Chapter 1

"Miss, your stuff has been delivered into the new house. Thank you for choosing our service. Have great days in your new home," said the delivery men while smiling at Jennet.

It was already past noontime when her stuff was fully delivered into the living room. The delivery men had just walked out from her house and she was escorting them to their truck at the front compound of her villa.

Jennet smiled back at them. "I will and thank you for helping me deliver my stuff over here. Have a safe trip back home," she said and waved her hand.

They said their thanks again before walking towards the truck. The vehicle left the compound and disappeared at the junction heading towards the heart of the city.

Jennet turned her body towards her new home. Her dream house, a glassed wall villa in the forest with a private pool only for her to enjoy. She bought this villa after saving money for five solid years. For all those years, she only stuffed her stomach with fast foods and tofu!

Five years ago, she was desperately looking for a new place to live and she happened to stumble upon an article about a forest villa on sale at a very low price with complete appliances and furniture. It was stated, the new owner just needs to move into the villa after paying the full price. She didn't waste any second and immediately contact the owner to ask for the villa. Now, she had the villa all on her own and the villa was registered under her name. Most importantly, she had moved away from the annoying women who love to find fault with her!

"At last, I can rest in peace in my own house." She giggled happily.

Her smile grew wider every time she looked around the villa's compound that was huge for only herself. The villa was located uphill, surrounded by greenery and was located far from the city centre. The building was built with floor-to-ceiling windows all around it. So, from every angle, one could see through the house’s living room, kitchen and bedroom area. The interior design was all white, including the layers of curtains for the windows where the thick layer was for the night and the sheer layer was for the day. The private pool was located on the second floor, overlooking the west side, where the bustling city was located.

Jennet walked to the front entrance and waved her hands as if she was waving at a friend. "Hi, new house. I will be your new owner starting today. Please treat me well." She smiled and stepped inside the house.

Inside, she looked around. The living room was spacious with long sofas and couches. There were two guest rooms close to the living room. "Hi everyone. Nice to meet you all. I will keep troubling you guys from now on."

Then, she hopped into the kitchen that was just a wall away from the living room and said, "Hello kitchen. I will keep using you daily. Please watch over me when I cook here."

Then, she looked around with satisfaction. She clapped her hands happily as she walked towards the unpacked boxes in the living room. She started to open the boxes one by one, taking out the stuff inside.

The villa was kept very clean by the caretaker before it was sold to her and she doesn't have to do much cleaning and all she had to do was to unpack her stuff.

Unaware of her surrounding, a pair of almond-shaped eyes with jade blue irises was watching her from the second floor. The person was staring down at her for a few minutes before the figure vanished into the hallway with a soft chuckle in the air.

Jennet stopped unpacking. She was feeling uneasy.

She raised her head and looked upstairs. She felt someone was staring at her but she could not see anyone on the second floor. She shook her head continuously while at it. She inhaled a deep breath and continue to unpack her stuff. ‘Must be my imagination. I must have been too paranoid since I am now will be living alone. I am no longer at the apartment.’

She looked around again to ease her heart but there was no one around except herself. Ignoring all the uneasiness, she rummaged through her backpack and took out her phone, and played music from her playlist. She deliberately raised the volume of the music, drowning the eerie silence with the blasting sound.

After arranging a few kinds of stuff inside the kitchen, she pulled her heavy luggage upstairs. She stopped at the last stair as she was feeling uneasy again. Then, she looked to the left and the right.

The hallway was empty!

She inhaled a deep breath. 'No one is here. Every corner is clear!' she whispered in her mind.

She pulled her heavy luggage with a big heave of a sigh before pulling it towards her bedroom. Upon pushing the door to her bedroom, she smiled widely. The room was spacious and had a king-sized bed placed close to the wall or the massive glass windows, where she could see greenery outside. Apart from that, there was also a dressing table placed a few feet from the bed and a wardrobe that stood close to it, and a working desk on the other side of the dressing table. On the outside of the room, there was a huge balcony with a private pool, and table and chairs were prepared to enjoy the terrace. On the opposite side of the bedroom or few steps away was the location of the bathroom, that was separated by glass walls. The villa was truly fit for single people like her because no one was around to see her getting naked or whatsoever since she was all alone.

Seeing how the villa fit her ideals, Jennet was happy and giddy that she started to unpack her stuff. She wasted no time but to fill the wardrobe with her clothes, that she hung neatly on hangers. As soon she was done unpacking, her body was sweaty from all the excitement.

She went to the bathroom with a towel hanging on her shoulder, and she gasped in excitement to see what waited for her there. The bathroom had a bathtub that was located near to the window, facing the backyard that was filled with greenery. The bathroom also had a private shower room and a toilet that was only divided by a glass wall that acted as the divider. There was also a magnifying mirror apart from the normal mirror by the sink.

"Wow!" she exclaimed in excitement. Her eyes sparkled when she scouted her huge bathroom.

She giggled happily as she circled the place and admired how luxurious her bathroom was. Then, she took her time showering and dipped herself inside the bathtub, enjoying her alone time that she had long for the past years.

This was worth the time and all the sacrifices that she made for five years. Now she has so much freedom than before.

Jennet giggled happily in the bathtub while playing with the bubbles. She leaned back in the tub and looked out the glass window, enjoying the scenery of the mountains that were green and beautiful.

After her long bath, she headed out from the bathroom and wore her pyjama. Then, she closed all the sliding doors, locked them, and pulled the curtains before slumping her tired body on the soft king-sized bed.

"Ahh, the bed is so soft!" she exclaimed happily. Stretching on the bed, to ease her tense muscles due to excitement, she smiled and giggled. Then, she moved her limbs like a star. She tossed and turned in the bed like a kid who never met a bed before.

Due to exhaustion, she was defeated at last. She dozed off to sleep the moment she closed her eyes.

She was sound asleep when the same figure appeared before her bed. It came in the form of thousands of mists before forming the full tall figure of a man. He was clad in a light blue robe. His hair was short and he was also a blonde.

The mysterious blonde hunched his body towards the sleeping woman on the bed.

"Are you already asleep?" he whispered to her face.

He waited for an answer but she didn't seem to answer him. The woman before him was already in deep sleep and even visited the dreamland, and was nowhere on waking up.

He reached out a hand and poked at her cheek. But, he got flustered when he got to feel her warm skin. His cheeks reddened.

"So warm..." he whispered. There was a small stretch over his thin lip but then the small stretch turned into a much warmer and natural smile as he placed his entire palm over her warm cheek.

After a while, he pulled his hand away when she murmured in her sleep. She turned to her side, facing the man, who was startled at her movement. She smiled in her sleep and pulled the quilt to her chin and then chuckled happily.

"Hmm... Yummy..." she chuckled with a big smile on her sleeping face. She was dreaming about the hearty foods that she longed for!

Looking at how adorable she was, the mysterious man laid by her side, and accompanied her throughout the night without tearing his gaze off her sleeping face.

"Sleep tight..." he whispered.
