บท 22: Ugly Maids
"Honey! Leo was very happy from his birthday party. Thank you for your support." Oriana kissed the duke as she served him another glass of wine. She sat beside him with a bottle in her hands. Whenever he took a gulp, she filled the glass again, making sure that he was drunk and full of pride.
"Hahaha! Is that so? Anything for you." he wrapped his arm around her waist and pinched it with a lecherous grin on his face. Oriana smiled back shyly. Her eyes fluttered.
"But honey. Are we really not planning anything for Damon? What if he resented us for not caring about him enough." her lips pouted seductively, "he would blame me for not being his real mother." Vicent laughed. Knowing well how much she hated Damon.
He would have helped Damon if not for his pride. That boy never begged him for help. Neither he showed weakness. Even when he was bullied, he looked at them with disdain.
Even three days ago, he had asked the boy if he needed any help. But Damon was as cold as ever. He was just like his arrogant mother who thought that the world was beneath them. Nothing was worth their attention.
"Honey.. What are you thinking about?" Vincent stared at the young girl in his arms. She acted so shyly and would do anything for him.
"My legs are hurting, can you massage them?" Oriana nodded at once. She waved her hands and the staff left the room. She placed his feet in her lap and started massaging them diligently.
The obedience she showed him made his eyes flickered. His chest filled with pride.
"If Damon wanted a party, he would have asked. He is not a kid who cares about such things. You should not worry about his resentment. The child is busy with training knights already." Olivia sighed as if she was still burdened.
"Truth be told your grace. I am worried for the child. He is working way too hard. How about we lessen his responsibilities so that he had some time to enjoy himself." her eyes sparkled with joy as if she had thought of something. "Your grace, you would not blame me if I made some decision for him, would you?" That was her main goal of returning to him without being called.
He noticed her anticipation and laughed. She was a sly fox. Now he understood her intentions. But he was not going to stop her. If she could bend Damon, he would be more than willing to help. The boy had to change for his own good.
"Of course not, I am sure as a mother, you will only help him in growing up." with joy, she hugged him and her hands reached for his pants.
"Darling! Do you need help with this part of your body too?" his eyes darkened when she licked her lips with desire.
"Yes, please!" The sound of moaning and screaming soon filled the room. How many times had they done it? Oriana even forgot the count, she only knew she could not walk when they finished it.
Oriana was limping when she returned to her room. She had only sat down and sighed when the door knocked and Agatha returned with an aggrieved look on her face.
"Her lips are tightly sealed, your grace. I have worked hard. I did laundry for her and even had dinner with her. But she did not tell me who she likes. She was being so secretive. I think she already doubts my intentions. How about you send someone else to follow Olivia?" Agatha complained as she limped. She was so exhausted after working all day.
How many months had it been when she last worked as a maid here. Oriana had just returned from the duke's room. Her whole body was exhausted too. After punishing the maid, she made sure that she sucked him dry so that he would not look for another woman for the time being.
What kind of a man was he! He knew nothing except lust and greed! If not for him, the dukedom had been enjoying his old grandeur. His son was much better! If Damon had been the duke, the dukedom would have received support from the royal palace and progressed much more.
Too bad, she didn't give birth to Damon! If he went to power, he would never support her.
"Your grace! You look worried. Are you thinking about that young girl." Oriana shook her head. She should not think about it. She was lucky that Vincent was the duke or she would have been the duchess.
"She is handled already. She had been whipped and thrown out of the palace without her pay or a recommendation letter. She would not be able to find work in a noble house ever." Agatha snorted, "they all think that they could follow your footsteps and winover the heart of his grace and replace you. They did not know how different and unique you are. They neither have skills nor the beauty that matches you!" she flattered with a fawning smile on her face.
Oriana finally smiled. She pushed away the negative thoughts.
"Forget about it. Give Olivia some random work. As long as she was busy enough, she would forget about her lover. And hire some more maids. They should be experienced and trained but make sure none of them will be beautiful. I will personally interview them next week.
Apart from that, have you sorted out the gifts? I want a list of the gifts with the name of the sender so that i could thank them personally and send a token of appreciation. It has been three days yet such a simple task is due." Oriana complained as she sat on her desk and took out the file of her monthly expenditure.
A frown appeared on her lips as she calculated the amount. Agatha noticed the change in her mood and retreated skillfully.
