"Mom still owes me an explanation" gerundel Matthew, who was still curious about Amanda's encounter with her mother, told the publication.
"Whatever explanation? What debt explanation?" Allison pretended not to remember the child's question.
"Come on, Mom. Don't tease me," said Matthew, folding his lips exactly like a child.
"Yes-yes... Mom tell. Patience a little!" Allison chuckled and cupped her next to the child's cheek. "Amanda accidentally finds Mom in the barn and with her kindness, she takes Mom out of that scary place. Mom salutes her bravery, though...."
"Although what, Mom?" cut Matthew impatiently.
"Although his life was almost threatened because your father's men caught the girl sneaking into Mom's place of captivity," Allison replied.
"Then, how did Amanda survive? Because all I know, daddy and his men are equally cruel!" Matthew's two eyebrows are linked because they are too hard to think. "Didn't he seduce daddy's men, just as he seduces daddy?" matthew, though he knows very well that Amanda is not the girl she was accused of.
"There's a good girl, not what you thought she was, son.." Allison said to her son. "That night everything happened so fast. Mom could only watch the incident in plain sight without being able to do anything to help her, but Amanda was really brave. He fought your daddy's men and managed to shoot him" Allison said, recalling the night. This was his first meeting with Amanda.
"Amanda was indeed a very kind and innocent girl, but that was before. Before I know how he really is" said Matthew coldly. "It turns out she's the same as the other girls. Not seeing sincerity, but what he looked at was just luxury as well a good name! What am I lacking, Mom?" behind the disappointment.
Allison smiled bitterly and pulled Matthew's face to look at her. "Mom saw sincerity in the girl's eyes. Maybe there's something you don't know about the reason behind her marriage to your daddy?!"
Matthew lifted both his shoulders up. "Come, Mom. Thinking about him only makes me hate him even more!"
Allison placed her palm over the chest of the child. "Follow what your little heart says, son. Mommy is sure, deep down you actually trust the girl. You just need to lower your ego a little bit and learn to forgive...."
"Later to consider, Mom.." said Matthew, still fighting his own feelings.
Allison bobbing head. "You're exactly like your daddy, stubborn!!"
"No Mom. I'm not like daddy!" sergeant Matthew did not accept, when likened to the man he hated with all his heart.
"Then, prove it...! Prove that Allison's blood is stronger than Lucas Denver's blood in your veins!" challenge Allison to her son.
"Mom.." sulking Matthew, spoiled.
Allison twitched her son's two cheeks. "You're an adult, but you still act like a child!!"
Matthew grinned, revealing a pair of dimples on his cheeks. "I'm a little boy, Mom. And will always be your little boy, until anytime!"
"My naughty Boy..." Allison tugged at her son's cheeks while laughing crisply.
The old woman had already forgotten when was the last time she laughed like this. One thing is for sure, before her husband turned into a monster. She is the luckiest woman in the world for getting a husband as good and handsome as Lucas. However, everything changed as the man began to fall into the valley of disdain.
Allison nodded. "So did Mommy, son. There is no more happiness you ask God for because you are Mommy's only happiness...."
Matthew hugged Allison for the umpteenth time. As if he did not want to let go of the figure he loved so much, all his soul and body.
"And the happiness of both of us, can not be separated from Amanda's interference. Because of that girl, Mom can be here and meet you. Remember that all right, son...!" Allison gently stroked the top of her son's head. "Remove anger and grudge in your heart. Make peace with yourself because that is the real truth of happiness."
At this time, Matthew did not want to answer or respond to Allison's advice to him. He only needed to listen while digesting from the word that the wingless angel spoke to him.
...***...
One day before her husband's first hearing, Amanda needed time to clear her head. For one week, just shutting himself in the room, gradually made the twenty-year-old virgin feel bored. Moreover, there was nothing he could do in the palace. In addition to living the days like a queen from the middle of nowhere.
Today the blue benetra girl, back out of the palace through the secret door. He longed for the air of freedom, where it seemed as if he had slipped from the shackles of meaningless marriage, even if only temporarily.
In front of a quiet lake and accompanied by friction the sound of leaves blown by the wind. The girl pensively single-handedly, contemplating her increasingly unguided fate.
"Until when will my life be like this, Lord...?" moaning Amanda while throwing pebbles in the middle of the lake. "If only there was a lawyer who would willingly help me, but unfortunately it was just a delusion. Everything in this place, under Lucas' control. Then what can I do?" Amanda took a breath.
"Everybody has a choice. Whether we refuse or accept, for sure whatever it is there will be consequences of what we choose. Just like it was your folly to choose a husband because of his wealth," said a man who suddenly appeared from behind his back and stood so close to Amanda's body.
Amanda snorted in annoyance at recognizing the voice that spoke to her at this moment. He turned around at once and was shocked because his lips just stuck with someone's lips.
The girl instantly distanced her body by stepping backwards. However, someone pulled the girl's waist and re-collapsed the bodies of the two. "Where are you going, hm...? You kissed me first, then just left?"
"I-I was unintentional. I didn't know your position was that close!" sergeant Amanda, moving her body so that it can be separated from the men in front of her.
"really? Not for purposely stealing opportunities because you feel lonely, Mrs Lucas?" that cynical person, who was none other than Samuel.
Amanda stifled her wrath because of the man's carelessness towards her. "What do you mean, Captain Samuel?"
"Do I have to be clear, Mrs Lucas?" press Samuel. "Alright, I'm clear, maybe because your brain is less smart. So, it's hard to understand what I'm saying!"
Samuel tilted his head and exhaled a warm breath over Amanda's face. "You're a lonely woman who misses the caress of a man. Therefore, realize that I am standing near you. You pretended to be surprised to be able to fondle my lips, then ensnare me with that cheap body of yours! Right, guess?"
Amanda held the saliva and without thinking, she slapped a hard slap on Samuel's face. "One day, you will regret ever insulting me, Captain Samuel!!!"
