Ghost of My Heart - Chapter 55

Looking at the wife who had averted her eyes and shook her head alone, made Hue fumed with anger.

“Why are you looking away from me? Am I hideous looking now? It’s all your fault!” Hue blamed her and stomped his feet again while starting another cry.

He has been crying buckets of tears, looking so messy and had bloated eyes. All he had done to attract her attention so she could take care of his heart but she always denied everything.

Jennet looked back at him and coughed softly, “Ehem, I… it’s embarrassing to look at you directly.” She said.

“What is so embarrassing about me?” Hue asked, getting even sadder.

Jennet scowled at him but tried so hard to muffle her laughter. Looking at how messy he looked and also at the same time trying to recall how he may sound last night, she said, “Please don’t take it the wrong way Hue but, I have been trying to picture how you may sound with your current messy look.”

Hue was surprised beside her. Looking at her turning her face away, showing her red ears made his heart leapt with joy.

She’s so honest and innocent with her words. A new light of hope is coming!

He directly jumped on her, “Wife, I love you!”

“Kyahh!” Jennet cried when she fell on her back on the sofa. Her aching back came again!

“Let’s do ‘it’ again.” Hue said with a wide smile over his face. “I also didn’t remember quite well how ‘it’ ended last night because I only recollected of you raping me and if we re-do it, I’ll even make the sound that you long to hear.”

Jennet rolled her eyes at him, “No!”

Total refusal!

Traces of tears still visible on Hue’s face when he looked at her with a wide smile, “Let’s do it again.” He said, begging her with his puppy eyes that kept gleaming with excitement.

Jennet shook her head continuously, “I’ll die!” She said.

The pain she felt all over her body this morning was unbearable. She still felt the discomfort and the soreness on every part of her body.

If she were to recall the same feeling again, she wouldn’t know if she will be able to open her eyes the next day. She felt like she had been making love with a machine that knows no rest!

Ahh, no, no, no… She will be the machine that knows no rest until she broke her entire body from overworking on the bed.

“No, I can’t.” She kept saying, trying hard to make him understand her situation.

Whatever she did with him last night was out of control. She wasn’t aware of it and just fell for her desire that was probably frightening.

“No, you won’t! I’ll be gentle.” Hue said and tried to steal a kiss from her but she immediately cupped his mouth.

Jennet freaked out at his sudden intent and tried to stop him from getting even pumped up.

“Umm, I… I still feel uncomfortable. You know… it’s… umm…” She struggled to find the perfect word to describe her discomfort below her abdomen. Her hands went iced cold at the same time.

Hue looked down to her chest which made Jennet sent him flying out of the sofa with her fist. The poor man wailed again on the floor at the sudden hit from his wife.

Jennet straightened her back and sat down while coughing softly, “I am sorry but, I can’t.” She said and standing up.

“I need to go out. You, do what you want to do in this villa. I probably won’t come home tonight.” She added and walked away while ignoring all the aches on her body.

“Wife, don’t leave me alone!” Hue cried from the living room and wailing again while at it.

Later that evening…

There was a competition of silence on the table while each side was staring at each other.

Marvina was sitting opposite Jennet and was on a very serious looking face as she examined the glowing face in front of her.

Meanwhile, Jennet was fidgeting in her seat. Her friend was staring at her with a very serious expression and hardly said a word when they each took their seats in the cafe, hidden from other customers.

“You are glowing,” Marvina stated out of the blue.

If her mind is playing tricks on her then it’s good but her friend looked so shiny like a woman who had just gotten married!

Jennet stuttered in her seat, “I don’t think so.” She denied.

Marvina raised an eyebrow, “Yes you are. Are you happy over something or is there something that I need to know about the mystery man on the phone from this morning?” She asked again in a serious tone.

Right, that instant Jennet turned bright in red. She looked like an active volcano, steaming hot in the air, ready to erupt at any time.

Her sudden change in facial colour is clearly showing that something was indeed suspicious about the whole thing from this morning.

Marvina gasped and rolled her eyes bigger towards the red-faced woman, “Wait, are you telling me that…” She let her words hanging and then knitted her brows at her friend.

Jennet immediately glared at her, “What are you trying to say?” Her tone has gone cold.

Marvina looked at her face again and thought hard with her knitted brows,

“Tsk,” She clicked her tongue.

Shortly after that, “I am thinking about what kind of man he is. You’re seriously glowing with radiance like a newlywed.” She added.

Once again, Jennet’s face exploded in red even intense than the previous one. Her action made Marvina gasped in shock.

“You’re married?” Marvina guessed again.

Jennet nodded her head but then stopped nodding and suddenly shook her head. She was getting even more confused with her own actions.

“Jennet, what are you trying to tell me?” Marvina heaved a deep sigh. Deep down she sensed the word ‘burden’ circling her friend’s head.

She stared at the flushed looking friend and said, “I am dying to know the reason why you’re absent today. I don’t want to lump you together with all those women who chased after men so you better tell me the whole thing now before I make my own assumptions.” She threatened.

She lean back on the chair with arms crossed over her chest, looking like a mother, waiting for her daughter to tell the truth.

Jennet raised her head and was hesitant to say her mind. Then, she exhaled a deep sigh, “I actually do not know how to start explaining things to you.”

“Just get to the point.” Said Marvina. Her patience is running out by the minutes.

Jennet sighed again and cup her face in her palms.”He is a victim…” She said in a low voice.

“Excuse me?” Marvina raised her eyebrows, making her eyes bigger with surprised.

Victim? What kind of victim?

Jennet raised her head and glanced at her confused looking friend. ‘She’s not getting what I meant, right?’ She thought.

“Actually I am the bad guy.” She said, spilling the half spilt truth.

Marvina kept silent for a while, processing her words inside her head.

She is the bad guy? How come?

Then, she shook her head, “No, I don’t understand. What exactly are you trying to tell me?” She asked.

She then took a sip from the juice glass which was there beside her since earlier. Rather than waiting for Jennet to spill the truth, it’s better for her to quench her thirst first.

“I raped him last night…”

Sproofff!

A huge amount of juice spurted out from Marvina’s mouth. Right that instant, she coughed hard to the point her face gone redder. She cupped her mouth trying to stop herself from coughing even harder.

Jennet immediately took out a few tissues and handed it to her friend. Then, she wiped the table clean over the unexpected incident.

“Are you okay?” Jennet asked and patted her back.

Marvina wiped her mouth clean and tossed the tissues into the nearest bin. She sat properly and inhaled a few deep breaths before taking a good look at Jennet’s face,

“Gosh, Jennet!” She exclaimed in terror. “What had gotten into you?!” Her eyes rolled bigger towards her friend.

R… raping a man? Jennet? A woman who had never dare to love a man, let alone to touch them, could actually **** a man?

Now she knew and believed the saying, ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’. Having to experience one in front of her own eyes, make her believed it.

Now, she’s having goosebumps all over her body!

Jennet looked down on her lap. She gulped down a few times and then raised her head again,

“If I tell you this story, promise that you won’t tell anyone even Luca Tybelg. I need you to promise me to keep it to yourself.” She begged.

Marvina nodded her head, “My lips are tightly sealed. Now, tell me what is it.”

At the same time, she tried so hard to stay focus. She had so many questions popping in her heads, hungry for answers.

Jennet inhaled a deep breath and then told her everything that she had kept to herself all this time. She told her everything about Hue Hedo, about how they met and about his childishness.

Marvina could only listen with wide eyes and closed lips. Everything that she heard was something that she didn’t expect even the slightest.

Marvina gasped when Jennet finished talking, “So ever since you moved into that villa, you have been living with, Hue Hedo?”

Jennet nodded her head, “Yes, and I have to accept that he’s my husband or he would throw a fuss about it. You can say we’re newlywed.” She raised her left hand and showed her wedding ring to Marvina.

Marvina eyed the ring again, “Gosh, I thought that ring was from Luca. No wonder… This Hue guy is so annoying than after hearing your story.”

“Of course! Now you know why I wanted to keep it a secret from everyone because technically speaking I have never signed any marriage agreement with him. If I tell the world that we’re married, I would be laughed at because I don’t have any proof to show the world. It could ruin my career as well.” She whined in her seat and slumped her head on the table, groaning softly.

She raised her head again, “You know what, I always forgot to ask him about his identity because he would always do something that makes me forget what I wanted to ask him. I have been dying to ask him questions but I never have the chance. He would always cry out of the blue if I refused to be lovey-dovey with him or when he wanted to be spoilt like a child.” Then, she sighed again.

“It was such big a hurdle for me to live in the same house with him and the worse part is, he always, always finds his way into my bedroom even though I have locked every doors and window every night.” She complains and sighed non-stop.

‘Wow, what a beautiful disaster. I wonder how this guy looks like?’ Marvina thought as her eyes rolled bigger in surprised. At the same time, she prayed to be given even the slightest chance to meet this ‘Hue Hedo’.

Marvina glanced around and then lean closer towards her, “So how exactly did you raped a full-grown man who is much stronger than you, or how on Earth did he let himself be raped?”

Jennet shook her head and answered, “I don’t know. Honestly, I don’t know how I did all those unimaginable things with him but all I know is waking up in the morning feeling terrible.”

“That’s weird. Did he perhaps drugged you last night?” Asked Marvina again.

Jennet sat straight and thought back with wrinkled brows. Last night, she prepared drinks for the two of them after their so-called fight. In those drinks, she had…

She gasped with her mouth wide open, “Oh no, now I remembered, it was I who drugged the both of us.”

She held her head and continued, “I was just trying to comfort him with tea after our fight but I found a bottle of pills in the kitchen’s cabinet. Yes, the Happy Pills!”

Marvina frowned, “Happy Pills?”

‘So, there’s actually something called Happy Pills now. More like an aphrodisiac to me.’ She thought and looked even excited to listen.

“Yes, yes that pills. I thought it could make us happy so I prepared it for the both of us. I didn’t tell him what’s inside the drinks and then, all I remembered was feeling so sick and going to sleep.” Jennet explained and skipped a few details about what’s happening after that.

However, Marvina already sensed the ‘behind the scene’ of her story.

She chuckled, “Oho… Now I know why you’re absent today. You have just gone through an ‘aftermath’ with Hue, right?” She teased which was true.

She cupped her cheeks on the table and smiled with mischief on her face, staring at the blushing woman in front of her.

Jennet rolled her eyes at her, “Let’s just finish our drinks and go home. I’m staying with you.” She changed the topic.

Marvina chuckled again and said, “I can’t let you stay with me. My boyfriend is staying with me.” She smiled.

Then, she took her phone and dialled a number before pressing it to her ear, waiting for an answer.

Jennet looked at her and asked, “What are you doing?”

Marvina just gestured at her friend to stay quiet, and then she smiled as the call was answered, “Hello honey, I miss you so much. Make sure you sleep with me tonight. I’ll be waiting for you, honey. Bye!” She then ended the call.

She looked at Jennet and said with a smiley face, “There you have it. My boyfriend is staying with me so, you must go home to your husband and continue with your honeymoon. I will not bother you again and will now not worry too much.”

Jennet grunted softly, “Marvina, you’re not fair! I am trying to save him from me!”

Marvina shook her head, “He’s a man and if there is someone who needs to be saved, that person will be you. Have you taken any medication of prevention on accidental pregnancy?”

Jennet shook her head, “I have no idea about such medication. We did it only for a night so I won’t get pregnant, right?” She asked again, clueless of the outcome of their actions from last night.

“How many times did you do it with him last night?” Marvina asked. So bold of her!

“What do you mean by that? I only slept with him once.” Replied Jennet, getting slightly annoyed.

“Yes, I know you slept with him once, but how many times did he get inside you last night, pumping his seeds inside you?” Marvina asked again while making an elaboration on her question.

Jennet immediately slapped her shoulders with a steaming red face, “You don’t have to elaborate that part!” She said fiercely.

This is so embarrassing!

But, still, Marvina kept asking, “Then, tell me how many times? It will be the answer if you’ll get pregnant or not. Even if you go meet the doctor, they will ask the same thing as I do.”

In her heart, she was itching to know what had become to her cold and distant friend who refused to get to know a man before.

Jennet took her own juice glass and sipped a bit of it, looking so red as she said, “I am not sure. I think we probably keep doing ‘it’ the whole night because my entire body is very sore and I hardly walk properly.”

Marvina gasped in her seat. ‘That’s so mighty of her. For a first-timer to keep doing ‘it’ for the whole night, even I would have died.’ She thought.

Marvina immediately shook her hands. “Congratulations! You’re on a ninety-nine point nine per cent will be pregnant.”

Then, she added, “You’re so amazing to still survive after what you have done.”

“Marvina…” Jennet whined and pulled her hands back. “I wasn’t myself when we did it.”

Before she could continue to explain, her phone suddenly rang. She glanced at it and realised, it’s a call from an unknown number but she immediately answered the call.

“Good evening, this is Delton of Missing Child Department from X Police station. May I talk to Miss Jennet Lockhart please?” Said a male voice from the edge of the line.

“Jennet Lockhart is speaking,” Jennet said with knitted brows.

“Miss Lockhart, you have a child currently in our supervision in the X Police station. Please come and take him home.”

Jennet stared back at Marvina with her mouth wide open.
