Chapter 65 Reversed Dream
Mira raised her tear-stricken face and shook her head. “Nah, I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.”
“But why are you crying? Are you ill? Are you hurt?" Lena kept asking. She was assigned to take care of her. She takes her job seriously. She must know everything about her charge.
Mira needs to come up with a lie fast because Lena will not stop asking her. “Um, I watched a romantic film earlier and it had some sexual abuse scenes and triggered my horrific past. I began crying hard and I turned off the TV because I don’t want to be reminded of my painful past anymore. That’s the reason why I’m crying,” she explained sadly.
Lena sighed. “Ah, okay. I thought something bad happened to you. I will blame myself for it.”
“Don’t say that…” she said, glad she came up with a believable lie pretty fast.
“I was having a conversation with the cook. We discuss family problems, the reason why I was not able to return here quickly. I’m sorry for that,” Lena said apologetically.
“It’s okay, you can spend time in the kitchen as much as you like,” Mira said, wiping tears from her eyes. She lay down on the bed.
“I’ll get your milk from the kitchen. I’ll be back in a moment,” Lena said and left the room.
A few moments later, Lena returned with a glass of milk.
After drinking milk, Mira said, “I’m going to rest and sleep.”
“OK. Sweet dreams,” Lena replied. She went to the bathroom to brush her teeth. Afterward, she lay down on the sofa bed to sleep for the night.
Mira faces the wall, wide awake. She wondered what Alpha Gideon was doing right now. Was he thinking of her? Was he sleeping already? Or was he with his siblings?
She released a deep sigh.
Good thing Lena was having a conversation with the cook and returned late to the room or else how can she explain to her why the door was locked?
She and Alpha Gideon were having quick sex earlier and it felt so good. She blushed. Her core throbbed deliciously as she remembered every detail of their intense lovemaking. Just imagining their hot sex made every fiber of her being come alive.
She wants a repeat of their steamy escapades soon.
If she could be with Alpha Gideon 24/7 they could make love anytime and all the time in their bedroom. All her wildest fantasies will turn into reality.
Well, she is technically married to Alpha Gideon…but…there is one problem and that is Luna Rosie. She can make her life miserable in the mansion.
If only Luna Rosie’s soul hadn't been reborn into her body, things might have been different. She can continue to pretend she lost her memories and later on, things will be alright between her and Alpha Gideon. Sad to say, that's not what happened.
Luna Rosie was reborn into her body and she will never stop making her life miserable if she attempts to have contact with her husband.
What does she really want?
She wanted peace but also wanted Alpha Gideon to love her openly so they could spend more time with each other, but that’s not going to happen as long as Luna Rosie is still alive.
Sigh.
Maybe Alpha Gideon was right. They should stop what they have started so they can live and coexist in the mansion peacefully.
Well, if he is serious about avoiding her, she should do the same.
But she did not seek his attention. He came to her room of his own accord. It was not her fault that they were both carried away by the strong attraction they felt towards each other.
What they feel for each other is natural, not forced and she likes it. Too bad her fantasy will stop tonight.
No more orgasmic steamy session with Alpha Gideon, the man of her dreams.
Sigh.
She should start forgetting him for her own peace of mind.
But why does her heart refuse to obey the commands of her mind? Her heart only beats for him.
She can still remember the taste of his lips, his tongue ravaging her mouth. The way his mighty hands stroked her breasts, the way he deliciously entered her core from behind, ahhh so goood! Just thinking about their intimate moments together makes her clit throb deliciously, and the image of his erect cock poking at her entrance makes her wet instantly.
Damn!
She is shameless beyond saving. All she can think of right now is him and his swollen cock and how good their shagging was.
She sighed inwardly. She better sleep now. Maybe tomorrow she can stop thinking about him. But tonight it's hard to ignore those erotic flashbacks in her mind because they are still fresh in her mind.
She squeezed her eyes shut. Trying to sleep.
She stared at the wall, trying to reach Alpha Gideon beyond the wall through her mind.
She smiled. She is very much in love with him.
Meanwhile…
In the next room, Alpha Gideon was still wide awake, imagining everything that took place between him and Mira. Technically, he didn't betray his wife because he was making love with his wife’s body.
He felt a mixed emotion, guilt and at the same time he was trying to justify his actions that he was only attracted to Mira because she was inhabiting his wife’s body. If Mira was in her original body, he would never develop romantic feelings towards her.
He always loved his wife Luna Rosie, unfortunately, she turned into someone else and sometimes her bad temper is infuriating to deal with, wearing his patience thin. He had a hard time recognizing his wife in another woman’s body. It didn't feel right at all.
The soul swap had truly messed up his marriage badly.
He struggled everyday, emotionally and mentally. His wife was feeling miserable, turning into a monster day by day, and the only one who didn't get affected much by the soul swap was Mira.
He can’t blame Mira though, she was just a victim of a freak soul swap just like his wife.
That’s why he can’t blame Mira if she wants to be with him because they are husband and wife in the eyes of everyone.
Marrying his wife again in Mira’s body is the only solution to his problem. Once his second marriage happens, maybe his wife will finally learn to relax and accept that she and Mira can co-exist in the mansion as his two wives.
Maybe, after the marriage, the two women can finally reconcile and get friendly with each other.
If that happens his problem will be fixed without needing to find a shaman who can perform the soul swap. Because the truth is, finding a powerful person who can undo the soul swap is impossible.
Absolutely impossible, that’s what his father told him yesterday.
But he can’t tell his wife the painful truth yet because he doesn't want her to feel depressed and miserable worsening her temper.
He sighed heavily, staring at the ceiling of his room.
But he had already told his wife that even if they got married, he wouldn't pursue a romantic interest in Mira. She forced him to make that promise and now he was regretting it because being with Mira and having sex with her felt so good. He was not repulsed when they made love despite knowing he was making love with another soul.
The problem is…their arrangement is complicated. He won't have an enjoyable sexual life with his wife anymore because he doesn't like having sex with her. Her face is the biggest let down. He doesn't like her at all.
Having sex with his wife is a torture for him, while having sex with Mira feels so right.
How long can he endure living with his wife, waking up everyday and seeing her face while the woman he craves is in another room waiting for him?
That’s like lifetime torture!
The truth is they will never have peace of mind if the three of them live under the same roof.
The best solution to their living arrangements is for Mira to stay in the bungalow house near the man-made lake while he and Rosie remain in the mansion. This way, he can visit Mira anytime he wants without Rosie’s knowledge.
If it’s the only way they can have peace, so be it.
The more he thinks about the arrangement, the better he feels about it.
Rosie is a bit sadistic when she gets mad. She slapped several maids in the past because they had angered her. She would not hesitate to hurt Mira again if her jealousy and anger were triggered. He wants to avoid that happening again.
The closer Mira is to them, the easier it will be for his wife to hurt her.
The bungalow house is the safest place for Mira to stay, far away from his wife.
There is no need for him to deny himself the pleasure of being with Mira. He won’t torture himself anymore, he will establish a romantic relationship with her soon.
His wife must learn to accept that it’s impossible for him to avoid Mira. His wife must be open minded and learn to share him with Mira.
But if one day a shaman can be found and undone the swap between the two women then he will divorce Mira because that is what he promised his wife.
Right now, his wife is in the hospital getting ready for surgery tomorrow morning. He needs to be there early so he can talk to her before surgery begins.
He was about to turn off the light and go to sleep but his phone rang. When he checked the caller it was his wife.
He answered, “Hello, my love.”
“My love, are you still awake?” Luna Rosie asked.
“Yeah. I’m about to go to sleep but my phone rang and you called me. How about you? Why are you still awake?” he asked.
“I can’t sleep,” she replied. “I keep tossing and turning in my bed. I feel restless," she said in a tone filled with worry.
“Why? What are you thinking about? What’s worrying you?” he asked.
“I don't know."
“Is the hospital bed not comfy enough for you?” he inquired.
“The bed is comfy, and the room is clean and spacious. I have everything I need here. Just that I can’t sleep, I dunno why,” she said in distress.
He asked, “Are you worried about the surgery happening tomorrow morning?"
“Not really. I trust my surgeon. Um, the truth is I was thinking about you and Mira.”
“Huh? Why are you thinking about me and Mira?”
“I don’t know. I’m just getting paranoid. I feel that now that I’m no longer in the mansion you will try to talk to her. Am I right or am I wrong?” she asked, fishing for information.
He heaved a sigh. “Stop thinking about me and Mira. We are not doing anything wrong here. Just go to sleep and prepare yourself for tomorrow's surgery,” he said calmly.
“OK. I will sleep now. Good night, my love, dream of me,” she said gloomily.
“Night Night. See you tomorrow,” he replied.
“I love you,” she said affectionately.
He replied, “I love you too. Go to sleep now.”
“OK.” Luna Rosie ended the phone call at her end.
After talking to her husband on the phone, Luna Rosie finally turned off the light in the room and shut her eyes to sleep.
She drifted into a deep slumber fifteen minutes later.
She dreams in her sleep.
In her dream, she was Mira the maid serving her mistress Luna Rosie. Their lives were reversed in her dream.
She hated every minute of it.
