Carlos was stunned. "Is that right?" Wiping the dried blood at the corner of Chelsea's lips.
"This is because I told Daddy to rest first," she whispered.
“T-then I slapped you?” Chelsea nodded slowly, actually she didn't want to bring up last night's terrible incident, but she had to tell Carlos the impact of Margareth's behavior last night.
“Th-this?” Carlos touched Chelsea's bruised wrist.
"Daddy crossed my arms above my head and gripped so tightly."
"Don't tell your shoulder that I did it too?"
Chelsea just smiled. "That's okay. What's clear is that Daddy can escape the influence of that damn drug."
“O-what medicine? I don't understand." Carlos stared blankly at Chelsea. He really felt guilty towards his wife. How ferocious was it last night that Chelsea was injured like this?
"I remember last night Daddy drank mother's green tea, right? And in the afternoon when I was waiting for Daddy to come home, Mother told me she had found a way to have Daddy completely. I'm sure this is what mom means, but I'm very grateful to Daddy, preferring to hold back and lock himself in the room so he won't look for Mom out.”
Carlos leaned against the head of the bed, "Is that so?" he muttered, trying to remember the terrible incident that Chelsea experienced.
Slowly his memory emerged, when he felt his body could no longer be controlled. Actually, Carlos wanted to meet Chelsea to complete all of these desires, but he knew that he was in a bad condition, so he chose to lock himself and throw his room key in any direction so he would not find a way out.
He realized that Vano had a spare key so Carlos was sure that tomorrow morning he could get out without having to look for the key first.
And this is what Carlos was afraid of last night if he went to Chelsea and begged her to help get him off the hook for drugs. Carlos is also sure that last night he took a drug that enhances desire but he doesn't remember where the drug came from so it could enter his body.
When Chelsea reminded him of Margareth's green tea, of course he didn't need to guess, let alone weigh. He was sure that all of this was the work of Margaret who wanted to get it completely.
But that's not what Carlos wants to know about right now, for Margareth's business later he can talk about it directly with the woman.
Now the problem is, where did Chelsea get the spare key to her room? Meanwhile, all this time it was Vano who held the key, so Carlos remained surprised at Chelsea. There was a question mark in his head, he wanted to ask but Carlos was afraid that Chelsea would be offended and feel like he was being wrongly accused.
"Why, Dad?" Chelsea asked, trying to sit up, even though her groin felt increasingly uncertain at the moment. Serving Carlos with an ordinary passion Chelsea has been abrasions here and there especially under the influence of drugs like last night.
Of course Chelsea is sure that the core of her body is currently injured too.
“Daddy, remember that all of this could have come from tea made by your mother. But may Daddy ask where did you get access to enter this room?”
Chelsea's eyes rounded. Surprised that Carlos was focused on key matters instead of Margareth's tea.
"I got it from Vano."
“Vano? Does he not suspect that we are in a relationship? What is wrong with her …"
"Of course not." Chelsea tried to stay calm. *I told him there was an important matter I wanted to discuss with Daddy, and at the same time I also said that Daddy promised me to pay the UKT fees on campus. Because I forgot to mention it and when I contacted Daddy he never picked up, I was forced to meet Daddy in the room. I don't know if it was luck or what, when I met Vano to question Daddy, he was already asleep and was too lazy to argue with me for a long time, so he handed me the key. He also said Daddy that sleeping is very difficult to wake up. "So Vano said, if you really need money for UKT tomorrow morning, please go into Daddy's room and wake him up yourself," said Chelsea, stringing a short lie, even though she knew it wouldn't necessarily make Carlos believe her, but there was no harm in Chelsea trying to cover up her relationship with Vano. so that Carlos doesn't think that his marriage is just to take advantage of that man.
And to be honest until now it is a fear for Chelsea. Afraid that Carlos knows his and Vano's big secret. Hopefully, before the secret is revealed, Chelsea has been able to expel the presence of her mother in their lives so that Chelsea can easily explain to Carlos that so far their marriage has been based on love, not cooperation.
Upset Margareth returned to her room after more than three hours of waiting for Carlos in front of her door. There was no sign of the man coming out let alone meeting him in the room.
The house also looked deserted and Margareth's eyes began to get sleepy. With a feeling of disappointment he let Carlos in the room. In his mind the man didn't work with the drug Kevin gave him earlier, but he didn't know that in the room there Chelsea was the person Carlos used to vent his wild desires.
To the extent that her daughter was no longer able to move and became unconscious because of Carlos. If only Margaret knew that the capsule given by Kevin had turned Carlos into a man who was thirsty for romance, of course he would be happy to do anything to be able to serve that man.
But unfortunately even Chelsea who became the target.
“How can you give me cheap capsules so there is no response from my lover. All night he slept peacefully, no signs of anything. I was so tired waiting for him at his door because I couldn't wait to feel the hot game because of the capsule. You liar!” Margaret grumbled at Kevin who seemed to be wearing his clothes.
He said the man was going to campus to take the exam. Meanwhile, Chelsea and Vano have not had any confirmation about their exams on campus. But Margaret still believed every word that came out of Kevin's mouth.
Kevin reached for his cell phone which was still active making a video call with Margareth.
“It is impossible for anyone to be free from the capsule's entanglement. As you know I'm always vicious in bed while serving you. It even makes you speechless. I don't think the capsule is the problem.
But your boyfriend."
"Why are you blaming my girlfriend?" Of course, Margareth didn't accept it because Kevin accused Carlos of being the problem because he was very sure that it was the capsule that Kevin gave him that wasn't working properly.
"The proof is, even though he has consumed the capsule, he still remains calm without any resistance. You also told me that you never got any service from him even though you teased him in such a way. Therefore, he is not a real man but a man who loves the same sex and so does not have any desire for a woman.
The relationship with you is just to cover up her relationship with a man. I am very confident."
Kevin outlined his own analysis. Margareth wanted to no longer think about Carlos, but just focus on him. The more Margareth needs it, the more money she will get from that middle-aged woman. If Margareth could get warmth from other men, Kevin would no longer be able to sell high prices to her.
Margaret shook her head. “No, I don't believe your words. How dare you accuse my lover like that.”
"If it weren't like that, of course last night you would have screamed with pleasure instead of nagging at me early in the morning like this. Instead of you nagging incoherently, it's better to end the call and tease him who knows there are still some residual effects of the drug."
"I don't want to. It's only been a few hours and it doesn't work, let alone one night has passed. Of course he even scolded me if he dared to tease himself early in the morning like this. Besides, the room is locked. I am not a demon who can penetrate that wooden door.”
"Yes, then find your other fun because I'm going to college." Without waiting for Margareth's approval, Kevin immediately ended the connected call between them. The man looked irritated if he talked to her for too long.
Realizing that Kevin didn't want to be disturbed, Margareth certainly didn't call the man back. He sat pensively on the edge of the bed and thought how to get Carlos intact.
Using drugs alone is not capable let alone do not use at all. Margaret was really dizzy thinking about her relationship with Carlos, which was getting stretched day by day. There was no longer Carlos's usual affectionate greetings, let alone attention for him.
Everything had changed since they lived in this house.
"You don't need to go to college yet, okay?" Carlos very carefully laid Chelsea back on the bed after helping his wife clean up in the bathroom. Like a jar that is brittle and cracked, Carlos is now treating Chelsea very gently.
Chelsea was also forced to only wear Carlos' shirt as a bandage because it was impossible for the man to enter her room to get clothes.
"Fine, Daddy," said Chelsea, trying to sit up, but Carlos held her back.
"Where are you going again?"
“I want to go back to my room, Dad. How are you going to come in, Mom? Later he would see me lying here in this state too, of course Mother would become even more suspicious that we were in a special relationship. And I don't want that to happen."
“I don't believe your mother. I don't want to leave you in this state. I will also stay at home watching over you until you get better."
"What about Daddy's work at the office?"
“Why do I have a secretary if I'm still bothered and obliged to go to the office? As far as I can remember today there was no important meeting or business meeting. Just normal work and of course my secretary can handle it later. You don't need to worry about my work, the important thing is that you're in good health now."
"I am alright." Chelsea held Carlos' hand. It still hurts, but that's okay, the important thing is that Carlos is no longer suspicious about the key he got from Vano.
Carlos had never thought that he and Vano had been in cahoots with each other.
"Daddy, why are you looking at me like that?" Kani asked the question after a few moments of silence. Carlos looked pensive looking at his sad face.
"Daddy sees you're not well after what happened last night. I don't know what kind of fear you feel when serving Daddy. I swear Daddy really feels bad for you Chelsea.”
"Dad, it can't be like that. Besides, that wasn't Daddy's wish. Like I said before, I'm fine as long as Daddy is fine. The proof is that I can really serve Daddy again so that Daddy really believes that I'm okay”
“You don't lie. Impossible …"
"I'm not lying, Dad." Chelsea wrapped her arms around Carlos' neck to guide him to sit. "Let's prove it and I beg you to try to do it gently for me so I won't be traumatized when Daddy touches it."
“Chelsea…”
"It doesn't matter. I want to erase the dark shadows of last night. Let's just do it for a moment. Soon, only a few minutes to erase all memory of last night's events. I ask!" he asked.
This time he was really serious about asking this to Carlos. It's not that he couldn't hold back, but Chelsea was really a bit traumatized A
Due to what happened to him, he needed a few touches from Carlos so that his brain could reassure him that last night's incident was not intentional at all.
Chelsea also wants to see how far Carlos' affection for her. Was the man addicted to hurting her or did he treat her gently and carefully as usual.
A smile engraved on Chelsea's lips when Carlos crushed her lips very gently. It was the same as usual and here Chelsea was sure that last night's incident had not made an impression on Carlos's brain at all. The proof is that the man is still the same as before when they first had intercourse.
43If last night Carlos entered without mercy, now to just pressure, he is so slow. Immersing myself in Chelsea, of course, the feeling of fullness and tightness feels so good. Especially when Carlos moves slowly with a regular tempo.Chelsea's eyes closed. There are no more strong kisses or bites on the tip of his chest. Carlos took a sip and caressed the chafed tip with his wet tongue. Chelsea's body shook, because the desire that began to overwhelm her. Especially when Carlos started to speed up the movement, squeezing the two spheres in turn, his wet lips moved. Swept down Chelsea's long neck, and stopped on her plump lips.“Daddy…” Chelsea called. Longing for Carlos's touch which he admits is so intoxicating. This is what he's been waiting for. A very tender love, but so passionate. Even though his legs ached when Carlos brought one leg to his shoulder. In order for the man to freely enjoy his body, until they both get release.In this section, Carlos always leaves a hope, so tha
44Emotions were triggered, causing dark thoughts to cross her mind. What was once a threat now had Margareth considering executing that plan. Selling Chelsea for a substantial amount would undoubtedly make her richer than selling her own body. This way, Margareth could live luxuriously without having to work hard; she could enjoy Kevin whenever she pleased.And for payment, she could have Chelsea fetch it. Of course, Chelsea, who was beginning to learn the pleasures of being wealthy, would do whatever she wanted."I refuse to leave my daughter with an arrogant, clueless widower like you. I'd better take her." Margareth turned and continued towards Chelsea's room to take her daughter away.But to Margareth's surprise, she couldn't find Chelsea there. Not only Chelsea, but there were no signs of her presence at all. Her daughter's bed was perfectly neat, with no wrinkles whatsoever. This meant that Chelsea had never stayed there."Where is my daughter?""I don't know where she is.""Ah
45"But, Celine, I have plans to meet my friends at the university.""I'll explain to them that you couldn't make it. Don't worry; they're just idle students. I, on the other hand, am a lecturer who has to fulfill my duties by helping students complete their theses. I'm leaving Sister Amber in your care."Unable to stop her, Celine continued on her way to leave. Vano sighed deeply, frustrated that Celine left him alone with Amber instead of taking him along. He was sure that Amber would be fine since she was an educated woman and a lecturer at the same university as him and Celine."Why did that damned Celine leave you here? She knows I need some alone time, yet she just went away like that," Amber grumbled. "She knows that I don't like to be disturbed when I have problems, but you all show up and disrupt my peace." She stared at Vano with a sardonic look that could cut him into the tiniest pieces.Vano could only rub his neck. He wanted to refute Amber's words, but her gaze was so sh
46 apologize for the previous confusion. Here's the improved translation with the dialogue separated from the narrative:There was no activity outside the house because Kevin didn't want to meet her, and when Margareth didn't have money to transfer because Carlos had already stated yesterday that the money he sent her was the last, and she would receive her allowance again after a week.Certainly, Margareth was feeling really bored, especially after her lengthy argument with Carlos. Now she was contemplating whether to leave the luxurious house or not. Margareth was also rethinking how her life would be once she left the house. She was weighing how to stay there with peace of mind, not in worry like her current state, because her argument with Carlos had truly reached its boiling point in anger.Carlos had kicked her out, and she had loudly declared that she would accept any decision he made if he wanted to end their relationship. However, upon reflection and considering the negative
47There was his household assistant, Carlos automatically held Chelsea still in place so that she remained hidden inside his body. He also lowered Chelsea's Hoodie, so that his wife's circle would not be seen by others."It's alright, Aunt. Please, have a seat. There's something I need to explain," Carlos said as he hugged Chelsea to keep her still. "Aunt, please don't think ill of me and Chelsea. Here, I'll explain that we're already married, and I kindly ask you not to let Vano know about this because Chelsea is the tool I use to keep him away from Celine. But unfortunately, I fell in love with Chelsea, so I couldn't resist marrying her to prevent any harm from befalling both of us.As you know, I'm a normal man and a widower. It's been a long time since I received affection from a woman, so it's impossible for me to resist doing it because we live under the same roof and often interact with each other."The middle-aged woman nodded. "Has Mr. Vano found out about this, Sir?"Carlos
48 To ensure that Vano arrived safely, Celine had to follow behind in her car. After seeing the taxi enter the mansion's driveway, Celine left Carlos's residence.When Vano arrived at the luxurious property, there would undoubtedly be security personnel to assist the taxi driver in getting Vano inside the house.And indeed, the two security guards guarding the gate were touched to see their young master return home in such a drunken state, almost unconscious. They were forced to help him into the house. Carlos and Chelsea were both shocked to see Vano's condition.So, they both asked the security guards to take Vano directly to his room."Vano, what happened?" Chelsea asked, looking panicked at Vano's condition."Even I don't know, dear. Didn't we spend the day together at home, while Vano went to campus? We both just saw his condition now. I'm sure something must have gone wrong with Vano for him to get this drunk. I've never seen him lose control like this in my entire life," Carlo
49Now Vano hoped this was a mistake and a first-time error, so nothing would disturb their relationship.Chelsea took a deep breath. Trying to make peace with the situation, once again, she tried to make things okay.Carlos slowly pressed the doorknob and entered Chelsea's room. He made sure to lock the door so that Margareth couldn't barge in and make the situation worse."Daddy..." Chelsea called out with tears streaming down her face. She really needed Carlos right now to ease the pain and disappointment that had mixed together.Chelsea was also afraid that Carlos might be influenced by Margareth's words earlier, especially since he might have seen what Vano wanted to do with her."I swear, Daddy, Vano and I didn't..." Carlos covered Chelsea's lips with his index finger and sat beside her."You don't need to explain anything. Daddy knows who you are and what you're like. It's impossible for you to betray us, especially with your own stepchild." "Thank you, Dad." Chelsea hugged Ca
50"You have no right to judge this baby, Margareth. The one who is at fault is his mother. His mother is the sinner, but this child knows nothing. Even if he were asked and allowed to answer whether he wanted to be born from this woman, he certainly wouldn't want it because no child in the world wants to be born to a mother who has no heart and morals like her. Therefore, rather than wasting his life and being killed by his biological mother's hands, it's better for us to raise him. Hoping that when we grow old, he will be the one to take care of and protect us, just as we are protecting him today."In truth, Margareth did not want to accept, but the last words of Tomas about their old age, of course, made her just accept it when her husband took the baby from the woman. Tomas hurriedly brought the baby back to the car because it was already late at night and the temperature outside was very cold.Margareth could only resign herself as her husband took the baby. The woman just walked
66Celine had always been a source of disturbance and torment for Vano, constantly questioning his whereabouts. Yet, Vano had consistently informed Celine of his daily activities, whether he was going to campus or returning from it.Celine nodded, fully understanding the meaning and purpose of Carlos' words. She also felt relieved that Carlos had truly accepted her presence in the house. However, the challenge she had to face now was Vano himself. He still had her phone number blocked, claiming that he didn't want to discuss their relationship and needed some time alone.Celine would have to wait for the right moment when Vano was willing to talk to her and provide certainty about the future of their relationship. Even though Vano had openly stated that their relationship was over, Celine still saw it as fine."Chelsea, what are you doing here? It's late; it's time to rest," Margareth interjected as she emerged from her room. She promptly sent Chelsea back to her room since it was alr
65Therefore, when Carlos and Chelsea came out, their hair was both wet and Chelsea was in Carlos' arms. Margareth tried to keep a smile on her lips."Thank you Carlos, you look after Chelsea like your own daughter, it's not even awkward to take a shower with Chelsea." Margareth quipped, approaching Carlos who had just put Chelsea on the bed."Mum thought wrongly, Daddy showered earlier than me. Just now Daddy just…”"No need to argue anymore. Mother has been here for almost half an hour and I very clearly heard that you and your father were taking a shower together. "Are you guys that close that you're not at all embarrassed about having your body touched by a man?" Margareth urged Chelsea to admit that there was a special relationship between them.Chelsea shook her head. "It's not like you thought, Daddy just bathed me. I was wearing clothes earlier.""Ah, I see..." Margareth went to the bathroom. He brought Chelsea and Carlos' dirty clothes. "Look, both of your clothes are dry. So
64Carlos jolted awake when he realized Chelsea wasn't beside him. He had fallen into a deep sleep after staying up all night watching over her. He quickly searched for his wife and the first place he checked was the bathroom.Sure enough, Chelsea was there, vomiting."Why didn't you wake Daddy up before going to the bathroom? Look, your IV is bleeding like this," Carlos protested, not pleased that Chelsea had done everything herself. After all, his role as a husband was to be there to care for and protect her."Daddy was sleeping so soundly that I nearly fell, but you weren't disturbed at all. I didn't want to bother you, so I went alone," Chelsea explained, wiping her mouth."How are you feeling now? Do you still feel like vomiting?" Carlos asked, quickly hugging Chelsea, afraid she might fall.Chelsea shook her head. "I'm done, Dad. There's nothing left to throw up, and my stomach would hurt if I forced it.""Let's go back to bed." Carlos carried Chelsea back to their bed, slowly l
63Remaining bowed before Vano, she implored his mercy, hoping he would reconsider his decision."Go home, Celine. I need time to think about all of this. If my heart is willing to change its decision, I'll come to meet both of your parents to propose. If not, then I'll leave, and you should find a man who can accept all your shortcomings. Honestly, I can't marry a woman who is selfish and doesn't appreciate all the sacrifices my mother made." Vano rose from his seat, without waiting for Celine, he left the house.It was up to her whether she wanted to wait for his return or not; he didn't care anymore because Chelsea needed her belongings, and he didn't want to delay his visit to the hospital any longer.Of course, Celine couldn't accept Vano's unilateral decision, as she still deeply loved him. So she sat there in the living room, waiting for Vano or Carlos to return home. Even as the sky grew dark, Celine remained steadfast in her spot. Their housekeeper had informed her that it se
62In the meantime, Chelsea would stay at the hospital, as per Carlos's decision. Although Chelsea wanted to go home, she understood that her relationship with Carlos, which was still not publicly known, and especially her mother's lack of awareness about their relationship, made her worry that her presence at the hospital might cause new problems.Chelsea wanted to reveal all the secrets to her mother, but not like this. She wanted to tell her in a different way, not be discovered by being in the hospital like this."As for your mother, you don't need to worry. Let Daddy be the one to tell her that you are currently hospitalized.""So Daddy wants to tell Mom right away that I'm pregnant? That's why I need to rest here first?"Chelsea made sure that she didn't want Margareth to find out without her being present. Chelsea just wanted to see Margareth's reaction when she found out that the man she loved had now planted a seed in her own adopted daughter's womb."No, for now, Daddy will
61"Chelsea's mother is currently 3 weeks pregnant, and her condition is weak. Fortunately, she was brought to the hospital quickly; otherwise, something bad might have happened to the fetus. From now on, I recommend paying attention to her food intake, ensuring a balanced diet and fiber. I also suggest keeping her mental state stable, avoiding stress, especially with so many problems to think about, so that the fetus can stay strong."Carlos and Vano were still silent; they didn't know what to say because pregnancy was not an answer that had crossed their minds when they saw Chelsea ill.Carlos also admitted that Chelsea had been quite sensitive lately and would cry often even over minor issues. The worst was when Chelsea found out that Tomas and Margareth were not her biological parents. That had made Chelsea's condition worse.However, Carlos could swear by anything that he never expected his wife to be pregnant."May we see my wife inside, Doctor?" Vano broke the silence among the
60"Please, Celine. Just this once, understand that Chelsea is not in good condition.""You should also understand that I'm curious about the news you want to share. There's nothing wrong with that, right? Just convey it, we can discuss it later.""I can't convey it right now because Chelsea's condition is more important than that news.""So, she's more important than me?""Absolutely. What's wrong with it? Is there something wrong with a child prioritizing his mother?""But she's not your biological mother.""Even though she's not my biological mother, she can replace my biological mother's position in my father's heart, making our lives much better. As you know, since my mother passed away, my father also fell apart, just like when her body was buried in the ground. So you better have some self-awareness that Chelsea's position is indeed more important than yours, and there's a possibility I might cancel sharing all the good news because of your actions.""Van, that's enough." Chels
59"I hope Mom is willing to accompany me to meet Celine to deliver the good news that Dad mentioned earlier," Chelsea stopped in her tracks, looking at Vano, who was now walking alongside her."Why do I have to come along, Van? Honestly, I'm not keen on meeting Celine. She might get the wrong idea, and I don't want to add any more burdens to my already heavy life. Just let it be the two of you; I'd rather focus on my happiness and your dad's, nothing more, so my life can be peaceful.""Yeah, I get it, Mom. But it wouldn't hurt to have you with me to convey all of this because, after all, my relationship with Celine got her blessing because of you." Chelsea held Vano's hand. "Trust me, she won't act out because your current status is my mother. So, there's no reason for her to be jealous of you.""That's what you say, but it's not impossible for her to think I'm just taking advantage of both of you. As you know, if..."Vano covered Chelsea's mouth with his index finger. "Remember, I'l
58Carlos raised his face to look at Chelsea, he had only been focused on the solid circle. For a moment he was silent, seeing that his wife's cheeks did look a little chubby. Her two circles also seem to be getting denser, as are Chelsea's hips which are now getting bigger too. This change makes it even more clear that Chelsea is not the girl she used to be."Apart from being a little enlarged, I think it also feels painful." Chelsea gave a little squeeze to the circle she had just taken out. Slightly massaging and grimacing. “Especially when Daddy squeezed it. It's actually quite painful, Dad. But I'm afraid to tell Para.”"Why weren't you told?""I don't want to reduce the pleasure of making love with you," Chelsea answered honestly."How can it be called romance if one of us is in pain.""It's okay, Dad. Besides, I like it too. As Daddy knows, I really like this. Just try it if you don't believe it." Bringing the tip of the ball closer to Carlos' lips. "Try sucking it, I'm sure yo
