Chapter 47
The next day at the company
Jennet was busy replying to emails from the clients when their department’s manager, Jerome Banner, showed up with a piece of paper. The thirty-five years old man walked towards Jennet and placed the form on top of her desk.
“I need your help in getting the names of associates who would like to join the upcoming trip to Country N. The trip is next week.” He said and smiled.
Jennet took the paper and read through the content. Then, she raised her face, eyeing him. “Why am I the one who is handling this?” The task was supposed to be done by Mira. However, Jerome wanted her to handle it. Won’t Mira get at her later for taking over the task?
Jerome Banner smiled apologetically, “Well, it’s because you’re reliable and you are easy to work with. Plus, I heard you got a ring from Mr Tybelg. Helping me means you’re helping him too.” He winked after glancing at the golde

Luca laughed when her face tightened. “I’m sorry for laughing. You’re just so adorable whenever I see you,” he raised an eyebrow in delight. He continued to adore her awkward mien.Jennet was flustered but, she hid it. She coughed politely to brush away the awkwardness that came to pester her calmness. No one within the company had paid any attention to her. But this man said she was adorable. It would be a lie to say that she was unhappy because she was on cloud nine. Suddenly, Hue’s pouty face came into her mind. The joy that visited her shuffled away in a hurry.“Ahem, it’s unexpected that you would compliment someone like me. I am not as how you pictured me, Luca. You better get it off your head,” she said after she sobered up from the fantasy.Luca played with his glass. “You’re different from the rest of the women I’ve associated with. You’re humble, adorably cute and shy.”

Luca kissed her! No!Luca pulled back a bit, eyeing her wide eyes. His finger caressed her lower lip, “I have always wanted to do that,” he whispered. He leaned towards her again but, she pushed him away.Jennet wiped her mouth hastily as if she had kissed a frog. She wished to flee, to wash her lips because Hue won’t be happy about it if he knew she was kissed by another man. Eh, wait, why did Hue enter the picture now?“Let me out of here!” She cried when the door won’t open when she pushed it. The door was still latched. Luca unfastened her seatbelt and unlatched the door, “Jennet,” he called her name softly. “It’s normal to be frantic after we kissed. I promise to treasure you. So, you don’t have to be on high guard around me.” He leaned his cheek on the steering wheel and smiled, “I, as your boyfriend, will respect your decision if you wish not to make our relationship pub

Jennet inhaled deeply. Gosh, her ears would get all hairy because of his answer. She never agreed to be his woman yet because it would not be going to happen!“Luca, I need to tell you that everything is a misunderstanding. I am-”“I refused to accept any excuse from you. I know you are insecure because of my past relationships. I won’t blame you. But, I am honest about my affections towards you.” Luca butted in with a determined explanation.“But, please listen-”“We’re both not married yet. It’s not a problem between us. Don’t listen to what other people say about us. I am honest. Truly.” Luca continued to stop giving her any room to explain herself.“It’s a misunderstanding!” Jennet cried. “I need to tell you the truth about everything.”“I understand your concern. It was not a misunderstanding from anyone’s side. You’re

Jennet stopped crying. She had not expected to see him burst into tears. That was something that shocked her.Hue ignored the confused look on her face as his eyes roamed her body from top to bottom. “Tell me, had anyone hurt you?” The expression on his face embodied concern. Tears still flow down his cheek like streams.Jennet bit her lips, her thought shuffled. Then, she shook her head, “I’m used to their abuse. But, I could die for real because of you.” She blamed him.Due to the blame, Hue broke into tears again. He sobbed as his body trembled. His handsome face was wet with tears, and he looked so pitiful. Gosh, pity knocked on Jennet's heart.Jennet bit her inner lips, pushing pity away. It was not the right time to ogle his adorable crying face. Just because he had a look that could swoon anybody does not mean he could escape punishment for his wrongdoings. She must pass the judgement on him, at all cost!Hue ra

Growl!A piece of mood-killing music resounded, stunning the couple, and they looked at each other speechlessly. The sound was so loud. It was clear it came from Jennet’s belly. The orchestra team in her belly continued to play the same music, sending alarming news to the husband.Mayday, Hunger had emerged!On reflex, Jennet pushed Hue away from her body. She rolled to her side, back facing him, and covered her red face because embarrassment was laughing at her pitiful state.“Homewrecker…” Hue cursed in his breath as he sat down on the bed. The surprise that took him a moment ago had reverted his eyes to their original colour. His mood had gradually changed to how he was before his fit of madness.“Homewrecker!” He got off the bed, rearranged his messy attire and hair. “Hunger in this house is not to be tolerated. It must be taken down at all cost!” He said, angry at the hunger that befriende

Meanwhile, in the living room, Hue failed to focus on the telly as he kept wiping away the sweat that trickled down his temples and his neck. He felt discomfort everywhere. Plus, the heat around him was maddening.He glanced at the empty cup on the table. Suspicion came into his mind. So, he took the cup and sniffed it. But, he failed to sense any smell because to smell and to breathe was both a hassle for him due to his heavy breathing.He went to the kitchen and chugged on cold water, glasses of it when a maddening thirst tormented his throat with dryness. Sadly, water alone could not ease both the thirst and the heat on his body. He was perturbed when his vision came and went like a zephyr, colluding his mind with endless suspicion. “Was I poisoned?” A thought knocked on his conscience. The tea he had earlier was quite the unusual one. But, since it was prepared by the woman he loved, he took it without any thought. He took it because he ap

(Warning! This chapter contains mature content.)Jennet gazed back at him, who looked like a beautiful wet doll in her eyes.“I am yours,” she announced, “so, stop questioning me!” She growled at him when annoyance manifested in her heart. Even when she had made up her mind, he dared to test her patience by asking the same question again.Hue broke into a smile without breaking the gaze between them. “Very well, my love. I love you for eternity, and even if you decided to get mad at me in the morning, I hope that you do not chase me out from here.” He whispered a desperate plea.“If I forget, you can always remind me that you are saving me,” Jennet said and kissed his jawline, and his fair neck.Hue was completely controlled by lust. He wrapped his arms around her body, entrapping her. His fingers ran amok in her hair, arousing her. Wet smacking sounds filled the room as the couple engaged in a passio

Ring! Ring! The phone rang, breaking the silence inside the quiet bedroom. On the bed, movements were coming from under the thick blanket. When the ringing died, the movements stopped. However, when the phone rang again, a blond head emerged. Hue looked around him with droopy eyes. His sight fell on Jennet, who slept soundly beside him and, from the look of it, she would not be waking up soon. A smile broke on his handsome face as he kissed her on the forehead. Her radiant and bright face brought bliss into his heart. Then, he flipped the blanket and stepped out, stark naked. He approached the screaming phone on the dressing table. After grabbing the phone, he saw a name on the screen, Marvina. Oh, Jennet’s only friend. Hue smiled. He pressed the phone to his ear, and a roaring voice of an angry woman broke through the speaker. “Jennet, where are you?! Do you know what time it is now? Are you still at home?” The angry voice
