The Ghost Hunters and The Familiar Strangers

The Return Of Jones' Wife



"Do you want me?". Emerald asked.

Adam knew he shouldn't, every part of him told him not to but his heart was telling him something different. He pulled Emerald inside and shut the door as he looked into her eyes. He could see the desires in her eyes. If Emerald claims him now, he would be all over her while sooner or later she would be all over Reed. He was caught in between the devil and the deep blue sea not knowing what to do.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"Don't you want me?". Emerald asked when she noticed Adam wasn't making any advances toward her.

Adam bit his lips, trying to suppress the desire to kiss and bit until she moans out his name but he couldn't not in his condition. "You have no idea how tempting and seductive you are right now Emerald." He touched her hair as he pulled her chin up so he could look at her. "You have no idea how hard it is to stop myself from devouring you right now".

"Then what's stopping you?" she asked as she tried to kiss him but he moved away.

"I'm just not what you need Emerald". Emerald was shocked to hear him saying all this.

"Is there something you're not telling me?" She asked. "I mean... You were the person that told me you'll help me fight my desire for Reed and now you don't want to help me anymore? What's going on?". She asked.

"You belong to Reed now. He claimed you so you'll be his just like Laura belongs to Evan. We don't always have what we want. That's life". Adam explained and with one look at him, Emerald nodded and left.

Adam knew he would never get her back after sending her away like this, but it was for the best. Love is all about sacrifices, maybe this is his sacrifice to pay.

He needs to find someone to claim him within the next twenty-four hours or we'll say goodbye to Adam the good wine vampire and welcome Adam the bad and dangerous vampire. The choice is his. Would he allow any random girl to claim him or would he allow Emerald to claim him even though he knows the outcome?

Jones assisted Martina in the flower shop and he could say, he's loving the job. Is this what he had been missing??? He asked himself as a smile curled up his lips. "Why don't we call the kids over and we can have that family picnic you've all been talking about?". Martina was very happy to hear that. She was so happy that she kissed her husband just to show how grateful she is to him.

"I'll give them a call now". She said, calling Laura.

She called Laura several times, but she wasn't picking up so she called Ashley. Immediately, Ashley picked up the call. "Ash, are you home?".

"Yes, mom. Do you need help with the flowers?". Ashley asked.

"No, honey. Where's your sister?".

"Sleeping upstairs".

"Well, you guys should dress up and come over here. Your dad is planning to take us on a family picnic". She told Ashley, who was sounding so excited already. "Alright mom! I'll do just that. I love you, dad!". She screamed. Jones smiled. His wife hugged him. Finally, a family picnic after a decade.

Catherine- Reed's mom decided to go out for fresh air after a long day of taking care of her son's room. She needed the air to regain her lost strength. She decides the best place would be at the park. There are lots of exciting views there and also she has missed how the sun feels on her skin.

She strolled down to the park and as she was standing to take a look at the view, her eyes caught a familiar somebody. She saw the person moving with a woman and two daughters. She decided to follow them to see if the person she saw was the person she thinks it is or if maybe her eyes were playing tricks on her.

Everywhere they went, she followed after them.

"Dad, how do you feel, coming outside and feeling the sunshine?" the younger daughter asked.

"It feels good sweetheart. After so long, I finally got to take my family out". the man replied. The voice sounded so familiar, but how is she sure it was the person?. She just has to find that out herself.

Catherine waited until the man was alone, then she went to approach him. "Hi". She greeted the man.

"Hi". Jones replied. "Do I know you?". Jones asked.

Catherine used that medium to study his features and everything about him. "his eyes, his ears, his nose, his lips, his teeth, the sound of his voice. Everything is just like him". She thought looking at him. "Jones". She called trying to see if he was the one. "You're Jones right?". She asked.

Jones didn't know whether to reply or not. He was shocked to see that a stranger knows his name. "Listen, I have to go". Jones said as he tried to leave, but Catherine held him back.

"Does the name Eve ring a bell?" she asked.

"Eve?". Jones asked, trying to see if the name does ring a bell, then it finally hits him. Eve is the name of his ex-wife who ran away from him.

"If that name rings a bell, why don't you call me and we'll talk about it". Catherine said, giving Jones her contact card as she winked at him.

"Who was that?". Martina asked coming with the ice cream with the girls.

Jones quickly hid the card as he smiled collecting his ice cream from his wife. "Just someone who is crushing on your husband". He said planting a kiss on his wife's lips.

"I'm so tired". Laura said, stretching her tired muscles.

"Why don't you all go home and I'll be the one to close the shop, besides no vampire would dare to attack me". Jones said as Ashley laughed. Laura was tired of hearing the word vampire, that word alone can make her anger level rise to ninety percent at a stretch.

"Dad, don't you think you owe us an explanation?". she asked, folding her arms.

"I know, sweetheart, and I'll tell you all about it when I get home". He told her as she nodded.

Martina and the girls went home while they left Jones to take care of the shop but Jones didn't just have the shop to take care of, he had something else; His ex-wife.
