Chapter 117 - The Kissing

PRESENT TIME: AT THE LAND OF THE DEAD...

“Jasmine!” Jack yelled.

It’s been over 45 minutes since he last saw Jasmine before Osai disappeared with her into a red smoke. He’s left alone with nowhere in mind to go or even what to do.

For the past few minutes, he has been yelling for his wife’s name. No sign of Jasmine and no sign of Osai.

“Jasmine!”

The yelling continued as he kept looking around desperately in search of his beloved wife. He sounded like a broken desperate man. If the land of the dead was a nightmare, this was the worst part of his nightmare.

He’s left alone in the middle of nowhere. There’s nothing much he could do. Osai must have taken Jasmine far away from him and he couldn’t set his eyes on his beloved wife. Perhaps Osai was certain that this could leave Jack broken. After all, he aims to do the bidding of Werewolf Overlord for bringing him back to the land of the dead.

Jack fell to his knees once more. He wipes his tear and then shook his head in disbelief. One thing about him is certain; he isn’t giving up, especially when Jasmine is involved. Deep down in his heart, he wants to see Osai burn in hell for all eternity. ‘Osai will never escape my wrath,’ he said in his heart.

“Jack… Jack…” a prudish voice called out from behind.

Without hesitation, Jack quickly jumped to his feet. He flicked around to see who it was. The feminine voice made him think it was Jasmine but he was disappointed when he made a profile of a lady with a sculpted figure. She has a burnished complexion and was dressed in a white tight gown that made her figure more visible.

“Who are you and how did you know my name?” Jack inquired with curiosity on his face. He has not come across any beautiful lady who looks so real and not transparent since he got to the land of the dead with Jasmine. This was his first time and he was curious about it. In the village of souls that have found rest, they are quite several transparent-looking ladies, but standing before her is a lady that isn’t transparent but looks real just like him.

Jack was still expecting a response from the lady when suddenly she disappeared. He didn’t let fear grip him. He has seen worst than this before. The disappearance of the lady made him more curious.

Not quite long, the lady appeared once more standing face to face with Jack as she started sniffing around.

Jack didn’t say a word but to watch her with a concerned look on his face as she continued sniffing around. He tried as much not to focus on her sculpted figure. The first time he set his eyes on her, he felt seduced by the lady’s appearance and presence.

As Jack was not getting any answers from the lady, he needed to satisfy his curiosity. He opened his mouth to squeeze out yet another question. “Why are you sniffing around?” he asked.

“Shush!” she whispered with her index finger on her lip. Casting her gaze on Jack, her eyes turned red.

Before Jack could realize what was happing, the lady started caressing and kissing him. He wanted to make her stop but it was as if there was something in the mysterious lady he couldn’t resist. The more he tried to stop and push her away, the more she becomes attracted to him.

From caressing to kissing and then back to caressing. Jack has lost his willpower. He couldn’t resist. The kissing and the caressing were new to him as if he has never done it in his life. Trying to make her stop he can’t do that. Deep down in his heart, he knew something wasn’t right. He needed to stop but the more he tried to stop the more he falls deep into the mysterious lady’s arms.

The mysterious lady brought her lips closer to his ear and whispered to him. “You can’t resist me.” She could tell that Jack’s heart belongs to another. She could see how Jack’s heart yells for her to stop but his body couldn’t resist.

After a while, she finally stopped and then grinned.

Seeing her grin at him, he could only see her glowing with a fancy smile on her face which made him desire to be in her arms even when his heart was yelling for her to stop. This isn’t just a spell neither did he drink a love potion. Something isn’t right. Something looks strange but there’s no way he could find out with her charming him with her presence.

“You asked who I was and how I get to know your name.”

She drew Jack closer to herself and wrapped her arms around him. He then started caressing his chest. Her touch was gentle.

“Yes,” Jack replied in a soft tone. He slightly brought his head up to stare into her glowing red eyes. “Will you be kind enough to tell me?” he added very politely.

“Of course, I will tell you if only you will agree to be my groom,” she said kissing Jack.

“I can’t resist you but my heart belongs to another.”

“Your body belongs to me,” she whispered. Grabbing Jack’s hand, she placed it inside her tight white gown and whispered once more, “I’m Essie, Osai’s sister.”
