85 Respect is earned (2) “There you are. I thought I was going to grow old waiting for everyone to come to the table,” Edmund said from his seat at the dining table. “You are old,” Edgar replied. “Well, then older you little shit. Tell me, how on earth did you fall in love with my son?” Edmund looked to Alessandra for an answer because he could not understand why such a lovely lady was with his devil of a son. “What is there not to fall in love with when it comes to me, father?”…

84 Respect is earned (1) “You stole her spot. Do you think it is alright for someone like you to just waltz into our life? Certain types of people should never cross paths with one another. I am sure Edgar did not go looking for someone like you so you must have made sure you crossed paths with him. You are nothing more than a status leech,” Priscilla spat. She has seen many women like Alessandra before. “Our meeting was merely a coincidence but now, I am starting to believe it is fate. Rather…

83 Clash of wives (4) “Not if I ban them. Fuck,” Edgar released her hand now that they were a good distance from his parents but looking back where they came from, he saw his mother once again chasing after him with Heather to her side. “Heather is someone my mother has always pushed for me to marry. Do not let that upset you.” “It doesn’t,” Alessandra honestly replied. “If you wanted to be with her, I wouldn’t be standing here. I don’t want to run, Edgar. I’m not afraid of what…

82 Clash of wives (3) “Edgar! Do not walk away from your mother. I have a right to be involved with who becomes the Duchess. Edgar!” Priscilla called for her son as she hurried after him but Edgar did not once slow down his pace. “This boy will be the death of me. Hurry before we lose him, Heather.” Heather was right on Priscilla’s heel chasing after Edgar. ‘When will this end?’ She wondered. Why was she being dragged further into Priscilla’s desperation to control who Edgar married?…

81 Clash of wives (2) “Young master. Your mother is here” Alfred knocked on the door of Edgar’s office. “Send her away,” Edgar replied as he was not in the mood to deal with his mother. He had little to no information on the person taking the young girls and after putting it on hold to spend time with Alessandra there was a lot to be done by the end of the day along with his other work. “Is that how you greet your mother, Edgar?” Priscilla entered the room, ignoring Alfred advising…

80 Clash of wives (1) “Do you care for a bit of alcohol before you go to bed? It will help ease your nerves though I think you should not be nervous after sitting on my lap. Do you want some?” Edgar poured a glass for himself. The empty plates of food were placed outside their door on the trays they were brought in for someone to take when they passed by. After a quick freshing up in the bathroom to clean their mouths, all that remained now was the alcohol. “Just a tiny bit,” Alessandra…

79 Comfortable (3) “This is a lot more than what I was expecting tonight, Alessandra. I certainly did not think you had it in you to be this bold but I am enjoying this. It is not too late for you to get up before you die of nervousness.” Edgar kept his hands by his side in order to avoid touching her until she said something to let him know that she was comfortable. This was a little pointless considering she was sitting right above something that would soon have her running for the hills once…

78 Comfortable (2) Alessandra stared at Edgar, unable to give a response to his words. Eventually, she had to break eye contact as tears were threatening to form in her eyes but she wished to not cry. It had been a long time since anyone referred to her as being beautiful and did not laugh once her back was turned. Not even her own father could look her in the eye and give her a compliment on her appearance. In her youth, she hated her beauty because her father would parade her around like a doll…

77 Comfortable (1) “Speaking of Sally, I had an interesting conversation with her before you arrived. She thought you were rushing to sleep with me, which is why we are eating in our bedroom tonight. I told her no and she brought up this ridiculous notion that you must be looking to get pleasure from another woman,” Alessandra informed Edgar. “Well, it happens quite often for people who have arranged marriages. There is no love and the married couple does not speak with one another. Everyone…

76 Our way (2) Alessandra quickly realized that had she not been in a contract with Edgar where they communicated things with each other, Sally’s words would have her panicking about her relationship with her husband. In Sally’s eyes, it was only one night that Alessandra and Edgar were not going to be intimate but she was already thinking he would seek pleasure elsewhere. Alessandra figured them being newlyweds played a role in Sally’s thoughts but was it expected men would want to touch their…
