Jagger chuckled. She was just like other women, who give more importance to their wedding, but still, he isn't trusting her words, he had a suspicion that she was just humoring him every time she answered his questions. He won't lower his guard down even if she was already warming up to his offer of marriage, for all he knows she was just pretending.

Tonight he will test her sincerity if she will escape.

Jessy was feeling discomfort all of a sudden in her nether region. After drinking three rounds of coconut shell full of water her bladder was complaining, she wants to pee!

"Release me now from this deadly circle!" she commanded.

"Oh, why?"

"Because I'm going to take a pee! Hurry up! or I'm going to pee on the floor!" she glared at him.

Jagger grinned. "No problem, go ahead pee on the floor, I am always willing to take off your clothes and your underwear, I especially like my woman to be constantly naked all the time," he joked.

Jessy rolled her eyes and then she began crying. "You pervert! Bastard! After saving your life, this is how you repay me!?" she clenched her teeth in anger.

Jagger saw that she was no longer pretending this time. "Okay fine," his hand moved instantly and the deadly black circle surrounding Jessy had already disappeared. He zoomed towards her and scooped her in his arms, within just a few seconds they landed instantly in the grassy ground. The moment her feet landed on the solid ground, she runs towards the tall bushes and relieved herself immediately.

A few seconds later.

Ahh, that feels good! she said to herself after she emptied her bladder.

Jagger can see her head from where he was standing. He was on alert fearing she might escape! He walked towards her, wading against the bushes.

That was also the moment Jessy stood up and faced him, smirking. "Are you worried that I'm going to escape?"

Jagger nods his head. "Yeah, I'm afraid that my future bride will abandon me before I can even marry her," he answered.

She did not reply to his answer.

They walked back into the center of the clearing.

Jessy was pacing back and forth in the grassy ground for a few minutes, while Jagger was staring at her like a hawk watching his prey...

Then suddenly she heard the sounds of gushing water!

Where is that?

She looked at him. "Is there a stream nearby?" she asked eagerly.

"Yeah, just a few meters away from here...on this side!" he pointed to his right side. "Why?"

"I want to see it! Can you take me there?" she said.

"Okay fine, let me take you to the stream," he said and offered his right hand for her to take.

She shook her head. "No thanks. I can walk by myself," she said and sauntered briskly towards the area where Jagger pointed his hand a minute ago.

After ten minutes of walking, they finally arrived at their destination.

"Wow! Such a beautiful stream," Jessy murmured to herself.

Big rocks can be found on both sides of the stream. The towering trees gives a mysterious shadow around the area, while the full moon was casting a nice lovely glow to the entire length of the stream. There was an area of the stream where the water was far more deeper, she walked towards it, then leaned in towards the water and began washing her face and hands with the cold refreshing water.

She roamed her eyes around her surrounding, it's simply beautiful and breathtaking around here! she thought to herself.

Then her eyes landed on Jagger, he was looking at her face intensely, she ignored him and continue basking in the enchanting aura of the stream.

A few moments later...

"Let's go back to the treehouse now!" Jagger barked his order.

Jessy was still keen on remaining in the area for a few minutes more. "You go ahead, I will follow later," she said.

Jagger doesn't trust her at all, hand moving he freeze her instantly, then he zoomed towards her and scooped her frozen form in his arms. "Belle! It's time to go home and rest!" he grinned.

A moment later, they landed in the treehouse.

Jagger put Belle on the floor. He watched her for a while thinking what to do with her now that he wanted to rest and shut his eyes for a few hours.

Hmm...what to do?

Ding!

Aha! He got a nice plan. He will no longer imprison her inside the black circle, he will just put a spell on her that would alert him if she will leave the treehouse, the spell would automatically alert him of her whereabouts.

Just perfect!

His mouth moves and casts a dark spell on Belle. A cloud of black smoke enveloped the frozen woman.

A few minutes later, he was done casting a spell on her, he then unfroze her.

Jessy blinked her eyes, she was no longer surprised when she knew where they are.

"Belle, I'm going to shut my eyes for a few hours, I need my rest. You can sleep on the floor beside me or anywhere you want, just don't leave the house while I'm sleeping, goblins are hunting for their prey during this hour, I don't want to lose my future bride to the goblins for dinner, okay?" he was trying to touch her cheeks but she ducked out and avoided his hands in the process.

"Keep your hands off me!" she throws him a cold stare.

Jagger smiled. "For someone eager to marry me...you sound aloof and distant. And for someone who already married and got a boyfriend...hmm... you seem to like men a lot, then why are you giving me a cold shoulder right now...eh?"

Jessy gave him a dark look.

"Save your pervert fantasy on the wedding night, for now, refrain from touching me or else you will lose your bride!" she glared at him.

Jagger chuckled in amusement. "Okay fine, Belle, I will keep my hands on my side. Sweet dreams!" he went to the other side of the floor, then lie down, he looked at her one last time then wink at her playfully and shut his eyes to sleep.

Thirty minutes later.

Jessy was staring at the rise and fall of Jagger's chest, he was sound asleep already. Surprisingly, he didn't imprison her in the deadly black circle. He was confident even in his sleep not caring if she will escape and leave the treehouse.

But knowing him, he won't lower his guard down when it comes to her.

If her suspicion was right, he put this house in some kind of spell and if she will leave the house he will automatically open his eyes and capture her again. She was not afraid though, she can always make her escape anytime she wants.

All this time, she was just pretending that he had complete power over her.

All this time, she will try her hardest not to annoy him.

All this time that he was freezing her, she was aware of what's going on around her.

She just wants him to take her to his brother's hideout, she's been waiting for this opportunity for a long time and after she will know of the savage vampires' hideout she will kill Jagger, that will be the end of her association with him.
