Hue leaned forward and smiled. “I assure you, good sir, I have never been to Country N.”

Jennet, who befriended silence earlier, felt a little annoyed by the secrecy between the two men. She clapped her hands, severing the intense gaze between the men.

“I apologize for interrupting, but are you done staring at each other?” She smiled, hiding her anger. “We’re here to clear some misunderstanding.”

Hue immediately apologized to her, “My love, I’m sorry for ignoring you when I should be paying attention to you.” Then, he gently bumped his shoulder against her shoulder.

Luca, too, apologized and explained that he was reminded of someone when he saw Hue.

The explanation made Jennet feel, somehow, perplexed. She stole a few glances at her husband when wariness and doubt accumulated in her heart.

‘His look reminds Luca of someone else? What does that mean? Did Hue hide something from me?’ Jennet thought hard.

She felt restles

    Hue broke into a smile. Someone observant had come, he thought. Well, he was impressed that Luca was not a human that could not be fooled by mere words.“I don’t know if you would believe me, but I have been her fiancé for a very long time before we finally tie the knot. The excitement is there, you see,” he explained without flaws.Yes, he had known Jennet for years, much and much longer than a human’s life span. He had married her in all of her life cycles and in this life, he manage to marry her again and finally consummated their marriage while he was still in confinement. But, there was nowhere on Earth that Luca will find out about this truth.Luca smiled and nodded to acknowledge the explanation. “Hmm, that does explain why she has been very cold towards men.” Then, he stared at Hue. “But, I am concerned if she marries a real man instead of a drag. She talked about you passionately as if you enjoyed getting dressed in one.”Hue got annoyed

    Felix dismissed the thought and entered the café. He saw Luca sitting alone with a blank look on his face. Then, he pulled a chair and sat down opposite him.“Are you okay?” he asked.Luca nodded his head without uttering a word. His expression only got even sadder. He looked like a man who had been abandoned by his wife.Felix inhaled deeply. “Cheer up. You can find a much better and worthy person out there.”However, Luca didn’t answer him. He rose from the chair and spoke, “Let’s go.”Felix inhaled again before he followed Luca out of the café and entered the car that he parked outside. He drove the car away and along the road, the dark clouds of gloom filled the vehicle. Luca was looking out of the window, losing his thought in the cloud.“Do you wish to go somewhere?” Felix asked, breaking the suffocating silence inside the car.“Let’s just go home for now,” Luca answered. He was not in any mood to go anywhere. He only wants to rearrange his plans since he managed to get Hue to

    Jennet jumped and screamed in surprise when he was standing beside her. Her screams echoed throughout the area, startling flocks of birds near their villa.Hue scooped her up in his arms, ignoring her struggles to flee him. Then, he carried her back to the pool where he jumped in together with her. Her screams disappeared when they submerged under the water.Jennet appeared on the surface of the wavy waters, gasping heavily. Her nose and throat was stung by spiciness because water entered the wrong pipe.She coughed out water as she swam to shore, paddling every limb to get away from the monstrous husband, that had resurfaced, and swam behind her like an alligator on the hunt.“Stay away from me!” She screamed at him when she tried to climb out of the pool. But, her short limbs were not of much help and she kept falling back into the water. Hue grabbed her waist and hoisted her body over his shoulder. He got out of the pool with ease and then entered the bathroom with her. Inside th

    Hue stood before her, speechless. He had no idea how to react because he had never anticipated that she would want to do the same. He had always thought that she would never want to since she would always retaliate roughly when he tried to.Jennet stormed at him and pushed him against the wall again. “I have always wanted to spoil you!”With that said, she tugged on his neck and savoured his lips.…Ferland Country, a different time zone.Rosey and Belle were exchanging glances among one another because sitting before them were Elaine Lockhart.“Please, I am begging you. Please let me know where my sister is. We have been looking for her,” Elaine begged them. “I have tried to contact her but, it seems the number is no longer active.”“We do not know anything about her,” Rosey replied calmly.Belle nodded. “Yes, we have no idea where she is.”Rosey inhaled deeply and added, “You see, Elaine, we also have lost

    “Hahaha, Avina, you’re so hardworking! Keep it up!” Belle laughed out loud.Avina clicked her tongue. “Tch, don’t laugh. I’m doing my best to win the bet because I’m going to beat your point!” She pointed at Belle’s belly. Since they agreed to the bet, she had been working hard to conceive. Although it wasn’t in her plan yet, her husband was happy that she brought up the subject and since then, he had been ‘working’ tirelessly to help her conceive his child.Belle chuckled. “I have no idea you and your husband are quite intense despite being, well, very quiet in personality. But, bravo to you both. I salute you for your hardworking attitude, Avina.” She patted her shoulder and raised a thumb.Shireen clapped her hands, stopping Belle's amusement. “Alright, ladies, let us get to the serious conversation now.” She glanced toward Rosey and Belle. “So, tell us the reason for this meeting.”Rosey and Belle exchanged glances between

    The frown on Jennet’s face ceased to disappear. She couldn’t process the truth properly just yet. “But, how can you be so sure this mark means I am pregnant? We have been using…” she paused when something knocked on her.The woman, after that, tsked and sighed softly, and slapped her head, lamenting the mistake she had just realized too late.Ah, she had just come to realise that not once had she seen Hue putting on contraceptives when they were doing the deed. She wondered where had those boxes of contraceptives go when they left Bougainvilla Hotels about weeks ago. The funny thing was, that she seemed to have memory malfunctions whenever she tried to recall where she had placed them.“Using what, honey?” Hue asked, looking at her with his innocent eyes as if he did no wrong at all.Jennet eyed him suspiciously. His overly innocent smile seemed ungenuine. She raised an eyebrow at him. “Did you hide something from me?” “I didn’

    “Dana, are you alright?” Hue asked when he saw her sighing non-stop as she did his make-up. “You can take a rest if you need it,” he added and smiled. He could hear her mind as loud as a speaker. She kept calling for Luca Tybelg!Dana shook her head. “Don’t mind me. I hope you could keep making Mr Tybelg happy,” she said.Ah, she had to accept the reality that her crush had a different preference about the choice of his life partner. Why would the world be so cruel towards a single make-up artist like her? She took the job because she was crushing on Luca who happened to be her former classmate years ago.Life was so unfair!Hue stared at the bespectacled woman, who wallowed sadly within herself. He could hear her thoughts as clear as day. She was in love with Luca, but she was hardly noticed by the busy man.“Hey, do you like Luca?” Hue whispered after making sure no one eavesdrops on their conversation.Dana

    Hue stood before her, lost for words. He could feel intense anger seeping out of her body and it was overwhelming. Also, he had not expected to see the yanking or the ranting coming at him like a tsunami. It took him a while to assess the situation before he thought of the consequences that could get pretty ugly if he chose to be ignorant of her feelings.Perplexed, he sniffed his shirt. There was indeed a foreign smell on the fabric. But, it was only a perfume that Dana sprayed on him, to hide his scent because she said that she didn't want to get distracted by his scent while she worked around him. Jennet, on the other hand, got even angrier when his silence fuelled her anger, and she, then, jumped into having wild assumptions about him.Well, who wouldn't get mad when in the past few days, he acted suspicious and today, he wasn't home for an entire day!"Where have you been all day long?" She questioned him. Her tone was cold and intimidating. She sounded like a warden, who caugh

    "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
