(Hello everyone. So sorry for this late update but life has been hectic and I lost my writing partner..I hope to update regularly from now on)
Maria woke up the next morning feeling very sore and uncomfortable. Sebastian definitely didn't know how to treat a lady in bed.
She slowly got up and went towards the shower. The hot water messaged her battered body.
She didn't realize how lovely the water felt until she was moaning. Grateful for the warm water.
Quite unwanted and unannounced. Sebastian opened the shower curtain and stared at Maria with a smug on his face.
"Now then."
"Now then, what." Maria said softly, trying not to sound to annoyed from being interrupted.
"With the way you were moaning. I almost thought you had someone in here with you."
Maria was at a loss for words, was she moaning that loudly?
"Of course not. You are the only man in my life." said Maria faking a smile.
"And that neighbor from next door. You too fucking?"
"Sebastian! I would never, what makes you think that I would ever betray you?"
"Maybe to get revenge for me always cheating on you."
"As much as that hurts me. I would never ever lie with another man besides you." Maria tried her best to stop her tears.
"What are you crying for? I still treat you like my wife in bed and for that you should be grateful."
Maria sobbed still.
"Look Maria, its Sunday. How about you make a nice Sunday lunch and we can spend it outside with Hazel."
"Oh darling, that would make me very happy." To her surprise Maria even gave him a kiss.

Maria still couldn't believe what came over her husband. It's like he woke up a different person. Maybe she was dreaming? Maybe the Whiskey he got from Georg had special powers?
Maria chuckled silently at the thought. Her thoughts started to drift to Georg and the accusations her husband made that morning. It's true she could never lie with another man besides Sebastian. It's all she's ever known. Right if on cue she saw Georg walking to the lake, dressed in nothing but some shorts...Well perhaps he's the exception.

For lunch Maria prepared a wonderful Sunday roast with some vegetables along with mashed potatoes and gravy.
Hazel just finished setting the table when Sebastian came downstairs.
"You are just in time. Hazel is finished with the table and lunch is ready." Maria said smiling at him.
"About that, Maria something came up and I have to go to work."
"Are you certain? On a Sunday. They can't make you work on Sunday's." Maria didn't even try to hide the hurt in her voice.
"Something came up God Dimmit. I will see you later and tell Hazel I said goodbye."
With that he was gone.
"Where is daddy going?" Hazel asked looking confused.
"Oh I know he's going to go buy pudding isn't he?"
"No darling, daddy has to go to work."
"I was so looking forward to it mummy."
"So was I. That doesn't mean we can't have a nice lunch."
Hazel smiled and went outside.

Georg saw Hazel running towards him.
"Hello Mr. is the lake nice and warm?"
"Hello Hazel. Why yes it's splendid today."
"Mummy and I are going to have lunch in a few minutes."
Georg frowned.
"Isn't daddy going to join you two?"
"No..He had to go to work."
Work on a Sunday. Georg knew what that meant. He was with another woman.
"Well I have an idea, why don't you join me and mummy?"
As if on cue Maria called Hazel home and waved at him. His heart fluttered.
"Go and ask mummy first. While I change." said Georg grabbing his towel.
"There is no time for that silly." Hazel grabbed his hand and ran with him towards Maria.
It was a sight to see.
Maria was somewhat shocked to see them but not surprised.
"Mummy can join us for lunch? He's wet but he has a towel."
Maria couldn't help but laugh.
She wanted to decline but why not?
"Of course he can, I've just finished putting the food on the table."
They all sat down and started to enjoy the lovely meal Maria had prepared. Georg had to admit he saw her staring at his chest a few times but who was he to judge. He did the same with her.
She wore a beautiful lavender summer dress. It stopped just above the knee and had a bit of a revealing neckline.
When lunch was over he was rather in the mood to go swimming again.
"Mummy, I feel like swimming. said that the water is nice today."
"Well as long as he promised to look out for you, I don't see anything wrong with the idea."
"You're not swimming with us?" Georg blurted out almost unhappy.
"Uh no I don't think I should."
"Oh please mummy, please."
Maria couldn't resist her daughter. She gave her a smile and agreed.

Maria and Hazel went to go get dressed while Georg went in the lake. He couldn't wait to see Maria in her bathing suit.
He was rather disappointed when he saw her. She had a long dress over her bathing suit.
Hazel jumped in the water and swam towards Georg.
"Come on mummy the water is so nice."
"I'm coming." Maria walked towards the water when she saw Hazel frowning.
"What's the matter Hazel?"
"Well mummy...are you going to swim in that?"
"Well yes that's the plan."
"It won't be very comfortable when wet Maria, that material tends to get scratchy when wet."
Maria sighed in defeat. She was ashamed of her body. She slowly pulled the dress over her head and walked towards the water. Not making eye contact.
Georg felt his heart sink. Her whole body was covered in bruises and scars. There almost wasn't an inch of her left that wasn't purple, yellow or blue.
He also noticed the marks around her thighs.
Now he knew her screams were definitely of pain last night.
He thought someone was attacking her but realized it must be Sebastian.
He had to admit she had a beautiful body.
Long, toned legs. Slender arms. Flat tummy. Curved hips. Wonderful bosom. and the cutest, round behind he'd ever seen. He found himself wondering how anyone would get it over their heart to hurt her.

They spent the day enjoying the water and sun. Maria became more comfortable after a while and they all had a marvelous time. It wasn't until Hazel complained that she had a headache that Maria got out of the water.
"Oh darling, it's probably from all the sun. Why don't I take you home and you can lie down."
Hazel nodded her head.
"Hazel if you want I can bring you some ice cream, I just bought some yesterday." Georg said feeling bad for the girl.
"That would be very nice, wouldn't it darling."
Maria picked her up and took her to lie down while Georg got the ice cream.
When he came back hazel was already asleep.
"Bless her; she's had a long day."
Georg walked further towards Maria.
"You know Maria, I still have ice cream. If you'd like to have some?"
"That would be lovely, maybe we should have it at your house, I don't wish to wake Hazel"
"Of course."
They walked into the house. Maria was stunned, it was the most beautiful house she had ever seen.
Her train of thought shifter drastically when she saw Georg had removed his towel.
He looked at her with a knowing smirk.
They walked towards each other and in a matter of seconds. She was in his arms.
Kissing each other as if it were the last. Lips caressed and tongues danced to the rhythm of their want and desire.
