Hiding in the Devil's Bed (by Malea Cox) novel Chapter 304

Chapter 304

At that, Paul was completely stunned.

“Miss Monica…” he stammered.

“Honey! Honey!” Monica threw herself at Paul, nuzzling and nibbling at his face.

She clung to him like an octopus, wrapping herself all over him.

Most men would dream of being in his shoes right now.

But all Paul felt was pure terror, his heart pounding in his chest.

“Miss Monica, please, what are you doing? Miss Monica, stop…,” he pleaded, his voice trembling as he tried to pull away.

He tried to dodge, but Monica was relentless, showering his face with kisses.

Landon lay on the bed, cracking one eye open to watch the whole scene play out.

‘So that’s what that thing does!‘ he snickered to himself.

Good thing he’d been cautious–while pretending to be affected and kissing Monica, he’d made sure she took the stuff herself.

After taking it, the first man she laid eyes on would automatically become her Honey in her mind..

‘I wonder if there’s an antidote for this,’ Landon wondered.

If not, Monica would be stuck clinging to Paul, who was even older than her father, for the rest of her life.

‘Haw–haw, serves you right!‘ Landon thought, barely able to contain his laughter.

“Miss Monica, please, don’t take off my clothes…” Paul pleaded, his voice trembling.

‘Oh my god! This is wild! She’s already trying to strip him—are they about to put on a live adult show?‘ Landon thought, his eyes widening in shock.

He quickly shut his eyes, silently reciting something from the Bible to calm himself.

‘Please, just take it outside! Spare my poor ears!’ Landon grumbled inwardly, his face flushing with embarrassment.

The ruckus was so loud that it finally alerted Monroe.

He rushed over, stunned for a second when he saw Monica all over Paul.

Then, without hesitation, he quickly hauled Monica off.

“Daddy?” Monica blinked, suddenly realizing it was someone else.

Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she pouted. “Daddy, what are you doing? I’m trying to kiss my Honey!”

“Monica, look at him closely! Who is he?” Monroe shouted, his voice filled with urgency.

Monica stared at Paul, her gaze growing more and more infatuated, as if her vision was filled with pink hearts.

“Daddy, he’s my Honey!” Monica’s voice was so sweet and coy that it could melt anyone’s heart.

Paul’s knees nearly buckled, while Monroe’s temples throbbed with exasperation.

‘t be really still asleep? he wondered, suspicion flickering in his eyes.

Die Monica taking the thing really have nothing to do with him?” he thought, his doubts growing stronger.

“Landon!” Monroe raised his voice.

Landon frowned, shook his head a little, and slowly opened his eyes, asking in a weak voice, “What’s wrong now?”

“Were you awake just now?” Monroe pressed.

“Huh?” Landon looked utterly confused. “What do you mean?”

Landon blinked, still looking lost. “What’s wrong?”

Landon’s acting was so spot–on that Monroe could only barely convince himself that Landon wasn’t the one stirring up trouble this time.

“Could it be Paul?‘ Monroe wondered, shooting a frosty glare at the butler.

Sensing the glare, Paul shrank back nervously, his voice shaking as he said, “I–I have no idea why Miss Monica is acting like this…”

He’d been serving the Montgomery family for ten years–he’d practically watched Monica grow up like his own daughter!

‘Why is she suddenly all over me?‘ Paul thought, completely at a loss.

‘Am I really that irresistible?‘ he thought, half in disbelief, half in self–mockery.

“Damn, I always thought I’d be stuck as a servant for life–who knew I’d ever get a shot at moving up in the world?‘ Paul’s heart thumped with wild

excitement.

If I married Miss Monica… he mused, his imagination running wild.

He was secretly over the moon–after being single for half his life, his heart and soul had been bone–dry for ages.

Now, he felt like he was coming back to life, blooming all over again!

He was so pleased, but he didn’t dare let it show on his face—he could only keep up his humble act. “Mr. Monroe, do you think Miss Monica’s been possessed or something?”

“Shut up!” Monroe snapped, dragging Monica away. “Let’s just pretend none of this ever happened.”

“Of course!” Paul stammered.

He couldn’t help but feel a pang of regret inside.

‘Man, when luck like this falls from the sky, you’re supposed to just go with it! Why did I have to push her away so hard just now?‘ he thought, kicking himself for missing out.

Chapter 204

Landen sat on the bed, seeing right through all of Paul’s little schemes and secret thoughts.

Then he pretended to be asleep again.

Monica was yanked downstairs by Monroe, totally pissed off. “Daddy, what are you doing?”

“Did you eat the love spell?” Monroe demanded.

“What love spell?” Monica blinked, looking completely lost.

Monroe rubbed his forehead, speechless.

He’d forgotten–anyone who took the love spell wouldn’t remember taking it, or anything that happened in the ten minutes before.

That was the real genius of the love spell–it worked so subtly that no one even noticed, but it could totally mess with one’s head.

“Monica, pack your bags and leave the country now,” Monroe ordered.

“No way!” Monica rejected, and meanwhile couldn’t stop imagining her Honey’s face.

“Daddy, where’s my Honey? Promise you won’t hurt him, okay?” she swooned.

“As long as you do as I say, I won’t lay a finger on him,” Monroe said in a deep breath.

“If you dare hurt him, I’ll kill myself right in front of you!” Monica threatened, her voice fierce. “And I’m not leaving! I want to stay with my Honey!”

Then she yelled at the top of her lungs, “Honey! Honey, where are you?”

Paul wanted to answer but didn’t dare–he just hovered nervously at the corner of the stairs, frozen in hesitation.

‘So that’s what the love spell does…‘ he realized, a sudden clarity hitting him.

“Honey! Honey!” Monica called out even louder.

As her Honey didn’t show up after several shouts, she snapped at Monroe, “Daddy, look what you did! You scared him off! Just go away!”

Monroe was both furious and speechless.

“If you won’t leave, then I will!” Monica got up in a huff. “Honey, let’s go travel abroad together!”

‘I wish I could, but Mr. Monroe would have my head!‘ Paul thought.

“Honey?” Monica called out a few more times, but still got no response. She burst into tears, feeling wronged. “Honey, are you just going to ignore me? Are you scared of my dad? You all say you love me, but where is it? Liars! You’re all liars!”

It was impossible not to be under the power of the love spell.

The love it created was so intense that it could drive anyone completely crazy.

“Mr. Monroe, maybe we should just humor her for now?” Paul cautiously peeked out from his hiding spot and suggested.

The moment Monica saw him, she rushed over as if nothing else mattered. “Honey, there you are!”
