It was such a nice view to be waking up in an open space, surrounded by falling leaves from the trees and the light blue sky greeting the eyes that gazed upon them.

That was what Jennet experienced at the moment. She woke up in the middle of nowhere in a forest. The breeze blew continuously, blowing her long hair in the air.

She propelled herself to sit down and looked around in a daze. Her brows knitted in confusion. Her mind was literally in a mess because she had no idea where she was at.

‘Where am I?’ She thought. She looked at her body and, luckily, she was still in her pyjamas. Nothing appeared to be out of the ordinary too. There were no extra hands, feet or heads.

When she was about to stand up, green vines appeared from the ground and coiled around her body tightly. It was gripping her body firmly and, it was trying to pull her to the ground, to swallow her.

“Help!” She screamed. She clawed the short grass in desperation for support b

    “If you keep talking nonsense, you will sleep on the floor after getting to taste the wrath of my fist!” She growled fiercely. Hue whimpered and closed his eyes. To taste the wrath of her fists are the last thing he wanted in his life. Jennet put a distance between them before closing her eyes again. She felt uneasy to sleep together with this grown-up baby. His words from just now scared her. She would never get involved in an intimate relationship with him because they are not married to each other. She treated him nicely because she wanted to take advantage of his skills in cooking and cleaning. Have a baby with him? In his dream! Throughout the night, she stayed alert in bed. She could not fall asleep. A single movement from him had her awoke and, she was ready to karate chop him. However, as it was near dawn, exhaustion defeated her and, she drifted into a deep sleep.

    “Oh, yes, really,” Jennet answered. “I have this feeling called annoyance towards you and nothing more than that.” She added indifferently.Hue became furious because, from her answers, he knew she was toying around with his feeling. Little Veen and her were the same because they love to make him feel miserable in a split second after showering him with happiness.The handsome man’s face soured as he shut his mouth and sat quietly until his hair got dried. When Jennet handed him the clothes that she found in the cupboard, he only glared at her. But, he still took them from her hands.“Do I not have any underwear?” He asked grumpily after looking through the clothes.Jennet snorted, finding his words funny, “You go commando under those clothes,” she replied.“That will be uncomfortable. I feel naked without it.” Hue

    After having breakfast together for the second time ever since their first encounter, they left the villa together.Hue was so excited. He was unable to hide his silly smiley face from her. He kept looking back at the villa that was getting farther behind them.Yes, he was finally out of the barrier that entrapped him for years!“Honey, I am so excited!” He exclaimed joyfully beside her. He looked out the window, smiling happily.Jennet glanced at him and chuckled, “What are you excited for?” She asked. “We are only going shopping for your clothes.” She said. Somehow, when she saw his happy face, she felt happy too.“To tell you the truth, I have never stepped out of the villa before.” He looked out of the window and added, “So many things had changed since the last time I monitored them.”Jennet gla

    Jennet turned to the attendant, “I need shoes for him as well.” Hue was still in his furry slippers and, it was an odd spectacle. She does not want him to be a laughing stock although, she is to be blamed for it.As she waited for the attendant to return, she looked about and noticed that the store was half-flocked by women. Their presence outnumbered the men in the store and, she felt unhappy about the situation.While she mulled alone outside the fitting room, she prayed for their shopping to go as smooth as she hoped for. Only God knew how much she wished to drag Hue home and keep him away from everyone, especially women that looked at him with a lustful gaze. At the same time, she wished that no one would faint when they laid their eyes on him.A few minutes later, Hue stepped out of the fitting room looking dashingly awesome in the long sleeves knitted shirt and grey-long pants. His otherworldly sexiness oozed out of him and, those who saw him f

    “I apologize but, he is my husband,” Jennet corrected while smiling. Oh well, he is my husband in eyes public now, she grumbled inwardly. She had no intention to lie but, she could not stop it now. “We appreciate your kindness but, we will not be taking it for free. Please get the payment from my card or, we will leave without taking anything.” Jennet spoke in a calm but stern tone. The sexy woman smiled, “Very well.” She glanced towards Hue that caught her attention since she came. “I hope you will accept our gratitude because your appearance brought happiness to our staff. They had never seen a man as handsome as you before,” she winked at him. Hue stretched an awkward smile as he grabbed Jennet’s hand tightly. He was hiding behind his short wife. He got spooked when she winked and, he felt something was strange about her. “Well, since you insist, we will accept your kindness. However, it won’t be for free but at a discount.” Jennet said confidentl

    Inside the car, Jennet held the steering wheel tightly. Her heart burned with rage. “It was rude. I tell you it was rude,” she voiced out her dissatisfaction. “I have never done something like that in my life!” A deep grunt cracked from the depth of her throat. “Humph!” Hue grunted in his seat. He faced the window with a smug and pouty face, ignoring her. “Do not make that sound with me!” She snapped at him. “Honking when people are having a conversation is very rude and, for goodness’ sake, she is someone elderly who we must respect. Why can’t you approach us and ask to leave politely? Did you not know anything about being polite?!” He faced her and said proudly, “Yes, I know nothing about that!” Then, he looked away as pouty as ever. Why would he care for such things? He lived longer than humans and, he had the authority to act as however, he wanted. Jennet seethed in her seat. She stopped the car by the roadside. His childish and

    Jennet froze. A request like that never crossed her mind. It was rather childish of him to make a bold request like that. “You are being unreasonable,” she said with a stiff face. Her guard rose steadily. “It is reasonable,” Hue replied solemnly, “because there is nothing wrong with my reasoning.” He grinned. Jennet clenched her jaws. She surmised he was the embodiment of pure evil and, there was nowhere she could feel happy about it when she knew he had orchestrated a sneaky scheme to trap her. “I just met you and, I am not going to kiss you,” she said after summoning her courage to speak up. Hue tsked and waved his finger, “Uh-uh, you are wrong there, honey. In my calculation that is including today, we have been together for five days,” he raised his brows while grinning, “I was there from the first night.” “What?” Jennet croaked in shock. “Yup. You heard me right.” Man, he was so proud to finally reveal that he was with h

    Inside the supermarket, Jennet was not paying attention to her shopping. She took whatever she saw. Her mind was occupied by a lot of things. She had no idea that she attracted quite a lot of stares from other shoppers when she mumbled, ‘I’m dead, I’m dead’ while pushing the shopping cart. She came to reality when the cashier waved his hand before her face and called out to her.“Excuse me, miss, are you paying by cash or by card?” The cashier's concerned expression greeted her view.Jennet broke into a smile, “Ah, I’m sorry. I’m paying by card.” She shoved her card to him while hiding her embarrassment for zoning out for too long.After paying for the grocery, she hurried to the door. However, she retreated to the cashier again.“Do you sell pepper sprays?” She asked with hopeful eyes.When the cashier shook with an apologetic smile, she felt more depressed than ever but, she

    "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
