The Essence Of The Darkness
Episode 68: Jealousy
Although Sera wanted to refute, but her logical mind managed to make her refrain from doing so.
After all, she was a mature woman who was able to judge the situation and not just rely on her personal feelings alone. Bad weather outside became his main consideration not to confront the decision of Xavier who chose to pull over to the nearest hotel. At this time, the storm had started to become inflamed, the swift rain that he was pouring down was no joke, hit the window glass with the help of the wind that seemed to provoke each other to work together to break the window of the car. The road towards midnight is also very quiet, there are only a few taxis and private vehicles that cross with them, the rest, their cars are alone on this protocol highway, he said, making the night atmosphere increasingly gripping and suck fear into the mind of Sera.
People with common sense of course have noticed the announcement of the coming storm ahead of midnight tonight and choose not to leave the house for security.
If not for Xavier's impulsive attitude, now Sera would have been sheltering under the roof of Elana's house safely. Sera glanced at Xavier in an accusatory manner, making the man look back at her while raising an unhappy eyebrow.
Xavier's mood seems to be bad tonight. The man did not reveal the sweet smile that became his trademark in the slightest. In fact, Xavier seemed to be a little drunk and loosened his usually restrained self-control very strongly.
This is what makes Sera feel afraid. Facing the current Xavier, it felt very scary, because Sera could not guess and anticipate what Xavier would do next. Sera's eyes glanced back out the window and relief instantly enveloped her heart when she realized that the car they were riding in had made it to the hotel chosen by Xavier. The car immediately slid into a giant parking building attached to and connected to the luxury hotel building, driving around like a spiral, through the hallway that climbs up to the top parking floor of the building.
Sera let out a long sigh to drip the relief that filled her chest. At the very least, they had already gotten under the roof of the building and were shielded from the huge storm that was hitting the more intense ones out there.
The lingering silence made Sera again steal a glance towards Xavier, but unfortunately, this time her eyes had to be cobbled with the man's eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Xavier finally asked, breaking the silence inside the passenger cabin of the car.
Instantly Sera cleared her throat, deciding not to give up and choosing to confront Xavier alone. His subconscious mind realized that no matter how much he tried to rebel, it was likely that he would end up losing at Xavier's hands.
Well then, it's better for Sera to lose with the resistance so as to make her defeat more honorable, right?
"The weather's getting worse. You were supposed to let me stay at Elana's. At the very least, we don't have to face this kind of storm...." Slowly Sera spoke her mind, not realizing that her words were a kind of foolish act like throwing fuel on the fire of Xavier's anger that had been burning his heart.
"Why do you want to stay at Elana's house? Are you looking forward to the next day when Credence Evening takes you to buy baby gear that's my son? Looks like, you can't wait to move around and jump into Credence Evening's bed. Don't you even regret having conceived my son, hmm?"
At that moment, Sera realized that Xavier was indeed drunk. This guy is so different, though, it was as if the locked fence that had been fortifying the overflow of emotions suddenly opened wide and made the emotions that had been hidden in the mask full of smiles owned by Xavier so free to scatter and escape from guard.
Xavier almost seemed jealous of Credence Evening. Though Sera knew that Xavier who was in a state of consciousness and control, would be too arrogant even to feel a hint of jealousy.
"You're not in a good position to argue with me. I don't want you to regret anything you've done when your conscious mind comes back. So, for now, I better not refute whatever you say." Deliberately ignoring, Sera immediately turned her head to the window outside the car, unwilling to look at the man in order to keep the atmosphere peaceful.
Unfortunately, Sera's actions that seemed to belittle the man even gave the opposite effect to Xavier, instead of quieting down, the man was further ignited by the burning flames. His body immediately moved, pressing and trapping Sera to the end of the car cabin, while his hand was raised, resting on the car window on the side of Sera sitting.
"So so? It's only been a few days since you got out of my control, now you don't want to listen to your husband anymore?" xavier growled with a threatening voice. When Sera did not turn her head, the man grabbed her chin and turned Sera's face towards her. "Open your mouth and answer me!"
Forced like that, inevitably Sera was forced to stare directly at the depths of Xavier's eyes that pierced him sharply. There was as much fear in his soul as he saw Xavier showing his anger without being covered up again. The man had always not forgotten to comment on the smile no matter what his mood was, but now Xavier seemed to tighten his molars firmly as if he would explode if he did not manage to hold back.
Although Xavier never hurt her, and even if she was the father of her baby, Sera would not forget the fact that Xavier Light was known to be very cruel to his enemies. During this time Xavier was kind to Sera because he thought Sera was still useful to him. However, it is not impossible that Xavier will move Sera in the position as his enemy, then harm Sera cruelly.
After all, Sera knew that she had to be very careful of this husband.
"I-I don't want to argue with you." Sera finally managed to let out a slow sound. Her lips trembled slightly, but she managed to disguise it with a false calm demeanor that fortified her.
Sera once read, that to deal with a tantrum human, whether a child or an adult human, the only way is to be calm, controlled and not provoke any emotional reactions from the interlocutor. He hoped that way would also work to deal with Xavier at the moment.
"good. You can't argue with me." With an irritating stiff voice, Xavier replied, showing off his arrogance shamelessly. The man's eyes then went through the entire look of Sera's face, as if wanting to nail the structure of the woman's face into his memory. Then, his grip on the woman's chin tightened, bringing Sera's face closer to look up and closer to her face that looked down tightly.
"Regarding Credence Evening, do not try to dream. I don't want the baby in your womb being defiled by another man. As long as my baby grows in your belly, you can't be around another man, whoever it is." Xavier's eyes pierced sharply towards Sera. "Do you understand?" ask her then in a demanding tone.
Supposedly, for the sake of his safety, Sera chose to remain silent, nodding her head and not refuting like an obedient wife. However, Xavier's arrogant behavior inexplicably ignites Sera, so that eventually, he lets the emotions that dominate him, neglects his own safety, then looks at Xavier with a deliberate defiant attitude.
“But, if I have given birth to your child and completed my duties, then I am free, right?” challenge without a second thought.
Xavier's dark expression that appeared after him instantly made Sera regret her words in the first second after she had made her speech.
Xavier's hands tightened, and the man's eyes sharpened, his voice even sounding like the growl of a wounded savage beast as the man pressed his face against Sera's face, making their noses collide and their breaths chime together.
“You will regret having challenged me, Serafina Moon.”
The words were like a terrible promise that instantly suffocated. Fortunately, the dispute did not continue to burn because suddenly the car stopped after climbing several circular aisles to reach the top of the hotel parking building.
Xavier's attention was distracted from Sera. The man moved back and released his grip on Sera's jaw, then straightened his back in a formal sitting position. Shortly after, as the driver got out of the car and stood by the door waiting for instructions, Xavier glanced slightly at Sera without taking away her furious glare.
“Come down.” His orders were short, then let his driver open the car door for him and step down from the car. “Ayo.” With a frown and unfriendly attitude, Xavier repeated his orders while bowing near the car door and extending his hand.
Sera slowly crushes, but she finally receives a helping hand from Xavier and lets herself get helped down from the car.
When they were already standing side by side, Sera tried to remove her hand grip from the man, but Xavier did not let it loose. The man's grip even tightened until it almost hurt. As if, Xavier wants to show his power over Sera and force Sera trapped to be unable to escape.
Sera glanced at Xavier exasperatedly, with all her might resisting the urge to step on the man's foot and then turned away.
But then again, where is he going? Out there the rainstorms hit and right now they are in the highest area of this parking building which is very quiet without anyone else around them.
Xavier was heard giving instructions to his driver, then without turning his head again, the man pulled Sera's hand, half dragged him and prevented him from entering the elevator on the side of the building where their car was parked.
Before Sera had rebelled or denied, he was trapped, in an elevator with the man with his hands tightly clasped. Next to the man's hand pressed a special code with a fingerprint lock as the cover on the elevator button and made the elevator move up.
After that, the man chose to remain silent, while his molars docked as if to refrain from exploding.
“Why don't we go to the lobby and meet the receptionist?” Sera asked cautiously, again trying to break the tense silence in the narrow box that led them up to one special floor that stood alone, not connecting with the parking building. He compares with the last time Xavier took him to one of Akram's hotels. At that time, they went through the usual procedure of passing the reception desk to reserve a room.
Why is this different? It was as if they were going through a secret back lane unknown to many.
“I have one full floor at the very top of this hotel building.” Xavier grinned towards Sera. “This is a property I own because of the smart investment I made in my youth. The owner of this hotel is facing the threat of bankruptcy due to endless family disputes. He then came to me asking for financial policy advice to get himself out of bankruptcy. I was willing to help him, and in exchange for my help saving this hotel, he gave me a special one-story gift at the very top of this building. But, that's not what matters for now.” Unexpectedly, Xavier raised Sera's hand which he had been holding since then, then presented a sensual kiss there. “The most important thing is, we have private moments together without interruption to spend this night together.” The man grinned with an urgent and forcing attitude. “I promise tonight will be a lot of fun for you, Serafina Moon.”
Sera opened her mouth to call for her disapproval. Xavier's words surprised him. He had thought that despite being drunk and angry, the man still had the sense to treat him with a respectable woman and not to use his body as an outlet of lust and anger.
But apparently, Sera's guess was wrong. It was foolish of him to expect moral policy from someone like Xavier. The man obviously took her to this hotel, not for shelter, but for lovemaking.
Unfortunately, before Sera could speak, the elevator door opened and the man again dragged her across the beautiful sitting room that was directly stretched out before them after coming out of the elevator. Xavier seemed to ignore it all, the man immediately took Sera into a large room with a monochrome white feel that created a classic simple feel mingled with pure elegance.
They were near the bed when Xavier pulled Sera into his arms, then brought Sera's hand back to her lips. The man is now not only peeling, but also sticking out his tongue and tasting the soft back skin surface of Sera's hands.
“Xavier!” Sera gasped as the kiss and touch of the hot tongue sent a twinkle crawling all over her body, she tried to pull her hand away, but of course Xavier did not let go.
Xavier's hand moved to hold Sera into a hug, then his lips touched Sera's lips, not yet frowning but only gently swiping, while, his voice sounded raucous when speaking.
“Do not reject your husband. I'm just cleaning up another guy's kiss marks on the surface of your skin.” A second after speaking, Xavier immediately kissed Sera mercilessly, exerting his skill at seducing in a form of burning hot kiss that instantly dispelled Sera's common sense, making her mind foggy.
Sera could feel that Xavier was smiling near her ear. When the man finally whispered, his voice was filled with haughty satisfaction that trampled Sera to the bottom.
“See these words, Serafina Moon. I won't let any man touch you as long as you're still married to me and pregnant with my son. Every container that another man touches you, then I will wipe it out using my body.” Xavier bites Sera's ears slowly, exploiting Sera's helplessness under her sensual spell by sighing Sera's sluggish body as she lies on the bed.
Without providing an opportunity for Sera to dispel the fog that controlled her mind, Xavier immediately went up following up to the top of the bed to trap Sera's body under her body, be careful not to press the stomach of Sera who is pregnant with her child.
The merciless man bowed back, showering Sera with an intoxicating kiss that threatened to subdue Sera under his feet. The man did not intend to stop, nor did he intend to release Sera.
“You are my wife, then you are mine.” Xavier rolled his hand to prepare his woman for him, a satisfied grin instantly appearing on his lips as he felt Sera's helpless acceptance under his power. “And you are ready to receive me.”
Without waiting any longer, Xavier moved passionately, declaring his ownership to Sera without accepting rejection.

When Sera woke up, the day was already rolling leaving the feel of the morning. It was almost nine in the morning and Sera apparently overslept due to her exhausted body charging for rest.
Sera's forehead creased as she felt aching all over her body, the rest of last night's romance. He tried to get up and sit on the bed while pulling a blanket that was clumped around his waist to cover his naked body. Then, having almost managed to gain his entire consciousness completely, Sera raised her face and looked around the room.
He was alone in this room. Xavier is not.
Sera tried to move down from the bed and wrapped the blanket over her body. His own clothes had been scattered on the carpet, scattered there as a result of Xavier's careless actions when removing it last night.
Gosh darn. Fucking Xavier. Once again the man managed to get what he wanted and made Sera crumble, weak due to her expert touch to be unable to fight her husband. Indeed, as usual, Xavier remained gentle with him, even overnight, even though they made love until the light of the ground fell on the earth's floor, the man still treated him very gently and carefully.
Maybe it was all done for the sake of the child in the womb, not for Sera.
Sera let out a long sigh as her head lowered and stared at the marks left by Xavier on her pale skin. The man ostensibly wanted to show his claim of possession by marking Sera's body, as if his drunken condition last night had unleashed a primitive side of his possessive self.
Sera knew that she couldn't let the two of them continue like this. He could not let his pride be trampled directly by Xavier. It was as if he was considered a worthless stone, left for days at a time when it was not needed, then made love and was forcibly possessed when Xavier's possessive side felt threatened.
Sera had no idea what triggered Xavier to become so angry and jealous of Credence Evening. He knew for sure Credence Evening was just being polite with no further intention to him.
Why did Xavier seem to think of Credence as a threat to him?
Sera had not had time to examine her own question as the door of her room suddenly opened, and the figure of Xavier stepped into the room carrying a small tray in his hand. There was a hot drink in a white cup that was steaming on top of the tray. Without a word, the man placed it on the nightstand beside the bed and then he anchored his gaze towards Sera who was sitting on the bed, waiting in silence.
“Hot drink for you. Drink before bathing. Then we have breakfast, the food is already in the dining room.” Xavier spoke with a flat expression and waited. When Sera did not move, the man took the hot cup on the nightstand and handed it to Sera's hand until she inevitably accepted it.
The cup was warm, did not injure the hand when it was in the grasp and instead channeled a pleasant warmth in the skin of Sera's palm.
Sera clasped the cup between her hands, then looked at the contents of the drink.
C**the cup did not contain coffee or tea as he expected to refresh in the morning, but warm white milk.
Sera looked up again, about to voice her protest through a look at Xavier and her eyes met with Xavier's eyes which could instantly guess his protest precisely.
Unexpectedly, Xavier moved his hand, then rubbed Sera's head and spoke in a soft tone, as if he was coaxing a child who was sulking.
“Can't be too much caffeine for pregnant women,” she said later, echoing Sera's protests firmly.
The man then stepped back, as if regretting having shown his gentleness by rubbing Sera's head.
“Get ready, take a shower and then have breakfast. We left after breakfast,” he said later, turning around and about to step away from the room.
“Where to go?’ Sera managed to voice her question before Xavier walked out of the room.
Will the previous one repeat itself? After Xavier satisfies himself against Sera, then Sera will be banished and shunned again?
Sera's question made Xavier stop his steps in front of the door he had opened, then turned a little towards Sera and spoke with his typical irritating attitude.
“Go baby gear shopping. You want to do it, don't you? I'm free, so I'll take you.”
