The Wretched Mistress - Chapter 108

Jackson leaned down and gave her a quick kiss on her lips. “Am I really that handsome in your eyes?” He teased.

Jessica turned red and pursed her lips. Sometimes she wondered how lucky could she get, to have this kind of man? What did she do in her previous life to have this kind of treatment? Instead of answering, she pulled Jackson’s collar and kissed him deeper on the lips. It was the first time that she initiated the contact.

For her actions, Jackson was elated! He leaned down and lifted her up. Making her legs intertwined to his h.i.p.s. After the deep kiss, he murmured to her ears. “Careful little girl, I might lost control and eat you here and now. Too bad, my men are still here.”

Jessica burrowed her face in Jackson’s neck, embarrassed. She didn’t know what came to her! It was as if, Jackson was so charming and enchanting. It made her want to kiss him, deeper than what they usually share. It was as if, she wanted Jackson to make her as his woman.

Jackson chuckled, his voice sounded like a melody in Jessica’s ears. “Let’s go inside. I don’t want the mosquitoes to eat my little girl while I haven’t even tasted her yet.”

“You…” Jessica pulled her head away, just enough to look at him.

Jackson gave a quick kiss in her rosy lips and said. “Don’t tempt me with this look or I might just do you here and now.”

Jessica didn’t doubt his savagery. His eyes were so compelling that it would make her believe everything that he says. Even if he says that the sun comes up from the west, she would believe it!

Jackson laughed and carried her back into the villa. The poor little girl was so adorable. Sometimes, when he teased her like this. It would make her speechless while her face turns red. It made him want to devour her but it wasn’t the time yet.

Although the drug was successful, she have to want it herself. Only then can they call it a full success. The moment that he tries to push himself to her, her memories would trigger. How did he know this? He tried the first week. It didn’t end up good. She had caught a fever and her body was constantly trembling as if it was too cold.

It made Jackson worried and so he decided to bring her to a tropical place. It was Ben’s suggestion, as they have never encountered this sort of problem before.

After a month of staying here, she finally was doing well. The hot weather was doing good for her body. All in due time, he and April will be together forever.

BANG !!!

Alex fell on the floor. His lips were busted open and were bleeding.

Colm glared at his so-called friend. “I should have never allowed you to get closer to her! She was perfectly fine with us in the US! Now she has to go through another set of suffering because of you!” He clenched his fist tightly. His fist slightly hurt when it landed a punch on Alex’s face, still, it didn’t compare to the pain inside his heart.

It had been already a month and they still couldn’t locate April. It was as if she had vanished on the surface of the earth. They had found tracks but it kept leading on dead ends!

They did uncover some interesting pieces of news. Jackson Swaniston was a member of a strong organization called The Golden Triad. It’s powered by evil politicians and businessmen all over the world. Not only this, but they held power over oil reserves, drug trafficking and a lot more. It could match to the web networking of the Black Dragon Club.

It seems that Jackson was a key member of some sort of experimentation. Even though he was sent to jail for quite a long years, his subordinates didn’t stop the experiments. Only when it was finally ready when he finally got out of Jail.

Although he was successful, it looks like he had a fall out with the triad too. They didn’t know what it was nor they did care about it. What matters right now was to locate April. Through Alex’s father Theo, they were able to get this information from the Black Dragon Club. This wasn’t free though and Theo had to pay quite a large sum. Malcolm and Ted wanted to help Theo but he declined firmly, saying that she is part of the family now and this is the right thing for him to do.

Right now, it was the first time the Colm confronted Alex. As soon as he landed in England with his father Malcolm and April’s father Ted, he went looking for April. Coordinating with everyone who knew what happened. He even used all his connections such us his friends to help. Still, it all seems futile. When he could no longer control his anger and the pain in his heart, he confronted Alex.

Alex didn’t even dare to defend himself. He looked like a mess. He had even grown out a beard and there were dark circles around his eyes. He had hardly slept this past month. It would be a miracle if he could sleep for 5 hours. He was constantly on his toes until today, when his father Theo had kicked him out and told him to rest.

Instead of resting, he went to drink. Hoping that he could pacify the emptiness inside his chest. This is where Colm entered the scene and punched him.

Alex wiped the blood from his mouth and stood up. Luckily, this was Alex’s club. He had already sent everyone home earlier. For how Colm knew that he was here, he didn’t bother with it. Instead of looking at Colm, he poured himself and Colm a strong liquor. He didn’t wait for Colm to take his glass and just started drinking again.

Seeing his miserable friend, Colm sighed and took his glass. At least he wasn’t the only one suffering at the moment. Somehow punching Alex gave a slight relief on his chest. There was no use for words as if the two had silently agreed to get drunk tonight.
