Lady Shadowhive and her Demon Butler Lucius Dracovich. PT 2

Restless Thoughts (short)

While the Lady Shadowhive, or i should say Lady Phantomhive, attends to her business in London, let us look back at how Lord Phantomhive is using his time in Jade's absence.

Ciel's POV

Three days...Three days since i heard her voice... she sent me a letter upon her arrival at the hotel and after her first day of the investigation. She told me of a strange ring she received while investigating...then the letters stopped. Had something happened to my beloved wife.. was she in the clutches of the kidnappers? I growled annoyed and gripped my head as i shouted at myself to stop. I had been driving myself to the edges of insanity with these thoughts. I could barely sleep without images of her being held against her will invading my mind. I was exhausted...mentally and physically from the worry i felt for my Jade..

"Young Master..."

I looked up at the door and saw Sebastian enter holding a tray with a single envelope. Was it her? Had jade finally sent me another letter.... I took the letter from him and opened it up.

Dear Lord Phantomhive,

I gave you my congratulations at your wedding, although she may not have recognized me i knew her all too well. She may have gotten a little taller, her body may have curved more, but she is still the same weak and scared little girl as before. Yes, it is I. The infamous man your wife speaks of. The man she has deemed from the rumors i heard as the Man with the Scar. I must say she is not very imaginative when it comes to names, then again that is all i am to her i suppose. Just a man with a scar. I wish you to deliver a message to your little wifey. Should she really wish to see me tell her that i will be in town for the next few months.
Forever Haunting her thoughts, Man with Scar.

I couldn't believe it.. He was wanting to get in contact with her... that ... that fool!! I crumbled the letter in my hands and then tore it to shreds.

"Sebastian... dispose of all traces of this letter.. the envelope.. the letter itself.. everything.. not a single trace of it is to be left in this manor. Jade is not to know this man is taunting her."

Sebastian bowed to me and left with the shreds of paper. I turned myself around in my desk chair and looked out the window. Jade must be very busy with her investigation... but if i were to send her word that a letter of this nature arrived she would stop in an instant. I hate to lie to her, but this is for her own safety...her own pride. I looked down at my hands and gazed upon my family ring as well as my wedding ring on my fingers. A duty of the husband is to protect his wife from anything that might harm her... This man is an obvious threat to her safety as well as her feeling of security. If she found out that he tried to make contact with her, i have no idea what she would do... Would she fall apart...would she pursue him. I cant let her do that.. i cant let her put herself in danger. I looked at her old letters and felt myself waver with guilt for keeping this a secret from her. I sighed and held my head in my hands with my elbows propped up on my desk. Jade..... would you forgive me if you ever found out that i destroyed this letter.... would you be angry and try to leave. I dont know what will happen now that this letter has shown itself in our lives. All i know is that the letter is destroyed....and my wife has not spoken a word to me in her voice or in letters for three days... and im worried. I turned and looked out the window of my office while staying seated in my chair. Jade....

Sebastian's POV

I sighed again as i finished burying the ashes of the letter under the roses in his garden. He had been worrying himself sick over her absence....if only i could tell him what she was preoccupied with.. a cold chuckle emitted from my throat. Yes.... his so called faithful wife... in the arms of her butler..no.. the arms of her demon. I walked through the garden between the rows of pruned white roses with my hands by my side as i thought of how many ways i could hint or imply her fidelity being in question... perhaps suggesting to write her more letters... or maybe have him go to her hotel in the city for a surprise visit. Oh how lovely it would be to have him catch her in the act... and after all he is doing for her. My master would have an even sweeter taste to his soul when this rage becomes fueled by her infidelity.... Hmm.. but its odd... i never knew how annoying it would be to have information and be unable to share it with my master... but its as i thought... only a matter of time before she gets caught.. All i have to do now... is wait.
