Maidstone, Kent, England.
Freya and Amber were still talking seriously in Freya's room. Not the main room but the room next to the main room.the room is not as big as the main room. However, it is enough to make Freya comfortable and at home. Passing through his lonely days, Edward never once accompanied him.
The room was renovated by Freya, as she wanted. Freya changed the paint color of the room to be mint green, featuring a surface that seemed fresh and cool. Freya also added ornamental plants to the decoration of her room. In addition to giving a more shady impression, various ornamental plants can be a refreshing decoration for the room, while the plants chosen by Freya are succulent plants.
Freya room with wooden floor or plywood makes the room in Freya seem natural and rustic. Not without purpose Freya renovates the room, besides aiming for comfort also because the paint color of the room is already very dull so that it makes the room dark and a little scary. Moreover, the room had been empty for a very long time.
"So what's your plan now?" Amber looks at Freya, hoping Freya has an idea that can free them from this thorny problem. Amber couldn't imagine how their lives would be after this. The shadow of poverty and straying approached him.
They have been accustomed to living comfortably without flaws, ever since Freya married Edward, though Freya did not get Edward's attention. Freya and her family's life is assured. Consider it the price Freya has to pay for the comfort of her family.
"Maybe Edward's brother was better and more generous to make us home and give us a little trust fund." Freya tried to comfort her aunt, rather comforting herself with the thought that Edward's brother would be generous to them. Freya sat on the edge of her bed.
Beds with a Vintage model made of ebony. curtains around the bed are slid on the edges of the four sides of the bed pole. curtains are white, while the bed is wooden.
"Are you sure, considering he's Edward's brother, I'm not sure, if Edward's cold and uncaring. Moreover, his brother who has no relationship with us and does not know us." Amber reminds Freya, if Freya forgets, how does Edward treat her? How cold Edward was to the Freya family and Amber was well aware of the flash of accusation in Edward's eyes to them. It was as if those eyes were telling Amber that they were a collection of parasites that did not deserve to be in her mansion.
Edward didn't even have to do friendly things to Freya's family. Edward underestimated them. It's an attitude Amber can't tolerate. Thankful Frank, Freya's father is in a less stable condition.
"I don't think, how can we make this place 'live', but someone else who enjoys, surely brother Edward, will ruthlessly drive us out, like his father expels his own wife and son." Amber continued, horrified to imagine. If Albert's parents had the heart to expel his wife and child mercilessly, let alone Edward's brother who did not know them, maybe even a grudge with those related to his family.
"So what should we do, auntie?" Freya is also very worried about their future, if only herself, Freya will be able to leave here and find a new job that can suffice her life. But she has to think of her father, the senile Frank Hathaway who needs extra attention, her aunt who has sacrificed her life to take care of little Freya after her mother died as well as some workers who have depended heavily on her.
"How much jewelry do you have?" Ask Amber.
"Why did aunt ask about jewelry?" Freya was confused by her aunt's intentions.
"It could be, it's enough, for us to start a new life after being cast out." Said Amber resignedly because of their helplessness. Amber thinks Freya has a little jewelry they can sell to survive and start a new life. But even that was not enough because they were not ready with the possibility to leave the mansion.
"That's not going to be enough, auntie, and auntie know for themselves Edward never bought me a gift except a wedding gift." Freya reminds Amber that Edward doesn't care about her. Edward also never bothered himself by pleasing Freya with small gifts.
Even during their marriage of six years, Edward only came home once six months to see the plantation and the factory, and then only for two days, he was in the mansion. Just the last time Edward lived a week in the mansion, perhaps he had felt that his life would not be long and died in Maidstone.
Seeing Freya taking care of everything well, Edward grew more and more unconcerned. He just took the money to spend in London. Freya is not not trying to get closer to Edward and try to get Edward interested in him, but Edward always rejects him even with harsh words. Increasingly makes Freya inferior and unattractive. Freya did not even feel beautiful anymore because she was often ignored by Edward.
When Freya asks Edward to come with her to London, Edward scolds her and threatens to divorce Freya and expel her and her family from the mansion. Since then Freya has only accepted her fate. It was free to argue with Edward because it was certain Freya would not win. Freya used to give up, so that Edward would not divorce her.
Wanted him to leave, but couldn't because so many people depended on him. Finally Freya busy themselves with taking care of the mansion, wineries, making sure their wine is well maintained so as to produce quality wine, which is good quality, both to be sold directly or to be the basic ingredients of wine processed in the factory itself.
"We still have hope, baby." Amber smiled as she came up with a brilliant idea, she said. Even if Amber's idea is very risky for the survival of all of them. However, that was the only way he could think of. Freya herself doesn't even know what to do. So that's the only way they can do it.
"When did that man, Edward's brother, come here?" Ask Amber again. He approached Freya who was sitting on the edge of the bed and sitting next to Freya.
"According to information from Sir Drake, the new Sir Horisson will be here in about two weeks." Freya still wonders what her aunt's plans are.
"That means we still have a chance." Amber stood up then glanced at Freya's body from top to bottom.
"Perfects." Her retort that made Freya even more confused, what was her aunt thinking?
