Moonlight Serenade

"Why, Ma?" Jewel swallowed hard, not believing what her mother had said. "We can take the land title back from them. And we have been planting and reaping harvests on Aisle for ten years so it's possible to take it back when they let us use the Aisle for ten years!"

"That's because your father asked the Mayor. The Hernandez already has a lot of land so they let us plant and harvest in Aisle. But that doesn't mean they will allow us forever. So your father and I had planned to marry you off to the Mayor's son to make sure that our clan will not lose ownership..." Her mother smiled softly. "For the sake of the next generation of our clan, Jewel."

"Maybe we can buy the Aisle again!"

Donya Belinda shook her head. "You can only buy a title if the current owner sells it, Jewel. We can't take it back until the Hernandez decides to sell, but how long should we wait for it? We don't want to pass on to you and your children the weight of the Aisle's responsibility."

"But you married me off to Gideon. Didn't you also pass on the responsibility?"

"We did it for you. We know Gideon is a good man and he will take care of you. This Simoen Saavedra has a bad reputation outside the University, so even though he is from a well-known Saavedra clan, he's not qualified to be our son-in-law.

Jewel smiled wryly at what her mother said. She also didn't want Simoen to be her husband either, because she could not afford to live on the same roof with that man. "But why did you ask me to go back to Gideon?"

"Because I want you to be a responsible wife, Jewel." The mother smiled softly at her. "We locked you in this mansion for several years so I know you don't really know the real world yet. I want you to be free from the cage we are holding you in. Besides, he called yesterday to say he wants to take you again. Your father's heart is not hardened to not agree with his son-in-law's request."

Her hand reached for the glass of juice and gulped it down. She put it back on the table. "Why is this so sudden, Ma?" she asked. "I mean, after my confinement in the hospital, Papa didn't allow me to live there at Gideon's house. So, why? Why... Papa's decision suddenly changed?"

"Because Gideon said he loves you, Jewel. So we want you to go back to your husband to cultivate your feelings to him."

Jewel frowned and looked away. She's not comfortable sharing these things with her mother and she could feel her cheeks burned red in embarrassment. She fell silent.

But to be honest, she didn't fully believe Gideon's words. That man was a liar.

After lunch, she locked herself in the room. She didn't have any virtual class that day so she was able to read erotica freely on her favorite reading app.

A few minutes later there was a knock on the door. She opened the door and saw Augustina. "This is the shipment I retrieved last night, Miss."

Jewel smiled and gladly accepted the small parcel, locking the door.

She quickly installed the micro-cam according to the instructions written on the box where it was placed. Then she went back to reading. The night came and she finished her dinner when she suddenly remembered checking the camera footage.

Jewel turned on the computer connected to the micro-cam. She smiled. All set. The camera shot was well placed. Suddenly a notification popped up on the side of the monitor. She received a new email. Upon opening it, she found the sender's name was Prophetic John.

Her brows met. Prophetic John? Wasn't it the man whom she emailed back then to interpret her wet dreams?

...

Miss JLM,

I'm sorry for a late reply. I've been receiving a lot of messages lately. So, let's interpret your dreams.

I will be frank to you, dear. That man in your dreams is your night husband. Night husband is a spiritual husband. They take the look or face of someone familiar to you, and they will come into you - to have sex with you. Be very careful. This night husband is a demonic presence. The pleasure it brings is false. This will be your downfall if you let this pleasure consume you inside out.

You need deliverance. You need to be free from that bondage or everything will be too late for you.

This is a spiritual battle and you can't do anything about it unless you plead the blood of Jesus. I pray that you overcome this battle through Jesus Christ.

And do not ever watch nor read pornographic movies or books. Or anything that invites sexual masturbation. Because if you are tainted, the enemy can easily enter and destroy your life.

Remember, the enemy (devil) comes to steal, kill, and destroy. The enemy will steal that fire you have for the Lord and kill it instantly. When he succeed, he'll destroy you not just spiritually but physically and mentally too.

Be delivered from this addiction and repent by reading the Word of God and turning away from sins.

God bless you.

- Prophetic John.

Jewel's forehead creased and she deleted the email. Nonsense. That email's message was not true.

Upon browsing her email inbox, she saw her Professor's email for A Seed to Care Project. She grinned.

In fact, she just took a beautiful seedling in the garden then put it in the pot and made a video. Then she got rid of it and she was glad she immediately got a mark for the project. She replied thankfully to the Professor and turned off the computer.

As usual, she read erotica and fell asleep after doing her usual routine.

A few hours passed when she woke up. It's three o'clock in the morning. Naked, sweaty, and gasping for breath. But this time, she was no longer in bed.

She woke up lying on the cold floor!

Her body trembled with fear and quickly ran to the bathroom, took a shower, and got dressed. Then, she sat in front of the computer and searched for the file that contained the micro-cam footage. She believed that someone must have moved her to the floor because she's never been a sleepwalker!

Biting her lip, she waited for the video to play. Jewel should not be nervous to see the flootage, nor tremble in fear upon seeing it because now, she could uncpver the person who's playing pranks on her. Putting those eye-catching red marks all over her white skin, Jewel would make sure that person who's playing with her body will pay! Afterall, she's a Mangubat!

She smiled as the footage began to roll on the monitor. The first footage was taken around midnight.

Her eyebrows met as she waited. She saw herself sound asleep in bed. There's nothing strange so he pressed the forward button.

Suddenly, her body stiffened as her breathe hitched. Her eyes widened and her lips parted. She could clearly see herself in the footage.

At first, there was nothing strange. But at one o'clock in the morning, she slowly sat up from lying on the bed.

Jewel's eyes narrowed as she stared at the monitor, forwarding it, and gaped in disbelief! She was sitting on the bed for thirty minutes!

What she did was not normal! Who would sit in bed for more than thirty minutes and not even move nor speak?

What's more, she didn't even know she was sitting on the bed! And while looking at the screen, Jewel could clearly see that her eyes were closed while doing that.

As you reach the final pages, remember that 000005s.org is your destination for the complete story. Share the joy of reading with others and spread the word. The next chapter is just a visit away! That means... She's sleeping while sitting on that bed!

What on earth's happening to her?!

With paled face, she looked at the time below the footage. It was two o'clock in the morning.

"Jewel," she whispered. "Go back to bed!" she hissed, scolding herself for being a weird person on the footage.

But the Jewel in the video did not do what she said. Instead, the woman in the footage got up and walked to the foot of the bed while her eyes were closed. Her mouth gaped in shock. She's sleep walking? No! She's not a sleepwalker? She stood at the foot of the bed for few more minutes. Later, her eyes widened again when she saw herself undressing in the footage.

"Bi*t*h," she whispered harshly. "What are you doing, Jewel!" And uttered an annoyaged grumble.

She sighed as the 'her' in the video was laying naked on the floor and even spread her legs in front of the camera.

Jewel's cheeks burned hot with embarrassment again, and even slapped herself. Her thougts are interrupted when she suddenly moaned in the footage!

Her mouth gaped in shock, blinking. She's like a b*tch while moaning in that video!

But what made her hair stood in her nape was the fact that various parts of her body gradually develop red marks. And she's not mistaken.

Those red marks were kiss marks!

And who made those marks on her body when there's no one in the video but herself only?

It was exactly three o'clock when she woke up in the footage. Scared, trembling, and hugging herself.

There's something in her room! Moving out was the only option!
