Jane glues her eyes to the man on the couch in their living room.
"So the frozen iceberg has finally fallen in love?"
James has no acceptable expression, but it seems like the man on the couch doesn't care about his expression. All he's focused on is to get things rolling on and ready for use. Once he gets this couple doing a couple of mature things together, his work here...
Will be done!
"Watch it, Hyde. Start what you came here for and end it fast, I also have some things to say"
The voice of James predicts annoyance and anger. Rage that Hyde has spoiled their "Planned to be" Beautiful afternoon.
"To me? Or to-"
The glare of James turns Hyde question to his answer. Hyde keeps his mouth shut after releasing a chuckle that got everyone in the room, except James, shooting one of their eyebrows at Hyde.
Is it because James is taking it easy on him just because he's an elderly man? If James wishes to kill Hyde, he can do right here, right now.
But... He doesn't want to bring himself down and give himself a bad image in front of his Queen.
Does he?
Hyde's bright blue eyes scan the lady that he guesses is the wife of James.
"You got yourself a fresh one, James" he mumbles eyeing Jane sarcastically like he wants her to give him something from her body.
"What's your name, young Miss?"
Jane gulps seriously hard. She contemplates whether or not to tell him her name because her body is against this marriage counseling thing.
How can they be counseled when they aren't even on good terms? What good will that bring?!
"My name is Jane JerMc - " she keeps shut.
He might already know James' name, so what's the reason for repeating it?
"JerMcCharles" she completes shortly after.
She has started, it's still good if she finishes it.
Hyde stares at Jane with so much happiness in his eyes.
"Can someone tell me why James is always after the good things?"
His funny voice makes Jane smiles softly at him.
The Butlers, servants, and maids smile also and some of them join in the cocky laughter of Hyde.
James stares at each one of them with calm eyes...
Though calmer eyes whenever his eyes came to Jane. Kancial takes a deep breath unconsciously, making Raven turn to him from within the body they possess. Physically, their actions did not affect the bodies of Jane and James, but spiritually...
Kancial and Raven stare at each other with their blue eyes. Their scleras are white, but their pupils are blue.
They stare with so much interest and determination to get to know each other better.
Not as only humans, but as the spirits they are. They wish they can be spirits that will wander about and do whatever they feel like as the moon shines upon them and the night beauty will hit them hard, making Raven's beauty enhance a little. And the handsomeness of Kancial will also grow.
"Please have a seat dear"
Jane does as the elderly man says and Hyde's eyes went to James who is still standing and staring at her as she does what he (Hyde) asked her to do.
"Are you going to get a seat? Or are you going to just stand there and watch as your beauty obeys me?"
James creepily turns his neck to Hyde and glares at him. Everyone, there could have sworn that the heart of Hyde stopped functioning for some split seconds because of how James looked at him.
Yes, the heart of Hyde is covered by his flesh but with the way James glared at him and the way he returned the look in fear, no one can say they didn't see his heart burn for some seconds.
God, why is James this creepy these days?
Jane takes a seat on the same couch as Jane, making Jane adjust a little for him. James sat down by her right-hand side. Though Jane adjusted, some of their body parts still mix up with the closeness they have between them.
"Are you okay? Or should I-"
"It's fine," James says boldly.
Jane whispered but James said it out loud, making that the first notice Hyde notices.
There is still coldness in the character of James and that is not going to make this marriage that he's in a success.
"Okay... I think I have to introduce myself first before we proceed with this. My name is Mr. Hyde, a government worker that is assigned to give couples some counseling once they get newly wedded"
Government worker? He's a government worker?
"And, Mr. Iceberg here... " Jane looks up at James to see his reaction.
His eyes are narrowed to Hyde in a pretty suspicious way. If this man doesn't control his mouth, James will be forced to splatter his blood everywhere.
"Contacted me and said he needed to get counseled. So... Here I am"
Jane smiles a little and nods faintly. Well done.
"Can I know you, ma'am?" he asks
Jane looks at James. He rolls his eyes cause of the disgusting introduction Hyde just made.
Seeing that James is disgusted and not even looking at her nor Hyde, makes Jane sigh heavily, and then she started talking.
"My name is Jane JerMcCharles" Raven lets the spirit of Jane take over now.
"I use to be an entrepreneur coming from Las Vegas. A fashionista and a makeup artist. Always in the rich business"
Hyde smirks at Jane at her funny and braggy behavior.
"A fashionista, eh? Well, my wife will like someone like you"
Jane smiles widely. "Thank you, sir"
Hyde nods and smiles, conscious that the frozen iceberg still got his eyes narrowed at him, is beside her, and still got that look on his face.
"Hmmm... Okay. Well, My work here is to get you to know Mr. iceberg, and Mr. Iceberg gets to know y-"
"Can you stop calling him Mr. Iceberg?"
Hyde straightened his neck.
"Does he look like an iceberg?" Jane asks, trying to make her anger not reach the surface.
James' eyes widened as his disgusted feeling dissipates and he turns to Jane who is seated beside him in shock.
Is she defending him? Over the silence that was caused by him earlier?
"My apologies, ma'am"
Jane's face loosens up heading his apology. He seems like a nice man actually.
"So, Mr. I-" his eyes went to Jane.
"Mr. James here asked me to come to see the both of you. Especially you ma'am"
Hearing no reply makes Hyde proceed
"There are things you need to know about your husband, Mrs. Jane"
