Azalea My Wife

"Please boss..... master..... my lord..... forgive us we didn't know she was your wife.... Please we beg of you". The men are almost kissing the ground while asking for forgiveness.

"Now this is the sight I don't really like to see". Jack lazily lean back to his throne. "I am actually more than a fair man... If you do me good, I'll give you better, if you give me your best I can give you everything you want, but of course.... if you tried to harm the people I care about I will make you suffer, don't you think that's fair? ". He is smiling like a devil with his phoenix eyes that giving them shivers.

"If you're a fair man like you said then give us fair treatment. We honestly didn't know she's your wife if we do we won't take the job". The leader of the group is making a negotiation with the Demon King himself.

"Do you really think that what you just said is fair too?". He won't be outsmarted by a small hooligan like this. "If she was your poor wife will you just let her die on that field or woods, alone?". He was looking at them and shaming their reason to kill.

"But she didn't die. Besides your a very rich man you can have all the woman you want more beautiful than her. She's very ugly, if she dies you can marry again!". The crazy looking guy can't help himself and voice out his opinion. He thought he can convince him just to choose another wife for himself.

Jack's aura dropped to negative zero and his eyes are burning in rage. His gaze was fixed to the man who called his wife ugly.

"How dare you call my wife ugly!". He is almost spitting fire. "My wife is a Goddess. The purest and kindest one... How dare you slandered her in front of me!". His rage was beyond their imagination now.

Salazar stood up and walked beside the crazy looking guy. "Do you want to see what ugly really means?". He took his carving knife and use it to his face.

The man screamed and tried to run away from him but he can't other guards hold him steady. He was in tremendous pain and ask forgiveness for his intrusion. Salazar stopped and went back to his seat like there's nothing happened. No one in their group speak again.

"This is the last time I will ask you". Jack is dead serious this time. "Who is your middleman?".

"We don't really know him but all we know is he's always at the Labyrinth of Hera club and he is one of the VIP there, if you have a sketch artist I'll try to describe him to you". Said the leader of the group.

Jack smiled at them. He look satisfied with his answer. He look at Corbin and he wave his hands. Corbin knows what he meant.

"Congratulations you did survive today". Corbin called for their men. "Take them to a nice room and attend to their wounds also gave them something to eat they must be starving". He gave their men a detailed instruction.

The four remaining men felt relieved they thought they are free and forgiven and they are very thankful. They were ushered by the other guards to their designated rooms.

"Are you going to release them?". Salazar was wondering why he is very considerate to them.

"Who said I will release them, after what they did to my wife!". He rose from his seat and went to see his pets. "They need clean and fresh meats". He puts his palm on the glass wall of the aquarium and a ferocious shark comes and snuggle his nose to the center of his palm and he was delighted.

This scene always amazes Salazar and Corbin. Jack looks like he have a connection to the blood predator of the sea. They look like they understand each other.

Night at Shin mansion.

Azalea was waiting for her husband the whole day but she fell asleep. When she wakes up she saw a bouquet of roses in different colors and she saw a note inside it.

( I love to watch you sleep you look so peaceful but I hope you were dreaming only of me. I LOVE YOU Azalea my wife)

She covers her mouth and scream in excitement and whine in pain. She forgot she's still wounded. She quickly moved and went to the bathroom and clean herself in an instant. Then went down. She look for Jack and found him in the kitchen.

"What is he doing?". She whispered her question to Butler Chan when she saw him standing in the corner.

"The master is trying to cook for you madam". He simply replied to her.

Azalea smiled widely. She wants to jump for joy at this moment because she feels like she's the luckiest woman in the world. The most gorgeous man she met became her husband and now he is cooking for her.

Jack is having a hard time cooking. He burnt the fried fish, destroyed the egg roll and almost melted the vegetables. He was scratching his head and he was confused he followed the instructions on the recipe book but he can't even fry a fish to perfection. He is resting his hands on his waist and looking at the wasted food. He sigh deeply.

"That looks different?". Azalea is looking at the cooked food Jack made for her.

"What are you doing here?". He was surprised to see his wife inside the kitchen.

"I came to see you!". She smiled and hug his waist from behind. "Did you cooked that for me?". She is being sweet to her husband cuddling him.

Jack felt embarrassed. He tried to cook for her but it didn't turn out well. He turned around and face her.

"I'll ask the servants to prepare another meal for you. I don't think this are edible". He was looking at her and looked at the food he cooked. He wants to impress her but he failed.

"No!..... You cooked that for me, that's mine, I will eat it". She released him and took the food to the dining table.

Jack wants to stop her but she already took his cooked food and run when she turned around, she sticks her tongue out then giggles. He was left standing in the kitchen watching his wife's back fading. He just shook his head and laughed.

"Let's eat!". Azalea have her husband's home cooked meal on her side and she has no intention of sharing it to anyone. She becomes greedy.

"Aren't you going to give me some of my food?". He is wondering what his own cooked food taste like his wife eats with full of gusto and he got curious about it.

"No..... This is all mine". She is smiling widely at him and eat as fast as she can. She intend to finish it all by herself.

"Greedy!". But he was delighted that she loves the food that he personally cooked for her.

After they're done eating they went to the living room. They talked and cuddle each other. Jack was careful he knows Azalea's wound are not yet healed. After sometime she asked for a glass of water to the servant but Jack volunteered to get it for her. When he was almost near the kitchen he heard the servants conversation.

"Did the madam really finished all the food the master cooked for her?". One of the servant can't believed what she just heard.

"Yes, she eats like it was the most delicious food she ever had in her life". The sound of amazement is in the other servant's voice.

"Maybe the food didn't looked good but taste better?".

"Let's try then".

The three servants tried the left over food from Azalea's plate and after a second they spit it out in disgust.

"Are you sure the madam ate all this?".

"Yes I saw it with my own two eyes".

"Did she lose her sense of taste after her accident?". One of the servant assumed.

"If the madam eat this everyday I'm sure she will meet her creator earlier than her time". The last servant was worried about Azalea's health.

"You three, hold your tongue if the master hears you, you're finished". The old chef of the house was only listening but he can't help himself to scold the three woman. "The madam didn't lose her taste buds, she is just in love with our master". He saw the three women's face turned confused.

He shook his head. "The madam is very much in love with the master, even if the master cook poison for her she will eat it like it was the most tasting delicacy in the whole world". He sigh deeply. "Just like my wife before, she eats everything I cook even though she doesn't like it. When I found out my cooking skills aren't that good I study just to cook for her and she was delighted". He is smiling like his story happened yesterday.

"Can you teach me how to cook?". Jack came in the kitchen unannounced. He heard everything but he was grateful because he found out something that's very helpful to him.

The chef and the servants bow down to him. They wefe frightened they thought he would be mad at them and throw them outside.

"Is my food really that bad?". He is looking at them waiting for an answer. But no one dared to speak they were terrified. "It's okay I need to know. I don't want to cause harm to my wife's health". His eyes are almost begging.

One servant took a glance on him and saw how sad his eyes are. She felt pity for her master.

"If we speak, can you promise we will still have jobs for the coming days?". She was reluctant but when she saw him nod she raised her head and speak. "Your cooking is the worst master. The egg taste like ocean, the fish is like a bittet rubber and the veggies almost melt with the water". She pour out everything in one go.

Jack sigh. "I really need a crush course for cooking". He looks at his personal chef. "Please take me as your student". He was looking at him and saw a shocked on his face then he suddenly nod and smiled at him. "Thank you". And Jack left after taking a bottle of water.
