Chapter 48
“You won’t call me monk fish anymore? You won’t say my hips are uneven again? You will speak gently to me and Lisa? Do you agree?” she asked in amusement.
“Yup! I agree.” he said in a tired voice.
“Your face is red as a monkey’s butt, do you agree?”
“Yes!”
“You will go to work in a sexy maid’s uniform tomorrow to fulfill Lisa’s wish, do you agree?”
“Y… Yes!”
“Will you apologize to Evelyn in such outfit tomorrow?”
“Yes! Now can you turn around?” he asked impatiently.
“If I do, does it solve your wardrobe problem? And would you want your workers to see you bare? Huh?”
“I…”
Vanessa stretched her hands and a red sexy lace pantie appeared. She threw it at him and turned around with amusement.
“The choice is yours. Wear it or not? Besides, it’s brand new.”
She then flew out of the basement with a nosebleed.
“Gosh! That was tough. Sorry Mr. Jack,, but I had to get my revenge on you.” she cleaned the blood with a white hanky.
Jack on the other hand looked conflicted. He absolutely couldn’t wear that.
“Damn you, Vanessa!” he swore under his breath.
“Albert, just… do your thing. I’ll bear it.” he said with resignation.
Vanessa flew to her room and picked up the blanket. She then returned to the basement entrance only to hear painful groans.
“Oh my… she threw the blanket inside the basement without entering.
“I’m sorry, Mr Jack!” she immediately fled.
Jack who was halfway done with his transformation collapsed with tiredness.
This Vanessa was indeed his bane!
He managed to make the blanket fly to him and he wrapped his bare body in it. Then he struggled to rise.
“This damn fairy couldn’t even wait to render assistance.”
“Mr Jack, can I come in? You should be clothed by now if I’m right.” he heard her yell from outside the basement.
“You… just come in without your fairy form.” he said with gritted teeth.
“Okay!” she entered in human form cautiously.
“Hurry, come help me up.” he commanded.
She walked slowly to him and helped him stand up but his feet suddenly lacked strength and the blanket loosened.
His instinct was to pull her with him as he fell to the floor.
“Mommy? Daddy?” a soft voice was heard and both stared at her in shock.
“Lisa, we’re playing a game for adults.” Vanessa gave a lame excuse with a dry laugh.
“Oh, can I join too?” Lisa still looked sleepy.
“Er… no go back to sleep.” Jack stammered.
“Ok. See you tomorrow.” the little one flew back to her room and lay sprawled on the bed.
Seeing that she’d left, Vanessa tried to get up but Jack held her arms.
“Don’t get up yet. I have some questions to ask you.”
“In this position? Your thing… down south, is poking me. I’m uncomfortable here. Let me get up.” she complained.
“Me too, but first, you have to promise me one thing.”
“What is it?”
“All the things I said ‘Yes’ to earlier, are now null and void. Do you agree?”
“You… I agree!”
“Now close your eyes and get up. Then turn around.”
After she’d followed his instructions, he wrapped himself tightly in the blanket.
“Turn around and help me.” he commanded.
********
An hour later, both sat in Jack’s study discussing and answering each other’s questions.
Vanessa had found out how Lisa came to be under his care even though he wasn’t her true father.
Four years ago, a woman with red hair came and alleged that he had impregnated her. She was 7 months due and made a big fuss.
He accepted her to stay in the home till the baby is born. Then tests would be done to prove if he was the father or not.
When the child was born, it was a beautiful female who looked like him which confused him as he could swear he was still a virgin.
When Lisa was a month old, he conducted a paternity test and found to his shock that he wasn’t the father.
He got further confused at how it was possible for a non-blood to carry his face.
He argued with the lady who finally confessed that she was the queen of a faraway kingdom in another planet. She had few days left to live and wanted to hand her princess to someone with power to protect her.
He was angry at being deceived and wanted to kick them out but she begged him immensely.
She gave him her locket saying that it should always be with the little one.
Then she placed a red orb in his hand and told him to look at the full moon in five days. Then she passed away in his arms.
Although he was mad, he had to take careof Lisa who as the days passed came to look more and more like him.
She wouldn’t let anyone except him feed or bathe her. He had to babysit her while doing his Ceo duties and cried a lot, often disturbing him.
Then on the fifth day, he took the orb and looked at the full moon only for him to transform into a wolf that night. When he transformed back the next day in front of his most loyal shadow bodyguards, he was nude.
He had to deal with Lisa’s annoying cries for a long time after that.
Only when she was two before she let go of him and clung to the nannies.
Every full moon he transforms and has to eat agonizing pain. His hatred for Lisa kept increasing as she was the child of that woman and another man.
It was 7 months ago that he discovered she was a healer after placing the locket around her neck.
“So you both hate and love Lisa?” Vanessa asked.
“Yeah, kind of! She’s a cute little one but she pisses me off a lot and thinking of the pain I have to eat every full moon, I just wanna whack her to death but I can’t. Vanessa, you are a flame fairy. My wolf type is scared of your flames of Nirvana. A bite from you is what triggered everything. But, I’m sorry for trying to kill you. It won’t ever happen again, I promise.” Jack said with palms pressed together.
“It’s fine. I admit that I wanted to take revenge on you earlier.”
“Me too, Vanessa though I think I kinda went overboard with him. You know what I mean.”
“You know if you didn’t release me in time, I would return back to my fairy self.” she said with a ‘Hmph!’
“So, is your bestie also a fairy like you?” he asked.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“She is a twin element fairy-ice and wind lotus fairy.”
“Oh! She isn’t my opponent at all. You are. But don’t tell her my secret. I’ll tell you one to be even. You ever heard of Nelson Woodley?”
“Yup! I wanna beat him up for his disrespect to ladies.”
“He is a wolf too but his is a fiery blood wolf that is as twisted as his personality.” Jack confessed.
“Oh! Now we are indeed even. Let’s pinky swear not to tell our secrets to another soul.” she suggested.
“Nope! I’m a man of my word.” he said and she rolled his eyes.
“That was earlier… I felt it was unfair so I didn’t keep my word but this is a serious matter. We can’t let our secrets make news okay?”
“I’m not dumb. So… can we be friends?” she asked.
“I… it’s fine to be business friends.” he replied after a while.
‘It’s late! Gonna catch some sleep after wiping the memories of any servant who saw our episode.” she yawned and left.
“Thanks!’ he muttered and sighed.
He checked the date on his phone. In a weeks time, he’d be transforming again on the full moon night. Sigh! What an unlucky month.
The next morning, Lisa came downstairs to see her dad waiting for her in the living room. He was reading a book about business politics.
“Daddy!” she ran to hug him.
He picked her up and kissed her forehead.
“Daddy is sorry for the past. I promise that fro now on Daddy will be good to you.” h swore.
“And mummy?” Lisa asked.
“Yup! I won’t fight with her anymore. In fact, we are now friends.” he said.
“Father and daughter, come get your food. It’s set.” Vanessa called from the dining room.
“Yay!” Lisa left her dad’s embrace and headed to the dining room excitedly, causing Jack to sigh and rise to his feet.
That day, the three went to the city’s zoo to admire animals and then relax in the national garden.
Jack felt satisfied for the first time!
