Chapter 73 - Tricksy Trip

The day of the trip finally approaching. Everyone was excited. They finally have the time to enjoy themselves. They finally got to free themselves from the heavy workload.

This time, Marvina and Jennet had the chance to go on the same group trip. At the same time, Susan and her husband, Jerome Banner also coming along as their group leaders. Mira also joined the same trip.

Inside the airbus, Marvina leaned on Jennet's shoulder, staring suspiciously at the flustered looking friend. She smelt something fishy about her behaviour.

Marvina's nose twitched as she moves closer and sniffed at her, "Your scent of happiness is so strong." She informed which made Jennet flustered even more.

The scent of happiness? Jennet couldn't hide the embarrassment that resides in her.

Marvina raised an eyebrow, hinting her to give her a thorough explanation because an hour ago, this friend of hers was running to the airport, looking so miserable. She had appeared before her looking so messy. Her blouse was not even buttoned properly.

"I'm so sorry for being late!" Jennet apologized to her.

Marvina waved her hand, gesturing her not to worry too much about it. "Stop apologizing. I've done the check-in for you. You just need to do baggage check-in. Here, take your boarding pass." She handed a boarding pass to Jennet which Jennet took with an even vigorous nod of gratitude.

When Jennet nodded non-stop, Marvina gasped in surprise as her eyes focused on her exposed neck. She could see quite a few red marks stamping Jennet's neck that was not covered under her collars.

Looking around in alert, she dragged Jennet further away from the rest of the group while whispering softly to her, "Jennet, you got a few of 'mosquito bites' around your neck."

She rolled her eyes at Jennet the moment she pulled on her collar to cover the 'evidence of her indecency' from prying eyes.

"Ahh," Jennet just realised that she hasn't groomed her neck properly just yet.

Luckily, she brought a concealer along and she managed to hide the proof that she had been with a man. If someone else spotted the 'proof', it will spell another trouble for her. The juicy rumours will become even juicier before she even has the time to explain the truth.

Now, back inside the Airbus, the current time, Marvina couldn't stop herself but to keep asking for an explanation.

"Care to share what happened?" Marvina asked while staring at her suspiciously. She leaned her face even closer to her.

Jennet pushed the leaning face away. "Keep your face away from me." She said, trying not to give her any reply.

She tried to avoid to talk with Marvina at the moment because she still couldn't forget the disaster that she had went through early this morning.

***

Many, many hours ago which were very early in the morning...

The sky was still dark and the sun hasn't risen from the east yet. Even animals were still cuddling for warmth among themselves. No one had risen from their deep slumber just yet.

Back at the villa by the hill, on the first floor, it was all dim. But, from the upper floor where the curtains were not yet drawn, there came a faint cry of a woman. A cry that was mixed with a continuous moan that could make whoever listened, blushing in deep red.

On the room upstairs, inside the glassed wall bathroom that was filled with hot steam, there were two figures, standing against each other. One of them is pressing the other party against the wall.

"Hmm, honey...slow down...haa...ahhh! "Jennet gasped. Her voice was outrun by the sound of running hot water from the tap. Her upper body was pressed against the glass wall and she was rocked from behind by her lustful husband.

Hue rested his chin on her left shoulder and he whispered, "This is an advance punishment for you for leaving me here." He rolled out his tongue and licked her earlobe, teasing her. While at it, he didn't stop his movements, he tightened his grips over her waist and kept ramming her so deeply like a bull in heat.

Jennet bit her lips and pressed her cheeks against the wall. But, moans kept coming out of her mouth, betraying her over and over again.

"Slow down...mmmm!" She wasn't able to speak properly and she forcefully bit her own hand, to stop herself from moaning out loud. Every time she tried to speak, Hue fastened his movements making her so distracted to even speak.

Hue only stopped pounding on her when her knees gave up to support her body. She collapsed on the floor, panting hard. Her cheeks were rosy red and her dampened skin only made her looking so awfully seductive in his eyes.

If the glass walls were granted the ability to speak or to move, it would have already screamed at the top of its lung and running away after witnessing the indecency that happened in front of it. However, it can only stay static and accept whatever is there to witness.

Hue got on one knee and pulled her face towards him, directly clasping her mouth with his. A light blue light entered Jennet's mouth when he did so. He had shared his energy force with her again. This will be the fourth time he shared his energy force with her in only three days.

Jennet pushed him away hastily and said, "I need to get ready for my trip today. Let me take my bath." She panted and pushed him again when he tried to kiss her.

"There's still a few more hours before your plane leaves the country. Let's kill the time by making love passionately because I don't want to waste the energy that I have just given to you." Hue answered to her and scooped her up in his strong arms.

"No!" Jennet cried in panic. She struggled to get away from him but Hue had taken her to the bed and continued with their next round of lovemaking activity.

Pants and moans filled the room followed by low groans from the husband who had his released inside the wife at the end of every round.

"Hello? Jennet?" Marvina waved a hand over Jennet's face when she realized her face was steaming red. But, there was no reaction from her, only her face gotten redder by the second.

"Earth to Jennet!" Marvina flicked her forehead. Jennet cried in pain shortly after that. Her reaction was also quite slow than normal.

Marvina flicked her forehead again, "Whatever were you thinking in your head, keep your act together." She nagged.

Jennet raised her head showing her red forehead due to the hard flick that she had just received.

She looked at Marvina with a serious-looking expression but the redness on her cheeks couldn't hide the fact that she had imagined something indecent.

"I'm sorry, what were you saying just now?" She asked solemnly with a straight face. She was clearly and totally distracted!

Marvina sighed. 'Ah, what had happened to my friend after meeting that handsome creature? Something must have happened between them. My friend had changed now. '

She stared back at Jennet showing a face full of sympathy. "Buckle your safety seat belt, please. We're about to take off." She reminded her again.

However, Jennet was totally in a daze. She didn't move a muscle and Marvina had gotten worried again. She really had not paid attention to what she had said. Marvina knew her mind was already flying away from her body.

Marvina glanced at her and poked at her shoulder, "Do you still remember how to buckle your own safety belt?" She asked.

Jennet nodded her head, "Yes, I do." She replied softly with a crystal clear eyes, but there were no emotions in them. Her movements were static as if she had been controlled and she moved like a robot.

Her mind had left her body!

Marvina signed ever harder. If this keeps going on, Jennet won't be able to stay focus on her career. Her friend had changed drastically and she found out this change was quite unacceptable.

She glanced at her again and reminded her, "Remember, we're going for a fun trip and forget about your lover at the moment. When we return, you can do whatever your heart desires."

Jennet nodded her head and before long she seemed to recall something important. "He's not my lover. He's my husband." She corrected with a stern glare shooting at her friend.

Marvina frowned. Urgh, what happened to her?

A few days ago, Jennet was so against the idea of acknowledging Hue as her husband, but now, it turned into a different story.

But, she still nodded her head in agreement to what Jennet had said thinking that her friend wasn't in her right mind.

"Yes, yes, he's your husband. I got it. But, I want you to keep cool about your husband, okay? We finally got to go on the same trip this time and I don't want you to ignore me. You got what I mean?" Marvina waved her hand in front of Jennet's eyes, trying to gain her attention from getting adrift even further into the world of a daze.

"You want me to spend my time with you. I got it." Jennet answered flatly without any emotions pounded in her tone.

Marvina smiled after listening to her replies, "Correct."

She snuggled to her and giggled happily. "We can have a long talk back at the hotel because I have always wanted to know all of your secrets."

"I have no secrets," Jennet answered again.

"I'm not listening. You can tell me everything when we arrived in Country N when there's no one around."

***

Luca inhaled a deep breath as soon as the meeting ended that evening. He called Felix on his phone to fetch him from the meeting venue.

After the incident three days ago, he didn't dare to sleep alone in his hotel room. He even didn't dare to eat inside his own room and prefer to dine at the restaurant instead. All of the time, he had always had Felix to accompany him.

Felix arrived shortly after he made the call. The personal assistant of his had just come back from the airport, after transferring all of their staffs for check-in at a hotel.

"How're the arrangements with the groups?" Luca asked and stared out the window when Felix drove away from the meeting venue.

"Everything was smoothly done," Felix reported.

"How about the other thing that I asked for. Anything positive?" Luca asked again.

"Negative." Felix answered straightforward, "After you received your meals in the room, no one else entered or exited your room. It seemed you disappeared from your room instead." He explained.

Luca massaged his temples. That's impossible. Somebody must have tampered with the security camera in front of his room. He's a grown man and he could not disappear in a blink of an eye from his own room.

"How about the other hotel?" He kept asking. He was getting even uneasy at the back seat.

"Also negative. The room you're in was an out of service room and it was not for sale that day. So, no one even realized you're inside that room. Even the security camera showed it's just you who ran out of the room and no one left the room before you. Everyone in the hotel was clueless about the incident because they didn't see you approaching the front desk for check-in. You just appeared and startled everyone when you ran out of the room for check-out." Felix kept explaining with ease. His eyes focused on the road and his hands handled the steering wheel with professionalism.

"Then, have you try to search for the woman that I have described?" He asked another question that he had been dying to ask.

"I did as well, sir. But no information found about her. She seemed not to exist because there was no record about her or those who had the same features closer to her like how you had described."

Luca's heart sank the moment he heard about all of the negative news from Felix. He felt about wanting to scream in frustration but he couldn't let himself do it.

Who slept with him that night then? He couldn't possibly be sleepwalking that night. Somebody must have stopped him if he did.

But, who could explain about his sudden disappearance from his own room and then reappeared inside another room at another hotel that was located a few miles away from each other?

He still remembered her beautiful face and he couldn't even forget her alluring smile. The trait about her that he had pinned inside his memory was her captivating jade-blue eyes and her long blond hair but more than that, he holds no interest in her at all although she had those huge 'melons' on her chest.

All that he cared for at the moment is to find out about her identity and what she aimed for by getting closer to him. Also, he had to make sure she didn't conceive after spending a night with him. He didn't want to have a forced marriage with an unknown woman when he had finally found the woman that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

Luca leaned back on the seat with his eyes closed, "Do you believe in me, Felix?" He asked, wanting to know if Felix had faith in him.

"I do sir," Felix replied.

"Then," Luca raised his head and stared at Felix from behind, "...do you think I'm crazy?" He asked again. He wanted to know if Felix had, even a tiny bit, thought that he had gone crazy.

Felix glanced back at him from the mirror. He saw Luca's worried expression. He had never seen him looking so worried like that.

"I have no doubt in you, so my answer is, I don't believe you're crazy." He answered truthfully. "Everything has an explanation to why it happened. It's only a matter of time to get to know the truth."

Luca felt satisfied with his answer. He smiled widely, "Thanks, Felix. That's all that I want to know." He said and patted his shoulder from the back.

"I have never seen you like this, Luca." Suddenly Felix opened a conversation between then. Also, this will be the first time he addressed Luca with his given name.

For the long years, they had been working together, Felix had never initiated, even the smallest, conversation with him. Felix had always given him short answers to all of his questions. In short, Felix had always been a man of few words.

But, after he found out Luca had gone missing from his room, he became ecstatic. He was like a mad mute man when he tried to talk to the front desk but no one seemed to get what he wanted to say since he only said a few words that couldn't be related at all.

During that time, he ended up spending his time in the security room, going through every footage just in case his boss was kidnapped when he wasn't paying any attention to it.

That time, when Luca called him that afternoon from another hotel, he was in shock. He felt so ashamed as a personal assistant for not able to know that his boss had been 'kidnapped' to another hotel and even found out that his boss had been 'molested' by an unknown woman; from what he heard from his boss' explanation.

Although he was confused about the real situation he trusted Luca Tybelg because Luca had never lied to him. The thing about being molested by that indecent woman made Felix getting annoyed in silence.

He wanted to teach that woman a few lessons for molesting his boss. He had secretly made plans to lure the woman out because his gut told him that she still hasn't left the country after what she had done. He believed that she had to keep an eye out for Luca Tybelg during this time.

Felix knew she will appear again and when she does, he will spare no mercy on her for all of the crude things she does to his boss.
