MerryGold CHAPTER FIFTY EIGHT
There was nothing more she adored than her three story home where she'd raised her children and made so many memories with her husband. It felt so good to be back, a sense of relief consumed her as she walked around. There were no changes what so ever, she was glad Austin had been decent enough to not change anything. If it were up to Austin he would have preferred to have more empty spaces and less furniture. Austin carried his mothers bags to the guest room. Seeing as he had occupied the largest room in the house the minute they left. She did not mind. She was simply happy to be back."Where's my German porcelain set...?" His mother asked looking around the hallway overlooking the butterfly double stairs. "It was a wedding gift from my papa..." She said in a thick German accent. Austin did not know if it was funny or upsetting. Regardless, his mother being German had always been funny. She had her own manner of doing things."I wouldn't know..." Austin replied pursing his lips."Odd

"How is Thomas, Merri?""...uh...we're no longer together." Merrigold confessed playing with the food on her plate. Trying her best not to vomit at the smell of garlic. Austin immediately dropped his fork. Then apologized when all eyes went on him except for Merri."But why? You were both so inlove as teens..""It's for the best...for uhm the both of us.""That is so sad. Mrs Brown what do you think?""I have nothing to say Ma'am." Mrs Brown mumbled."Is there anyone that has caught your eye maybe my handsome unmarried son here?" She teased. Merrigold immediately felt bile threaten to overtake her throat."Oh mother..." Austin chuckled. "You're making her nervous."Mrs Brown immediately coughed, feeling awkward by how tense it was.Austin was trying to catch Merrigold's eye but she kept looking at her plate never up. He moved his leg under the table, purposely touching her. She flinched, knowing exactly who was sitting opposite her."Sorry.." he muttered."It's fine." She mumbled with

"You're a stupid girl!" "Mama—" "An idiot!" "But—" "You should be going after the white man not that imbecile horse boy." The woman clicked her tongue turning to look away. "I love him." Faith whispered. "Because you're a fool! Get out of my sight. I do not want to hear about this your child either." "Mama it's your grandchild..." "Will it take me out of this gutter? It will be born and it will live in this gutter with the rest of us. Thought you young girls had learnt a little something from Elliot's wife...that got her freedom from giving birth to a..." Faith sighed. "Elliot is a fool, always has been." "Fools seem to know each other because you speak so knowingly of him." "I'm already pregnant. Thomas is happy about the child." "But is he happy with you?" The woman questioned. Faith was silent. "If he was, he would have came to see me. To apologize, to ask for your hand in marriage but no." "He will...soon enough." "Kifah....of all the things you've ever done, this h

"You're so lonely, Ruby." Merri told her niece. The three year old girl did not seem to be paying attention as she played with her grass doll. Merrigold was doing her niece's hair. She flinched here and there but anything to pass time. The sun was hardly ever out but on that day it was surprisingly..."It would be nice to have some mates to play with around your age wouldn't it?" Merrigold said thoughtfully.Oh God.I'm losing my mind.I can not keep them, I can not.She was thinking about it again.Ruby responded with some incoherent mumbling. Merrigold smiled. "If they do turn out to be boys, they'd be bullies like their father. I'm afraid for you, Ruby." Merri could only think of Austin's toxic attitude and how he handled himself. She would personally rather not have to deal with him for the rest of her life. If she did it sounded like a long life of pain and misery. She could never imagine herself loving anything that she had made with that...man. He made her feel nauseous. A whif

As weeks went by, Mrs Cunningham was acting a little strange. She treated Merrigold a little too gently. Merrigold felt suspicious and oddly uncomfortable with the way Austin's mother was suddenly treating her. She had always been a nice lady but now she was...very very nice. Faith watched from afar with envy, why did this white lady not like her as much as Merrigold? Faith thought about what her mother had said to her... no it was not her fault that she did not have the privileges that Merri had. It was all favor. Merrigold was favored and had always been and for that reason Faith hated her more than anything. Of all the children on the plantation, Mrs Cunningham had to bring Merri to reside in the house, teach her table mannerisms and all the math she needed to help out in the office. It annoyed her. Faith felt it was not her fault. If Mrs Cunningham has been a fair lady, then she would have treated Faith just like Merri. Faith remembered how she had changed her name the minute she

"...Faith..." Mrs Cunningham entered the kitchen."I do not mean to offend you but uh, thought I'd make Merri a good Kartoffelsuppe..."Faith stumbled a bit, putting the small packet of rat poison in the straps of her dress. She gave the old hag a smile, feeling utterly aggravated. "No need, ma'am you deserve to get some rest. I'm nearly done as it is and uh whatever that maybe sounds delicious.""It's German Potato soup, I appreciate your concern but cut me some potatoes, onions, tomatoes, green pepper—""But ma'am, I've already—""Don't worry your silly head, you're expecting as well. Drink some, take it home, share with your mother and siblings.""I do not like soup. I'm not sure if you knew but us black people do not like soup. Merrigold might like it but that is because she is white... in the inside.""That is an awfully spiteful thing to say Faith."Faith rolled her eyes when she was not looking. "It is rather the truth. Merrigold is very Caucasian more reason she gets along wit

Austin and Merrigold walked back home in silence. It was nearing sunset. She did not want to speak to him, she did not want to pretend they were suddenly friends. Merrigold felt disgusted with herself for putting her lips on his. She was in a vulnerable state, for goodness sake she thought this was her end and her last seconds of life. The kiss reminded her that, this was indeed how she got in the same position she was in. Carrying his offspring. The thought of it made her feel muddled and out of balance. She was really carrying his child? When he looked down at her, her heart puddled with anxiety... this was the father of her child? Oh God. What a brilliant pick! She wanted it off, she wanted it out of her body. Merri wished her almost drowning had caused an abortion. Did she really want to die? Or the thought of carrying Austin's child scared her to the point of being desperate for her life to end. Merrigold thought a lot, what would people say? She'd be so embarrassed and shameful

Besides Merri almost taking her life, a lot happened that day. On her way home, Faith was stopped by Thomas. It was nearing six, she was glad Mrs Cunningham had let her go early. She felt a tad bit annoyed by his presence but none the less she stopped to hear what he had to say. They had not seen each other much, it was mainly her fault. Faith did not understand what was going on with her. She had wanted Thomas for so long and now that she had him... she did not want him. She had forgotten that she was carrying his child. Remembering how desperate she had wanted to fall pregnant made her feel ashamed of herself. Perhaps her mother was right. Merri got the valuable diamond while she was fighting for a worthless stone. He greeted her with a smile, she was quick to cut to the chase."I wanted to know if you're alright and if there is anything you may need from me as the father of your child?" He told her, the sounds of crickets... present as they merely stared at each other in the dark n

Hiding behind Merrigold. Hiding behind 'I love Merri.' Continuously chasing Merri to redeem him from his guilt, sins and the feelings he was developing that made him very uncomfortable. His anger was once rooted on Merri, why had she left? This was all her fault. She had led him into falling victim of this horrid unjust demonic behavior. He did not know whom he was anymore. Merrigold had been the only person in his whole entire life who shielded him from judgement. No one would ever think differently of him with Merrigold by his side as his lover. No one would ever assume he took a liking to other men. It was an unpleasant feeling that he was thoroughly ashamed of. Thomas noted, he had not always felt this way; he had not always been this way. He had never been one to look at another man twice. Never! It made him wonder were his feelings for Merrigold ever real? They were, he thought. He loved Merri not as a friend or a sister but as a lover. He enjoyed all their intimates moments tog

"Mrs Brown?" Austin called her. She was quick to squeeze his cheeks and give him kisses on both cheeks. She'd always see him as a child even though he now towered over her."I've been meaning to have a word with you.""Out with it then?" She continued to wipe the kitchen countertops."I'm sorry you had to constantly deal with me. I've come to realize, I was such a huge burden on you and my parents. It's never easy setting upright a rebellious child." Austin muttered ashamed. He could not count the many times, his parents were not aware of his location. For months or even years at a time. The trail of debts he sent their way. Austin loved the west. He loved the ignorance within America.The transatlantic slave trade was abolished first with an act of Congress on March 2, 1807, followed with a British act of Parliament on March 25. This abolishment outlawed the international slave trade, but not slavery itself. In England, the abolishment of the transatlantic slave trade only pushed for

Bad conscience over responsibility.Regardless of who was right or wrong, she felt shameful for her actions. Black people were already named barbaric uncultured swines. Her anger had pushed forth a uncaring attitude for consequences or self dignity. For someone who knew how to always hold it in when being insulted and abashed; she had clearly derailed off the road. Her whole life Merri had been called names, made to feel inferior, lesser than anything and anyone else. She was well aware, having mastered the art of ignorance to the hurtful slurs. Ignorance to the hypocritical attitudes of those who claimed to be above her. This was not new to her, it honestly wasn't but when Stella did—Merri could not hold herself.She was angry. This was the woman who had caused so much harm and refused to acknowledge any of her devious actions. This was the woman who had turnt Austin into a horrid cynical unlikable bastard. Stella has triggered Austin into hurting Merri. For many reasons, she blamed

"Please stay away from me!" Thomas the young black man who had approached him."I've done nothing wrong." Hasani added still a little flummoxed by Thomas's cold shoulder."If you're not here to work away from me, you're literally the most disgusting person I've ever came across in my whole entire life. Merri was disgusting for being with the white man but you definitely took the trophy away from her." Thomas was quick to click his tongue and he sorted the hay.Hasani felt embarrassed but nonetheless shrugged his shoulders. "Your insults do not phase me.""Will a beating do the trick?""Why are you so violent and bitter?" Hasani questioned, a little addled by the situation.Thomas rolled his eyes at him. "Out of my sight. The sight of you revolts my whole body. I will never forgive you for what you did.""What I did?"Looking around Hasani noted it was just them and the horses. Walking towards Thomas he backed him against the wooden barn wall; one hand gripping his neck the other strok
MerryGold CHAPTER NINETY FIVE
Whenever everything was going well there always had to be a dilemma waiting. Austin and Merri had so much trials and tribulations in the time they had shared and known each other. For many reasons just when it felt as though everything was going their way, something had to occur and dismiss their union.Merri slept early that night. Not really asleep but staring at her side of the lamp. She hugged herself trying to keep warm. An awful feeling of betrayal and treachery inhibited within her chest. She blinked a couple of times, standing up to check on her kids. They were sound asleep. It must have been because they had not sleep in the afternoon. Merrigold adored looking at them, they were so precious. She had no idea she would be able to love any other person on this earth and forsaken world the way she did her kids. Sometimes she had to snap herself to reality. 'I'm a mother, I'm a wife? I'm a mother? I'm really a mother?' Her life has changed so drastically. Her babies were every rea

"Oh goodness..!" He teared up. "How do I hold them? They're so delicate, small, tiny and adorable... wow Merri, they're going to grow to be such handsome lads."Blushing Merri, gave Thomas a subtle smile. "The white wool is Lennox and the blue wool is Lionel. Lennox has a birthmark on his neck, it's really helpful with telling them apart."In awe, Thomas decided against holding them. Afraid they'd fall or something. Afraid Austin and Walter would be out to get his head. He did not want any problems for himself. Instead, he stood a bit far and only bent down their cradle to play with their small fingers."How's motherhood treating you?" He questioned turning back to look at her. She looked exhausted, nonetheless happy. The smile on her face overshadowed the bags under her eyes. She had certainly put on a bit of weight. Her breasts much fuller with milk patches seeping through her clothing. Her stomach, would take a while to return to being as flat as it used to be before Austin had mad

"Grandpa was very very upset, folks always try to put me in a bitter mood but I feel so much better with you little buggers." Walter said playing with their little fingers. "Isn't it?" He tickled their little bellies. "Isn't it?" His voice became restrained and small. They seemed so attentive and both quiet in their cradle. Clearly occupied, if he got any closer they would be quick to pull his nose, they loved that. Walter sat back on his wooden cushioned chair, facing the balcony enjoying a drink, he had always been one to hide his alcohol but at this moment he did not care if anyone saw him drinking. He wasn't perfect, clearly he was sick of acting as if he was."I have every reason to be upset with that daft uncle of yours." He added taking another swig. Adjusting his stroll-hat, the little ones buoyantly wiggled their arms and feet at each other. Lionel then hit Lennox while doing so, even then the little boy didn't cry. He only wiggled harder as if to return the hit. Walter laugh

I never add songs but sure thing by Miguel would be the theme song that played on this (scene) chapter if it was a movie. anyways enjoy and stay safe x⬆️⬆️⬆️—Pride will always be the longest distance between two people. Austin was willing but Henry was not having it. A sense of bitterness sat right on the top of his chest. He would never be able to get over any of this mediocrity. He thought, he could but he was failing dismally. He had not slept that night, blankly staring at the ceiling. As if punishment, he could hear Merri and Austin giggling... God, knows what they were doing. They acted like hormonal teenagers who finally got to be with the one they had been courting for the longest time. It annoyed him to no end, did the walls have to be any thinner? Did the echoes have to be any louder? Did Austin's room have to be right next to his? Why was it so difficult to see Austin happy... his own brother. It bothered him. Perhaps because for the longest of time, he had believed wit
MerryGold CHAPTER NINETY ONE
"Austin...""Henry..."With a few meters between them. The two brothers stared at each other with unsaid words of regret, guilt and shame. They had not talked, a good morrow, good evening, pass me the salt, have you seen mother? Is Merri here? did not count as proper conversing."So much has been happening..." Henry added, scratching the back of his head."See, Henry consider yourself very lucky. If I had not met Merri, if I had not fathered my kids, if I did not have any reason to want to be better. I would have kicked you in the nuts and aimed for your a good hit then told you to return to your ratchet wife.""Fair enough!" Henry let out a nervous laugh. Austin stared at him with distaste. He could not hide the bitter feelings he had grown for his brother over the years. This was the same man who had called the authorities on him over his innocent wife. Accused a much younger Austin of raping her. So many nauseating accusations made by his brother. One who ought to protect him and l
