Too good to love

Artemisia

ARTEMISIA.

A few years ago .....

I was shaking like a leaf , my heart racing so fast . I sat on the bed in a black see through lingerie , I hear he likes his women sexy and ready. It's my first wedding night as his wife.

I am a little nervous , what if he doesn't like my sexy outfit , he could kill me in a snap especially am so young and petite.

I heard his footsteps , then the door opened .

He looked at me from toe to head like a lion ready to devour his prey.

I looked down not sure what to do.

He took off his clothes and remained in some boxers.

The man had a body of a mythical God of thunder .

He walked to where I sat and lifted me up to stand .

His gray eyes gazed into my blue eyes I realized something.

"You don't look like your reputation "I said , oops! Why did I say that ? he could rip me to shreds .

Damien Hunter looks nothing like what people say he is. Before I actually saw his face I heard stories about him . How he would kill someone with his bare hands , he ripped off a man's chest and smashed his heart with his bare strong hands ! He was a conqueror of territories no one dared him, he was a dark Knight.

I had an image in my head of a huge man with Viking scars on his face , bald head and wore a bear fur coat as he walked with a sharp sword on his waist .

When I learned that the man that took my virginity is actually the famous Damien I laughed in disapproval . Damien looks like someone I would fantasize in a biology class and imagine he was my boyfriend and I would show him off to the entire school during prom night.

"What do I look like. “he asked .

"Like some rich school football captain guy I would wish to take me to prom "I said.

He laughed , he had an adorable laughter, deep ,brief with a clear "ha ha "

"Did you think I was some Viking looking guy in a bear fur coat ?"he asked ... how did he know ???

"Sort of ..how did you know?” I said .

"I know a little about fantasies darling ."he said .

Our age gap is a little big , I once heard a rumor that my mom paid to have my birth certificate changed several times so that I would be too underage to be sold into marriage .I don't know how exactly she did that or if it made any sense but I want to pretend I believe its maybe true . My teachers said I was too intelligent , some of my friends said my body was changing faster than theirs and some women claimed I seemed to have a mature reasoning than other girls . I don’t think it has to do with age I think its just a gift I acquired .

" Will you rape me ?"I asked . He stared at me.

"Why would I do that? “he asked ,

"I saw... "I said and stopped.

"I will never let that man harm you , he may have done it to your sister and mother but if he ever tries to do anything to you I will cut his balls and d**k make him cook it and eat it like a fine meal. Pretty soon you will have his head on a silver platter . Darling you are my wife not a toy , I won't force you into s*x if you don’t want to "he said .

I smiled at the thought of it .

"There my queen , am here to protect you and take care of you . "He said.

********

"Mom! Mom? “came Knight's voice distracting me from my trip down memory lane as I stood looking out of my study room window.

"Yes honey ,"he said.

"She’s here , lets go see if it will work. “he said.

So remember when I said I would do anything for my baby boy , yea. Am probably beginning to reconsider my decision .

Knight came up with this brilliant idea to get a medium and see if she could summon Damien's spirit and reconnect a little , am so against the idea.

My sister Elena was a paranormal fan but one thing she told me is to never awaken the dead , they should stay dead. She once played an Ouija board game and one of the kids went crazy till date , she was left abandoned in the streets, I took her to a mental institution , one of the best in the country so she can be cared for , poor girl, no one has ever known what she saw or came into her ,and that even boosted my fear to never disturb the spirits.

I walked to the living room , a brunnete lady with so many jewelry on her hands stood up to greet me.

Knight had informed me she’s a Hollywood medium which of course I have never heard about or know of.

She asked for the most priced items Damien had we gave her his watch and tie. Good thing all this cringy stuff she is doing is coming direct from Knight's allowance paycheck and he won't know it.

I just hope she won't be doing any voodoo s**t in my house.

She began to scribble something .If my furniture starts floating I will surely slit her throat.

"Am trying to reconnect with your husband but it seems something is not going through “she said .

This better be worth my wait.

She scribbled faster and faster and threw the book as if it was something very hot .

"What happened ?"I asked .

She pointed at the paper she scribbled , just some scribbles but looking closely I see the word 'STOP!'

Knight asked her to do it again and see if he will come through . She does so and this time my wineglass breaks .. okay now I believe it she’s not bluffing .

She stops scribbling .

"We can't continue, "she said.

"Why “Knight asked .

"The more we summon him the more we hurt him , it pains him “she said . Pain?

"I don’t understand , he's a spirit ,how is he in pain Is he in hell ?"I asked , maybe he's in hell? I don't know.

"N..no .Mrs. Hunter , he's not in hell . Your husband is actually here in person ."she said .

"He's here, where ? Daddy if you are really here show yourself “Knight said , suddenly Tyson walked by then came back to greet us he looked like he just came from a traumatic exorcism.

His hair was wet, his shirt sweaty wet, is he okay?

He walked to his room .

"I see something coming through , I see a man and another man kiss in a room adjacent to here . he's is...."she said but Knight interrupted hurriedly .

"Thank you for the reading , my mom and I need to digest the news about everything "he said .

I wrote her cheque escorted her out hoping for more info but she had none to any leads . If my husband is here at least she should tell us who or what , maybe he’s in the form of an animal, object or person like I need answers .

Fuck! Is this real or some joke but the glass broke right in front of me so its definitely real.

I need a glass of wine before I go crazy.

"Ma'am I need to tell you something "came Fero's voice.

"Come in Fero” I said.

"I am leaving for Miami tomorrow noon , please keep a watch on my son , incase of anything let me know” I said .

"Very well Ma’am “he said .

I walked out of my bar room then walked back remembering Fero wanted to tell me something , how rude of me .

He was just about to leave .

" My apologies Fero for walking out rudely. Did you want to tell me something? ."I asked.

"Yes ma’am “he said my phone rang.

"Would it be okay if we talk about it tomorrow, "I said.

"Yes ma’am. “he said.

"Thank you Fero. "I said.

"You are welcome ma’am “he said. I walked out to receive a call from my personal assistant on tomorrow’s trip.
