Chapter 14 Passion and Destiny (2/2)

Jess love the way his hands caress every inch of her body. She's definitely sure she will be able to sleep well tonight, in Adam's arms.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The two lovers woke up in bliss early in the morning.

”Good morning, Jess” he murmured on her ears lovingly.

”Good morning, Adam” she replied back in sleepy voice. Then she snuggled back to his body craving for his warmth.

”You want to sleep some more?” he asked.

”Yeah, give me another few minutes,” she replied.

The truth is she no longer be able to sleep. Something is bothering her since yesterday. She remembers one important issue she and Nana Aida discussed on the way to Saint Vincent town.

”Tell me more about your brother, Prince Zain,” she said.

Adam's body suddenly stiffened by the mentioned of his older brother's name.

”Why you suddenly asked about him, Jess? Why you suddenly become interested in him?” he asked, uneasiness starts to creep into his countenance.

”Your beloved parents want me and your older brother to get married someday-? That am supposed to be his future bride?” she presses on.

Adam did not speak. He knew that he committed a big mistake, getting into a romantic relationship with Jessy is violating his parent's rules. They made it clear that Jess is meant for his older brother, her future bride. He betrayed his brother, but he did not regret every second he spent with her. She is the love of his life, the only reason his pathetic life is worth living.

”Am sorry, Jess.” His voice resonates with pain and shame.

”Why are you sorry? Sorry for what? Sorry that you betrayed your brother? Or... you are sorry you love me?” she asked him, a bit alarmed. She does not like his forlorn reaction, it affected her deeply.

”Am sorry that I did not tell you about it. I want you all for myself. Am jealous of my brother, he got to spend eternity with you, while I will rot in my grave...alone and pathetic...forgotten,” Adam said, he no longer tries to hide the sadness in his eyes.

”Hey, don't be jealous with your brother. I will not marry him. Besides I feel nothing for him. I am yours. It's you- the one I truly love.” She tries to comfort him by declaring her love and loyalty to him.

”Nah, Jess. You only say that because you have not seen him yet. But if you see him in person you will fall in love with him for sure. He is very handsome and any girl will fall for him.”

Jess brows knitted. She is getting curious now. ”Really?”

”Yeah,” he said, he does not like the look in her face, he is getting more jealous now.

”C-Can you show me his face?”

Adam debated with himself for a minute, lots of questions are appearing in his mind. What if Jess will like his brother for his looks? What if she will suddenly change? What if she will no longer love him after seeing his brother? Will he be able to bear the pain? He has to protect his heart but he also wants to know her reaction after she sees his brothers face.

With a heavy heart, he waves his hand in the air.

The outline of a man's head starts to form in the air, then after a few seconds, the face of the man and his facial feature can now be clearly seen.

Jess's eyes widen, mouth agape. ”Holy shiit! Your brother is indeed handsome!” she shrieked, like that of a fan seeing his Kpop idol for the very first time. Then she giggles innocently. ”He is cute, actually he is handsome!” she admitted with pure honesty.

Adam gasped, he suddenly reached for his chest, trying to rub his achy-breaky bleeding heart, he feels like a knife start stabbing on it repeatedly. He does not like the way she ogled at his brothers face! It makes him jealous to the core.

Normally women tend to favor good-looking men. Jess falling for him-the ugly beast is against the norm. That is why he falls madly in love with her because she does not care about his looks. She accepted him for what he is, inside and out. But now...he is no longer sure.

Right now he regretted showing her his future husband face...then he felt sad all over. He waves his hand suddenly and his brothers face vanished into thin air.

”Y-You like him?” he finally asked his lady love.

”Hmmm, he is actually good looking, But definitely he is not you. So, I still choose you over him.” She uttered the words sincerely.

In silence, Adam digests her words thoroughly. Then he searched her beautiful face to find the sincerity he desperately wished for.

”Hey, don't be jealous, okay? I love you so much, Adam.” She threw her arms around him. Wanting to reassure him that her love for him is real.

Adam smiled and felt relieved, she seemed to be telling the truth, he will believe her of course! He feels happy...his face is brimming with happiness.

Jessy planted a kiss on his lips cementing her loyalty and devotion to him. ”You silly boy...don't be jealous. Am yours!” she smiled affectionately at him while rubbing his chest tenderly, trying to ease his worries away.

Adam held her hand and planted a kiss on her palms. ”Thank you for loving me, Jess.”
