Jennet pursed her lips.
"I see nothing,” she said her denial calmly."You did. Erase it." The reaper inched closer.Jennet stepped back. Her chest beat faster. "I see nothing!""You did." The reaper moved even closer. "Erase it."Jennet took another step back and started to tremble in fear.“I-”"Let her keep it," a voice said.Jennet flinched and glanced. She gasped. The same man whom she met inside the store stood not far from her. She glanced back at the reaper who distanced itself from them.Seeing the masked man, the reaper disappeared into the portal which soon vanished in seconds."Did you find what you've forgotten?" asked the mysterious masked man.Jennet turned around, looking at him. "Uh, not yet. But, I'm going to look for it now."She scooted back, trying to flee. But, the man noticed her intent. He chuckled."Why did you fear me?" he asked. "Have I hurJennet lifted her face and looked at her husband with teary eyes. Her voice broke into a muffled sob as she said, "Can we go home? I don't feel good."Her body trembled, and she felt weak after encountering the emperor and experiencing strange memories in the water. Her mind and body were in shock.Hue nodded and replied, "Sure, let's go home." He picked her up in his arms and looked at their twins. "We're going home. Mommy needs to rest," he told them.Arro and Arra followed their parents obediently back to their domain, without any fuss about their outing being cut short.Later that evening, Kith visited their domain after receiving a summons from Hue. He discovered that Jennet had fallen ill with a high fever."Did she fall into the water?" asked the doctor as he ran several checks on her."I don't think so," replied Hue, with creased brows.Kith checked Jennet's pulse and observed her expression in silence. Then, he stood up and said, "She will be fine in the morning. Let her get
"Who-" She couldn't finish her sentence when the figure jumped from the balcony. Her heart shrivelled."Don't!" She frantically rushed out of the bed."Honey!" A pair of hands grabbed, pulled and locked her body in a tight embrace. Jennet glanced and saw Hue's worried face. He stood before her, perplexed. She broke into a relieved smile. But, that smile vanished instantly. "Honey, I saw someone jumping from the balcony!" she screamed and shook his arms. Hue furrowed his brows. "My love," he whispered and turned her body facing him. "No one is outside because the balcony is not there. Trust me!"Jennet glanced towards the direction she just pointed. Yes, true to his words, there was no balcony but only glass windows. Her body trembled. "B-but, I saw someone there..." she told him and hoped he'd believe her.Hue inhaled deeply and smiled. "Honey, calm down. Everything you saw was a dream."
Hue smiled as he crawled out of bed and stood before her. He took off the hair band that tied his long mane and it flowed free, dispensing a pleasant scent."Keep your eyes on me..." he said with a smirk."I am keeping my eyes on you," answered Jennet brazenly.Hue, locking his gaze on his wife, popped open the buttons on his shirt from top to bottom. His movement was neither slow nor fast. Then, his flawless skin came into sight. His sexy abs and sturdy pecs glistened under the light from every corner.Meanwhile, Jennet said nothing, but she gulped silently. His abs that she had not touched for weeks were within her reach. She was itching to run her fingers all over the perfect specimen! Hue tossed his shirt away but halted from taking off his trousers as he gave her an alluring gaze."You like to see me getting naked, right?""What do you mean?"Hue tilted his head to the side. "Well, I see you're drooling an
"Miss, your stuff has been delivered into the new house. Thank you for choosing our service. Have great days in your new home." Said the delivery men while smiling at Jennet. It was already past noontime when her stuff was fully delivered into the living room. The delivery men had just walked out from her house and she was escorting them to their truck at the front compound of her villa. Jennet smiled back at them. "I will and thank you for helping me deliver my stuff over here. Have a safe trip back home." She said and waved her hand. They said their thanks again before walking towards the truck. The vehicle left the compound and disappeared at the junction heading towards the heart of the city. Jennet turned her body towards her new home. Her dream house, a glassed wall villa in the forest with a private pool only for her to enjoy. She bought this villa after saving money for five solid years. For all those years, she only stuffed her stomach with f
The next day, Jennet woke up when her phone rang. She opened her sleepy eyes lazily. As if remembering something, she immediately ran her hands under the quilt, searching for her phone. When she failed to locate it, she groaned softly.Her long and straight hair was all over her face when she got on all four limbs on the bed, searching for her ringing phone. She looked around with her hair curtaining the sides of her face.Then, the ringing died.As the sound died, she was in a daze on the bed. She looked around in confusion. The room she was in was dark."Where am I?" She mumbled to herself while still feeling half asleep. The surrounding was not the house that she was used to. Her brows furrowed as she tried to remember something.She tugged her hair until she felt pain on the skin of her head. Then, she nodded her head. "Ahh, I remember. I am in my new house."She slumped back onto the pillows to continue sleeping but the phone rang again
Marvina was pulling a long face when Jennet arrived at the promised place. She was standing outside a food stall while crossing her arms over her chest."You're still alive. I thought the reaper took you to their world." She said half-mocking while staring at the gasping friend who came running towards her from the parking area.Jennet looked at her with a guilty expression. "Marvina, I am so, so sorry! I overslept. Last night, I was busy unpacking my stuff and I forgot to set my alarm." She explained while catching her breath. Beads of sweat were all over her forehead and she immediately wiped it using a handkerchief.Marvina glared at her, walked forwards and immediately hooked her arms around hers. Jennet gulped, waiting for her to say words of curses, but…"Hurry up, order something," Marvina spoke. Her voice softened as she smiled widely.Jennet looked at her, still feeling guilty for being late. But, at the same time, she was confused.
After they stuffed their empty stomach at the food stall, the two of them went shopping together. Since Jennet has been moving into her new home, Marvina accompanied her to buy food supplies. It was already late in the evening when they finish shopping. Jennet drove Marvina to her apartment. Since Marvina stayed at the apartment provided by the company, she stumbled upon her other colleagues who had just return from work. They glanced at her with unhappy expression all over their faces when she dropped Marvina off outside the apartment. Their expression showed disgust and contempt when they saw her driving her car. Marvina knew the atmosphere was getting gloomy as seconds passed. So, she immediately spoke out to Jennet, "Ignore them. Afterwards, you just drive straight home and don't wander around and remember to report duty for tomorrow." Jennet nodded her head with a small smile over her sad looking face. "Okay, and you be careful as well." She said
It was late in the night when Jennet awoke from her sleep. Turning her head to the side, she slowly propelled herself into a seating position on the bed. She heard the sound of the running water from the darkened bathroom. Her brows furrowed, ‘Did I forget to turn off the shower head?’ She questioned herself. She flipped the quilt and slowly stepped out from the bed. Slipping in her slippers, she approached the bathroom. As soon as she pushed open the bathroom door, hot steams gushed out, wrapping her exposed skin with the warm sensation. Suddenly, her heart accelerated. The hair behind her back stood steadily as goosebumps appeared all over her body. She halted where she stood and peeped inside the bathroom. But, there was nothing she could see. Inhaling and exhaling slowly to calm her heart, she finally stepped into the bathroom. However, she came to a halt when she saw a tall figure behind the fogged glass in the shower area. The unknown figure was
