The Wretched Mistress - Chapter 114

With Jessica’s persistence, she and Jackson went fishing. There was a small fishing boat anchored near the small port of the Island.

Jessica sat down on the rocking chair while she waited for Jackson to get everything he needed. She offered to help but he declined. Pointing out that she should rest and nurse her headache, so she won’t get sick in the sea.

Although they were going to fish, she didn’t know if Jackson knew how. She saw him bring taco boxes, fishing poles, net, baits and what not.

Since she has no idea about anything, she obediently rocks herself. The headache was now subsiding, happy that the medicine was working well. She leaned on the chair and rested her eyes.

She felt like she was on vacation. Away from all the busy noise of the city. Although she doesn’t have any recollection of any memories. She wasn’t that dumb either. She had a feeling that the city was a crowded place full of people. She’d rather stay here, she thought.

Not long after, Jackson came back. “All set.” He announced. He saw her resting on the rocking chair and couldn’t help but smile. Then he noticed that the sun would probably burn her later. “Did you put on any sunblock?”

Jessica opened her eyes and shake her head. Jackson frowned and went inside to grab it. She smiled when he saw him being a worried hen again.

Jackson came back and put some lotion on her. Jessica didn’t fuss and let her husband do what he wants. She somewhat started liking it anyways. She feels that whatever they fought about before and that accident that made her lose her memories, must’ve really made him feel guilty.

“Alright, let’s go. Although it’s about noon now, there’s a shade on the fishing boat. You can sit there if you feel too hot.” Jackson offered his hand and Jessica took it. He helped her get up and the two went towards the port.

Everything went smoothly as if Jackson knows what he was doing. The fishing boat was 15 feet long and could hold 4 people. Although they were in the ocean, Jackson didn’t plan on going far. He just wanted to tour her around the island.

Jessica’s eyes were everywhere. There were other small islands around their little paradise. It kinda seems hidden and mystical now. The water was clear and blue, she almost wanted to take a dive. For good reasons, she somehow knew how to swim. Don’t ask her how she remembers it. She wouldn’t be able to explain it. It was sort of natural to her. When she swims in the ocean, it was as if she longed for it.

While Jackson was busy driving the boat, he didn’t forget to pay attention to her. Seeing her smiling and pointing out different things that she found pretty, Jackson was happy. They laughed and talk as they traveled around. When Jackson finally found a place to anchor the boat, Jessica took off her dress. She was wearing a yellow one-piece bathing suit. Unfortunately, the love marks were visible. It was already the most conservative bathing suit that she has. Most of them were two pieces.

Seeing that Jackson stared at her neck and her thighs, Jessica blushed and dived into the water. Yes, even her thighs weren’t saved. It was as if Jackson was marking his territories.

Jackson rubbed his neck when he saw the little girl running away like a little mouse. There was a slight red on his ears, face, and neck. He felt guilty but at the same time happy. He never thought that he would have this kind of moment in his life.

Ever since he came to be in this world, his life wasn’t his to order about. He was an orphan and had been taken by some child traffickers.

Luckily, he was smart and showed promising talents. He was recruited until he rose to his position as a key member of the Golden Triad. But his journey hadn’t been easy at all. He became a lab rat by Ben’s mentor, Dr. Ivan Sanchez.

Dr. Ivan Sanchez was not your typical doctor. He studies various things, but what he majored in was the study of the brain. He became one of the subjects and injected all sorts of drugs and medicine. In his group, only he survived and so that’s how he became a key member.

Unfortunately, The Jewel Drug Operation wasn’t a full success. They needed a girl to withstand it. When Dr. Ivan Sanchez started his experiments, Jackson was 9 years old. Up until he was 25, no girl survived the drugs. This made Dr. Ivan Sanchez mad and furious. The Golden Triad almost gave up on it, until April came.

There were 10 girls along with April that day. Only that, she had caught his eyes. The usual way on how they get these test subjects were from the child traffickers subdivision. Dr. Ivan Sanchez had said that experimenting when one is still young, was the crucial key to success. This was a proven fact for Jackson’s case. They have tested it to all kinds of ages before and only Jackson survived. Even until now, they still tested it for all sorts of young boys. For some reason, no one could survive. By studying Jackson’s blood, Dr. Ivan Sanchez found his answer.

It was due to his mix race. Being able to become half European and half Asian. After this discovery, Dr. Ivan Sanchez was able to get more chances of success.

Still, Jackson was his perfect success. So Jackson was treated differently. In April’s case, she was three-quarters American and a fourth Asian. Her group was the first to test that theory. Let’s just say that April was the only survivor.

How did she manage to escape? Or how did the police knew of their location? Jackson sighed. He did it. He didn’t want her to become like him, so he had leaked their whereabouts. That’s why he stayed in jail so that he could keep her safe. He had erased all her information in the triad’s system and announced that she died. That she wasn’t able to cope up with the drugs. Luckily, Ben was on his side.

Although he did what he was asked from the triad, he did it in the most gentle way he could to her. He did act tough and ordered her around, even to the point of having her serve others. But it was the only way for the both them survive. He was weak and powerless. So he bid his time inside the jail while his trusted subordinates grow his powers. With the help of Ben, they were able to grow his wealth and

power.

Jessica knocked on the boat when she noticed that Jackson was preoccupied again. Somehow she felt a stinging pain every time she sees him being like this. She didn’t know the reason but somewhat, her heart aches for him.

She got up in the boat and hugged him. He didn’t even hear her knocking or when she got back up. He only noticed when his back became cold and wet. He could only sigh and hide his emotions from her. He didn’t want her to suffer anymore. This was the main reason why he erased her memories.
