Ghost of My Heart - Chapter 54

Jennet eyes widen over the huge misunderstanding that her friend thought of. What the heck had gotten into her?

“Goodness Marvina! I am not like what you heard at the company. I have never done that in my whole life!” She said, desperate to clear her misunderstanding.

Marvina frowned at the end of the line. “Then, why is there a man answering your phone and you’re also not coming to work. He said you sprained your back. Is that true?”

Something is fishy about her injury. For a healthy person like her, getting a sprained back is something she should watch out for.

Jennet looked up to the ceiling, thinking. ‘Did Hue actually say that to Marvina? Is that even a logical explanation?’

But, her hips were really killing her at the moment.

Slightly coughing in embarrassment, Jennet replied calmly, “Yes, I sprained my back. I accidentally twisted my back while ‘working’ at home.”

Her face had gone redder as she said her replies while at the same time, giving Marvina a general answer that didn’t clarify clearly over the cause of her ‘injury’.

“I forgot to inform our superior because I couldn’t get out of the bed,” she added, “and he has been attending to all that I need at the moment.”

Yup, she couldn’t get up from the bed and actually overslept because of exhaustion from ‘overworking’ on the bed last night.

Marvina inhaled a deep breath and cried in relief. “Ohh, that’s a relief then. No worries about work, Susan knows it. Also, I’ve handed in the name list to Jerome this morning because you’re absent.”

“Thanks, Marvina. You’re a lifesaver.” Jennet thanked her in delight.

Shortly after that, Marvina asked another question, “By the way, who is he? He said his name is Hue Hedo and he said he is your husband. Is that true or is he a naughty person who likes to play jokes?”

Jennet was in silence for a while. She bit her own lips and was hesitating over what she should say at the moment.

Jennet inhaled a deep breath, “Marvina, there is something that I need to tell you but I need to meet you.”

“Umm, okay. Well, I’m still working and only be available after five pm today. Tell me your address, I’ll come with my boyfriend.” She said.

“No, it’s private and I just need to talk to you. I’ll come to your place.”

“But, can you walk? How about your backache?”

“I can manage it. It’s not too painful now. I’ll go to your place later.”

“Not my place. Let’s go to the new cafe in town. I’ll text the address to you. Meet you there at seven pm.”

“Okay, thank you.” Then, the call was ended.

Jennet inhaled a very deep breath as she placed the phone on the bedside table. She looked around and saw the red stains on the bedsheets.

Her face turned bright red as she cupped her face and shook her head in denial. “Goodness, what have I done to myself?” She cried.

She had, in all possible way, to keep her purity until she entered her wedding night with her lawfully wedded husband but, she couldn’t do it and had lost it, taken by a man claiming himself as her husband.

Well, it is of no use to cry over something that had happened. She couldn’t take back what she had lost. She had to stay strong and to strive for the better in her life. Regretting it over and over again will only stop her from achieving what she aims for in her life.

Ignoring all the pain she had on the body, she stepped out of the bed and pulled on the stained bedsheets before she forced herself to walk into the bathroom with a steaming red face.

Also at the same time, in the kitchen, Hue has been in a relatively good mood. His face sparkled brightly as he prepared meals for the two of them. He kept humming alone with wide smiles over his handsome face.

An hour later, Jennet emerged from the bedroom and walked down the stairs slowly. Her stomach was growling and she needed to refuel. From the stairs, she looked around, hoping not to meet Hue.

The living room was empty and silent…

Inhaling a deep breath, she stepped down the stair, step by step, ignoring the pain from her entire body. But then, at the last step, she halted when Hue, suddenly walked out of the kitchen.

There was a moment of awkward silence in the atmosphere as they stared at each other. Both of them exchange glances without letting out a single word. Neither one of them could open their mouth.

Embarrassment hit Jennet’s heart continuously while looking at the man who was sparkling like a star in front of her. On reflex, she averted her eyes to the side, afraid of locking eyes with him.

Hue, on the other hand, was getting so nervous by the kitchen’s entrance when he saw her looking away from him. He coughed softly to attract her attention.

“Ehem, I… I made meals for us, my lovely wife.” He said and coughed again in an embarrassed manner. His cheeks blushed in crimson red and his heart was beating fast.

So fast!

Jennet glanced back at the man from the stairs with an even redder face. Why did he have to add ‘lovely’ in his sentence?

With all her might, she stepped down the last stair, acting natural. However, she was walking so awkwardly towards the kitchen. Also at the same time, she tried so hard to straighten her back although all of her muscles are crying in pain.

Hue eyed her and smiled with guilt. He felt guilty over what happened after looking at his wife acting mighty in front of him.

‘I am sorry… I was saving you with what I have.’ He cried silently while clenching his thighs tightly.

Although he was angry at her for having a boyfriend that couldn’t be proven just yet, he pitied her after what he had done to her from last night.

He pulled a chair for her and she sat down without looking at him. His actions were swift when he served their afternoon meals on the table.

“Help yourself, my lovely wife.” He said and sat down beside her while staring at her with so much attention.

Jennet glanced at him with an uneasy look. She took the juice glass and held it close to her lips.

“Stop looking at me.” She hissed and took a sip of the juice. Her face was burning and she felt so pressured to eat while being watched by the handsome man.

Hue immediately looked away and also took his own juice glass and drank the content.

Once again, silence filled the dining area during their meals. As soon as they finished appeasing their stomachs, Jennet immediately tried to flee from staying in the same space as Hue.

But, Hue grabbed her left wrist, stopping her from running away from him, “Wife, are you angry at me?” He asked.

Jennet pulled her hand and looked away. “I am not angry.” She said and was about to turn her whole body away from him.

But, again, Hue caught her wrist, “Then, why are you in a hurry to leave?”

Jennet tugged back her hand roughly, “I need some space on my own.” She replied, cold.

She walked out of the kitchen but then, Hue chased after her from behind.

“Did you forget about what you said from last night?” Hue asked her, stopping her again as she turned to look at him.

Has she forgotten everything that she had said to him? Has she forgotten about the vow?

Jennet looked at the floor and frowned, thinking hard of what she had ever said to him. But, no matter how hard she tried to recall what happened, she failed to remember.

Hue stared at her with knitted brows. He was getting even worried when she didn’t say a word to him. Looking at her twisted expression made him nervous. All of his hard work will be of no use if she failed to recall even a bit of what had happened between them.

Taking her hands in his, he said, “You said that I will be your only man from when we first met until forever. We have pledged our vows to be together.”

He will keep trying to make her remembers everything she ever said from last night.

Jennet raised her head and stared into his jade blue eyes, “I clearly do not have any memory of what I had said but please don’t take it seriously. I was out of my mind last night. Just treat it like it never happens, you know like a dream.” She answered, pulling her hands, and forcing a smile on her face.

She didn’t know that her answer was like rubbing salt onto Hue’s wound and it made him even sadder.

Hue stood petrified in front of her. He felt all of his hopes crumbled to the ground, washed away cruelly by the unstoppable time which had erased the ‘precious memories’ from her head.

She said not to take it seriously but didn’t she knew that he had given his first time to her? Yet, she said to treat it all like a dream? How could she took advantage of his innocence and then tried to toss him away after she had tasted his body last night?

Plus, she was even demanding than him and he had hurt his back so badly for trying to give her what she wanted.

Slowly, his face puckered as an immense sadness slowly gnawed his delicate heart. Tears flowed smoothly down his cheeks. He started to cry heartily out of the blue.

His actions, however, made Jennet became even confused. She stood rooted in front of him, looking so stupid with her mouth half-open in surprise.

Hue raised his head, “Wife is so mean,” he said with a sore throat and sniffed, “so much meaner than the Death Reaper.” He added and cupped his face in his palm.

“We had consummated our marriage last night but why are you telling me to forget it? Why?” He wailed out loud, like a man who had just lost his beloved on the battlefield.

Jennet could only roll her eyes bigger watching the unexpected turn of event. His cries become even louder and louder by the minutes and it really hurts her eardrums even more than before!

“Hue, stop crying!” Jennet pushed him to sit on the sofa in the living room.

She stood in front of him, glaring down at him and said, “I knew nothing about what happened between us last night. I am sorry if I hurt you or over something that I did but I never have any intention to do ‘it’ with you. I was out of my mind and…”

Hue raised his wet face and interrupted, “How could you said that when you actually raped me last night.”

What?! Jennet gasped in disbelief. Her eyes widened, ‘I raped him?!’

She snorted and said, “What are you even saying now?”

It is so funny if she raped him. Plus it doesn’t make any sense to her logical thinking.

Hue eyed her with his wet and red eyes, “Are you going to just let my first time go on waste now? Wife, you may not care about losing your purity but I do. I care a great deal about! Wife is so mean!!” He wailed again as loud as he could. Tears flowed down very easy down his cheeks.

Jennet straightened her back and looked to the side, thinking and trying to recall all of the incidents from last night but nothing could be recalled except for her ferocious behaviour to undress him.

Then, she gasped alone ‘Goodness, did I really **** him last night? I did say something about telling him to take his clothes off but, did I really **** him after that? How did I **** him?!’

Feeling guilty, she looked back at the crying man on the sofa. He was cupping his wet face in his palms as he cried.

She was hesitant to persuade him because she had also lost her first time to him. But, telling him all that would also be so embarrassing and who knows what he will do next if he gets too excited.

Hue raised his head and started to talk with both hands moving in sync to his body language, “Wife kept asking for again and again until I hurt my whole body. I am not a machine to satisfy your craving and now you said to forget everything after you took advantage of me!”

He added and pointed downward, “Even down there, I am still feeling numb for having to keep it hard for you.” Then, he wailed again like a woman who has been abandoned by her man. “And I hurt my throat for moaning out loud because of you who kept asking for louder voice.” He added.

Mo…moaning?

Another wave of realisation hit Jennet like cold water which made her trembled on her feet hearing his complaint as she motioned her eyes down his throat and lastly his torso.

What have I done? Did I really torture this man last night?

No wonder, she felt so painful down there as well because his male part was inside hers last night. It does make sense now. She must have been raping him mercilessly on the bed. The bloodstains must be proof of her behaviour.

But, how exactly did she do the raping on someone as strong as him? Did she turn into a superwoman who had surpassed her own expectations?

She bit her nails silently with guilt and slowly walked towards him but stopped. She opened her mouth but closed them again, while at the same time thinking of the best words to say to the delicate hearted man. But, nothing better could come into her mind.

She exhaled a deep breath, sat beside him and said, “I will take responsibility on you.”

However, Hue cried even louder than before. He turned his back towards her and continued to wail out with constant sadness.

“You are lying! You only say that to pacify me but I am not going to fall for that! You always, always change your mind in the last minute!” Hue stomped his feet while at it. Tears flowed down so easily down his poreless face.

Jennet turned her head towards him, glaring angrily. ‘When I say the truth, he refused to believe me. Stupid husband!’ She grumbled in her heart. It’s useless talking with a person who had mood swing like him.

As fast as lightning, Hue turned his body around, facing her, “I am not a stupid husband. I am a good husband. It’s you who is stupid for not knowing how much I love you.” He said, pulling on a sulky face at her. Also at the same time, belittle her for her stupidity in refusing to acknowledge his honest love.

He reads her mind easily as well!

Jennet looked away, slightly embarrassed to have direct eyes contact with him. Her thought was not of their current conversation but…

Moaning… his moaning…

‘How did he sounded last night?’ She thought.

But then, she shook her head, ‘Kyaa, now I am totally turning into a pervert!’ Her conscious mind screamed out loud.

Her mind suddenly couldn’t stop trying to recall the soft moans that may have come out of his mouth.

Her throat suddenly went dry and she gulped silently. Deep down a feeling hits her to retry what she couldn’t remember from last night but, she refused to yield to the yearning.
