Chapter 41: How Dare She Touch My Husband!!!
Outside world...
The sun had set and the crescent moon was slowly climbing up the dark sky as the stars were shining brightly, casting a silver glow over the earth.
However, the beauty of the night sky was hidden from the girl’s eyes, and the only thing she could see was a black space and a countdown that was moving down.
[00:00:03]
[00:00:02]
[00:00:01]
Ding!
[Another hour has passed.]
It was 10:13 PM, and for the last 3 hours she had been sitting on the bed, waiting for her husband to come back, but he still wasn’t there.
[00:59:55]
Now, the fourth hour had begun ever since she came to the room and sat on the bed.
She was getting tired, and a part of her wanted to sleep and not care about what was happening outside.
However, she didn’t do that.
The reason for that was her husband.
She just didn’t want to sleep without hearing his voice or feeling his warmth, so she forced herself to remain awake.
"Nell, come back soon."
A small whisper left her lips, and she hugged her knees closer to her chest.
Her husband had already told her about the time he would be coming back, but still, she couldn’t stop her mind from making her worried, and she kept thinking that something bad might have happened to him.
"System, can you tell me Nell’s condition, or someth–" She was going to ask the system a question but her words were cut short as the screen in front of her eyes changed.
The countdown had disappeared and was replaced by something that made her heart skip a beat.
It was a red alert message that had appeared on the screen.
[
A woman is trying to get close to your husband and is making moves on him.
Her hand is touching your husband’s chest and she is feeling his heartbeat.
...
...
...
...
Alert!!!
She has hidden feelings for your husband and wants to have a relationship with him.
SUGGESTIONS:-
1. Eliminate her. (RECOMMENDED)
2. Destroy her feeling so bad that she never feels it again. (SLIGHTLY RECOMMENDED)
Note: Your choice will not affect Host Nellas, so, choose whichever option you want.]
"T-this..."
For a moment, she didn’t know what to do.
Her fingers were hovering over the screen, and her breathing was uneven as her mind was racing with a thousand thoughts.
’This... What is this? This woman... Is she trying to...’
She could feel the rage and jealousy filling her heart. The more she read the message, the angrier she became.
Her brows furrowed, and her eyes were burning with a fire that was so hot that it could melt a mountain.
She didn’t even try to calm herself down. Instead, her legs began to shake, and she jumped out of the bed.
The system’s suggestion was to eliminate her or destroy her feelings, so the only thing Ember could do was go outside and get rid of the woman who was trying to take her husband.
’Who the hell does she think she is?’
Her mind was in a mess, and her heart was beating loudly.
’How dare she put her filthy hand on my husband?’
At this point, she was no longer a shy and meek wife.
’Nell is mine,’
Instead, she was a raging demoness who was ready to tear apart the world for the person she loved.
She didn’t have the patience to wait, nor did she have the intention to do so.
"She is going to pay for this,"
She spoke and walked toward the door, "System, show me the way to the neighbor named Marine," She commanded.
Ding!
[Calculating the path.
Creating visual red dots.
Please, follow the dots and it will lead you to your destination.]
"Hmm,"
A small hum left her lips as she saw the red dots turning and curving in her dark surroundings, which would lead her to the door of her neighbor’s house.
So, without wasting any time, she opened the door and stepped outside the bedroom.
However, as soon as she was out of the room, the system’s chime rang in her ears, and a new message appeared on her screen.
Ding!
[
Your husband has stepped backward, breaking the contact between the woman and himself.
Your husband is trying to make some distance between them.
Your husband is rejecting the woman.
Please, enjoy the show.]
’Huh? What is real-time mode?’
As soon as the system’s words registered in her mind, a video appeared on the screen.
It was a video of her husband and the woman who was trying to seduce him.
In the video, the woman who was trying to touch her husband was shown with her hand raised in front of her.
However, before her hand could touch anything, her wrist was grabbed by someone’s hand.
’Is it Nell?’ Ember thought as she kept watching the video.
"I have already accepted your thanks. So why don’t you leave it at that," In the video, a deep and serious voice rang in her ears.
It was Nell.
His voice was different than how she remembered it.
He wasn’t his usual playful self.
Instead, his tone was firm and filled with seriousness.
It was as if he was telling the woman that he didn’t want her to touch him again.
The video was very clear, and Ember could see everything that was going on.
Even the face of the woman who was trying to touch Nell was clear.
’So this is the face of the woman who wants to take my husband away from me,’
She thought, and once again Nell’s voice was heard in her ears, "Look, I don’t know what you are trying to do. But please don’t touch my chest,"
The video didn’t stop there and continued playing, and she could see the woman’s face blushing as she was rejected by Nell.
"Since the thing in it is someone’s property,"
At first, the woman was confused. She didn’t understand what Nell was talking about, but when her gaze moved to his chest, her eyes went wide and the color got drained from her face.
"Are you... already taken?" She asked, her voice was no louder than a whisper.
"Yes, so please leave it at that," Nell once again took a step back, and the woman in the video became further as if the video was made using Nell’s P.O.V.
"I-I am sorry. I didn’t know that you were... uh... taken."
Her hands were trembling, her face was pale, and her eyes were darting around nervously as if she were trying to find something.
’Did she really not know? Or was she pretending?’ Ember wondered.
"That’s fine," Nell’s voice was calm, and he didn’t blame her for her actions.
And, with those words, the real-time video finished and the screen disappeared.
’What a gentleman. My husband is so great,’
A smile bloomed on Ember’s lips, and a faint blush surfaced on her cheeks, as the anger within her heart vanished.
However, the happiness she felt didn’t last long, and her smile quickly faded away, as another thought crossed her mind.
’Wait, my husband doesn’t have a ring on his finger. That’s why this woman didn’t realize that he was married, right?’
The thought was reasonable, and as she recalled, her husband’s hands were empty and there was no ring on his finger.
’A ring, I need a ring.’
