Chapter 158 Mother...
Vieva looked at him with both of her hands on her waist. She was annoyed by his attitude. She had never seen a man like Jack, who was so weak in front of her yet so overbearing.
'I can't seem to do anything against him.' She thought and a pout formed on her face.
"I am gonna leave if you keep acting like this." She said while pointing at him.
Jack looked at her with a smile on his face. "You can if you want to," Jack said with a straight face.
There was no Ero Meter prompt for him so he was not too scared to say it.
"Hmph..." Vieva snorted and with a click of her finger she disappeared from his site, nothing remained of her even her sweet scent disappeared in thin air.
It was as if she was never there, to begin with, she came like a ghost and disappeared just as quickly.
Jack saw her vanishing and his smile stayed on his face, he knew that she would come back eventually.
He saw her Ero Meter before she vanished and it was still full and even her heart was at one point.
Which means everything was going smoothly and if not today then soon enough she will be his.
He relaxed back on the sofa and after some minutes of contemplation, he stood up and picked up his bathrobe and wore it again.
He looked around the living area and remembered the events that just happened there.
He could have lost his life if anything went out of place, there was no other option than dying for him.
However, with the help of his Ero Meter and through some perseverance, he was now one step closer to filling Vieva's hearts.
'She said that I should not pursue the matter of Rick anymore.' He thought while moving up the stairs.
He also remembered the information he received with the help of his Ero Meter and his book.
'He is pretty dangerous and unpredictable, just as I thought...' He sighed. 'But I have to intervene in this matter for the safety of my girls or things could go out of hand anytime.'
He remembered what his truth meter told him if he didn't do anything about Rick then he would kill all of his girls and even Vieva.
He didn't want that to happen. He moved to the upper floor hallway and looked at the rooms.
He thought for a moment and decided to go to Cassie's room again, he didn't wanna disturb anyone in the middle of the night and he was already sleeping with her so she would be too disturbed.
He entered her room and saw her sleeping soundly while holding her pillow tightly. Jack could see that she was in a deep sleep.
Jack removed his bathrobe and cuddled her.
Outside his room, in the hallway, Nicole's door opened and she stepped out in the night suit.
She looked at Cassie's door and moved down the living area to look around. She searched the kitchen and other rooms, however, she didn't find anything.
After some time of looking around for something she went back to her room and slept inside.
.....
Inside Vieva's old-looking mansion, she appeared inside her living area with a flustered expression on her face.
She adjusted her dress and closed her eyes for a few seconds to calm her emotions down.
"I have never seen you so flustered." Suddenly a voice rang in her ears and she opened her eyes to look at a young girl in front of her.
The young girl was Echo and she had an amusing smile on her face.
"It's none of your business," Vieva said and sat on the sofa, she then clicked her finger and a whiskey bottle and glass appeared in front of her.
Echo's smile widened at Vivea's condition, 'There is definitely something wrong with Mother, she has never acted so flustered before. Even when she faced that giant creature.'
She moved and sat in front of Vieva and filled herself with a peg of whisky.
"Tell me Mother, who is it that made you like this? I can teach that person a lesson in your place." Echo said to tease her, she knew that if her mother couldn't solve a problem then it would be impossible for her to do so.
She was saying this just to tease her.
"Shut up you bratty girl," Vieva said and looked at Echo with her eyes narrowed, anger clearly visible on her face.
Echo listened to her words and subconsciously moved back, she had seen her mother's anger and it was not pretty.
'Why is she acting like a bitch today...' She thought and decided to not tease her anymore.
She moved one of her legs over the other and leaned back, keeping her silence.
She knew that the best thing to do in this situation was to stay silent, the less is more in the case of Vieva.
The more she will do to make up for her mistake the more chances there were to mess things up.
And although Vieva won't kill her as she was her daughter, there could be a lot of pain in store for her.
She would do everything her except kill her and that could be even worse than death sometimes.
Vieva saw her turning silent and moved back and leaned on the sofa herself. 'That guy, he is the first one to trigger me so much!' She thought and took in a deep breath. She was thinking about Jack.
"What happened to the guy I sent you to look after?" Vieva asked her voice, calmer than ever.
Echo remembered about Rick and a disgusted expression appeared on her face.
"Eww... Don't ever send me to keep an eye on such disgusting creeps again..." She said with a voice that sounded like she was about to vomit if she spoke some more.
Vieva closed her eyes at her words and clenched her fist, she then looked at her again.
"Did you keep an eye on him?" She asked with Veins popping on her forehead.
"Yes I did, but he started fapping at the photo of an old lady and I came back, I didn't want to peep at someone masturbating," Echo said in a nonchalant voice.
"I told you that he was an important target. How can you be so careless?" Vieva said while banging her first on the sofa chairs.
"Important target?" Echo snickered. "A pervert?!"
Vieva gritted her teeth at her words, she was getting a headache.
"You are so pathetic! Did I make a mistake giving you a chance?" Vieva leaned back on the sofa and took in another deep breath to calm herself down.
She then clicked her finger and a small green-coloured demon appeared on her shoulder.
The demon had small limbs and a bug belly, he looked at Echo with a wide smile on his face.
"Hahaha...!" A loud laughter reverberated in the whole area and the demon jumped from Vieva's shoulder and landed on the table in front.
Echo listened to the laughter and gulped her saliva, a terrified expression appeared on her face and she quickly stood up from the sofa and moved back.
"Mother..." She took a few steps back as sweat formed on her forehead.
"I said you are useless," Vieva said calmly while taking a sip of whisky from her glass.
Echo's breath got stuck in her throat as tears formed in her eyes.
She looked at the demon again and quickly kneeled down on the floor. Her head banged on the floor and tears started dripping down her eyes.
"Mother... I am sorry, please give me another chance." She started begging, her previous bratty attitude was nowhere to be seen.
Vieva looked at her condition and closed her eyes.
"I never wanted to do this, but you have left me no choice." She opened her eyes again and her blue eyes were darker than before.
Echo banged her head on the floor again.
"Mother, please... I beg you..." She begged again.
She started banging her head on the floor again and again.
"I gave you some leeway before, thinking that you would act like a good daughter, but it seems like my family always disappoints me." Vieva waved her finger and the small green demon jumped down on the floor.
The demon soon stood in front of Echo, his smile getting wider and wider with each passing second.
"Mother, Please, just this once..." Echo started sobbing loudly.
"Hahaha...!" Suddenly another terrifying laughter rang in Echo's ears making her shiver.
She moved her head up slightly and looked at the demon. "Mom, please take it back... I promise I will be a good girl from now on." She looked Vieva in the eyes.
Vieva noticed her hopeful expression and sighed. She contemplated in silence for a few seconds and then sighed again.
'I can't kill her right now, creating another daughter like her would take a lot of time, something I don't have.' She clicked her finger on the sofa.
'But she has become such a bratty girl, She might create more problems if I let her be.' More and more thoughts started running through her mind.
