Chapter 31
Meeting the Salvatore brothers was very disappointing. None of them interested
her and she kept thinking about Jeremy. She knew she shouldn't because he
wasn't from the same social class but he was there her entire life or so. Unlike
anyone else. He kissed her back...
She was walking down one of the hallways when she heard some laughs. She
was near the kitchen. She took a peek and saw Jeremy talking with a maid. She
had her hand on his arm. Elena's blood boiled and she left. She knew she should
let it happen, that it was only natural for him to end up with this girl or another
one of his class. But deep down she was aware she couldn't. She went to look
for her personal maid Mabel.
Mabel: Can I help you ?
Elena : Let's go talk in private.
The maid was a little surprised by this request and she would be even more
when Elena started to talk.
Elena : Have you ever been with...a man ?
Mabel : her cheeks were red What do you mean, Miss ?
Elena : What is on your mind right now. You can speak freely, I'm not here to judge you. I just want some information.
Mabel : Yes.
Elena : Oh so tell me how it happens...
The young maid explained for a few minutes.
Elena : And...I would like it ?
Mabel : she nodded If the man is a good partner.
Elena : Alright. Well this conversation never happened ?
Mabel : If you want.
Elena : Swear on the Lord.
Mabel : I swear to God I want say a word.
A few nights later
Jeremy : You asked me to come ?
It was late at night and he couldn't know what she wanted.
Elena : Yes. Close the door.
He did so and waited for her to say something else.
Elena : Do you like her ?
Jeremy : Who ?
Elena : I don't know her name. You were laughing with her the other day.
Jeremy : Oh that's Lucy.
Elena : Do you like her ?
Jeremy : No.
Elena : she walked to him You liked my kiss ?
Jeremy : he hesitated before answering Yes.
Elena : Good she kissed him
He kissed her back for a while.
Elena : What I want you to do is...making me a woman.
Jeremy : he looked at her surprised You mean...
Elena : Yes.
Jeremy : I'm not...Elena, there would be no going back. If you want to get married to...
Elena : she put a finger against his lips You talk too much. I don't care about my future wedding or which brother my mother will pick for me. I want to do this for myself.
This is what you always wanted, he thought. That was his last coherent thought
before he led her to the bed and granted her wish. He was glad she chose him
to teach her pleasure...
Two months later
Bonnie sneaked out without making a noise. Her belly was bigger but she still
managed to hide it from the eyes of the crew. It was night and she walked on
the upper deck. It was night. She knew they were very close to Bonnaventure
and she needed a row boat. Most men were drunk since they celebrated the fact
they finally reached Canada. She avoided all the bodies and stole a boat. The
operation wasn't easy, it took time and she made noises but no one came. She
rowed away to the island.
