In a palace garden, close to an artificial lake. Standing there was a lush willow tree, quieting down in the last gust of wind. Emma leaned against her big, sturdy body, staring at the lake water that was not rippling. Some lotus blooms pretty on the surface, it's a sweet purple stain blending in the greenness of its leaf stems.
Until the swift footsteps of a horse, attract the center of attention. Emma lifted her head and looked. Her retina caught a man in white and gold embroidered clothes, riding on a brown horse that carried the aura of authority of his master.
The aristocratic man's good looks always made Emma unsaturated to look at him.
"Your Majesty" Just as the horse stopped in front, Emma placed one of her hands on the chest, the other one holding her long dress and her body bowed gracefully.
"Have you waited a long time?" Rajeev gently rubbed the head of his beloved horse and his eyes stared at Emma. Seeing the woman look charming in a fresh light green dress that makes her look united with the surrounding scenery.
"Not too long" Emma shook her head with a small smile on her lips.
"Come on" Rajeev reached out his gloved hand, taking Emma up on his horse.
Emma greeted the helping hand and found her small waist slowly pulling and she was already sitting on a horse. Behind him was Rajeev's burly chest, which was so comfortable to lean on and his two sturdy arms flanking his small right-left body.
Rajeev pulled the reins and the very obedient brown horse returned to walk calmly down the streets of the Palace garden area full of lush grass.
"How did you meet him that night?" Rajeev came down his head slightly, smelling Emma's black hair that gave off the alluring scent of red roses.
"It's not going well" Emma can feel traces of Rajeev's nose shaft kissing his head hair.
"He didn't welcome you?"
"Um"
"It's hard to believe, doesn't he love you anymore hum?" Rajeev pulls out Emma's strands of hair and plays them to the lips with sensual gestures.
"I don't know" There was regret and disappointment in his eyes, when he remembered the night where he was ignored by Egbert and driven away like a piece of trash that disturbed the scenery.
"He was once a slave to your love, I'm sure it won't be that easy for him to forget your whereabouts" Rajeev said after saying that he bent down and bit Emma's lobe.
Making Emma bite her lower lip, holding the centrum ready to sting her all over the nerve cells in her body.
"But it seems like it's going to be difficult, considering I tried to kill him, he must hate me so much now" Emma was quite pessimistic about herself that she could now still conquer Egbert's heart like she used to. Make the man come to his knees below him, pull the back of his hand and kiss him softly...
It seems like it's never going to happen again.
"Then there are benefits to your charm. Just show your remorse and make her fall back on you" Rajeev holds Emma's shoulders and a sly smile is imprinted on her beautiful face.
"Don't that sound like I'm overestimating myself?" Emma looked back, her almond eyes staring deep into Rajeev's ever-dark eyes with an evil aura.
"Maybe..." Rajeev stared deep into the bottom of Emma's eyes without any special emotion and his index finger gently stroked the woman's tapered cheek, continuing "But not really"
"..."
"However you are the only flower that ever bloomed in his heart. As long as no one has replaced you, you just have to come bring her back to life" Rajeev's lips curled sharply upwards forming a smile full of traces of evil.
"..." - ".Emma blinked her eyes and her gaze was diverted from the handsome object, towards the willow tree whose occasional leaf stem swayed beautifully due to the gusts of wind.
But it didn't last long, as Rajeev pulled his face and the man's mouth that kept falling down silenced his lips with a kiss.
The surrounding silence had been mixed with their long, deep kiss of passion and hunting.
......................
After arriving at Aldrich's school, Egbert parked his car and Annette moved down. The woman hurriedly entered the school grounds. Egbert got out of his car and quietly followed him from behind.
The glasses woman turned to Annette who looked stupefied with a face filled with anxiety.
"Let's kids, mom's out first"
She walked out of the classroom and stood in front of Annette.
"Sorry mom, what's going on?" He asked politely as he held onto Annette's trembling shoulders.
"By the morning Aldrich was no longer home. Is my son inside?" Annette hopes Egbert's speculation is correct that her son is in school now.
The woman fixed the position of her glasses and symbolized a concerned look, "No Ma'am. I didn't see Aldrich in class at all today"
"Ah, so she's not here" Annette's shoulder had already fallen into a tailspin of disappointment, along with that sweet little girl's voice coming in the doorway.
"Beautiful aunt, is her aunt adlic?" Her lisp voice instantly caught Annette's attention.
"Yes" Nod Annette quickly.
"I know where Adlic is"
The eyeballs instantly shook with a glimmer of a smile, "Can you tell Auntie where she is?"
"Eum" Nodded the little girl cutely, "She's behind the school. He said he didn't want to go to class, if he wanted to play cat"
Annette smiled in relief hearing that. Half bent down and held gently on the sweet boy's shoulder, he said, "Thank you, you are beautiful, you already know Auntie"
"Eum"
Then Annette stood straight back up and smiled politely at the bespectacled woman, "Sorry for interrupting your teaching activities Mom, then excuse me"
The woman just smiled politely and Annette immediately ran to the back of the school. Egbert who saw it, again just followed him from behind.
As the little girl said, Aldrich was there with a black-and-white furry kitten in his lap. Annette couldn't help but exclaim, "Aldrich.."
Aldrich stopped stroking the head of the kitten on his lap and turned to the origin of the sound. It was none other than his mother who had come running towards him.
"I'm sorry mom, I'm so sorry to bully you last night" Annette jostled to the ground, no matter how dirty her clothes got, she hugged Aldrich tightly.
Aldrich's little lips quietly moved faintly, hiding a trace of a smile of satisfaction.
Releasing her embrace, Annette teary-eyed mused over her son's handsome face, "Honey, forgive mama okay?"
"..." - ".Aldrich has no voice. Until his retina catches the body figure walking behind. His eyes continue to grow disliking.
"Now we go home, okay? you don't need to go to class today" Annette cupped her son's two cold little cheeks.
"No want"
"Darling, you still don't want to forgive mom?
"No" insisted Aldrich, "Until mama chooses.." Aldrich's eyes glared sharply at Egbert who was already standing before them.
"Me or that guy?"
