I Love You, Monster: The Blindfolded Wife x The Masked Husband

"Is all this really necessary? Aren’t you just going to re-do the marriage ceremony?" Mrs. Chen curiously asked. Well, she knew that her son and Davi already got married five years ago so why was there a need to apply for a new marriage license?

That moment, everyone, except for Zaki looked at Sei with a questioning look while Sei looked like he was currently in the middle of one of the greatest disasters in his life so his expression was obviously not good.

Realizing that he didn’t have a choice but to tell them the truth, Sei raised his hand and he rubbed the back of his neck as he finally spoke.

"Truth is we aren’t legally married anymore. And Davi still doesn’t know it." He said and everyone’s eyes widened with shock. Huh? What does he mean they’re not legally married anymore?

Everyone in the family sat still, greatly shocked at the new revelation and Hinari was the first to recover. However, before she could react about the shocking news, her eyes became even wider the moment she saw Davi standing in the stairs.

Hinari gasped loudly as her mouth quivered.

"D-d-davi..." she uttered and as soon as Sei heard Hinari, Sei’s eyes widened in shock and apprehension. His fear was confirmed when he saw his family’s faces in front of him. They were all frozen in shock and they sat there with wide eyes as they looked past him to the slim figure, who also stood rooted on the spot.

’Oh my god, how much did she hear?’ was the words that were flashing into each person’s eyes.

Sei, at that moment, was attacked by an onslaught of emotions competing to take first place. Fear, apprehension, worry, shock and panic all took to the ring and the one that won the fight was fear and in second place was panic. His heart was beating so fast as the adrenaline kicked in and he couldn’t help but scold himself for being careless. All this time that he had been speaking to his family, he was careful to make sure to listen for any signs of movement coming from the stairs which would have indicated her arrival. However, he couldn’t hear anything because Davi had used the special skills she gained from training in the army and crept down, as silent as a ghost.

He was currently paralyzed by fear and his body didn’t respond when his brain told it to move. Never in his life had he felt so afraid. He didn’t want to ever lose his Davi again. Once in a lifetime was enough and if it happened again, especially if she left him by choice this time around, his world would crumble into nothing. Even though Sei believed in Davi, believed that her love for him wasn’t something that could be easily broken just because of a misunderstanding, Sei still couldn’t help but feel worried. After all, he understood that hearing this would definitely shock her to the core and this was why he tried his best to hide this from her even though he didn’t want to lie to his dearest Davi.

Forcing himself to turn around, he saw her frozen figure and the moment their eyes met, his fear intensified and his dark aura exploded like an atomic bomb. This was because he saw the hurt and disbelief in her eyes which made him lose control. His heart felt like it was being smashed into billion pieces with just a single glance into those eyes.

That moment, everyone fell silent and no one dared to make a move or a sound. It was as if everyone was dumbstruck, like they were watching a falling comet that was about to crush them all, until Sei suddenly broke the suffocating silence and he began running towards her.

Seeing Sei taking quick strides, Davi snapped from the shock and her feet suddenly moved as well. Before she knew it, she was already running up the stairs.

While Davi was running away, a devil and angel started fighting inside her mind.

’No, Davi... why are you running? I’m sure your dearest Sei has a good reason for this. Don’t run! Stay and listen to him.’

’What? You guys aren’t legally married anymore? Is it because he destroyed your marriage certificate? Why would he destroy them? Was it because he thought that you weren’t coming back anymore and he wanted to go back to being single so he could marry another woman?’

’Nonsense! If Sei wanted another woman, why did he wait for five long years? Sei remained loyal no matter what happened. He didn’t even consider any woman in that time! Davi, please don’t doubt your husband. You know how much he loves you.’

’Well, you might be right but how could she not doubt? Why did he hide this from her in the first place?’

’That’s why they need to talk. I’m sure that Sei has his reasons. He might have really felt so afraid that he couldn’t tell her.’

’You told Davi not to doubt him, but isn’t Sei the one doubting Davi by not telling her? Doesn’t this show that his trust in her is not deep enough?’

’Shut up devil, you’re so annoying. Stop speculating things and making things worse! Don’t listen to him Davi, please only listen to your Sei and no one else!’

As the white little bun with a yellow halo and a black little bun with red little horns kept bantering inside Davi’s mind, a hand suddenly caught her waist before her feet could leave the last step of the stairs. The hands were strong and he gripped her tightly before he locked her onto his chest.

He leaned his head at the nook of her neck while Davi listened to his loud palpitating heart. His hand seemed to be trembling a bit and seeing that, Davi’s heart squeezed in pain. Was her Sei so afraid that his hands were trembling like this?

"Davi, I’m so sorry for hiding this from you. I... I will explain, please don’t run away..." he stopped as he tried to find the right words to say. His warm breath on her neck was like a sweet touch of an angel’s hand, whispering to her to calm down and listen to him.

"I’m so sorry. This happened because of my foolishness... please let’s talk about this, okay?" Sei continued and when Davi heard the fear and sadness and defeat in Sei’s voice as he asked to talk to her, her heart softened and she felt her racing mind calm down and her heartbeat slowly go back to normal. Well, she felt from the bottom of her heart that Sei would never have hide this from her without a good reason. She knew that his feelings for her were real and that there had to be a good reason for all of this. So, deciding that there was only one way to find out the truth, she gathered her courage and determination. She was about to raise her hand and pat his head when her phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated.

The vibration of the phone also indicated that the message was one that was of the highest priority so even when Davi was at this state, her sense of duty immediately struck, causing her to slip her hand on her pocket and lift the phone in her hand.

[Sargeant, please head towards XX mall. There’s a high-jacking situation which could turn into a blood bath and your skill is needed. The general has announced that your presence is required immediately. Head straight towards this location...]

The message Davi received was a code, indicating that this mission was confidential and was a high priority, meaning mass numbers of people were currently at stake and they could all die at any moment. By also contacting a military personnel like her only meant that the police was having a hard time.

Realizing this, Davi’s soldier mode suddenly blazed. Of course, Sei immediately felt this and he also saw the coded message but before he could decode it, Davi had already put it back in her pocket.

"I’m sorry, Sei. I can’t talk right now. There’s an emergency mission. There’s been an incident and they need my help." She said as she calmly removed Sei’s hand on her waist. She looked at him, suppressing all the emotions she was currently feeling and her aura became more controlled yet dangerous.

Seeing Sei standing there, his eyes pleading for her to give him a chance to explain, made her almost want to go against the order, but her five years of physical and mental training pulled through and knowing that people’s lives could be in her hands made her decide to leave and postpone their heart to heart talk.

Without waiting for Sei’s approval, Davi quickly ran towards her room and changed into her uniform. In no time at all, she opened the door and quickly stepped out.

Without wasting any more time, she headed downstairs, her aura now as cold and dangerous as ever. She looked at Sei meaningfully for a second as if telling him the words ’I’ll be back as soon as I can’ before she stepped out of the house. Not knowing that Sei who could understand her just by her single glance, didn’t actually understood her message this time, simply because his system was currently in the process of shutting down.

After that, Davi hastily walked away. She didn’t even stop to say her goodbyes to the still stupefied Chen family before climbing into the car already waiting outside for her.

Back in the lounge, the Chen family was in a great panic. When they saw Davi come down the stairs, they could feel her dangerous, no-nonsense aura engulfing them. They quickly thought that this meant Davi was very angry over what she heard and that she was now leaving them, leaving Sei.

The elders felt like doomsday had arrived and Mrs. Chen almost wanted to faint. Oh my, what are we going to do now? We can’t have her leave again or else our Sei will go back being an ice statue again for the rest of his life! What should we do? And what’s with her clothes?!

In the middle of confusion and panic, all eyes fell to Sei who remained rooted on the main door, looking at the direction where the military car that fetched Davi disappeared to.

Mr. and Mrs. Chen slowly walked towards him. Well, they knew how reliable this son of theirs. There’s no problem or crisis that he couldn’t solve, no matter how great it was. That was why, somehow, the couple recovered fast because they believe that their great son will solve this crisis in no time. He was after all the man who will always stand still and even grow stronger than ever when chaos strikes.

However, as soon as they reached him and Mrs. Chen was about to speak, Sei moved but to everyone’s surprise, the great man stumbled on his own feet and he nearly fell. Gladly, he was able to hold onto the window frame.

Seeing this, everyone was shocked, except of course, Zaki who still looked like his spirit was flying in wonderland.

Oh my god! What’s happening to you son? Why do you look even worse than us?!

Sei looked exactly like an abandoned and dejected puppy that everyone couldn’t help but utter the words ’are we witnessing the downfall of the king?’ deep within them.

Aside from Zaki, everyone never saw this side of him before. They didn’t know that this monster could also look this weak and hopeless. They didn’t know that Sei’s heart and mind could turned 360 degrees when it comes to his wife. Especially that this was actually the first time Sei and Davi somehow experienced a situation as severe as this. Well, to these two loveydovey who never experienced a real couple’s fight until now, to Sei, this experience was as severe as a third degree burn.

Dear son, hold on, why do you look like your Davi just asked for a divorce? This is just a misunderstanding, okay? Where did our valiant and strong as iron Sei disappeared to? Give him back so he could solve this ASAP!
