Chapter 43: SPD

Lucian had been feeling a little angry from the time when he caught Lily looking at Jasmine's photo on his computer, so Lucian deleted some of the files from Lily's computer after others had just submitted them to him.Lily tried to ask for help from the technical department to recover the files but they weren't able to do anything so in the end, he was held accountable for it and was asked to do all the work by himself, hence he was working so late.

*KNOCK* *KNOCK*

Just then Lucian heard a knock on the door, taking in a deep breath he shut the computer and walked up to the door, he clutched the door knob and then slowly opened the door. Sёarᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Scarlett was standing on the other side of the door, it was comical how she could always wear that cold expression on her face in every situation, she was holding a couple of bags in her hand.

" Come inside. " Lucian said as she walked in.

" These are the clothes you asked me to buy, but in my opinion, I think they would be a little loose for you- " Scarlett began to speak but was interrupted by Lucian.

" Did I ask for your opinion? " He said and put all the clothes away, these were casual and gym clothes since his current ones would be too tight for him soon.

" ...Do you need anything else? " She asked, Scarlett had not gotten used to him yet and he was the only one who was treating her like this.

" No, that's all for now. " He replied, and after a nod, Scarlett walked out of the room closing the door behind her.

*KNOCK*

Just when Lucian was about to hit the bed, there was another knock on the door, feeling irritated he walked up to the door and opened it while speaking:

" Why are you here again- uhh " But the gate was only half opened when a strong sweet scent hit his senses, it was an intoxicating scent that made Lucian want to just close his eyes and enjoy it.

Even before seeing the person on the other side of the door, Lucian knew it was not Scarlett but it was his wife, Jasmine.

"..." Jasmine's doll like face was as emotionless as ever, after staring at him for a few seconds she walked inside.

Lucian wondered if she was angry after seeing Scarlett walking out of the room, but he calmed his mind and decided to act like the original Lucian to her.

" Why are you here again? You don't have to bring fruit for me every day. " Lucian said his voice filled with coldness, he just wanted her to go away from him.

Whether it was intentional or not, but just like Zero had said, she brings bad luck to people around her and this special trait of hers could as well bring him much closer to death. So, he wanted to stay away from her even if she could be useful for him in the future.

And she is the only woman- no, the only person who could make Lucian's heartbeat skip like that, the only one who makes him feel fear.

" I am not here to give you fruits today. " Jasmine spoke, her tone soothing to ears yet at the same time hollow.

" Then did you just come to see me? If so then please leave, I need to sleep now. " He questioned.

" No I am not here just to see you, I am here to sleep with you. " Jasmine spoke these words without so much of a change in her expression, as if it was just a normal thing.

On the other hand, Lucian felt shivers. Sleeping with her meant a sweet but certain death. He had just started to enjoy his new life, so he did not want to die just yet. He was already missing Natasha's warmth and care.

" N- No we can't. Actually, I haven't told you before but I have a disease named SPD it's very rare but deadly.

And it means sex prohibited disease, so if I do anything like that then it could make me blind or possibly burst my brain and I am currently on my pe- anyway it would be very bad if you force me to do that. I'll call my mo-."

Lucian had prepared some lines in case Jasmine asked him to re-create their first night, but because of the nervousness, he messed it all up.

Lucian's robot like reply was interrupted by Jasmine's words, as she spoke: " I am only asking to sleep beside you. "

" Ah So that's what you meant, you should have said so from the start, got me all worried for nothing. " Lucian said, wiping the sweat off his forehead and releasing a long sigh.

" But what is SPD? I have never heard about it before, should I call some doctors for you? "

Among all the things he said she had only paid attention to that, but unfortunately Lucian was too afraid to see her worry about him. Though Jasmine wasn't aware of what love and care truly are.

" It's nothing, but can we not sleep together? I have some bad sleeping habits you know. " Lucian asked in a pleading tone.

" No. " Jasmine spoke in a resolute tone, she took one day to find the correct manner to approach Lucian, and finally she found a few things.

Only now did Lucian noticed that Jasmine was not wearing her usual business suit but she was wearing a loose nightdress like the kid's ones, it was purple in colour and was matching with Lucian's clothes, she looked way too beautiful and cute.

Before he knew it, the reason behind the fast beating of heart changed from fear to something completely different, trying not to stare at her for too long he averted his gaze away from her, calming his wildly thumping heart.

Jasmine was observing all of his actions, and seeing him stare at her made her feel quite... nice, for reasons unknown to her.

This type of feeling was completely new to her but she wanted more of it, a whole lot more, this was just the start of her getting completely addicted to him.

[ If you really don't want to sleep together with her then suggest that one of you will sleep on the bed while the other on the floor. ]

Lucian's mind was not working right now because of the nervousness and closeness to his death or maybe it was just her scent, after reading the words in his head he decided to suggest this to Jasmine.

" You only want to sleep in the same room right? Then I'll sleep on the bed and you can sleep on the floor. " Lucian spoke with hope in his eyes.

[...]

[ Seriously? Aren't you the man? Shouldn't you be the one to sleep on the floor? ]

' No, I'm not going to sleep on the floor no matter what and this is a reversed World so- ' his thoughts were interrupted by Jasmine's words:

" No, we are going to sleep on the same bed. "

Her words were like an unchangeable fact and speaking anything further was pointless, Lucian could only nod without looking at her.
