It is just my own believe and creation. ..)

Keyword here, heavenly, she does not really believe in dark angels or whatever the world and most religious groups call them.

'Hey there.’ Thea says as she enters Jessa's room.

'Hey' Jessa responds, changing from her lying position to sit on the bed.

'Sorry that I could not talk to you when you returned. I was so busy with dinner. ...' Thea starts to explain to which Jessa just brushes off.

'Do not worry I understand' Jessa tells her, whiles smiling reassuringly at her to show that she is indeed not mad at her or anything.

'So, how was the interview?" Thea asks her bubbly, suddenly switching to her gossip mode.

Immediately Jessa hears the question, a blush manages to make itself known on her cheek but she immediately responds so as to avoid Thea from seeing it.

'It was okay. He actually acted professional, just as I had requested' Jessa tells Thea.

'So were you employed?' Thea ask Jessa, wanting to know if she secured the job.

'Yes' Jessa says, smiling at Thea.

'That is good. Also, the cafe you suggested has been bought and is under preparation. It will not take long for it to be completed' Thea tells Jessa.

'I have also decided to work with the two old ladies since I have to look after another human inside me now and Brian does not want me working and stressing myself' Thea continues as a wide smile breaks on her face.

Jessa on the other hand stares at Thea’s face confused, not understanding the actual meaning of what she said yet.

But after a minute or two, she squeals as the meaning of the words begins to register in her head.

' Are you telling me that I will be an auntie in a few months to come?' she asks happily, staring at Thea expectantly, waiting for her to just say yes.

Thea just nods her head yes, confirming that indeed she is pregnant.

This leads to Thea being crushed in a very happy and tight hug.

'Sorry' Jessa apologize with a smile still on her face when she realize she is hugging Thea too tight but the latter just waves her off with a smile.

'Baby girl can you hear auntie? OMG! Thea she kicked' Jessa exclaims happily, almost on the verge of jumping.

'Like seriously ? Jessa? It is just three weeks old and you are telling me she has kicked?' Thea ask Jessa, an amused expression on her face.

'I do not care whether she is three weeks or whatever. All I know is she can hear me and she kicked' Jessa says stubbornly, her smile never leaving her face.

'Haha..okay, if you say so Jessa’ Thea says with a chuckle.

For the rest of the afternoon, Jessa just keeps on saying the baby has kicked and of course, she says it is a girl and keeps on rambling about how she will spoil her with goods and everything she wants until Jennifer comes in to tell them dinner was ready.

'Grandma I am really sorry that I have not been able to talk to you for sometime now. I hope you understand?' Jessa says loving and apologetically to her grandma.

'Do not worry sweetie. I know you have been quite busy.’ Mariam tells her granddaughter.

The rest of the dinner goes on with them having light chatters here and there.

Brian also arrives just some minutes before dinner so they all have the dinner just like one big family.

Bernard and Benerdicta have already gone to their own mansion. 

New maids have already been employed to serve and take care of the house since Jennifer will now be working with Dorothy and Thea in the coffee house once it is completed. 

Late midnight in Jessa's room .

Jessa's POV

  

'Aaaah.... No, no please don't' I scream loudly at the unwelcome guest in-front of me.

'Why are you resisting?' he says, taking an erect pinkie in his mouth and twirling his tongue around it and at the same time pinching the other one.

He does it ever so gently as if he is managing a breakable object. 

He almost makes me want to succumb to his ministrations but no! I am not letting my guard down, I am not going to let him win this fight.

 With this thought in mind, I gather all the strength I possess and push him real hard which makes him stumble back a bit.

I do not even know this fucked up man who has made his way into my dream uninvited to cause trouble.

I scream loudly as he tries to come at me once again.

For once, I am so thankful to the former owner of this mansion for making all the doors soundproofed or else, my grandma and the couple whose room is just opposite mine would have been bothered by all the chaos this unwelcome stranger is trying to cause.

When he hears my scream, he covers my mouth with his very big hand.

'I wish I could take you right now, right this moment but this is not the right time' he whispers, his voice husky in my ears which sends shivers down my spine.

How I wish I am able to see his face but he is doing a really great job in hiding it from me.

He continues to press on my mouth, trying all his best to muffle my screams.

I want to tell him to stop covering my mouth, that the doors are soundproofed but I am not going to do that.

 Telling him will make things too easy for him.

'Sit' he commands and immediately, I find myself in a sitting position.

It seems I have no control over my body at the moment.

‘I want you to be quite and listen to everything I am going to say and note, everything I say, do not take it as just a mere man talking in your dreams, It will do you good to take it serious dear. I am your redemption, I am your saving grace, I promise you that we shall have a proper encounter very soon.

 Make sure to not forget this encounter dear.’ He says and I can guess he is having a stupid smile on his lips.

Remember, we shall meet sooner than later honey.

'Bye!' he says as my eyes instantly flare open.

I sit on my bed, panting so heavily.

'It was all a dream?' I ask myself, finally a bit relieved.

'But it felt so damn real' I think to myself and check my body but there is not even a single change.

Even though I know it is a dream and it is already over, his words keeps on playing in my head, all the events of the dream too keeps on showing vividly in-front of my eyes.

Most people who believe in supernatural things will probably think this is the work of an incubus or some evil spirit of some sort but for me, that is something just ridiculous.

I continue to tell myself it is nothing as a cool breeze caresses my skin which immediately lulls me back to bed.

Author’s note;

Is this getting interesting?

Whom do you think the man in the dream is?
