Chronicles of Macbeth

Chapter five

The car finally came to an halt in front of a giant building called a mansion. The front wall was made of glass and the door was giant. The wall was painted blue and white.

The door was opened by Erica and what stood in front of Chen was a giant hall. Looks like a hall or hotel than a house.

On the sofa near the fireplace, sat a beautiful lady. Her face looks exactly like Juana. They both have the same figure and structure. At once Chen knew she was Juana identical twins. The Lady wore a tailored, gray flannel slacks, a white silk shirt,and a hand - knit jacket of a bluish - gray mohair with her gold watch and a pair of gold Tiffany shrimps earrings.

"Juana,why do you keep me waiting," She asked,suddenly realizing that their is someone else in the room. She stood up as stride to where Juana was.

"Who is this?" She asked keeping her gaze on Chen.

"Chen meet Abigail. My identical twins I told you about," Juana said.

"Hi, my name is Chen Qin. It nice meeting you," Chen said extending an handshake.

"Am Abigail," She said shaking him.

"Have a seat," Juana said sitting down. Chen took a seat beside Juana and Abigail sat facing them.

"The dinner is ready," the butler announced.

"Let go," Abigail said and Juana stand up wearily and Chen followed them innocently.

The dinning room was like a hall. Long and beautifully decorated. A long table was situated at the center and and chairs were arranged in front of it. A typical dinning used in the royal house. They were served Beef Goulash. They all ate in silence. When they finished eating the table was cleared and their dessert was served with a Cork tail drink. After that a bottle of champagne was brought in a ice bucket.

"So,who are you?" Abigail said siping her champagne.

Chen lifted his head up,he look at Juana. When he got no expression on her face,he knew she wanted him to answer the question himself.

He look at Abigail and their eyes lock for the longest momentary. No sound was heard or made. Everything stand still. All they could hear was the sound of their own breath. It was Juana who clears her throat that made both of them to realized they were staring at each other.

"How am I suppose to say this? I am - uh - uh...",He said stuttering.

" My contracts lover, "Abigail said with a smile.

" Not really, "he replied making his voice sound neutral." I don't live with you by rules".

"Well,that nice. I like the idea of you not living with me by rules. You can ask for anything but not my love".

" okay, "he said making his voice sound neutral.

" Do you know you will be living with me?"Abigail asked looking at him curiously.

"Yeah,as long as your identical twins kept her promise about my mother," he reply.

"She sure will keep her promise".

" Am tired, if you guys are not. Abigail take him to his room and talk things over there,"Juana said standing up.

"I did not tell my mother I will not be coming home, "Chen said.

"I will send my guard over to her place," Abigail volunteer.

"Don't worry. I have taking care of it. She will be okay," Juana said heading towards the stairs.

Abigail stood up and motion to Chen to follow her. She went over to the elevator, she press the level she was going to and enter. Chen followed suit. It was later Chen realized that she chooses not to pass the stairs and instead make use of the elevator.

Waiting anxiously for the elevator to open,Abigail step on her dress and fall into Chen embrace.

He smelled of spicy after shave,and his skin felt faintly raspy against hers. A shiver of pleasure shot through her at the accidental contact,she jerked back in surprise, causing her foot to slip.

"Chen's hand shot forward to grasp the curve of her hip,steadying her. A tremor of instant reaction jolted her, and she swallowed hard. His hand lingered, pressing into her side,and she could feel the strength in those long finger.

" I am sorry,"he muttered staring at Abigail. He release his grip and help her in standing up.

"Oh,don't be," she said."Let go".She said urging him. She had difficulty in walking, so Chen pick her up and carried her.

She could feel his warm,hard palm carrying her. She look at his face and realized he did not look dangerous. He look like a man desperate to do anything for his mother.

"The type of man she wanted," She thought. "A man who will do anything for her".

She could not have him,even if she wanted to. The curse will not allow her to have him.

Suddenly, she have the urged to touch him,to feel him. To trace his lip with her hand,to feel his lips on her mouth,to have him all to herself. This was the first time she had the urged to think or want to do that after Lucian death. Even thinking about it aroused her.

For the past few years, she had never had the urged to touch a man not to think about kissing them. But now,she never wanted to leave this man arm. She felt safe and warm in it.

He put her gently down on the bed,search the room and finally found the messaging cream. He message her leg until it felt better for her to use it to walk again. She stood up and headed to the bathroom. She had her shower and cool her head also.

She came out of the bathroom with her night gown. She sat down in front of the dressing table and start combing her hair.

" Would you like to comb my hair?"She asked.

"I would love to but am not good with comb," he reply grinning his white set of teeth.

"Take," She said pointing the comb at him.

He took the comb and comb her hair in a more gentle and relax way. Abigail found herself starring at him through the mirror. When he was done combing her hair, he returned the comb to her. He removed his suit and slid in the blanket to sleep.

later,Abigail also slid in the blanket. She had to hold her self rigid so as not to flick her hand over him. She wondered how he his comfortable like that. HMinutese smiled to herself. Never had she see a man who looks comfortable sleeping without removing his suit. It had been a long time since she saw herself laughing because of a silly thing like that. It really amused her how a man good make her smile like that. The only man capable of that is Lucian but he his dead. Remembering his name brought up a sad memories she had buried deep inside her. She had lived him and she will continue to do so. Till the end of the earth. She sat in form today the mirror and start combing her hair. Her eyes fixed on chen. He looked amazing and even cute when sleeping.
