Another Day!

Donna rubbed her temple apprehensively. How can she make such a big mistake this time!? She only had herself to blame, her family is in danger of losing such a golden opportunity! So, stupid of her!

She looked at her daughter's face, Stephanie is in deep thoughts busy thinking of a way out of the big crisis they were facing now.

"B-but what if the couple already had sex? And Helen is no longer a virgin! What we're going to do about that?" Donna asked in a tense voice.

"Mom, we can bring Helen to my favorite beauty clinic and have her virginity restored, that's not a problem at all! As long there's money, we can make her a virgin girl again!" Stephanie dismissed her mother's fears.

"Okay, good!" Donna smiled for the first time, feeling relieved.

"But what if... if Helen got pregnant and the baby is already on the way? Let's face it...your sister is beautiful and any man won't be able to resist her charm. I'm sure that Helen and Peter already did the deed and consummated their union... I feared that she is already carrying Peter's baby inside her womb!" Donna voiced out her biggest worry at the moment.

Stephanie ran her hand through her hair. "Don't worry about it, we can abort the baby anytime if it's still a fetus...besides it's still more than two weeks right? The chances of Helen not yet pregnant are very high. And there are many ways to abort a fetus and some clinics offered that, they are operating discreetly everywhere around the city," she said in a casual tone.

Donna's face erupted into a bright smile. All her worries are finally laid to rest. She feels much better now after learning that their problems have a ready solution anytime, all they need to do is bring Helen back!

Stephanie rose to her feet. She looked at her mother calmly. "Stop worrying about everything, Mom. We will get Helen back! Before father finds out what's going on. We need to do it quick!" she said urgently.

"Yes! When are we going to Cirmeald District?" Donna asked. They have to do it soon.

"Tomorrow afternoon!" Stephanie replied. "Mom, you go to your room now and sleep. In front of Dad, just keep pretending that nothing is wrong in this house, you got me?" She wants her mother to continue pretending that nothing is wrong - so that they still have enough time to get Helen back.

Convincing Helen not to tell their father of what their mother had done to her is another thing. But she can't also blame her mother for acting cruelly towards her youngest sister. It's hard seeing the offspring of the maid inside the mansion every day. She can very well understand that side of her mother's feelings. That's why she can't entirely blame her at all for sending Helen away from the mansion when she sees an opportunity.

Donna nodded her head in understanding. "Okay, thank you daughter for helping me rectify my blunder," she said, feeling grateful for her daughter's wise remedy to her dilemma.

"I'm going upstairs now to my room to retire for the night," Stephanie said and walked towards the entrance of the gazebo.

"Good night, daughter!" Donna said cheerfully while watching her daughter walking on the path going back to the house.

She was deeply worried earlier, but now she can breathe easier because Stephanie helped her ironed out the problems before they can even begin to terrorize her.

She smiled brilliantly facing the dazzling sky above. She stared at the star-filled sky and inhaled fresh air into her lungs for a few minutes.

Time to go upstairs to the master's bedroom and sleep early because tomorrow they need to travel to the Cirmeald District and get Helen back. She hoped they won't encounter any difficulties in bringing that maid's daughter back to the mansion tomorrow.

She exited the gazebo and left the garden going back to the mansion to retire for the night.

Meanwhile, inside Helen's room in the boarding house.

The time was now 12:30.... past midnight.

She was already in deep slumber starting at 9:30 in the evening... when suddenly... she was awakened by the sound of a bed creaking...followed by a barrage of moaning and panting...ugh!

Here we go again!

She released a deep sigh and rolled her eyes... she covered her ears with the blanket to block the sounds coming from the room next to hers... she was glad that the other room was quiet tonight.

She hoped that the couple in the next room will finish romping quickly so that she can enjoy silence again!

One hour later.

The creaking of the bed subsided, no more panting, groaning, and moaning!

Thank god! They're done!

A moment later, she heard the next room door opened and somebody exited and the footsteps went away.

That must be the guy leaving the room!

Finally!

Then silence took over.

Helen went back to sleep, feeling relieved.

Hours went by.

The next time she opened her eyes, it was already 6:30 in the morning.

Start of another day!

She rises and shines... looking forward to working in the restaurant and seeing Peter again after closing time.

For a brief moment, she realized how her life becomes so simple and revolved to two things only... working in the restaurant and seeing Peter daily after work.

She likes her current life better, no more stepmother torturing her emotionally and physiologically on daily basis.

She is finally free from that cage, she's loving her freedom right now, hooray! she's now a certified adult! Able to decide for herself and earn a living without depending on her parent's supports. It's a satisfying feeling, both rewarding and enlightening at the same time.

So this is how it feels to be an adult, earning money for a living and the best thing about her current condition is - she gained herself a wonderful boyfriend!

After all the difficulties that she's going through inside the walls of the Miller mansion, she finally able to break free! It's a glorious feeling indeed!

Indeed, there's a light at the end of the dark tunnel!

And she's enjoying that light of hope right now. She's looking forward to spending her life with Peter one month later.

Her working experience in the restaurant is nice, so far so good!

Time to stop her musing!

She left the bed and exited her room, going to the bathroom to relieve her bladder... then eat breakfast, takes a shower then prepare herself for work.

***

Inside the PW compound.

Peter woke up at 6:00 in the morning after sleeping early at 9:30 last night.

And the first thing that pops up in his mind was his gorgeous girlfriend's pretty face, Helen!

He smiled happily. She's everything that a guy could ask for in a girlfriend, she's a complete package and she's his beloved woman!

He feels so lucky!

"I love you, sweetie pie!" he spoke to Helen's lovely image floating in his mind.

He got up from the bed wearing a bright smile on his face looking forward to seeing his girlfriend again tonight.
