Ghost of My Heart - Chapter 62

“I am married and I am faithful to my wife. My wife is super beautiful and I don’t need anyone else. You better send me to the hotel now.” Hue kept saying and reminding him of his initial destination.

He didn’t intend to prolong their conversation because he felt uneasy just sitting in the taxi with the nearly crazy man.

However, the driver didn’t drive straight away but he drooled over Hue. “Please marry my daughter. She’s twenty-three years old and she’s a reserved daughter. I’m sure she can make you way happier than your current wife.”

Hue inhaled a deep breath. He gazed upon the man, trying his hardest to control his patience that was getting thinner by the minutes. If he gets mad now, the human will be dead by his hands. But, he had promised not to draw more blood into his account.

It was a promise he made from thousands of years ago before he was exiled from his realm. He had promised to lay low during his sentence.

“Mister, I am in a hurry. My wife is waiting for me.” Hue said and snapped his fingers.

The driver suddenly went into a trance. His expression was tight. He immediately took the wheel as if he has been in control and drove away.

As soon as they arrived at the hotel, Hue snapped his fingers again and the driver blinked his eyes as if he had just woken up from a deep sleep. He was in confusion when Hue placed a stack of money in his palm.

“Thank you for your excellent service. Here’s for you for the transfer fee as well as for tips.” Hue thanked him with a smile and hurriedly stepped out of the taxi.

The driver glanced from inside the driver’s seat but the blonde-haired man was nowhere to be seen. He was speechless and confused while staring at the money in his palm. After counting the money, he found out the amount is up to three thousand.

Unbelievable!

Again, he was speechless in his seat. He looked out the window, searching for the man again but, the man had completely disappeared from his view.

The driver broke into a wide smile as tears of joy filled his eyes, “I can now pay for my daughter’s remaining medical fee. Thank you, God, for your graciousness!” He prayed in tears.

Meanwhile, Hue peeped from behind a pillar. He saw the driver’s wide smile and heard his honest thanks in his prayer.

He knew the man had financial problems and he also knew he had to support his ill daughter. He knew his charms caused humans to fall head over heel with him because their souls were restless and needed comfort over the turmoil they faced every day. Their souls needed something beautiful to bring back the happy essence that has gone from their life.

A smile appeared on Hue’s face. It was a gentle and comforting smile and there was no trace of any evil smirk on his face.

Well, it was his duty to bring comfort for the restless souls as long as his actions didn’t go against the law of Reality.

“Honey!” Somebody called his name. At the same time, there was the sound of somebody running in high feel coming from behind him.

Hue turned around and a beautiful woman suddenly forced him against the pillar.

She was clad in a black short skirt that was paired with a light brown tight. The white shirt she wore fit so tightly on her body and it showed the fullness of her breast beneath the cloth and fully showing her cleavage.

The sexy woman wound her arms around his waist and her bouncy, big chests were pressed against his chest. She nuzzled her face against his skin, inhaling his scents deeply.

“Hey, who are you? Let go of me!” Hue pushed her away from him in alarm. But, the woman latched herself even tighter against his body.

“I miss you so much!” She said out of the blue.

She raised her head and looked straight into his eyes. She had a pair of beautiful black irises and her facial feature were just beautiful and well cared. Even her body smells nice but it was all because of her perfume.

But to compare, Hue much prefers his wife’s mild and comforting scent.

“Who are you?” Hue asked again.

He kept pushing her using his fingers as if she was full in germs. He glowered at her suspiciously. He never knew any other woman in the human realm apart from his wife.

However, the woman just smiled. Even worse, his harshness only made the woman even daring and made her pinned her body even more tightly against his big physique. She chuckled and giggled every time he tried to push her away from him.

“Woman, I am a married man!” Hue said, trying his hard to unlatch her hands from his waist. He had never been humiliated like this in his life. If his wife sees them together like this, he would be done for.

“This is improper!” He cried.

“I don’t care about your marital status. I love you so much!” She said and pulled his face towards her, trying to kiss him!

Staring at her lips that was getting even closer to his, he couldn’t help it but let out a desperate scream.

“Help!!”

***

Jennet opened her eyes widely. She was in a deep sleep but an unknown force jerked her body to consciousness. She felt an energy surge through her tired body. Her pain was also already long gone as well as her sleepiness.

She sat down and looked around. She was in her room inside the hotel but she seemed to have heard Hue’s desperate scream from somewhere.

“Have I been dreaming all this while?” She mumbled alone. But, the scream she heard before was so loud and clear. He seemed to be so close in her vicinity.

Uneasy feeling crawled all over her body. Her heart was also beating so hard. She ruffled her hair with a soft groan, as if, ruffling them would keep her wary of what’s happening to her.

After a while, she stepped out of the bed and took her phone, looking at the time. It was already 6 pm, so which means, she had been sleeping for hours.

But then, she froze when she saw a message in her inbox. The sender was listed as ‘Home’. But, then she just shook her head and ignored it.

She, then, shifted her attention towards the missed calls from Luca Tybelg. There were quite a few missed calls from him and it was unexpected.

She exhaled a deep breath and lean her back against the dressing table, trying to make up her mind either to call him back him not.

“Nah, let him be. I still have time to explain myself later.” She said and placed the phone back on the dressing table.

“Help!” The same scream was heard again.

Jennet frowned. She looked around and cupped her ear.

“Help me! Wife, help me!” The desperate wail came again and this time coming out from the window.

“That sounds like Hue.” She said and hurried towards the window and peeked downward.

Below, she saw a group of women flocking the entrance of the hotel. Among them, there was a long-haired blonde man who was trying to run but was held by those women.

“Hue?!” Jennet gasped in surprise. All of her doubts were washed away in that gasp that escaped her mouth.

Hue was indeed so close to her vicinity but how did he manage to find her hiding place?

The past incidents came rushing into her mind about when she brought him out for the first time. Those women back then tried to break her car just to get to him and they scared him to death.

Now, he is in the open, alone and vulnerable to their attacks. He was cornered from every direction without a way to escape and was waiting for the end of him at any moment.

Jennet was bubbling with anger. She was thrown off balance while listening to his desperate cries. She really hates people ganging on one helpless man who doesn’t have any power to fight back or was he really that helpless?

Without any moment of hesitation, she stormed out of her room in her white bathrobe. Inside the lift that took her to the first floor, she kicked the slippers off her feet and ran barefooted towards the area where the commotions were.

“Stop!” She screamed as soon as she arrived, wheezing for a breather, a total uncool heroine on the rescue mission.

Her dramatic appearance, only in her bathrobe and was barefooted, made everyone turned their attention towards her.

Like before, all of those who swarmed around the area was in a trance as if just remembering something that they may have forgotten. It was as if her appearance was like a tranquillizer that calms the mad frenzy that was boiling in the air.

Everyone dispersed but only one, stubbornly, latching herself onto Hue’s body like a leech. She didn’t care about the death glare she received from the other party.

Jennet rolled her eyes in disgust. She hated it so much when another woman was embracing her man in the open, especially in her presence.

When she stared at the two of them, still sticking together, a familiar and painful feeling she felt a long time ago, came back to haunt her, piercing her heart continuously with dreadful memories of her past.

The pain was unbearable and became even painful by the minute. The wound she tried to heal for years was wide-open once again at the ‘betrayal’ before her eyes.

The unhappy feelings made her angry. Her anger was unbearable to the point she loses her sense of judgement. The intense feeling was burning deep inside her, making her bold with her next and unexpected action.

She paced forward, pulling the woman off by her wrist. Then suddenly…

‘Pap!’

Jennet landed a hard slap across the woman’s left cheek. It was a loud and clear sound.

Those who were watching held their breath and even held their own cheeks as if getting the same effect from what they saw.

Silence filled the entire entrance. Even, the noisiest counter from the front desk goes down into a total silent. It felt as if death was passing by and everyone had to keep silent.

For the first time in her life, Jennet didn’t care about the attention she got from the onlookers when she pulled Hue to her side. Hue was hauled over in surprise because her pull was amazingly stronger than normal.

“He is mine!” Jennet announced. Her voice was loud and clear in the bright evening sky. She was angry and she clearly displayed it over her face.

The sexy woman was in shock and she was speechless before them.

In the spur of the moment, Jennet pulled Hue by his collar, clasping her lips tightly against his soft lips.

Again, everyone gasped at the act bold done by the woman in the white bathrobe. Some people cupped their eyes, unwilling to keep watching.

Then, slightly pulling her face back but still clutching her fingers tightly on his collar, Jennet glanced back at the stupefied woman.

“Don’t ever dream to be with my husband, Miss Weiss.” She said in a clear voice. “Also, I won’t apologize for slapping you because you deserve to be slapped for trying to seduce my husband.”

The moment she saw the woman’s face, she knew exactly her identity. She was the woman who gave discounts on their purchases before, Katerina Weiss!

Jennet never forgets the face of the woman who had desired to snatch her husband away. She hated that kind of women the most and she had listed her in one of her blacklists.

Katerina Weiss held her aching cheek. Humiliation filled her but it didn’t drag her down or pummel her confidence.

“Just so you know, I won’t give up on him. I will make him mine soon!” She said, declaring war. “I’ll treat this slap as your challenge.”

Jennet stared at her with a sullen face. “Don’t waste your youth on something that is already taken. You will regret it.” She reminded her, giving her a piece of advice.

Katerina Weiss grunted and left the compound in a car that took her away.

Jennet glared at Hue who stood beside her. Her heart was burning so badly but the man before her was smiling happily at her. He was totally oblivious of her anger.

“Wife, you’re so amazing!” He praised her and his eyes were gleaming in satisfaction.

Taking his hand in hers, Jennet dragged him into her hotel room.

“You still owe me something,” She said with her jaws clenched together.
