Hue grimaced in bed. "Why would you say that? You're the one who played dirty last night." Then, he pulled a long face at her, sulking. He grabbed a pillow and covered his face with it.Jennet inhaled deeply. "Well, my dear, you're on a meaningless duel with Luca. Although I've told you to prove your worth before, I never meant for you to lower your dignity in front of another man. I thought you understood what I wanted but, you never understood," she said while looking away.Then, she heaved another deep sigh because she got a husband who never used his brain when talking. He would become a hassle in her family soon.Hue pouted and replied, "It's about the pride of men. It's an honour if we could duel for the woman we love." He still wanted to defend his beliefs.Jennet sighed even harder as she shook her head. "I didn't mean to belittle your honour, but, for me it's one-sided. From my point of view, it is meaningless because I love you and the w
Then, he spoke with the same snickery in his voice, "Oh well, she is so good in bed. Also, I don't think she could be compared with any woman you've slept with before."Jennet, who sat beside him, blushed deeply. It was embarrassing to listen to everything he said. Suddenly, she landed a hard karate chop on his waist.The poor man shrieked in pain before the phone, and Luca could hear it. Then, the call was immediately disconnected.Luca frowned in confusion as he held the phone in his hand. He dialled Jennet's number again, but the call ceased to be connected. Then, he shrugged. "Oh well, maybe they are busy wrestling one another over there. I better not interfere with their private life. Jennet dislikes it if I poke my nose in her affairs." After that, he turned to the side and tossed the phone under the pillows. He felt restless so suddenly. Then, he turned his back on the bed, staring at the ceiling. A deep frown formed between his
Hue smiled and then, he sat down comfortably on the sofa with his long leg stretched out and perched on the glass table in front of him. A sinister smile decorated his face when he opened his mouth widely.Little Veen took two grapes and fed him again. Shortly after that, he shoved more grapes into his master's mouth before his master managed to swallow the fruit.Hue grunted and mumbled something, but his mouth was full and his voice was muffled, and he couldn't give out any command.Little Veen looked at him, displaying an innocent face. "Yes, master? More grapes?" he asked despite knowing what his master was about to say. He took two more grapes and forced them inside his master's full mouth.Hue slapped his hands away from his face and then distanced himself from the boy. He managed to swallow the munched fruits in his mouth, and that was with so much difficulty."You intentionally did that right?!" Hue roared as soon as he swallowed
But, shortly after that, Hue tore his face away and licked his lips. A deep frown appeared on his forehead. "Hmm, I tasted traces of watermelon in your mouth. Fresh watermelon," he said. Then, he kissed her again and his tongue invaded every corner of her mouth to taste the evidence again. "Where have you been after work today?" he asked after he pulled away. Based on the freshness of the fruit's traces in her mouth, he surmised that she had gone somewhere.Jennet blushed when she sat beside him. She rolled her tongue behind her teeth, but there was nowhere she could taste the remnants of the watermelon juice that she had at the bar about an hour ago. Plus, she had washed her mouth before coming home.She was speechless by his keen and accurate guess, and she thought that lying would be of no help at all. "I went to a bar in the city to meet a friend, but, I wasn't alone. Do you remember my female coworker, Marvina? You met her at the police station before. She was with me when I w
"Are you telling me the truth?" Jennet narrowed her eyes, unconvinced by his response."Yes, I'm telling the truth." Hue nodded his head. He wouldn't want to stop the fun mid-way now.Jennet bit her lip, contemplating. About a minute later, she finally spoke in a whisper, "Fine but, don't complain to me later after we are done here." It was a stern warning and a reminder.Hue smiled. "I won't," he replied and received her lips that came at him. His fingers ran wild in her hair as he deepened the kiss.The two of them spent their night passionately and with no restrictions. All that drove them was pure love and desires for one another.After their love ritual ended, they sat on the bed, cuddled in each other's embrace beneath the thick blanket that mantled their naked bodies. Their gazes were directed out towards the balcony, enjoying the solemnly beautiful night sky that was illuminated by the moon's pale white light.Jennet leaned her back on Hue's chest as she played with his finge
She turned to look at him with a wide smile. "This is amazing, honey! You managed to get every detail about the place where Belle had travelled to!" Royce smiled proudly. "I did, and I've obtained information about the addresses of each place she visited in this country. Also, from all the addresses, this one might hold a clue to our search." He pointed to a home address on the paper and then, he showed her the documentation of a villa as well."This villa was previously owned by a person with the name Hue Hedo and, about four months ago, the name of ownership changed to, guess who, a person by the name Jennet Lockhart." He smiled at her. "And this Jennet Lockhart is the person that we are after because this person had been in contact with the owner of this villa from five years ago. So, it means, it matches the possibility that this Jennet Lockhart may be the one that we're looking for after all."Elaine's smile had gotten wider. She had not expected her husband had kept his mouth
Danny stood before the fainting woman, and sadness drenched his face when he had to knock her out cold. Shortly after that, he carried her body inside and laid her on the bed. Then, he took her thumbprint on each form before he kept the form in his pocket.The man spent an hour cleaning her body and dressed her nicely into her nightgown. He also disposed of the band-aids around her slender fingers as her skin turned pale. Then, he left her room only after making sure that she was no longer in any possible danger. The next day, Mira woke up with a very sore neck, and she had forgotten that Danny had visited her last night.After freshening up, she was ready to leave for work when four men in black suits kidnapped her in a limousine and took her away.She was taken to a large and luxurious house, unlike any other house that she had seen before. Then, she was escorted to the garden where a couple was waiting at a gazebo. Two maids were standing, with their backs straight, beside the c
Danny turned his gaze towards his mother and answered, "I have been busy, moving her stuff from the apartment to my penthouse."Mira, who listened, got flabbergasted. Moving her stuff into his penthouse? Danny had a penthouse?!Mira eyed the chatty man as she forced a smile.Ah, she must still be dreaming because Danny Stanford never owns a penthouse!During their relationship, Mira had always known that Danny only had a small house that was much smaller than her apartment room. He also dressed humbly all the time although he was a womanizer who always hook up with any beautiful or interesting women that he could find. He had never found his small house to be an issue for him to have fun."Baby, are you okay?" Danny asked as he suddenly caressed Mira's flat stomach. "Have you eaten for our child inside here?" He added.Suddenly, Mira broke into a loud laugh. She had lost herself to the stress that she couldn't process with her head. Everything started to fall apart on their last ni
"I am Jennet Lockhart!" claimed the silver-haired woman. Delton furrowed his brows. He had no idea a foreign woman had the gall to make such a claim. He had just returned from the palace and heard of something bizarre from the emperor who was reluctant to divulge the truth. His mood deteriorated after the meeting."Can you prove your claim?" he asked coldly."My ring!" she said loudly. "Hue gave me a ring as proof!"Delton glanced at her finger. There was no ring."I'm sorry, but I don't think you can play around with such a claim," he said. "Lying will add more bad deeds into your account.""I'm not lying," she slapped the bed. "I am Jennet Lockhart. Get my husband here to verify this claim!"Delton exhaled. "I'm sorry but it's improper to call upon him to verify your claim. Have you looked at yourself in the mirror?"How could she claim she was Jennet Lockhart when her appearance differed greatly from hers? This woman must be desperate to get away from her punishment.The woman we
'Apologies for not helping much...' added the spirit.Delton sighed. "Never mind."He turned around and gestured at the reapers to leave the place....After visiting the nursery, Jennet asked to go out for a date.Hue smiled. "I love that idea. Where do you want to go? The gardens?"He was about to get bored and she proposed such an amazing idea to kill time. He was grateful that they clicked.Jennet smiled. "Is that a great place for a meaningful date? We have not gone on a proper date before. I want it to be a proper full-day date!"Hue responded after pondering, "I guess going to the garden is great. Unless you have a place in mind.""I do have one in mind," she said. She gave him a side glance and then smiled widely, "Can we go to the market again? Just the two of us."Hue's face dropped. "The market? Again?" Disappointment was clear in his voice.Jennet leaned closer. "Please, honey. This one time, please..."Hue scratched the back of his ear, contemplating. "Uh, can we go to a
Many hours ago...After spending some time gazing at Hue's sleeping face, Jennet went to the kitchen for a drink. As she quenched her thirst, a gust of wind blew hard, knocking on the back door to the yard.She glanced as she placed the glass on the counter."That's a strong wind..." she murmured and approached to close the ajar door.'West gate...'She froze. She furtively eyed the vicinity. Her heart skipped a beat and goosebumps crawled her skin.Although terrified, she stepped out slightly and looked around; just to ease her feeling.The backyard was mantled in darkness with the twin moon hiding behind thick black clouds.Thud, thud, thud, thud...Jennet flinched and looked up. The sound of footsteps came from upstairs and, strangely, she felt it wasn't her family members.She hurried inside, locked the door, and rushed upstairs. But, the hallway was empty. However, the door to their bedroom was slightly ajar with the lights dimly lit.Jennet furrowed. 'I remember switching on all
Hue and Jennet were downstairs when they heard loud bangs coming from upstairs.“What is that?” Jennet glanced in alarmed, half-jumping from her seat. Hue rose from his chair and assured her to sit comfortably. “I’ll go and check,” he said.“Be careful, honey.” Jennet sat down, hoping nothing bad would happen.Hue went upstairs and realised the loud bangs had come from their bedroom. He grabbed a hanger from the laundry basket near the stairs. In his grasp, the hanger morphed into a sabre.“Gomi?” he called.‘Yes, master?’ replied a voice in his head.‘Do you sense something off?’‘Apart from the spirit is ill, nothing else.’Then, Gomi’s presence vanished from his mind. Hue didn’t think much of it because he was sure Gomi and the rest of their familiars were unhappy after the twins placed them under restrained orders. In Fantasy Realm, restraining orders were considered a major distrust of the master towards the familiars. But, if the familiars were innocent, they could refuse to s
Hue woke up when something buttery and toasty hit his nose. He unfurled his eyes and saw the Smell Folk dancing in mid-air. Their dance was very graceful and beautiful, unlike usual. It seemed as if they were celebrating something that was long forgotten.He sat on the sofa and tied his long hair into a low ponytail. Yawning, he placed the bolster on the sofa bed and approached the kitchen.Standing at the entrance, he eyed his wife, whose back faced him. She was donned in the pink apron he uses when working in the kitchen. She was placing sunny-side-up eggs on a plate."Honey, I thought I would be making breakfast today," he said.Jennet turned around and smiled brightly. "I was up too early today. So, I thought of making breakfast for us since you always made it.""Why didn't you just wake me up?" he asked."You were sound asleep, and I don't want to rouse you from your peaceful sleep."Hue scratched his head and covered his mouth to yawn. "Is this your roundabout way of asking forgi
The turtle inhaled deeply. He broke into a smile. "Yes, of course, because some of the stuff I sell needs the good deed.""Oh..." Jennet nodded her head. She was confused but she had nothing to ask because she had no idea what to ask. The more she delves into the sensitive case, the more she gets confused about everything around them.After the conversation, Jennet and the twins took their time to see all of the stuff on display. The vast majority of the items were human's everyday stuff and were broken. For example, the quills without nibs, shoes without soles, cups without handles, bows without strings and the list just went on.Jennet came across a hilt, the only one among thousands of items on display. She felt a strange sense of Deja Vu as if she had seen it before."That one is notorious and dangerously powerful, but had a sad story..." The turtle gave an intro.Jennet glanced and asked, "What happened to it?" She was interested.The turtle inhaled deeply. "He was once a powerf
Jennet rolled her eyes at them. "Arro, that is not nice. Please don't blatantly harm others.""But, he disrespected you. I can't let that slide."Jennet knocked his head gently and said, "Young man, you can't do that. It was my fault he got mad. I nearly stepped on him due to my carelessness. It's understandable why he talked harshly with me.""But-""That is enough. Let us continue shopping." She stopped him before he could speak his mind. If she said nothing, he would take revenge on her behalf.Arro hesitantly responded, "...Alright."Then, the twins walked ahead of her as she followed them from behind. She heard them talking, enthusiastically, about the festival that was going at full throttle.Jennet smiled and enjoyed herself looking around the place. Suddenly, someone brushed past her and something pricked her arm."Oww!" She gasped in pain. She looked down and noticed blood bleeding through the fabric on her left arm. Grimacing, she pressed her palm onto the cut to stop the b
"Can we go to the market again?" Hue paused, reeled his hand and turned on his heels. His brows knitted at what he heard from his wife. They were in the room, making the bed. "Why? Have you forgotten that you fell ill after our first visit?" He tried to pound some sense into her head. He hoped she would cancel her plans. Jennet clasped her hands to her chest and begged, "Honey, I just want to go shopping!" Hue raised an eyebrow. "Shopping?" It was a wonder how loosely humans think about their safety. Humans love to break the rules and never learn their lesson until it is too late. Jennet nodded. "I want to bring some gifts for my family." Hue exhaled and then sighed. "Honey, I don't think that is a great idea." "Why?" "Well, in my opinion, it's best to buy the gifts in the human realm. Get something that is more of a human thing because everything here is not normal to humans." "Then, how are we going to explain about our kids to my family?" She dropped the bomb a
Hue smiled as he crawled out of bed and stood before her. He took off the hair band that tied his long mane and it flowed free, dispensing a pleasant scent."Keep your eyes on me..." he said with a smirk."I am keeping my eyes on you," answered Jennet brazenly.Hue, locking his gaze on his wife, popped open the buttons on his shirt from top to bottom. His movement was neither slow nor fast. Then, his flawless skin came into sight. His sexy abs and sturdy pecs glistened under the light from every corner.Meanwhile, Jennet said nothing, but she gulped silently. His abs that she had not touched for weeks were within her reach. She was itching to run her fingers all over the perfect specimen! Hue tossed his shirt away but halted from taking off his trousers as he gave her an alluring gaze."You like to see me getting naked, right?""What do you mean?"Hue tilted his head to the side. "Well, I see you're drooling an
