Gun 09

Third Person’s Point of View

“Louis, are you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost,” said the young lady, who was staring at Louis' pale face. She didn’t understand why the young man was reacting that way to the picture of her with her mother, who was holding her in her arms.

“Who is that woman to you?” Louis asked. His mind was spinning because of what was happening, but suddenly, his head began to ache. The memory of his former nanny came rushing back.

*** Flashback

“Lou-lou, you shouldn’t be out at this hour. Your father will surely scold you,” lectured his favorite nanny, Serena. She was kind and always prioritized his feelings. In fact, she was the first person to see him cry, especially when his father scolded him.

“But I want to go to Uncle Liam’s mansion. He will probably get mad at Sirius because of what we did. I want to defend him,” young Louis said, raising his hand as if on a mission. Compared to other children, Louis was more mature, even though he was only seven years old.

Serena immediately knelt to meet the young Louis' gaze. “You know, you’re such a kind child. I hope when you grow up, you’ll be just as kind to my Elaine,” Serena said, pinching young Louis' cheek because of how cute he was.

“Nana, stop it. I’m not a child anymore. Besides, I have a little muscle. Look!” Louis boasted, showing his arm where he pressed a bread roll to make it bulge.

Serena immediately laughed at what he did and took the bread roll off his arm. “Nana, give it back, and besides, I promise someday I’ll treat your Elaine like a queen!” young Louis said, which made Serena smile. It was enough for her to peacefully leave her child. In truth, she had been hiding in the Montemayor mansion for years. Now, she was ready to put an end to all her family's wrongdoings.

“Thank you, Lou-lou. You really are such a kind child. This is just between us, okay? We’re going to save Sirius,” Serena whispered since they were in the kitchen while Louis was eating lunch. Every day, they followed a schedule for what Louis was supposed to do throughout the day.

Since his parents were always busy with work, he struggled to get attention from them, which made him grow distant from them. But because of his nanny, Serena, it seemed his life was easier since she supported his desires.

“Louis, what’s happening to you?” Elaine asked when the young man collapsed onto the bed. His head hurt as if it were being crushed, and it felt like everything that had happened was trying to escape his mind. It had been twenty years since he lost his favorite nanny, but Louis still blamed himself.

“Is she your mom?” the young man asked as he recovered from what he had seen. He was holding his head as if processing everything that was happening.

“Yes,” Elaine replied straight to the point. Now, Louis didn’t know what to feel after discovering that his favorite nanny was the girl’s mother. Not only that, but he couldn’t fully understand why his parents wanted to marry Elaine, the Elaine of their former maid.

Something was off about what was happening, and that was the one thing he was sure of. What Louis needed to do was keep an eye on his father, Izaak. He was sure his father wouldn’t say a word if he asked about the young lady.

“Hey, what’s up? Are you two done packing? You’ve been at it for half an hour,” Kaizer complained, scratching his head as he opened the door to Elaine’s room. He almost killed Sir Pedro because of what he did to him. He nearly chased him with a machete he found in Elaine's kitchen, but the older man ran off after he kissed him on the cheek.

“Oh, it’s you, Kaizer. What’s that red mark on your cheek?” Elaine asked, trying to hold back her laughter because of the young man’s reaction, which made it seem like ten lions had mauled him.

“Don’t ask, baby. You might get jealous if you find out,” Kaizer said with a sigh. He should have just gone all the way with that older man. He never let any of his flings kiss him on the cheek or lips, but Sir Pedro was so bold, kissing him on the cheek. It's a good thing the older man escaped. Otherwise, he might have ended up in hell.

“Get out, dickhead. We’re still not done with what we’re doing,” Louis interrupted, glaring seriously at Kaizer. It was like they were in a staring contest. Neither wanted to back down because they grew up competitive, especially when they were used to competing with each other. For example, when they joined a swimming team and competed against other universities, They were both excellent in this field, but only one could be the captain.

To avoid making their parents enemies with the coach, Kaizer, and Louis’ parents had chosen Eron Coleman, another one of their swimming team competitors.

“Enough already. We’re going out soon, Kaizer. We’re just finishing up packing my clothes,” Elaine said. Louis smiled softly, pulled the young lady back to the bed, and closed the door.

Kaizer knocked and knocked, but Louis locked it. “Get out of here. What do you think, just because you’re marrying Elaine, you can do whatever you want?” the young man shouted. They heard the girl's father leave and ask what was happening.

“What’s going on, Louis?” the young lady asked, feeling embarrassed by their position. Louis was on top of her, and she could feel his gaze traveling down her chest, which made her push him away.

“Ah, what’s wrong with you?” Elaine complained, turning her back to Louis. She could feel her heart racing, so she turned away from the young man to hide her flushed face.

“Wife,” the young man whispered. He slowly moved closer to the lady and hugged her from behind. The heat she felt intensified when she could feel him hardening in his pants.

“You’re making me hard,” he continued. His breath brushed against the back of Elaine’s neck, further intensifying the rapid beat of her heart.

She was startled when Louis’ hand moved towards her intimate area. He slowly began to play with her clit, which made her moan.

“Ah, Louis. Hmm.”

“Yes, wife?” the young man said.

“Stop it,” she complained. In truth, she didn’t know how to stand upright anymore, as the young man was too focused on pleasuring her.

Elaine was surprised when he suddenly lifted her and carried her to the bed. He slowly began to undress, revealing his abs.

He came closer to her, unbuttoning her blouse, and started removing her pants.

He immediately kissed her fiercely, much more intense than before. One of his hands traveled down to her chest. She moaned when he pinched her nipple. “L-Louis,” she said, stammering between their kisses.

“Shit, you’re driving me crazy,” he said. His lips traveled down her neck, leaving marks, then moved to her breast, which he sucked like a thirsty baby.

“Ohh,” the young lady moaned, covering her lips with both her hands to prevent her moans from being heard outside.

He sucked her nipple while his right hand slowly moved toward her panties. He started rubbing her clitoris, giving her an overwhelming sensation.

“Elaine, have you packed your things?” her father asked, interrupting them. It seemed he had a key to her room. If she didn’t speak, he would know what they were doing.

“Yes, we’re going out soon,” Elaine shouted. Yet, the young man didn’t stop what he was doing.

“Hurry up. I’m sure Louis’ parents are already waiting,” her father said. Elaine couldn’t speak because Louis was slowly inserting a finger into her. She could feel how wet she was due to his actions. She immediately covered her lips to avoid making any noise.

“Elaine?” her father asked, still outside the door.

“A—yes, father. We’re leaving soon. I’m just showing Louis our album,” she explained. Her father seemed convinced and didn’t speak again.

Louis immediately stopped. “Maybe we should continue this later, wife,” he said. Elaine nodded, finally catching her breath after what Louis had done.

She almost lost all her strength from what the young man did. She also clearly saw how he worshiped her chest as if he never wanted to let go.

Louis quickly stood up and put on the clothes that had fallen on the floor. He stopped in front of her cabinet and immediately opened it.

She was surprised when he handed her a dress that he had taken from her cabinet. In truth, she rarely wore such clothes because she didn’t feel comfortable in them. She preferred wearing pants and T-shirts, though sometimes she wore skirts because it was part of their school uniform.

“What’s this?” she asked. Louis looked at her as if he didn’t want to answer her question. She wanted to know why he wanted her to wear this dress. Was there a party they were attending?

He sat on the bed and leaned close to her to whisper his answer, “Easy access,” Louis said. He stood up, leaving Elaine still confused about what he meant by “easy access.”

Regardless, she decided just to follow the young man and put on the red dress he gave her.

When she came out, Kaizer immediately approached her to compliment her on her dress. “You’re so pretty, Elaine. I haven’t seen you wear a dress like that before. Looks like you’re preparing for the private resort we’re going to,” he said.

“Thank you. By the way, where’s father?” she asked, scanning the house, but she couldn’t find her father.

“He’s outside, talking to Louis. What do you think they’re talking about?” the young man asked curiously as he took out the suitcases from her room. Even he had no idea what her father and Louis were talking about.

Could it be that her father heard the noises they made earlier in her room? If that’s the case, he should have talked to her about what happened. She knew her father, and he would surely be angry because he didn’t like her dignity being trampled, especially regarding her womanhood. He always reminded her that she had to face the altar as a virgin because other men had bad intentions, just like how they would leave a woman once they got what they wanted, which her father didn’t want for her. But she felt something different with the young man. It wasn’t just simple admiration like she had for Kaizer before; it seemed there was something deeper.

Whatever her father and Louis were discussing, she hoped it wasn’t about what happened earlier because she would definitely get in trouble. But could it be about her mother? Why did the young man react that way? Did he know something about her mother’s death? She just hoped not because if he did, she wouldn’t be able to forgive him.
