CHAPTER 81: UNLOOKED-FOR INCIDENT

As if in a thriller movie where I was the sick mad villain looking intensely at her helpless prey, I headed slowly but purposely towards Alexander’s bed. With the looks of him, who had fallen fast asleep and was obviously in deep slumber, any noise would definitely not wake him up. A sly and evil grin appeared at the corners of my lips as my eyes viciously stared at him.


‘You have been good to me, Alexander Hunt, and I am thankful for it. But you see, your bitch daughter has an enormous sin to me. From the time of her arrival here, all she brought was mischievous and bad luck to me, which now caused me to totally lose Lewis, who was the only man I loved all my life. All of these could have been precluded and would never be occurring if only she knew how to respect others feelings and didn’t steal what’s duly mine. She left me without a choice, Alexander. She pushed me to my limits. If there would be someone who you should be blaming for what was about to happen, blame your slut of a daughter, and not me.’


Creeping slowly with much determination to get things done accordingly, I grab a pillow from one of his sides. After a deep breath, I forcefully covered his face with the pillow, which abruptly awakened him and his body began to struggle for his dear life. From my elevated position against his, he was obviously in no position to counterattack and balk at the pressure I was putting on him. His inevitable death that surely awaits him was undisguised and palpable.


The more his body struggles, the more pressure I ferociously hand on him. It took a while, minutes perhaps, before he could no longer resist and stopped struggling. I didn’t remove the pillow yet and waited for a few more minutes before finally taking it off from his face.


A satisfied and triumphant grin flashes on my face as I gazed at what I managed to accomplish. The old man’s eyes were protruded in horror and his mouth was opened widely as his lifeless body laid still. I didn’t bother to fix the mess that he made at his bed nor dared to change his looks, I simply placed two fingers at the lower part of his earlobe to check his pulse after placing back the pillow I used on him. Feeling that his heart wasn’t beating at all, my feet swiftly headed towards the door and grabbed my belongings before walking out of his room.


None of them would be suspicious that Alexander Hunt died because of asphyxiation. Everyone will think that a contraction occurred to him, which caused him to stop breathing normally thus ending his life. His illness was associated with his lungs and everyone in this household knew that his breathing sometimes fluctuated, which brought him to shortage of breath. So what I intentionally did to him would be undetectable.


Feeling victorious from squaring the score with Penelope, I walked composedly towards the gate where the stationed guard hastily inquired about my sudden appearance.


“What’s with all the luggages, Miss Nicole? Are you going for a vacation?”


“Ask your boss’ daughter, she will tell you why” I nonchalantly uttered before opening the gate and promptly marched outside.


I hailed a cab and abruptly climbed in, telling the driver where to head. Once the car started to roll, I let out a deep sigh of relief and closed my eyes in peace.


‘This was just the beginning of my revenge on you, Penelope Hunt. You haven’t seen the last of me. I will make a comeback at the time you least expected. I will lie low for a while, but be rest assured that the next time you see me, I will bring you down, you and that good for nothing boyfriend of yours.’


***


I watched my girl with exuberance, who was sleeping soundly on my arm and cuddled at me. I tired her so much that she fell asleep rapidly after having her third release. My eyes were sparkling with extreme happiness and my heart was overflowing with indescribable content as I reminisced about what occurred between us.


The experiences I had with her were beyond words and incomparable. I had never felt this contentment in me for such a longtime since Antonette’s. Sharing this magnificent and supreme intimacy with Penelope was definitely one of those few memories I would never forget all my life. I will forever cherish this day where I first claimed her body and soul.


I was smiling at myself as detailed thoughts of what we did flashes vividly inside my head while I gently caressed her hair. I couldn’t contain the utmost joy I was feeling up to this moment after reliving my first penetration inside her.


It wasn't a secret to me that she had a man before, but I didn’t foresee that she was deprived of such intimacy by her ex-husband for years. That scumbag didn’t only make her suffer emotionally, he made her barren for six long years. If I didn’t experience her tightness, as if she had never been touched before, never been married and had a daughter, I wouldn’t believe her words when she told me that she only has sex once all her life.


This thought of Michael depriving her of her sexual rights as his wife and as a woman, made me curse him inside my head. He was certainly such an asshole for leaving Penelope droughted from pleasure and sexual satisfaction, which as a husband was his duty and obligation to her.


Relief washes over me as I think of Penelope’s situation now. She would never experience that kind of drought anymore, now that I am here with her. I will see to it that she will be properly treated inside and out. I will make her bloom like a flower being rained by the heavens above. She will never go scarce of intimacy and affection for as long as I am beside her.


My other arm pulled her closer to me as she snuggled deeper at my neck before closing my eyes to finally rest my exhausted body. The minute my eyes reopens, sun rays are peeking through the window curtains. Penelope was still soundly sleeping beside me, covered with a blanket and softly snoring.


If only I didn’t have a patient to adhere to, I would have stayed with her until dusk later and made love to her countless times again. But since I have a responsibility on hand, I forced myself to gently move away from her so as not to wake her up. She needed all the rest she could get to replenish her lost strength from the night before love making. But before I could fully move away from her, I stole a chaste kiss on her tempting lips and immediately climbed down the bed.


After taking a quick bath and clothing myself, I headed back to my bed where Penelope was still unconscious and laying beautifully in slumber. I once again pecked her lips, “Laters, Baby. I love you so much.” I lovingly bid my farewell before heading outside. I vibrantly greeted one of the house helps when I bumped into her as I reached the second floor. “Good morning, Lily. Have you been in Sir Alexander’s room just now? Is he already awake?”


“I haven’t been in Sir Alexander’s bedroom yet, Sir Lewis. I would clean his room later once he headed down for breakfast” I simply nodded at her before commencing to walk towards my patient’s room.


Even with just a few hours sleep, my energy this morning was pleasantly at its peak. The smile on my face didn’t leave me as I opened my employer’s door.


“Good morning, Sir Alexander, how was…” My words were abruptly hanged in mid air the minute I beheld what’s ahead of me. Panic attack swiftly crept inside of me as my feet scrambled and ran towards him, immediately checking his pulse for any signs of heartbeat. “Fuck!” My slightly trembling hands immediately administered to his chest, doing CPR to him with hopes of reviving him. “Please, Sir Alexander, come back to me!” I continued my attempt to recover him, but at the farthest corner of my mind, I knew that it was too late. His body was as rigid as a rock and the color of his skin was already ashen, which shows that he ceased breathing a couple of hours ago. Painful tears started to form around my eyes for the man who I treated not just as a patient, but considered as a father as well. “NO! FUCKING NO, SIR!” I wailed at the top of my lungs as my hands gradually stopped from moving and frustratedly leaning on his stoned-cold and rock-solid chest.


All the energy I possessed earlier suddenly vanished as I slowly sat beside him. My teary eyes were staring unbelievably at him as my body trembled in utmost bewilderment and agony. My mind absentmindedly traveled to the woman who was still sleeping inside my room. Penelope was completely unaware of what her father had become. She didn’t have a clue the minute she wakes up, a horrendous and heart-breaking news will greet her. These thoughts intensely grieve and break my heart, because I certainly know that Penelope would have a hard time dealing with this untimely departure of her father. She would totally be devastated once she discovers her father’s unforeseen death.


‘Fuck! Why does it have to be now? After the rapturous feeling Penelope and I had the night before, comes this unlooked-for incident that will definitely turn everyone’s world upside down and without a shadow of a doubt tremendously shattered Penelope’s heart into pieces.’
