Carl's POV:
After hearing the answer from Amelia, I headed back to my room in a daze.
What she said kept playing in my mind "Magic only has the power to change someone's appearance or
body.Under no circumstance can it change one's heart and soul.The so-called black magic which can
forcibly change someone's mind actually just turns someone into a walking corpse.Black magic doesn't
change one's mind; it erases it."
How could this be? Did this mean that Larry had lied to me? He had told me that black magic was the
answer to winning Jennifer's heart.
I paced my room back and forth, running my fingers through my hair anxiously.I didn't want to face the
facts, but it was evident that Amelia had no reason to lie to me.
After all, she had nothing to do with me, so why would she lie? In a trance, I took out my phone and
stared at Larry's number on the screen.
I was very confused with myself, unsure as to what exactly it was that I wanted.I knew that I liked
Jennifer.I had liked her ever since we were children.I had wanted to marry her since then.I never forgot
about her in the years we were apart.I could never forget how beautiful her blue eyes were.I could
never forget how soft her golden hair shone like the sun.
Whenever I stood next to her, I felt as warm as though the sun was shining on me.
Ah, my Jennifer, how much I loved her! I just wanted to be with her.
Little did I know that she was marrying another man, let alone the king.
Now, there was an insurmountable gap between my status and Jennifer's.
Over dinner, I noticed the way Anthony looked at her.
I knew the look in his eye; it told of a man who loved a woman deeply.
It was clear to me that he loved Jennifer, just as I loved her.
Yes, the fact of reality was that Jennifer and Anthony were a couple.
They loved each other deeply.
No one else could separate them.
I had already realized this.
But every time I saw Anthony by Jennifer's side, I couldn't help but feel jealous.I gritted my teeth in
anger.I hated myself.I hated myself for not being as noble as Anthony.I hated how fate was so unfair for
not letting me find Jennifer sooner.
Logic dictated to me that I shouldn't envy the king of the Osman Kingdom.
My feelings were unwarranted, but I couldn't seem to find a solution to make myself stop liking Jennifer.
Every single time I saw the way she looked at Anthony, I was so jealousy that I could barely stop
myself from flying into a fit of rage.
Clutching the phone in my hand, I sat on the bed and thought for a long time.
Finally, I took a deep breath and dialed the number Larry left me.I wanted to talk to him.
There was still a faint flame of hope flickering in my heart that refused to be doused.
The call quickly connected.I swallowed nervously, gritted my teeth, and asked, "Hello, is this Larry?"
"Yes, this is Larry," Larry replied in a low, hoarse voice.
"Who's this?"
"It's Carl." I tried my best to make my voice sound calm.
"You told me a while back that black magic could do anything.Can black magic make someone fall in
love with me?"
"Of course it can," Larry replied instantly.
"It's very simple.Just say the word and I would just need to wave my magic wand!"
I was stunned.
His answer was vasily different from Amelia's.
So, I doubted Larry's words.
"Are you lying to me? I've asked other wizards and they said that black magic can't change anyone's
mind.It can only turn someone into a walking corpse," I demanded fiercely.
"That's because they're not powerful enough!"
Larry sneered.
"Who am I? I'm the grand wizard Larry.How can those weaklings compare with me?"
I found myself nodding.
After all, Larry's words made sense.I took a deep breath and asked, "You said you wanted to cooperate
with me.Why do you want to help me?"
"Oh, Alpha Carl, it was obvious that you needed my help,"
Larry answered plainly.
"The truth is, we're on the same boat.I sympathize with you, my friend."
I didn't say a word.I didn't understand why Larry, a wizard as powerful as he claimed to be, was willing
to help me.I couldn't shake off my suspicion that he was lying and just using me to achieve some goal.
"Well, thank you for telling me this."
Then, without waiting for a response, I hung up the phone.
I stared at the blank phone screen in a daze, feeling empty and lost.
What on earth did I want? I didn't even know the answer to that question myself.
Absentmindedly browsing through my phone, my eyes landed on Jennifer's mame on my contact list.
I couldn't help but send her a message.I knew I was being too aggressive, but I texted her anyway.I
was an Alpha and she was the wife of the king, but I didn't care.
Jennifer's POV:
Tonight, Anthony and I had a big dinner to celebrate.
After that, Anthony took me to the garden for a walk.
The cool night wind seemed to blow away my fatigue.
"I've been busy for so long, I can't believe I can finally relax." I sighed with emotion.
"After we defeat Larry, we won't have to worry about a thing."
"I believe that we'll succeed.Evil can never prevail over good."
Anthony took my hand and smiled at me.
After our walk, Anthony and I retired to our room.
We decided to share a bath and unwind.
As soon as I slipped on my bathrobe, my phone on the bedside table buzzed.
I picked it up and found that it was Carl who texted.
"Jennifer, what're you up to?" it read.
I stared at my phone for a while, hesitating as to whether to reply or not.
I had promised Anthony that I would keep my distance from Carl, but Carl was my childhood playmate
and he had given me such a thoughtful gift.
It didn't seem like such a big deal to § simply reply to a text.
"What's the matter, honey?"
Anthony's voice suddenly sounded from behind me, then a pair of big hands wrapped around my waist.
I looked back and found that Anthony's eyes passed me and fell on my phone screen.
Oh no...
Anthony was going to be jealous again.
Sure enough, before I could say anything, Anthony grabbed my phone and stared at the message.
"Did he text you again? Why haven't you replied to him?"
Anthony's charming and magnetic voice echoed in my ears.
I turned to put my hands around his neck and said in a spoiled tone, "I was afraid that you would be
jealous, honey..."
"But I'm already jealous," Anthony replied in a low voice as he leaned forward and kissed my ear.
His big, warm hands began to caress my body.
His fingers reached up and pinched my nipple through the thin fabric of my bathrobe.
"How are you going to comfort your mate, sweetie?"
I snatched my phone out of Anthony's hand and threw it on the bed.
"What do you want to do to me, honey? Come on! Don't show me mercy."
As I spoke, I passionately kissed him back.
He continued stroking my body, awakening my sexual desire.
My phone buzzed a few more times, but we were too busy to care about it.
"Let's get in the bathtub," I suggested to Anthony.
"Okay."
Anthony scooped me up in his arms and carried me to the bathroom.
We kissed, tore off each other's bathrobes and slipped into the bathtub.I parted my legs and begged,
"Fuck me, Anthony.Shove your big cock inside me!"
"You're so fucking sexy, Jennifer!"
Anthony grunted as he inserted the cock into my pussy.
As he thrust in and out of me, water splashed all around us.
Fortunately, the bathtub was big.
We teased each other and made passionate love, hopelessly possessive of each other.
I kept crying out Anthony's name every time he shoved himself inside me.
Tonight was definitely going to be a romantic night.
