Chapter 77 Skeleton! (1/2)

Jessy was quietly observing the rainbow-colored blooming flowers inside the dome garden.

Yet, inside, her mind was submerged in troubled water. She was thinking hard on how to unravel the mystery of the invisible man. They already became so intimate with each other. He got that heavy magnetic pull around him that every time he transforms into Adam she can't resist his advances. It seemed her body has a mind of its own and can't resist his charm.

”Penny for your thoughts?” a male voice broke into her musings.

She looked up to see Zain's smiling face.

”Mind if I sit down beside you?” he asked.

She nodded. ”Go ahead...I won't mind.”

Prince Zain looked at Jessy with apprehension in his eyes.

”Is your shield activated?” he asked.

She turned to look at him frowning. ”Why? Are you going to molest me again?”

”No! Of course not. I'm just puzzled why even if am sitting close to you at this moment I was not being repelled by your shield.”

”You're not doing anything bad to me yet. As soon as you do, you're dead meat!” she glared at him.

Prince Zain laughed a little.

”You performed quite a show the other night. I was not able to sleep well because your seduction tortured and hunted my mind,” he sighed.

Jessy grinned. ”You like it? You want a repeat?” she teased him, tormenting him more in the process.

Prince Zain shook his head. ”Nah, I will wait after our wedding so that I can own you legally.”

She snorted. ”Are you sure I will marry you?”

Prince Zain gave her a confident smile. ”I'm 100% sure. Whether you like it or not you are going to marry me.”

”Okay, as you say so,” she humored him. She was not in the mood to argue with him. There's more important matter she needs to think about. The approaching wedding is another thing and the invisible man is still a big mystery to her.

They sat beside each other in comfortable silence.

Jessy stared at the flowers ahead.

”Why can't you learned to love Hannah?” she finally asked him.

”Why can't you learned to love me?” Zain replied her with his own question.

They stared at each other's face and they both smiled a little.

Then the silence is back, the gloom in their faces returns.

She scanned his face.

”Where you at the funeral when Adam died? You see him buried down in his grave?”

Prince Zain stared at Jessy. ”Yes, why?”

”Who else besides you attended the burial?”

”Mother, my men, and Nanny Aida,” he answered.

She processed his words carefully. She can't ask Zain's mother for more information. She might suspect a thing. That left her with Nanny Aida.

”Is there a chance a vampire will get resurrected after he died?”

Prince Zain shook his head vigorously. ”No. Once died the vampire can no longer return to the living. I yet have to see a vampire resurrected after death. Why you suddenly ask all this?” his brows furrowed.

Jessy didn't reply, she continuous staring at the stunning beautiful orchids in magnificent purple color in front of her.

”Are you hoping and believing my brother can come back to life?” he asked.

Jessy ignored his mocking question.

”You better start forgetting my brother, it's useless hoping and dreaming he is alive. Start accepting me now since I will be the one you will end up in the altar.”

She gave him a painful twisted smile but says nothing.

Prince Zain rose to his feet. ”Feeding time for me, Jess. See you tomorrow, here...same time?”

His face was hopeful, eagerly waiting for a favorable response from her.

For some reason, she didn't want to disappoint him. ”Okay,” she said in a nonchalant manner.

For Zain, her agreement with his simple request meant a lot to him. His face broke into a triumphant smile.

”Thank you-Jess,” he said, his face thankful. The smile of happiness lingers on his face. Then he turned around and strolled towards the dome's door.

She rolled her eyes. She watched his retreating back, deeply puzzled by his sudden display of happiness.

She stayed in the flower dome for half an hour more. Then she rose to her feet and exited the dome in a hurry.

She will visit Nana Aida in the mansion and interrogate her more on what really happened after Adam died and while she loses consciousness.

Jessy entered her room, grabbed her black garments costume and donned them to her body in a haste. She prepared herself for teleportation into the mansion.

When Jessy appeared in front of Nana Aida in the living room, the older woman almost has a heart attack.

”Nana Aida, I miss you so much!” she hugged her Nana.
