Ghost Of My Heart

"Miss, your stuff has been delivered into the new house. Thank you for choosing our service. Have great days in your new home." Said the delivery men while smiling at Jennet. It was already past noontime when her stuff was fully delivered into the living room. The delivery men had just walked out from her house and she was escorting them to their truck at the front compound of her villa. Jennet smiled back at them. "I will and thank you for helping me deliver my stuff over here. Have a safe trip back home." She said and waved her hand. They said their thanks again before walking towards the truck. The vehicle left the compound and disappeared at the junction heading towards the heart of the city. Jennet turned her body towards her new home. Her dream house, a glassed wall villa in the forest with a private pool only for her to enjoy. She bought this villa after saving money for five solid years. For all those years, she only stuffed her stomach with f

Marvina was pulling a long face when Jennet arrived at the promised place. She was standing outside a food stall while crossing her arms over her chest."You're still alive. I thought the reaper took you to their world." She said half-mocking while staring at the gasping friend who came running towards her from the parking area.Jennet looked at her with a guilty expression. "Marvina, I am so, so sorry! I overslept. Last night, I was busy unpacking my stuff and I forgot to set my alarm." She explained while catching her breath. Beads of sweat were all over her forehead and she immediately wiped it using a handkerchief.Marvina glared at her, walked forwards and immediately hooked her arms around hers. Jennet gulped, waiting for her to say words of curses, but…"Hurry up, order something," Marvina spoke. Her voice softened as she smiled widely.Jennet looked at her, still feeling guilty for being late. But, at the same time, she was confused.

It was late in the night when Jennet awoke from her sleep. Turning her head to the side, she slowly propelled herself into a seating position on the bed. She heard the sound of the running water from the darkened bathroom. Her brows furrowed, ‘Did I forget to turn off the shower head?’ She questioned herself. She flipped the quilt and slowly stepped out from the bed. Slipping in her slippers, she approached the bathroom. As soon as she pushed open the bathroom door, hot steams gushed out, wrapping her exposed skin with the warm sensation. Suddenly, her heart accelerated. The hair behind her back stood steadily as goosebumps appeared all over her body. She halted where she stood and peeped inside the bathroom. But, there was nothing she could see. Inhaling and exhaling slowly to calm her heart, she finally stepped into the bathroom. However, she came to a halt when she saw a tall figure behind the fogged glass in the shower area. The unknown figure was

Meanwhile, back at the villa, the tall blond-haired person was standing silently on the balcony. He was looking out at the city centre, to where Jennet was. His face, however, was so sullen as he narrowed his eyes to where he was looking at. He gritted his teeth furiously, sulking on his feet. His hands were turned to balls of fist by his side. After a while, he looked away, grunting and then stared at the little figure who stood beside him. "What are they talking about? Why is she so meek when he is around?" He asked, pointing out in the direction of the city. The little figure was a little boy about the age of five to six years old and was about an adult's waist height. He had a pair of beautiful glassy dark blue eyes, chubby cheeks and short black hair. His face was cute but expressionless. He wore a light-green coloured robe. The little boy looked at him and politely answered, "He was asking her out for lunch." His tone was soft but it was enough

It was noon when Jennet realised the time for a break had come long ago. As soon as she remembered it, she hurriedly arranged her messy desk. After that, she ran like a gazelle out of her company forgetting that she wore high heels. Two hours ago, she received a text message from Luca about the place of their meetings. However, she completely forgot to remind herself about the lunch plan. Although the restaurant was only a building away from their company, she was already late for fifteen minutes. Luca must have been waiting for her! As she stepped out of the lift, her phone rang. Luca’s name was on the screen. She gulped as she coughed softly before answering the call in a manner as calm as possible. “Hello, Mr Ty… I mean Luca. I’m on my way now.” She spoke while on the phone as she crossed the zebra crossing. Her mind was in jumbles. It wasn’t clear if she was terrified of the upcoming lunch plan or something else. Unaware of her surrounding, she bu
