My Heart only Beats for You

Yesseca was baffled by what she had just heard.

Tremaine had come to see so late at night, only to ask her this?

Why would she go to Nashaland with him?

Before Yesseca could ask him this, he suddenly commanded her with an air of superiority. "Pack your things, I'm taking you to Nashaland. You will live there with me from now on."

After a brief pause, Tremaine added, "Don't worry. Nashaland will be a lot better than it is here in Agaphen City. You'll be treated with respect over there."

Yesseca looked at him with her mouth agape.

She then asked, "Why should I go to Nashaland with you?"

"No reason!"

"Then why should I go?" Yesseca asked.

Tremaine frowned.

He said stiffly, "Because you are my woman, you have to come to Nashaland with me!"

Yesseca blushed.

When had she become Tremaine's woman?

Red faced she asked, "Stop with this nonsense. When did I become your woman?"

Tremaine's frown deepened.

There were some things he wanted to tell her, but he couldn't say them.

Tremaine only managed to say, "What, just because you're a silly goose, does that mean you can't be my woman?"

This sentence made no sense out of context.

A regular would have no idea what it meant.

But, Yesseca understood.

She felt insulted.

Tremaine called her a silly goose, that's why she was his woman!

So the reason he wanted her to go to Nashaland with him was simply to be made fun of for his own amusement.

He was the personal bodyguard of the president of Nashaland after all.

The job must be dangerous and quite boring. He needed to find a clown to make fun of.

But why was he looking for her?

She wasn't a member of the circus!
