Ghost of My Heart - Chapter 58

“Stupid adults.” He mumbled to himself. Even after years had passed, they were still not able to stop quarrelling among each other. The nature that couldn’t be erased even after one of them lose their memory of his own past.

Also, those two men were clearly revealing their identities to the humans. If what they said were heard by the higher-ups, each of them will be punished even severely.

Little Veen opened his palm and blew out. Glittering clouds of dust flews in the entire office when he cast forgetting spell to all of the police officers to forget about the bickering that they heard from the interrogation room.

Then, he appeared inside the interrogation room that had turned into an arena for verbal war among the two men who had just met for the first time after thousands of years.

Another small figure of a little boy appeared by Little Veen’s side. He had curly black hair with light yellow eye colour. His skin was fair and he had a slim looking cheeks.

The two of them had the same calm and collected facial expressions.

“Your master never change, Little Viele.” Little Veen opened his mouth as his eyes stared towards his master, bickering with Delton.

“Yes indeed. Yours is not bad either.” Little Viele replied. “A little bit soft than thousands of years ago.”

“Hmm…” Little Veen answered with a little hum.

The two of them stood by, without moving. In their eyes, there were no emotions. No one could tell what they are thinking about inside their heads.

After a long pause, Little Veen opened his mouth without turning his head towards Little Viele.”I think we better solve their problems. I’ll call for my master’s wife to take him home.”

Little Viele nodded his head in agreement, “Good idea. I’ll knock these two idiotic masters out while we execute our jobs. They are unreliable when they meet each other.”

As soon as he said that, he transformed into an adult version of him and knocked the two men’s out cold. Their masters slumped on the floor, unconscious.

Then, Little Viele turned back into a little boy, and stood by the two men, looking at them with no emotions. He stood before them like a statue.

Little Veen turned around towards the door and slowly turned into an adult with the appearance of Delton. Even his clothes transformed together into the attire of a police officer.

He walked out with ease and with an aura that was domineering as a police officer should be. He entered Delton’s office and dialled on Jennet’s phone number. The wait wasn’t long and his call was answered.

“Good evening, this is Delton of Missing Child Department from X Police station. May I talk to Miss Jennet Lockhart please?” He asked on the phone in Delton’s voice.

“Miss Lockhart, you have a child currently in our supervision in the X Police station. Please come and take him home.” He said when his master’s wife answered the call.

“Hmm…that’s weird because the child provided us with this contact number and your name. Either way, you still have to come to the station for verification.”

Then, after he said it, the conversation ended when his master’s wife agreed to come to the police station for the verification.

Little Veen walked out of the office and headed for the interrogation room again. As soon as the door closed behind him, he turned back into a little boy with his poker face on.

“All, done.” He said to Little Viele. “Let’s slap them awake.” He said again. Little Viele nodded in agreement.

The two of them stood by their masters’ side and each of them landed a hard, sobering slap, on the two men’s faces.

The idiotic masters jerked awake due to the stinging slap from their small but mighty hands. As soon as they opened their eyes, Little Veen blew the glittering dust of forgetting spell on them.

After a while, both of the idiotic masters came to their senses as they blinked their eyes as if they had just woken up from deep sleep.

Hue looked around in confusion. He saw Little Veen and at the same time felt the stinging pain on his cheek. Then, he saw Delton by his side. Delton’s cheek also had the mark of a small handprint.

Turning towards Little Veen, Hue asked, “What happened to us?”

“Master, your wife will come shortly to take you home. You better behave like a good kid.” Said Little Veen, giving him a warning at the same time.

Meanwhile, Little Viele glanced at Delton and said, “Master, you have just called Master Hue’s wife to verify his identity.”

“My Master’s identification card has always been kept by his wife inside her handbag.” Little Veen interrupted from the side as he helped Hue to stand up.

Delton nodded his head and stood up. He looked a bit confused as he turned to look at Little Viele. “What happened to us?”

“Both of you just fell asleep due to exhaustion and we had to slap to wake you both up.” Little Viele answered with his poker looking face.

(And that was how the situation was handled professionally by the two men…ahem, well, actually by the two little kids.-Snail)

***

(Now…)

Her eyes grew bigger when he crawled even closer to her. In this heart-thumping situation, she couldn’t flee even if she wanted to flee.

She stuttered on the bed, “Stay away from me. I mean it, Hue.” She said. “I’ll…”

Hue pushed her and she laid on her back. She was all surprised plus scared.

He mounted her body and chuckled, “My lovely wife, I have to torture you with pleasure in exchange to know about my identity. It will be fair that way.”

Jennet shrank back in fear, “That’s not fair. It’s just to satisfy your desire!” She said.

How on Earth is that a fair thing? He was just wanting to satiate his desire.

She pushed his chest hard but he immediately grabbed her hands and pressed them beside her head.

Hue smiled menacingly at her. Licking his own lips with lust, he leant closer, playfully kissing her chin, “It’s fair. You need to satisfy your desire to know who I am and I need to satisfy my own desire. Both are called desire, so, it’s fair.” He explained.

He lowered his face, closer to her face, “Also, I need you to bear my heirs soon and I must achieve that goal no matter what you say about me afterwards because we’re already married.” He whispered.

Jennet went squeaking with fright underneath him, “I’m…I’m not ready yet.” She said.

She was not ready to be a mother yet plus, she hasn’t married him properly. She has to properly register their marriage if they wanted to have children…wait, wait, what was she even thinking now?

Hue lowered his face even closer. He gazed deeply into the brown eyes who stared at him with fear. His eyes, then, fell on her supple lips.

Tilting her chin upward, he clasped his lips with hers and savoured her taste in his mouth.

“I’ll be gentle…” He whispered between kisses. Then, he silenced her as he deepened their kiss.

Jennet turned bright red beneath him. Was he trying to rekindle the forgotten memories of what happened last night?

Jennet freed her hands, cupped his chin and pushed his face away from hers.

“Hue…” She called out for his name.

She needed to make it clear between the two of them now. So, she needed to tell him what she had always wanted to say.

She looked up at him and inhaled a deep breath, “Hue, I have something to tell you. Can we sit properly and have a talk?” She asked.

Hue looked down on her and smiled, “Sure but we’re not leaving the bed. If I wanted to pounce on you, I’ll immediately do so on the bed.”

Jennet’s face turned so smug over what he had said. Is there no other thing he can think of? He’s so perverted!

But, she didn’t say it out loud but pushed him to the side. She pulled on the quilt, covering her whole body and sat down properly beside him.

Inhaling a deep breath, she looked at him with determination burning in her eyes. Whatever it is, she must know what he would answer.

“Hue, I want to know, will you leave me for someone else if one day I ask you to leave me?” She asked.

Hue tilted his head a bit to the side. He smiled at her and asked, “Why would I leave you for someone else when I only have my eyes and heart for you?”

Jennet sighed softly, “I know you have your eyes and heart only for me now but in the future, you may have a change of heart.” She eyed him meaningfully.

She doesn’t want her past to repeat itself over and over again. She had a past that she wish not to resurfaced because to forget such a past, she had to harden her heart for years.

“Why would you drown your heart in sorrow for a future that we may not know of yet? I am honest with my intention and I never regret marrying you in the first place.” Hue replied to her.

He took a lock of her hair and brought it to his lips, giving it a light and loving kiss.

Jennet watched his actions in silence. There was no use to talk to him in this situation… Plus, he was not so focused on what she wanted to say either.

Hue sensed the change in her expression. He raised his head and lean to kiss her exposed shoulder, “My dear wife, I love you.”

Jennet inhaled a deep breath. Before her eyes, a man so handsome is declaring his love to her for the umpteenth time. But, she felt guilty and empty at the same time. Her past is still haunting her and she felt insecure to accept his love.

Slightly pushing his face away from her shoulder, she said, “Hue, are you sure you honestly love me with all your heart?”

She turned her body around, facing him. “Are you not after my body?” She asked again with knitted brows. Her clutches on the quilt tightened.

Since the first time she met him, he had always wanted to be intimate with her. She became insecure either he really loves her or just for her body.

Men, nowadays are not to be trusted so easily and that was what she thought.

Hue looked deep into the brown eyes of hers. “I am after all of you.” He answered her question. “In and out of you, I love it all.” He added again.

Jennet looked away and was lost in thoughts again. Is it true?

Honestly, she still couldn’t believe a word spoken by a man over what she had experienced which had become a thorn in her heart. Due to that experience, she couldn’t find herself falling in love even if they are good looking or not.

Hue was feeling a bit unhappy about her action and he pulled her face towards him and clasped their lips together.

Before she started to be insecure again, he better takes the chance to love her with all that he had. He wanted her to believe him like how he had always believed in her.

Pulling his lips away from her lips, he pressed his forehead against hers.

Gazing into her eyes, he said, “Believe in me. I will never leave you. Whatever you had faced in the past will always be the past. Let’s have a future together with me.” He begged softly. “I love you, my wife.”

Jennet closed her eyes. An unknown comfortable feeling enveloped her like a comforter. Before she even realized it, a drop of tear trickled down from the brim of her eyes and onto the quilt.

Should I soften my heart for him? Or should I not?

She had always wanted to feel happiness. Even for a bit, she wanted to feel happy with her choice. She had suffered before because no one cared to protect her heart.

She’ll take this chance to change her course of fate. She’ll try to take this once in a lifetime chance to trust the man who appeared out of nowhere in her life. She’ll risk it all for once for the last time.

She slightly raised her head, “Hue, make me believe that I am not wrong to choose you.” She whispered. She wanted to believe in him this time, even a tiny bit.

Hue smiled widely. He tilted her chin up and said, “I’ll alter everything that you have ever experienced. I’ll always give you the happiest memory.” He smiled at her.

‘My wife, I will make you see only me in your eyes. I will conquer your heart even the deepest and the darkest secrets you hide will all be known to me. I will never ever let you go ever again because it took me years to find you.’ Hue vowed in his heart. ‘I will never let you go, ever again.’

At the same moment, his eyes colour changed to red but then, it turned back to jade blue before Jennet even realized the changes.

He lowered his face, towards her trembling lips. His eyes just focused on those supple lips, “Don’t push me when I kiss you.” He said, in a commanding tone.

Hearing his command, she gasped and on her usual reflex, wanted to avert his kiss but he was fast to stop her by pulling her neck towards him. Their lips were clasped tightly together again.

“Hmm… Hue…” Jennet gasped and stared into his eyes that were close to hers.

Her heart started to beat faster and the feeling of embarrassment surged up to her face as she blushed deeply.

“Close your eyes,” Hue commanded again. A cold aura exuded from his surrounding

“But…” Jennet was hesitant because she knew what he wanted.

“Close your eyes, my love.” He whispered in her ear and slowly laid her down on the bed again. “I’ll make you forget about everything.”

Jennet gasped underneath him, “Ehh, but, I don’t wanna forget about my work tomorrow.” She said, half panicking.

Hue was rendered speechless above her. ‘Even at a moment like this you still try to kill the mood?!’

However, he chuckled shortly after that. “My wife, you’re so unexpected. But, that’s the reason I love you so much. I won’t disappoint you and I’ll be your best husband throughout your life.”

“Okay, I get it. Now let’s sleep. I am so tired.” Jennet said, immediately changing the topic and she was even ready to push him out of the bed. She suddenly had a mixed feeling either to continue or not.

Hue smirked at her and grabbed her wrist. “Not so fast my wife. Let’s have more fun on the bed.”

“Hue…just…just let me get some rest.” Begged Jennet.

“You will fall asleep super fast after the ‘fun hour’ ended. Okay, come here!” Hue said with a naughty smirk as he pulled on the quilt from her body and tossed it to the side.

Another loud scream filled the entire villa when she was naked on the bed. All kind of curses flew out from her mouth and the one word that stayed on her mouth was ‘Pervert’.
