Chapter 38: Making a move in the family
It’s a gloomy day in Monteverde’s mansion. The sky is dark. It warns that any moment from now a heavy rain will happen. Flora is just looking outside of her window. She is just looking up at the sky. At a young age she is mesmerized every time before the rain starts. The gray sky, cold wind and the sound of thunder. It’s all mesmerized in her eyes.
” Flora ” She immediately turned her head when she heard the voice of her mother gently calling her.
” Yes, Mommy?” She asks as she walks towards her mother who is busy sewing handkerchiefs. Chantal has had a hobby of sewing since she was a child. It was the first thing that she learned from her mother that she likes.
” Can you give me a glass of water ?”
Flora nodded her head as she got her mother a glass of water. It was a peaceful afternoon in her room. Her sister is in her piano lessons, her brother is sleeping and now she is the only one left with her mother. It was rare for Fiona to leave with her because usually her sister is always on her mother’s side. And her mother’s attention is on her sickly brother.
” What are you thinking about Flora?” Chantal sweetly asks as she puts down the handkerchief on the side table.
” Why are you doing that? Are you going to give it to someone?” Flora innocently asks, which makes Chantal smile.
” It’s for the baby in my stomach” Chantal answered as she drink the glass of water that Flora gave her.
” Why?” Flora innocently asks, which makes Chantal giggle.
” Well, Because all of you had a handkerchief when you were born and the baby must have it also” Chantal answered as she put down the glass of water.
” Is that the flowery handkerchief that Yaya showed me? The one in the frame?” Flora excitedly asks, and Chantal answers with a sweet smile.
” Yes, That it’s. I made it for you when you are still in my belly. ” Chantal softly said as she leaned her back on the rocking chair.
” Lenox also had one and it’s also in the frame. His Yaya also put it in the frame!” Flora excitedly squealed that makes Chantal chuckle as her daughter is acting cute in front of her.
” Yes, I made it for all of you because I love the two of you,” Chantal sweetly said, which made Flora blush. She felt so warm about what her mother said to her.
Chantal is a good mother to all of her children. It’s just that sometimes her attention was focused on the youngest Lenox because of his weak immune system.
” Mommy, Can we go to the amusement park? My friend Rhian went there with her family. She said that they all enjoyed the amusement park rides ” Flora said while doing a puppy eye to her mother. Chantal just giggles as she gently pat her daughter.
” I will talk to your father about that ” Chantal softly answered that makes Flora pout.
” Dad, Will never let us go in the amusement park unless it was Ate Maxine’s request ” Flora mumbled that got the attention of Chantal.
” What did you say, Flora?” Chantal quickly asks.
Flora was startled a bit because of her mother’s sudden question of her word.
” N-nothing ” Flora shyly said as she turned her head away and ran away from her mother as she ran towards her playroom area.
” Flora!” Chantal called to Flora but Flora acted like she didn’t hear her mother and continued to go to her play area and acted like she was playing. She avoided the question because if she said to her mother what she just mumbled, she would be sure that her mother would think she is a bad child of thinking bad thoughts about her father. But it was true that Lorenzo is not close to Flora, His eyes are only settled to Maxine and Lenox that he often forgot that Flora exists.
After minutes of playing with her Nanny went inside her room bringing snacks for her and for her mother.
” Flora, Your favorite is here ” Chantal announced to Flora.
Flora immediately let go of her toys as she immediately ran towards her mother and got her favorite jam cookie. Chantal looked at Flora as she handed her choco drink to her.
” Tea is a great partner for jam cookies,” Chantal softly said as she wiped the crumbs of cookies on the side of Flora’s lips.
” I know but I don’t like the taste of tea, ” Flora answered. Chantal just chuckled as she signed Imela to pour a cup of tea for her.
” Mommy, You do really like tea ” Flora innocently said, which made Chantal smile.
” Well, your Grandparents really do love tea. I think I inherited it from them, ” Chantal answered as she reached her cup of tea.
” And aside from that, every snack time in our house. A tea is a must ” Chantal added that makes Flora nod out of amusement.
” What age do you taste your first tea Mommy?” Flora asks out of curiosity. Chantal looked at Flora as she playfully raised her right eyebrow same with her right side of lips.
Chantal put down her cup of tea as she put her right hands under her chin as she tried to remember when it started.
” Hmmmmmm…. Come to think of it. When did I start to drink it? I can’t really remember when? Maybe……at the age of 6? Or even younger than that” Chantal answered before she looked at Flora who was looking at the door.
” What is it, honey?” She sweetly asks as she looks at the door. And she saw a kid peeking at them.
” Maxine ”
IT’S A GLOOMY DARK AFTERNOON and the sound of music coming from the piano was echoing in the whole ground floor of the mansion.
” Bravo… Bravo… You are really talented Ms. Maxine!” Professor Rheylan said while clapping his hands.
Maxine gently nodded her head as she looked at her Teacher.
” Okay, That is your lesson for today and next week. We will start practicing for your next competition, ” He excitedly said.
Maxine just shows a little smile to her teacher as she stands up and walks towards the center table to get some water to drink.
” Ms. Maxine, I’m going to go now. I will meet your Father to report your performance for today’s lesson, ” Professor Rheylan said.
” Thank you Teacher Rheylan ” Maxine politely said to her teacher.
Professor Rheylan, Just nod his head before he walks outwards the room. As soon as Professor Rheylan left the room. Maxine immediately looks at the antique clock that hangs in the room.
She is thinking about where her mother is at this time. ” She is in the Lenox room for sure ” Maxine mumbled as she smiled and excitedly walked outwards to the music room while energetically hopping. As soon as she reached the stairs she quickly ran up the stairs and ran towards her brother’s room at the right annex of the mansion but when she opened the door. She didn’t see her mother but her brother sleeping soundly.
Maxine was puzzled and looked at her brother’s nanny.
” Where is mommy?” She immediately asks.
” She is in Lady Flora’s room ” The nanny politely answered. Maxine’s face became too sour as she quickly left the room of her brother. As soon as she steps outwards the room. She looks at the room of her Sister’s Flora that is located near the west annex of the house.
” Why is she there?” Maxine asks to herself while slowly walking towards her sister’s room. She sees her sister’s nanny bringing snacks to her room. She quickly walked as she tried to stop the door from closing. She quickly peeked and she immediately saw her mother sitting in the rocking chair while having a chat with Flora.
She suddenly feels jealous when she saw that the two of them are having fun while she is not there. Especially her mother. She throws a sharp stare at Flora enough for her to feel her presence.
Flora just stared at her out of shock that makes their mother follow where Flora is looking.
” Maxine ” Her mother softly called her name.
” What are you doing there? Peeking on us?” She heard her mother ask.
” Chantal” Maxine startled as her eyes widened and immediately turned as she immediately saw her Father standing in front of her.
” DADDY!” She squealed as she immediately threw herself through her dad.
Lorenzo just laughed because of his child’s sweet reaction. As he bent down and carried her.
” Hello, my princess ” Lorenzo greeted and after that they fully entered Flora’s room.
CHANTAL LOOKED at Flora as she gently reached her and pulled her at her side as she wrapped her hands around her. She knew that Lorenzo favoured their first born daughter and as a result Flora is always the neglected one. She already talked to Lorenzo about his treatment of his two daughters but he only told her that Maxine needs more attention than Flora who is not Genius like her older sister. She felt sorry for Flora. She wants to spend some time with her but her youngest one Lenox is born with a weak body. That is the reason why her attention for the past few years was poured to her youngest brother. And to not let her child be sad, She hired a trustworthy Nanny who will always make her feel warm. Whenever she is not around. But now his immune system and body is getting bigger. She planned to spend some time with Flora to catch up with the times that she lost.
Flora blush because her mother just did. She is hugging her from the back. She remembers the time that she felt jealous of her friends every time she saw their mother hugging them from the back. But from now on, She will not feel jealous because her mother is already hugging her.
Chantal looked at her husband ” Why are the two of you here? Maxine, is your piano lesson already finished?” Chantal softly asks her child. Maxine answered it enthusiastically by nodding her head.
” Yes! I quickly finished it, Mommy and my teacher also complimented me!” Maxine energetically answered before she went down from her father’s arms and ran towards their mother.
” That’s good to hear, Maxine,” Chantal said as she patted the head of her child Maxine.
Maxine felt happy when she felt her mother touch her head. She felt warm and relaxed but her mood was 360 degrees when she glanced at Flora who was hugging her mother.
” Mommy, I want it also!” Maxine protested as she harshly pulled Flora away from her mother’s hand and put herself. Chantal was surprised by Maxine’s action. She was going to say a word when her husband interrupted her.
” Kids, Can you leave us for a moment? I just need to talk to your mother for a bit, “ Lorenzo said to their kids.
Maxine pouted because her father said to move away from her mother.
” Melinda, Bring the kids outside ” Lorenzo ordered to Melinda that she obediently obeyed.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
When the two of them are the only people, Lorenzo’s face switches into a serious mode.
” Auntie Davina and Auntie Juveline will come here tomorrow. They will stay in the mansion for one week. Lorenzo said to Chantal.
Chantal just nodded her head as she watched her husband sitting across her. ” You know what to do, Chantal. Auntie Davina grew liking on you” Lorenzo continued as he crossed his legs and crossed his arms to have a deep thought.
” Auntie Juveline will not give support to any of the two of us because she has once been a candidate in succession, ” Lorenzo added as he looked at her wife Chantal.
” Don’t worry Lorenzo, I will handle Auntie Davina” Chantal gently answered as she stood up and walked towards her husband and sat down beside him.
Lorenzo held the hand of Chantal as he brought it to his lips and kissed it. ” Don’t you worry Chantal, Once I win the battle of succession we will live happily ” Lorenzo muttered as his kiss trailed from Chantal hands up to her arms until it reached the neck.
” I will make you the Queen of this mansion and the Queen of one of the most powerful families in the world, Just like what I promise. It will happen soon ” Lorenzo whispered as he sniffed the scent of Chantal on her neck.
” Okay, Lorenzo. I trust in you ” Chantal softly said as she patted the head of Lorenzo. She slightly quiver when she felt the breath of Lorenzo in her neck.
” I’m pregnant Lorenzo, Please” She whispered as she stopped his hands from moving up to her breast.
” Not in Flora’s room have some respect for your daughter ” She said to make her husband stop touching her.
” It’s okay to make love while you are pregnant. We are doing this before ” Lorenzo whispered that made Chantal gulp out of nervousness.
” It’s different. This is my last pregnancy, I should be careful, ” Chantal answered as she gasped when she felt her husband’s lips sucking the skin of neck.
” Let’s just create a plan for your Auntie visits. Every minute is important Lorenzo ” Chantal panicky said while pushing her husband’s head out of her neck. But Lorenzo didn’t listen to her wife as he moved his hand under his wife’s dress and immediately went to his wife’s braless breast.
” Your breast is still big. Are you still breastfeeding Lenox?” Lorenzo asks as he looks at his wife’s face who is red now because of embarrassment that she is feeling. She really doesn’t want this kind of thing in her daughter’s room.
” Yes, When I want to put him to sleep by myself ” Chantal answered as she tried to move her husband’s hands away from her breast.
” Really?” Lorenzo asks as she pinch her wife’s nipple.
” Wet ” Lorenzo commented as she quickly grabbed her breast and squeezed it. And a milk came out through her breast.
” You still have your milk” Lorenzo flirty comment as his hands started to massage her wife’s breast.
” Please, Lorenzo, not here. Let’s just go to our room ” Chantal quickly said as she used all of her strength to push Lorenzo away from her which she succeeded.
Lorenzo just chuckled as he helped her pregnant wife to stand up. Lorenzo held Chantal waist tightly as he kissed her shoulder before they started to walk outwards the room. When they went out they didn’t see the kids outside the room. In the mind of Chantal she knows that the two kids are in the Garden again playing.
The room of the couple is not that far away from Flora’s room. They immediately reached the room and once they entered the room. Lorenzo immediately tore away the back of the dress of Chantal as he immediately pulled her closer and savored her back.
Chantal just bite her lips because of the pain that she is feeling by her dress being torn by her husband.
This is one of the hidden personas of her husband. He is a masochist in terms of bed. It was his fetish to tear the dress that Chantal is wearing.
” I’m pregnant, Lorenzo ” Chantal reminded her husband as she tried to escape from her husband’s embrace.
This is the every night routine of Chantal being fetishized by her husband. She is different in front of others and in front of her husband. From demure respectable lady she will be a sex slave who will do a sexual things to please her husband. Just to make the harmony of their family peaceful. Since Lenox is born Chantal didn’t enjoy any sex with her husband because her libido goes down as she have a sexual dysfunction. She hide this information with her husband because she don’t want Lorenzo go find another woman like before because she can’t give him his sexual need.
That is the reason why she is a best actress in terms of bed.
” It’s okay Darling, I can be gentle” Lorenzo whispered as he nibbled his ears.
‘ Lie ‘
Lorenzo will not take easy to Chantal even if she is pregnant because she will not enjoy the s*x if there is no one who will be hurt tonight.
Lorenzo forcely turned Chantal to face him as he kissed her fully in mouth. This is the stress reliever of Lorenzo, Having Chantal every night.
Chantal tried to move away from Lorenzo’s kiss because he strongly bit her lips and harshly sipped her tongue. That caused her pain. Lorenzo’s kiss goes down to her wife’s bare chest as he planted a mark on their. Chantal squints everytime her husband leaves a mark on her because it’s so painful that it’s enough to make her cry.
She immediately wiped her tears because of pain as she hugged his head and pulled him closer to him. She does it to have support and to prevent herself from crying.
A shadow passed in her eyes. Chantal immediately looked around their room. And her eyes landed on the door that opened slightly open.
” Lorenzo, The door is not fully closed. Close it first ” Chantal said to her husband. Lorenzo looks up at Chantal as he casually sucks her breast while staring at her eyes. Ignoring what her wife said.
A pain was plastered to her face that made Lorenzo satisfied. He sucks it harshly that makes Chantal in pain. The way he sucks is way more hurtful than their children.
” Please, Lorenzo. Someone might see us ” Chantal said, which made Lorenzo stop and stand up straight.
” Okay, Darling ” Lorenzo said before he kissed Chantal cheeks as he walked towards the door.
Chantal looks at her chest and breast that are full of red marks that will turn into bruises in the morning. She didn’t feel aroused like before but she felt pain and the urge to finish this.
” Chantal come here, Darling “
