Chapter 7: The researcher’s secret (2)
Rose's father passed away from an unknown desease. It caused quite a commotion on why he died mysteriously when he seems to be doing well at some point. Rose is heart broken by the news. But there's always rainbow after such a big storm. Rose is pregnant. She was rejoice by the news and thought it was a blessing from her father in heaven. The duke is also happy by the news. The happy couple is pleased with such wonderful thing, that they throw a big party for their friends and relatives.
Lurking in the shadow, not pleased about the news, Jason frowns. He doesn't want this to happen.
'Just a bit longer... it will be done.'
He bites his lips. He got rid of the old man because he was useless. He was on his plan of get rid of the duke so he can get a hold of her and now she's pregnant. He got to act fast.
Two weeks gone by quickly.
The young duke got a cold. Nothing suspicious going on. Rose is now 6 weeks pregnant. She's getting more and more beautiful everyday. This afternoon, she's having tea in her garden as usual, and she spotted Jason.
"Jason come and have a sit."
Jason nods in response. They quietly have tea together. Soaking in the sunlight, her skin is glowing. Just a bit more and she can be his.
"So Jason, it's been so long since you come and live with us."
Her voice is like a warm sunshine that brighten up his life.
"Do you perhaps take interest in someone here?"
Her questions make him frown.
"Why are you asking?"
She takes a sip of her tea silently.
"You don't seems to wanted to leave the house."
She looks at him.
"Because I indeed fall for someone?"
"Who?"
"The one that is close but yet so far"
Rose chuckles lightly.
"Seems like the quiet Jason can be quite playful."
Their conversation carries on. The moment that they spent together soothes the darkness is his heart but at the same time set ablaze to his desire.
Time passed and Rose is now 10 weeks pregnant. The young duke fall ill of a random cause and is bedridden. The house fall in Chaos, most of the servants left due to the fear of catching the deadly and unknown virus. The once glorious and lively mansion is eerily quiet. Rose sat beside her husband. The once handsome man is now just a frail man on the bed that won't live long.
"Rose, go to bed my love."
"I will soon."
She gently stroke his cheek. The remaining few loyal servants stood back watching with tears in their eyes.
"You are always beautiful."
"And you always the best in my eyes."
"Go to your room. I'm tired, love."
That night seems normal but what they don't know that it become the night of terror.
Jason step into the duke room quietly. The servants are all probably gone to heaven due to the poisonous cookie that he bake specially. The young man that was once handsome and powerful is not nothing but a death corpse.
'If i were to sent him off tonight, why not give him a companion?'
Companion
With a dagger in his hand, he heads to her room. The sleeping beauty that is unaware of the living world at all.
Her tiny wrists are being held together with a rope. Her legs also tied down to the bed, spreaders wide open.
"It's going to hurt for a bit."
The affect of the sleep portion wear off. The fragile lady opens her eyes to the horror. Her mouth is stuffed with a piece of clothes. She can't talk. She looks at the shadow that looming over her. A familiar present but now is the scariest.
"Don't look at me like that I won't hurt you."
He traces the dagger on to her bumpy stomach.
I'll get rid of this bastard and we will be together.
Her body flinched from the pain when the sharp edge sink into her skin. Tears began to form when he put it deeper. The unbearable pain coming again and again.
"It can be painful but it's nothing compare to what you did to me, my love."
What pain? What did she do to him?
"You were supposed to be mine, but you give yourself to other. And this is the cursed that I shall remove from your body."
The moonlight illuminated his face. Those eyes are cool and there're no trace of emotions in them.
