“Maria, do you mean that?” Lorenzo asked again, maybe he was wrong or Maria misunderstood what he meant. He knows Maria is aware that he is using Morris to get her.
Maria jerks her head a few times, fidgeting her fingers. She is also nervous, thinking Lorenzo might hurt her or even withdraw his words. But she trusts him. He meant what he said and she believes Morris will have a bright future in Lorenzo's care. This time, she will choose her happiness, and Val Roberto is the only person who is making her life continue to live, that was what she thought. Now that Lorenzo wants their son, she will give him the full right and never bother them.
Lorenzo's fist turned into a ball, controlling the temper to burst out, trying to calm his hurt feelings. Maria is the most stubborn woman he ever met and he thought she was a soft woman under her holy veil. He was wrong, Maria chose the crooked life. Indeed, judging the book by its cover is a big mistake to make.
Lorenzo heaves a deep sigh and speaks.
“Well then. Before we parted, sleep with me for the last time.” Lorenzo said, grinning evilly. His facial expression shows no love and stares at Maria full of lust and desire.
“B-But..but..” Maria panics when Lorenzo stands up and walks towards her.
“Go down, eat some. Come up here when you're done. The second room to the right after this.” Lorenzo instructed, leaving Maria dumbfounded.
She didn't expect the consequences. Indeed, she never laid for a long time except for Lorenzo. Maria feels like she cheated Val a thousand times. What if Val learned that she isn't a virgin at all and even gave birth. She isn't pure at all.
Maria steps outside the room, walking slowly down the stairs. As she arrived at the dining table, she saw Lorenzo and Morris happily eating their meal. She felt the ache and pinch in her heart. How she wished she loved Lorenzo so that it would be a perfect family for Morris.
Maria shrugged her thoughts and pulled the chair, sitting in front of the father and son and eating silently.
She needs to prepare herself, after this, she is free to live with Val finally. He trusts Lorenzo's words.
“Mom, Mr. Lorenzo said you will be away and I will stay here. Is it true?” Morris asked innocently, unaware that his mother is dumping her, choosing her happiness.
“Yes honey, so be a good boy and study well.”
“Okay Mommy, you should take care of yourself too and I will wait for you.”
Maria continued to eat and didn't spare a glance with Lorenzo who is looking at her as if he is piercing spade in her heart. Maria feels nothing but the happiness of freedom. She ignores Lorenzo and continues to eat, she needs energy. For the second time, she will offer her body for the sake of love for Val, the one she truly loves.
After they ate, the middle-aged woman whom she heard from the butler, Auntie Laura, approached her. She can feel her concern and speak to her.
“I am not into responsibility nor meddling in your life Maria, but I wish you chose the better decision. I knew Lorenzo for a long time, dear.” Auntie Laura said, taking her hand caressing her palm.
“I am sorry, Aunty Laura. I just want to feel and chase my dream and that is to be with the man I love for a long time.”
“I wanted to get mad, dear. Perhaps you are still young and don't know about real happiness. You have Morris, this is selfishness.”
“I know, but how will I know if I didn't at least try?”
“Oh dear, poor you. So innocent yet stubborn.” Aunty Laura pulled Maria to her chest and hugged her, cupping her cheeks as she spoke again.
“Now listen, you don't know Lorenzo but I tell you. When you find yourself lost and nowhere to go, come back here. I am here for you dear. I just can't stand to see our innocent Morris is a victim of your unwanted pregnancy. I know you, I watched you, and I believe you will wake up from this nightmare, Maria.” Aunty Laura said and wiped the tears on Maria's cheek.
“Now go, Lorenzo is waiting for you. Morris will be safe and loved.”
Maria bowed her head showing respect to Aunty Laura. She is glad there is someone who understands her. She wasn't expecting a good treatment, she deserves hate and harsh words but Auty Laura is different. For now, she will follow her happiness. Whether it was wrong or right, she promised not to regret her decision.
She went up to the second floor and entered the room where Lorenzo instructed her. She goes straight to the bed but she sees a note on the nightstand on top of the black box.
She looks around the cozy room, with an elegant interior design. The room color is more on the black and red motif but plain. She took the notes and read them carefully. It says she must groom herself and wear the clothes.
Maria brought the box with her to the huge bathroom. She showered well, making herself new and clean. Tonight is the last night she will give her body to Lorenzo out of love. She is just hoping she will not get pregnant again.
When done, Maria opened the box after drying her hair and sat on the stool beside the bathtub.
Her mouth opened in agape as she saw a pair of black lingerie. It wasn't just simple lingerie but a cosplay one.
Her body flinched when she heard a noise approaching and thought, it must be Lorenzo.
Without even thinking, she wore the lingerie as fast as she could and the moment she saw herself in the mirror, her face turned beet-red.
The piece of cloth is too sexy, seductive, and shameless. She doesn't like wearing anything and only covers her body with see-through lace lingerie.
Maria never wears this kind of sinful cloth. Her lips quiver while pulling down the hem of it and glancing at the mirror once more. There isn't any cover on her frontal shape. She was wearing one but it was a string of underwear only.
Hearing the noise from the bedroom, Maria rushed and checked herself in the mirror once more.
Maria slowly walks, covering her private part with the small palms as if it will help to protect her from Lorenzo's lustful eyes.
The light was so bright and he saw Lorenzo on the bed, leaning his head on his arm, half-naked body wearing only boxers. She can't deny it. Lorenzo has a well-built body and knows the fact that his body has the perfect size of his match. She didn't even see Val's body, she couldn't even compare. All she knew, Val is perfect for her and she loves him so much that she is willing to give him whatever Lorenzo asks for his freedom.
Maria scolds herself. Why is she a bit disappointed? How she wished it was Val who is in the bed right now but she can't deny that her heart is not lying too. Lorenzo made her heart beat faster out of the blue.
Maria hears Lorenzo whistling at her and chuckles.
Pervert!” Maria said and turned her gaze to the window as if she didn't see anything. Lorenzo smiled maliciously seeing Maria was affected by his appearance.
Maria pulls all her courage and walks towards the bed. Before she hopped on, Lorenzo stopped her.
“Wait! Stay where you are,” he said, which made Maria halt. Lorenzo sits on the edge of the end of the bed and lets Maria follow him.
“Come here,” he said with a cold voice that made Maria's body shiver. She doesn't know if she is feeling excited or nervous because she is afraid her body will betray her once she is under the control of Lorenzo's touch.
Maria remains standing still hands on her chest and lower part. Lorenzo stares at her lovingly as he pulls his hands together, placing them on his shoulders, circling on his neck.
Maria's heart beats faster as she feels the weird warm feeling. She knew this from the start. The familiar feeling the first time Lorenzo laid on her. Lorenzo's legs are open wide while Maria stands in between, holding her breath from whatever will happen next. She kept swallowing her saliva the moment Lorenzo's fresh warm breath fanned her face.
“Are you nervous, Maria?” Lorenzo asked, bringing back Maria's one hand placed to his bare chest.
“Y-yes..” Maria admitted and closed her eyes feeling the smooth bare skin of Lorenzo's chest until she heard Lorenzo speak, so sweet and sincere.
“Same here, Maria,” Lorenzo said, guiding Maria's right palm caressing his chest buds and he moaned.
“Hmmm,” Lorenzo stared at Maria's face with eyes still closed.
