When Suzanne noticed that Dante had made his choice, she didn't say anything else. Dante also noticed this and so he teleported towards the reading table to take a seat.
"Aww, I'm so tired," Since both were recently done eating, Suzanne still felt a little tired and so she decided to take a nap.
"Hmm?... Oh okay," Meanwhile, Dante took his space cube and placed it on his table. The space cube had a striking resemblance to a puzzle cube with six sides having distinct colors. Each side/ face had nine slots which could only store a particular type of object. Be it animate or inanimate.
Dante placed his finger on the red colored side of the space cube, a light blue holographic screen divided into nine slots appeared on the cube. The image was in the form of a table having three rows and three columns.
On the first row and column of the table, which was the first slot, a miniaturized image of a book was shown with a digit number of 20 written at the bottom right corner of the slot.
Dante clicked on the image and the holographic screen was sucked back into the cube. A new single screen appeared with image and title of the book shown in full display, he swiped the book to the left to show the other nineteen books before placing his hand towards the screen as though he wanted to grab a book.
The screen vanished and the book appeared in his hand. But before he started, he took a little bell placed on the edge of his reading table.
*Jingle* *Jingle*
The bell rang and not up to five seconds, a knock was heard by the door. A maid then appeared into the room bowing deeply before him, she shifted her gaze up to ask.
"My Lord, how may I be of service," she said, shifting her gaze back to the floor.
Dante didn't reply but simply massaged his throat while looking at the book he held in hand. Now the maid looked up again.
"Very well my Lord. I'll be back in a minute," The maid replied before heading towards the kitchen to fetch him a cup of water.
********
A few hours later, Suzanne woke up to find Dante still sitting on the arm less chair she last saw him before she took a nap.
Noticing he was still engrossed in his studies, Suzanne stood up in the nude as she walked towards him while gracefully walking towards him and swaying her hips seductively. She wrapped her arms around his neck from behind and placed her huge G-CUP bust on his head.
"Dearest? Aren't you tired?" She asked with her sweet enchanting voice, feeling a little worried.
"Nope," he replied bluntly, his eyes still focused on what he was doing.
"Eh?... Really?... Okay then, how about juice? Would you like some?" She asked as her fingers twirled around his ears.
"Of course,"
" Great!! I'll go get some right now," Suzanne heard his response and a smile appeared on her lips, she patted his shoulders before aiming for the exit.
"Ahhh!!" Suzanne didn't expect to be pulled back so abruptly, now her bubble butt was pressed gently on Dante's lap. She turned towards Dante in shock by what he did.
"You don't have to go yourself, I'll inform a maid. So you....." While Dante was talking, Suzanne suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck to plant a kiss on his cheeks.
"Can't I assist my man with this little chore?" She whispered with her cute voice sounding in his ear. Dante flashed a naughty smile and asked.
"So now you've agreed to being my woman right?"
"I never said I had accepted your proposal," she replied, flicking his nose a little. She felt excited by how he referred to her as his woman.
"Neither did you reject it too. Which could only mean one thing. You find me too irresistible to reject my offer," he winked while caressing her smooth thick thighs.
"Cheeky boy," she pulled his cheeks.
"Ouch!...Ouch!....That hurt," He lied.
Suzanne couldn't deny it, she knew it was the truth. He was simply too irresistible for her to not fall in love with. She stared into his eyes and said. "Where's my shy baby? I miss him so much,"
"He's never coming back because he was too weak to take care of you," his hands trailed towards her snatch, before locking lips with hers.
"Mmm.... Thank you," she broke the kiss and kissed his forehead before getting up to grab her night robe as she heads towards the kitchen to grab the juice he needed.
*****
"I'll be right back,"
With the juice placed on the table, Suzanne notified Dante as she aimed to get her belongings ready for when she leaves.
Though she knew leaving the house was going to be remotely impossible, still she couldn't help but wonder about the possibility of it happening.
Right after she took the juice before giving it to Dante, Mary, the head maid had informed her about Damon returning back home in the evening. Upon hearing the news, she knew she had to act fast.
Now, few minutes remained before Damon returned back home. Suzanne went back to Dante's room to find him already asleep. She walked towards him to place a kiss on his cheeks.
'Wait for me mom. I promise to take you away with me once I'm old enough and then I'll marry you and make you happy forever,' Remembering the promise an eight year old Dante made to her, tears crept out from the corner of her eyes.
She thanked Dante for the few moments she had with him. She truly felt genuine happiness, the likes of which she had never felt before.
*Knock* *Knock*
After knocking twice, the old maid, Mary teleported into the room with a magic circle appearing underneath her.
"Your Grace, Lord Damon has arrived. I've informed him of your desire to meet him shortly," Mary bowed before Suzanne as she said this. Suzanne wiped the tears from her eyes before taking a deep breath.
"Thank you Mary. I'll be seeing him very soon," Mary heard Suzanne's response and bowed one last time before vanishing from the room.
Suzanne didn't want him to worry about her anymore. She couldn't bear the thought of him witnessing her death right in front of him. She hated herself for being acquainted with Damon in the first place.
Right now she hated him but that's not all. She wanted Dante to hate him for the rest of his life. She wanted Dante to have nothing to do with this house again.
If she were to notify Dante of the curse she had, of not being able to leave the mansion, she knew he would do everything he could in finding a way out for her. But that means he would still have an attachment with this house and she doesn't want that.
She wants him to have nothing to do with Damon or his siblings anymore, which is why she hopes to get killed in front of Damon. Suzanne believes if she were to do this, Dante would have nothing but hatred towards his dad and every one in the house.
Though it was a cliche trick but still, it was the best thing she could think of. She had spiked Dante's juice with a sleeping pill, she couldn't bare to look into his eyes before leaving this world. The last memory she would want to keep of him is of him being happy with her. Which is why she wants him to remember their last moments together in the same way also.
*Knock* *knock*
"Enter," Damon said in a deep husky voice. With the room he was currently in being his study, he was seated on his work chair as he removed his bow-tie from his neck.
He was currently dressed in a dark blue waistcoat worn over a white dress shirt with a dark blue trouser worn underneath. He opened the bottle of the alcoholic beverage placed on his table as he poured a few amount into the glass cup he had in hand.
He gulped the beverage before his eyes fell upon Suzanne who was currently dressed in a revealing black dress that fully showed her right thigh and perfect curves.
Her beautiful thin lips were red like cherry as she walked towards Damon.
Noticing her exquisite beauty, Damon couldn't help but gulp a few more of his red colored beverage. He said after noticing how close she was to his table.
"My Lady, please sit down," He said without a hint of malice in his tone. He was really well versed in the art of deception.
"Cut the crap. There's no one standing outside within the vicinity," Suzanne notified, clearly disgusted by his annoying voice.
"My...my, shouldn't a wife be more welcoming whenever her husband arrives from a long trip?" Damon asked in an ominous voice Suzanne had grown accustomed to hearing.
"It ends today," she paused a little before continuing. " I'm removing the ring," She said in a voice not dwindling in its determination.
"Hehe...how interesting. Do it, there's no one stopping you," Damon chuckled a bit with his face distorting into an unsightly grimace.
