65 A storm named Edgar (1) “I am not jealous of what relationship you two have,” Edgar felt the need to clarify this as Alfred still did not look convinced and he did not want Alessandra to think there were feelings involved to make him feel this way. “I am simply not the type to share my wife and I would love to avoid rumors of you cheating on me with a cook.” “If it is true that Mario has feelings for me, I don’t think he would ever do anything out of line especially now that I am…

64 Getting to know each other (2) “What is your father like? I heard I would get along with him well,” Alessandra switched to Edmund. “You heard right. Contrary to what many think, my father is more of a laid-back kind of man especially now that he has retired from getting involved in any type of politics. He had picked up gardening for some strange reason. Buy him a flower and call it a day. Let’s move from me to you. Are there any relatives you actually care for?” Edgar asked.…

63 Getting to know each other (1) “Outside of getting slapped, how has your experience here been? Do you find our bedroom to your liking?” “Was there really a need to bring up the slap?” Alessandra sighed. From the moment they had come back inside after all the servants had greeted her, things were going well between Edgar and Alessandra until they sat down at the dining table and this was the first thing he had to say. “I don’t see anything wrong with stating the obvious negative…

62 When enemies meet (3) William rubbed the small patch of hair under his chin as he contemplated if Kate could give him what he wanted. “You were convincing me up until you spoke about becoming the wife of my enemy. I’d prefer it if a man like Edgar Collins stopped breathing altogether. He is a nuisance to me.” “I want him alive,” Kate said. She was not going to do anything only for Edgar to end up dead. “Well, you have lost me. Using my resources to help you climb in status only for…

61 When enemies meet (2) “Is this the daughter you had with him?” William smiled only to taunt Katrina. “Don’t you think I should be given something in return for losing the other one to Edgar?” “Not my daughter,” Katrina angrily replied. Kate and Alessandra were two different people in her life. As a mother, she would never let Kate be with a man like William. “Get the hell out of my house before I have you thrown out of it, William.” “Throw me out? This is not the way you…

60 When enemies meet (1) “I swear if one more person visits us empty-handed and fills my ears with their memories of Desmond I will lose my mind,” Katrina sighed as one more carriage left their property. “Only a few of them came with money and gifts to try and cheer me up. If only I could turn away the ones who come with nothing. Close the door, James.” Katrina’s feet were sore from standing around conversing with visitors who came to give their condolences. Her mouth ached from having to…

59 Gather the servants (3) “You are making it harder for me to like you,” Edgar said. “Sally?” Alessandra wasn’t aware anyone was following behind the two of them as she heard no footsteps. Had Sally been purposely following behind them to hear what they were speaking about or was she genuinely not trying to interrupt their conversation? If it was the latter, it was common courtesy to make your presence known in case something private might be said. “I wasn’t trying to eavesdrop…

58 Gather the servants (2) Sally did a double take of the sight before her as she walked into the Collins estate. As soon as you entered you were greeted by the sight of Alessandra placing ointment on Edgar’s chest. ‘Don’t they have other rooms to do this?’ She thought. “I’m going to have Alfred burn my shirt in case any of those bugs are in there. Please promise me you will not bring any of those into our home whenever I upset you. Try killing me instead.” “Edgar, please don’t…

57 Gather the servants (1) Alessandra and Alfred looked at each other wondering who should be the one to start speaking first. Edgar’s calm demeanor while he was clearly upset made the two uneasy. “Alfred,” Alessandra decided to be the first to break the tension. “You should bring the ointment. I will speak with Edgar about what happened.” “I will be back as fast as I can,” said Alfred. He left the two newlyweds to talk in peace. “Where is Sally?” Alessandra looked behind…

56 Conflict (2) “What?” Jennifer’s mouth fell open upon hearing she could be thrown into the dungeon. Her sweat turned cold as the stories of Edgar’s dungeon came rushing back to her. Alessandra was being unnecessary by ordering this.”This is uncalled for.” Jennifer surprised her own self after she slapped Alessandra and wanted to apologize but Alessandra did not give her the chance to. A slap to Jennifer’s face would have made things equal but Alessandra wanted to go the extra mile to…
