LOVER MONSTER!
106. Traumatizing.

Jessica trusted Demian, therefore, even though Hestia scoffed at her belief as naive and stupid, Jessica would not doubt Demian.

Jessica has followed Demian so far to Italy, Jessica will not doubt Demian just because a witch woman like Hestia came and messed up the crap in front of her face.

Until Hestia's mouth foamed though, Jessica would not be affected.

Nah!

Jessica would not allow herself to be affected.

'The woman really ruined my mood, ' Jessica's inner self.

While propped up by her chin on the balcony of her room, Jessica stared at the beach view that stretched out wide in front of her. Jessica wants to go to the beach. However, thanks to Hestia, Jessica chose to enjoy her time in the room only.

Jessica decided to read. At least, before he was shocked Jessica decided to read.

Now, all Jessica did was sink into her own thoughts. Living his life in Italy feels like a dream.

'It doesn't make sense!' thought Jessica.

He would have never imagined himself on the balcony of this famous family. Jessica never thought she would fall in love.

What Jessica did at the beginning of the year every day, if Jessica remembers, then it is to be a fangirl in her own cafe. Jessica remembers so admiring the romance drama that took place between Demian, Angela and Jake Allendale.

Jessica remembers often commenting on Demian's whereabouts as the figure Angela should choose, and Dania would argue against it.

Those were the most relaxing moments in Jessica's life. Every day, Jessica makes other people's problems, especially Angela as the problem because Jessica has no problems other than the cafe. Jessica has no life outside Elixir.

Jessica enjoys the sight of Angela who is plagued by dilemmas, languishes and kasmaran. Jessica found all the emotions beyond her reach comforting.

Jessica did not expect, when the things that she had always considered entertainment actually happened in her life. It's like karma. Jessica did not feel this situation was comforting at all. Feeling of anxiety, dilemma and worry that hit her chest, Jessica really did not want this all.

"Why is falling in love so hard?" Jessica nodded to herself. "Why do I need to deal with such a variety of issues just to be with a guy I like? Am I wrong in choosing a man or what?"

Since Jessica involved herself with Demian, Jessica has faced a variety of unique problems that do not feel real. His every encounter with Demian was always colorful. Jessica recalled the moment Demian first stepped on the balcony of her room. Jessica was so panicked that she lost consciousness, it was scary.

"I wonder what Demian is doing now?" Jessica grabbed her phone from the pocket of the sweater she was wearing. He reads Demian's name in his contacts, and intends to contact Demian. Before she presses Dial, Jessica cancels her intention.

"I came here to accompany Demian to put an end to his troubles, I must not be selfish and ask him to see me."

Even if Jessica misses Demian, Jessica doesn't want to be a burden. Demian will come later in the afternoon, and that's enough. Jessica wasn't in a position to ask Demian for this. Not when Demian was hit by a problem that might have been more difficult than Jessica had imagined.

However, breaking ties from your family is not easy. Be it physical or mental, you can't avoid pressure, indecision and unreality.

Jessica was worried about Demian's mental state, actually. Is he okay with all his head? Perhaps because of that anxiety as well, Jessica became reluctant to pressure Demian with questions about her family's problems. Jessica is afraid Demian is overwhelmed.

Jessica could only be patient and wait for Demian to open the story first. Jessica wanted Demian to feel comfortable.

If there was anything Jessica wanted to do when she met Demian, then it was to make sure that Demian would always support her. Being by his side.

"I hope he can rest for a moment."

Geck! Geck! Geck!

A knock appeared on Jessica's bedroom door, making Jessica's daydream pause. Jessica turned to the door and wondered who was visiting her during the day. Not long after the knock arrived, Lisa entered her room. The female bodyguard who always appeared friendly to Jessica entered while bringing Jessica a gift box.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your break, Miss. Jessica." Lisa talk. He approached Jessica on the balcony and handed her the gift box. "I brought you a package."

"Forku?" What Demian?

"From who?" ask Jessica again.

Lisa slicked her shoulders. "This gift came from the Bellamy family, it's likely a gift from Mr. Demian."

"Oh.., thank you, Lisa."

The warmth spread across Jessica's chest. Thinking that Demian still had time to send her a gift, Jessica was so unnerved.

Was Demian able to read that his mood was a bit bad right now, so he sent this gift? Oh, if only Demian knew Jessica's mood was too bad today. Maybe Demian himself will come and deliver his own parcel.

"Miss. Jessica..." Lisa, who had not left there, made a sound.

"Yes?"

"I thought you might get bored alone. So..., umm, how about a walk?"

"I took a walk yesterday. I'm not sure I still have the energy to get out." Not only that, Jessica also lost interest in doing anything today, thanks to Hestia who had already ruined her mood. If you can, Jessica hopes the afternoon will come soon. That way, at least, he could meet Demian again.

"Thank you for your offer, Lisa. I just want to rest today."

"All right, then. I'm outside if you need me."

"Md. Thank you." Thank you."

After Lisa leaves Jessica and her card box, Jessica pulls the ribbon that wraps the gift. He sent out one by one the objects that covered the gift. Starting from the tape, wrapping paper, and lastly, close the box. After opening the gift, Jessica found an elegant pink dress folded inside.

Jessica took out the dress and untied it in front of her face, scanning every inch of luxury and elegance that the dress displayed.

Honestly, the dress is beautiful. It was so beautiful and Jessica was stunned by its beauty. However, what Jessica did not understand was why Demian had given her a dress?

Is there going to be an event or something?

"I know he's rich but.., this is too fancy..." Jessica muttered while shaking her head.

The problem is, now Jessica again remembered Janette, Jake's sister who gave him a gift that was too expensive. Jessica remembered complaining about something like this to Demian that she didn't like anything too much. But, why would the man still give her a gift like this? Where does she expect Jessica to wear it?

"Am I the president's guest?" Jessica nodded in wonder.

Just then, as Jessica was about to put the gift back in her box, Jessica found a neatly folded greeting card at the bottom of the box. Jessica grabbed the greeting card and found a fragrant scent emanating from the card.

"What's amazing, is their ink made of rose petals?"

...'*Supplying this in compensation has ruined your shirt that day. I hope we can meet again. ...

...Autumn in Italy is cold enough, I don't mind sharing your warmth if you need me again. EB*.'S*.'...

...*...

Demian is not coming.

Even until the day darkened black, Demian did not show his arrival at the front gate of the Rhoden manor. He also did not give any news.

Jessica, who was waiting for Demian, gave up when the time was nine o'clock. Jessica got off the couch and sauntered into the bathroom to wash her face.

Jessica needs to refresh herself.

There were too many things happening to her today and all of them became a burden that squeezed her chest in fatigue. Jessica needs her sanity and alertness to stay in standby mode before starting tomorrow which I don't know, Jessica is only thinking about the worst possibilities now.

After Erthian sent her the present, Jessica was struck with fear. He was afraid that Erthian would come and see him. Jessica was afraid of the food on the table. What if Erthian planted poison there and did something that would only add to Jessica's fear?

Jessica was paranoid at every knock, the sound of a car horn entering the front gate. Jessica, I don't know what to do.

The room that was the size of a football field was like a small cardboard box and he was inside that cardboard, short of breath and scared. Jessica felt her heart still pounding wildly whenever her gaze fell on the pink dress that was still on the balcony floor.

Jessica was so frightened that she questioned the protection Demian had given her. How reliable were Lisa and Robin to prevent Erthian? Would Hestia really protect her when the woman was so ambitious as to get rid of her? Is there anyone to be trusted where he is now?

Among the things that were scaring her now, Jessica was also struck by grief.

Come back, Demian didn't come!

Jessica knew that she was supposed to be an understanding of Demian's condition. However, Hestia's remark regarding Demian who would forget her made Jessica feel. What if Demian dumped her alone here?

"I want to go back to Vegas..." In the end, curled up in her bed, Jessica again sobbed with a tight chest.

Jessica was lying in her bedroom, on a bed with sheets that smelled like wisteria. Jessica's eyes stared at the ceiling of her room, looking at a single black dot that stained the white color on the ceiling wall.

Jessica decided not to sleep tonight. He does not want to let go a little.

Jessica believes that the only person who can protect her now is herself. He can't trust anyone. Demian was no exception to come and be by his side. However, since Demian did not come, Jessica would as much as possible survive alone.

The mat! The mat! The mat! The mat! The mat!

The clockwork seconds on the wall rang out loud in Jessica's room, chime with the faint sound of night beasts outside the window. The silence swept him away.

Jessica blinked her eyes and somehow, she found herself in a different place. His legs and hands were firmly tied. Jessica, with her heart racing again, tried to pay attention to the surroundings of the room.

This is not the place he was just now. How could he be in this place?

It's a dream, right?

Of course.., this is definitely a dream!

Did I fall asleep? Jessica muttered inside her head, wondering with a feeling of worry bubbling up in her chest. Jessica tugged at her wrists, trying to get up despite her shackled body.

Jessica tried to wake herself up, back to reality. However, the figure he was most unwilling to meet had come to greet. His demon grinned with beauty.

"You can't escape, Jessica..." Erthian Bellamy was before him, crawling up on top of his body. The existence of the man made Jessica's entire body stricken with feelings of nista.

Disgusting, seeing that face is so disgusting. For whatever sake, Jessica wanted to disappear from before the man. Jessica wants to wake up.

"Thank you for coming all the way to see me," Erthian spoke again, his fingers docked on Jessica's cheeks. The existence of his fingers at that time was also like a knife that touched the surface of Jessica's skin. Jessica felt so threatened by her existence.

"Do you like my gift?"

Jessica thrashed in panic. He had no voice to reply to Erthian's words.

"You're thinking about me, aren't you? I came to fulfill my promise..."

Unhand me!

Unhand me!

Jessica's head was filled with only two syllables.

"I'll give you Jessica's warmth, because you're now alone."

"Haha..."

"Haha..."

"YAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

Screaming as loud as she could, Jessica got up from her sleep with sweat pouring down her face. Thanks to that shout as well, Robin and Lisa broke into his room. Meeting him who was on the bed with a face that was deathly pale and horrified. Tears spilled on his cheeks, mingling with sweat.

"Miss. Jessica, what's going on?" Lisa tries to calm Jessica's body that shakes and shakes, the girl as if she had met death. Lisa worried about Jessica, but, not until her hand touched Jessica's shoulder, her hand was pushed away.

"So far.." - Jessie.

"But, Miss..."

"Far away! I said stay away!!!"

Although Jessica had retraced in reality, Jessica did not find any calm there at all. The whole room was like an enemy to him. Jessica can't trust anyone. Jessica is surrounded by monsters.

All the anxious looks that were directed towards her, Jessica was unable to believe it all.

Jessica.., it's likely going crazy before she returns home.
