Chapter 7 • Meet Reina

Chalondra's second encounter with her sugar daddy changed her life one hundred and eighty degrees. She seemed to get a hundredfold energy intake that made her re-energized. Whereas the last month she was exactly the undead who seemed to die unwillingly.

That night they slept together for the second time. The girl deliberately gave permission to her mother to stay at Heidy's house. Her mother was not worried at all because Heidy was also quite close to their family.

Chalondra was dropped off by Dominic at Heidy's house at five in the morning, just like last month. They had a very long night. Deep talk to get to know each other. Occasional long kisses and teasing each other with intimate touches. Still within reasonable limits, of course.

"So it's fixed, Wednesday night, and Saturday night. I'll let you know the places." Dominic recalled their agreement before Chalondra got out of the expensive car.

"You've repeated it ten times, Dad."

"Is it Sunday? Can't you be with me all day?"

"Daddd, I already have an appointment with mom. I still want to be with Daddy too. But it will be dangerous if I don't come home."

Dominic pulled Chalondra's hand that was draped over the girl's thigh. Grasped those slender fingers and brought them to his lips. Even though he had done it all night, it was still not enough.

"I will miss you. I'm not sure I can wait until Wednesday."

Chalondra giggled softly. Then she did the same on the back of Dominic's burly hand. Planting soft, warm kisses there.

"You have to be strong, Dad ... I'll meet you on Wednesday."

"Alright. Take care of your health. Never be late in replying to my messages. I'm an impatient person."

Chalondra nodded.

"Alright, come down."

But Chalondra spread her arms for a hug. Dominic held her tightly. He kissed the top of her head for a long time. Then moved on to her luscious lips again.

"I can't get enough of your lips, Chalondra ...."

"Me too, Dad. Daddy should take responsibility for introducing me to this things."

Dominic smiled. "Yes, as a responsibility, I will keep giving that until you are satisfied."

"Ah, Dad enough! I'm coming down now!" Cha rejected Dominic's flirting that looks like will never end.

"Cha, I still haven't let go of you."

"Daaaaaaddd, we was like this before we left the club."

They had discussed this earlier. Dominic found it very difficult to remove Chalondra's body from his arms.

"Yeah, what else I can do. I'm already addicted to you." Dominic's face fell. He really couldn't control himself. After years of not feeling the vibrations of love with the opposite sex, Dominic seemed to be back to being a teenage boy again now. Flowery, explosive. Not wanting to be separated. Ahh, just like a teenager. Even though he was already thirty-eight years old.

Chalondra herself did not easily want to separate. This was a new thing for her and she was still not used to self-control. Wanting to always be Dominic's side is her desire. But she again remembered that their relationship was a secret. Many parties must be protected, especially their families. Like it or not, they have to adjust for every situation.

Chalondra kisses Dom's cheek for a long time. Then without further delay, she gets off. Preventing Dom from holding her back again.

"Bye Daddy, be careful." He waved from outside while smiling at Dominic who was still pouting.

Heidy greeted Chalondra at the doorway with her arms folded across her chest. This was the second time Chalondra had lied about staying at his house. Last month, Chalondra was not willing to be honest about who she spent the night with. But this morning, her best friend was not going to let Chalondra evade anymore.

"He's my sugar daddy, Dy ..."

Haidy's eyes widened. Chalondra was finally honest about the man who escorted her just now. But isn't she wrong? Sugar Daddyy?

"Seriously?! Sugar daddy?!"

"Shhhh. Keep your voice down!" It's still early in the morning, six o'clock. Heidy's house is still quiet.

"Crazy! You're a mistress of someone? How come? What the hell is going on in your brain?"

Chalondra could already guess the reaction she would get from Heidy. Anyone would be shocked and appalled to hear of her illicit relationship with Dominic. Heidy was already like this, how would his parents be? She could be chopped up.

"No, Dy. I'm still sane. But I'm comfortable with him." Chalondra then told Heidy everything in detail. The beginning of her meeting with Dominic until they met again last night.

"But you know this is wrong, right? He's married, Cha!!!" Heidy was obviously worried to hear that Dominic was someone's husband. Chalondra could potentially be the third person.

"Yes, I know. That's why we're also hiding this."

Heidy seemed unable to control his emotions. She wanted to be angry, but she had known Chalondra since she was in diapers. Her friend had never been in love. Heidy knew that many men idolized her, but none of them could make Cha melt. Why did it have to be that adult guy? Heidy was quite frustrated.

They had three seconds of silence to calm each other down.

"So you guys are officially having an affair?" Heidy spoke up again. Chalondra nodded in response.

"Hhmmhhh ..." Heidy took a rough breath. "I won't be able to stop you either. Right, Cha? And we're also the same age. I'm not much older than you to be wiser. But I just want to say, be careful. Please know your limits. Because you definitely understand the consequences if your parents know this."

Chalondra did not nod. She just hugged Heidy as a sign that she was very grateful for the understanding and advice given by her best friend.

"Thanks, Dy ...," she said.

"Hmmm ... I know you've never been in love. That's why I'm wondering, once you fall in love, why itu must with a married man. I hope you two are careful and always think carefully if you want to do anything."

This time Chalondra nodded in Heidy's arms. She hoped so too. Don't know ... after receiving advice from Heidy, the eyes of Chalondra's heart seemed to have just opened. Now she was trapped in an unnatural relationship with Dominic. The mature man with a million charms managed to get her to sign a deal between sugar daddy and sugar baby.

"Twenty million?" Chalondra recalled the contents of her and Dominic's agreement last night. Dominic said he would pay her every time they met. Twenty million was a figure that Dom felt was enough for Chalondra's daily allowance. Remember he was the son of a conglomerate?

"Why? Didn't enough?"

"Dad ... there's no need for this. I don't want to be Daddy's close friend for money. Yesterday, Daddy promised to grant whatever I asked for and I have no plans to ask for money. But I won't tell you what I want now either. I'll tell you later when we meet."

Their conversation replayed in the mind of Chalondra who had closed her eyes. Before her father's private driver picked her up at seven, she wanted to rest for a while. Being with Dominic made her sleep less. It would be a shame to pass the time by sleeping while there was someone she wanted to hug all day there. They stayed up late talking about many things, including their respective families.

When Chalondra fell asleep, Heidy looked at her with a look that was hard to interpret. He was devastated himself. She had not yet exhausted her shock at the new facts that her best friend had told her. It was unimaginable. Innocent, innocent Chalondra meets a very experienced adult men in bed.

Yes, Chalondra had also told her about Dominic's past of changing girlfriends and sleeping with women. Heidy still couldn't stop himself from being furious. Chalondra innocently did not take that into consideration. What if he had a disease and so on?

Heidy would not be prepared to imagine what would happen if uncle Chris and aunt Amber found out. Chalondra might be locked up in her room forever. Because when Chalondra refused to have a bodyguard when she went anywhere, Chris and Amber made an agreement. Chalondra is not allowed to have a date first. If she caughted, all the little girl's freedom will be forcibly taken away by her parents.

What's more worrying is that Dominic still has a legal wife. What would happen if Dom's wife found out about Chalondra? How can any wife let her husband have a mistress, and it's a young girl. It's okay that his wife is cheating on him too. But if she finds out, she will definitely not keep quiet.

"Chalondra ... why did you have to choose this path?" Heidy muttered to himself. While Chalondra was in the throes of romance, she was restless and scared. Who knows when the storm will come.

One thing is for sure, Chalondra will not go through this easily.

"Cha, let's take a shower, honey. We'll be late for our social gathering."

Chalondra, who was still sleepy from lack of sleep, could only wake up reluctantly. After arriving home earlier, he immediately delayed again because he was still not satisfied with sleep.

"What did you and Heidy do last night that you're still sleepy at this hour?"

Deg!

Chalondra immediately fled to the bathroom to avoid her mother's questions. What did she want to answer? The problem was that she didn't sleep with Heidy.

After Amber walked out of Chalondra's room, she approached her husband who was watching a replay of the soccer match in the living room. Her husband, Chris Ellordi.

"Chris, are you sure don't want to come with us?"

"Sure, Hon. What do men join social gatherings for?" Chris replied with a smile. Even when their hair was almost white, the affectionate nicknames of the two middle-aged men did not change. 'Hon', which stands for 'Honey', is still their favorite nickname.

"There are usually husbands too. Should I only be accompanied by Chalondra?"

"Those husbands really sure have nothing to do. Why would they join a women's social gathering?" Chris continued to argue.

"I was always told to bring Brandon and Cha's father. Because I'm the only one who's never seen with my husband." Amber, who is over half a century old, is still beautiful when she pouts her lips. In the eyes of Chris Ellordi, she still looks as beautiful as when she was younger.

Chris still shook his head and squeezed Amber's shoulder as he apologized for not being able to grant her request. Amber just nodded and leaned on her husband's shoulder.

Chalondra's steps sounded from the stairs. The girl who had prepared herself unwillingly was already finished. She showered, groomed, and picked out her clothes in just fifteen minutes. A sleeveless, thigh-length dress was Chalondra's choice this morning. Plus sneakers and a sling bag. She really looked like a college student.

"Come on, Mom." She called Amber softly.

"Come on. You clean up quickly too."

"So you won't be late, right?"

Amber smiled. They said goodbye to Chris before leaving with the Ellordi family's private driver.

***

The social gathering that Amber was going to attend today was a social gathering of her old college friends. Not too many, only about twenty members. That's also usually not all can attend. It's normal, those who have children and grandchildren must have obstacles.

Today's gathering held at the house of members who is the daughter of a professor at Amber's former faculty. The house, if you look around, is quite modest. Not too big, nor too small. Chalondra thought all of her mother's colleagues were well-off, but they were not.

Amber and Chalondra got out of the car. They approached the women who were already sitting in a circle on the carpet inside the house. The atmosphere became rowdy because Amber did not come with Chris again, just Chalondra. But not a few were happy to see the presence of the beautiful young girl. Those who came with their son, felt that they would have the opportunity to match them with Chalondra.

Chalondra sat sweetly next to her mother. Playing with her cell phone and not paying attention to her mother who was chatting with other member. But the girl understood what they were discussing. The company's stocks were on the rise.

"Where's your daughter, Tri? Didn't her husband tell her to come here?" Someone suddenly interjected. Tri who asked in question was the host of this gathering.

"Of course, Reina said she's coming with Dominic soon."

DEG!

Chalondra's head snapped up. Reina? Dominic? Is that the same Reina and Dominic?

Oh Lord!

Chalondra's blood ran cold. She was both excited and scared. She was happy to see Dominic again, but not in front of her mother. She worried she wouldn't be able to control herself, her expression and everything. And ... she wasn't sure she could deal with Dominic's wife either.

Chalondra think for a way to get out of the house before the two people mentioned above arrived. At least she would wait in the car. Yes, better like that, right?

"Mom ...," Chalondra just wanted to poke Amber, but-

"Ah, it's them!" But Tri already shouted out the presence of his daughter and son-in-law.

Chalondra took a quick glance at the door, and sure enough, that Dominic was her 'Daddy'. The man was busy with a paper bag filled with souvenirs, while his wife went straight into the house. Fvck off!

Chalondra's heart was pounding. Reina was seen starting to greet the invited guests. Actually, that woman wasn't too bad. She was pretty. Why didn't Dominic like her? Chalondra judged inwardly.

The girl's reverie was instantly broken as a slender hand stretched out before her. Reina is coming. The woman was smiling at her and waiting for her hand to be welcomed.

"Hello beautiful sissy, what's your name?"

"Uhm ... Chalondra, Miss."

With the tail of his eye, Cha realized Dominic turned his head. Yes, that man was also greeting the guests and was still five people away from where Cha was sitting. Never mind. Chalondra resigned herself.

"We've never met before, have we? Are you Aunt Amber's daughter?"

"Yes Miss," Chalondra nodded with a sweet smile.

"You are beautiful, just like Aunt Amber." Reina give one honest compliment.

"Reina ... you're also beautiful. Otherwise, you wouldn't have gotten Dominic," Amber said innocently.

Boom!!!
