Not Forbidden Love

59. Wild Rat

"What did the old woman do?!"

"He gave you nothing and gave everything to the stranger!" Bernard voiced his annoyance at Laura.

"What you call an old woman is my mother Bernard and not that she gave me nothing, to us. Eight companies in my name as well as Mommy shares. That's enough Bernard"

"Well, that's right. That's not fair. You're his daughter"

"I don't want to talk about it" Laura immediately put her head on the bed and immediately closed her eyes, which meant she didn't want to talk about the legacy any further. One company alone has made him dizzy how he will handle the seven more. She realized her husband was not a good businessman.

"But Laura..."

"I'm sleepy!" Laura interrupted. Bernard growled and immediately turned around and walked out of the room not forgetting by slamming the door. Laura just sighed.

As soon as he got outside Bernard immediately picked up his phone and contacted someone.

"Where are you?"

"Come to an ordinary place. I need you to cheer me up" he told someone across the phone.

"Okay baby, I'll be here soon" replied the man.

Bernard ended his call and immediately headed for the parking lot. Bernard drove his car away from the luxurious mansion. It turned out from the window of her room Laura saw her husband's departure and smiled bitterly when she saw a young woman also coming out to the parking lot.

❤❤❤❤❤

"Are you very upset?" asked the woman in a spoiled voice sitting on Bernard's lap.

"Do you still need to ask after what you heard earlier" Bernard began to move his hand over the woman's body.

"The old woman is so unfair"

"It's your fault, too. If only you hadn't said the stranger's whereabouts might have made it easier for us to control the family's fortune" Bernard was half upset.

"Ssttt. I need to get my revenge, too, baby! You just follow my rules" the woman immediately kissed Bernard, silencing his mouth from the protest he was about to issue. And see, he did shut up and started to go crazy. Men always forget themselves if the woman has started to misbehave. Including Bernard the old man!. They wrestled in bed all night. By morning Bernard had just returned to Maxston's residence.

"Gee..Mr. Lincoln it's early in the morning and you just got home from your fun out there" Darren's voice surprised Bernard. He cursed inwardly and reminded himself to be more careful from now on.

"What pleasure do you mean?" Bernard asked curiously.

"That's all you know, Mr. Lincoln. What else does a guy out there until midnight like this if he doesn't want to have fun. Not so Mr. Lincoln." Darren tersrnyum scoffed.

"Are you looking for trouble with me, young man?" Bernard looked at him sharply. Darren was not affected at all he smiled. Of course his smile made Bernard even more furious.

"Oh of course not. I'm not looking for trouble. I'm looking for something else" Darren said, full of mystery.

"Well Mr. Linconl you better take a break, your face looks tired. Maybe in the game you lost!" back Darren smiled mockingly.

"What do you mean!" hiss Bernard.

"What game do you mean!"

"Maybe you lost the game of gambling earlier. So your face looks so tangled. Rest up. An old man like you needs strong stamina" Darren said as he walked past Bernard who had clenched both hands.

Just two steps back Darren stopped his steps.

"And Mr. Linconl I need to remind you because you may have forgotten. This is my home and I have rules here. Act like a guest!" he said arrogantly and then left immediately.

"Dammit!! Watch out for you Darren. Let's just see who's gonna get out of this house" he said as Darren was out of sight.

❤❤❤❤❤

"Why are you taking so long? Do you want to make my throat dry?!" rumpul Feli as soon as she saw her husband enter their room.

Darren chuckles

"I'm sorry dear" Darren immediately gave the drinking water he brought to Feli.

"Your husband needs to warn the wild rats down there" he said flatly.

"Who?" asked Feli as soon as he finished drinking.

"Bernard" Darren replied.

"Is he a bad man, one of the rogues in this palace" asked Feli curiously. Because he needs to be careful.

"All can be thieves in this palace, baby, I'll take care of you but still you have to be more careful of whoever it is"

"What about what nonna I should also be careful of"

"I said whoever it was, baby. Including grandma. Okay" Feli nodded his head in understanding.

"Alright, let's go to sleep again" Darren laid Feli's body and covered him.

"You don't want to taste me anymore" Feli deliberately teased.

"Of course I want to. But you'll be tired baby if you keep serving me. Rest" Darren kissed her forehead.

the next morning Darren was already wearing his clothes to get ready for the office. Starting her work today will probably take her time and mind energy to learn everything from scratch.

"I don't feel comfortable leaving you alone here" he continued.

"I'll be fine Darren"

"Don't worry about me too much"

"How not to worry here is too unsafe for you. Oh my God is Daddy cursing me from New York there. I feel uncomfortable at all. I can't believe I miss him so much. At least arguing with him can make my mood improve again" Darren smiled knotfully. For a few days he missed his family. What about his wife. Feli must have missed them a lot too.

"Finished" said Feli made Darren aware of his momentary daydream.

"I'll call you soon if anything happens?"

"There's Clarissa here if you forget baby. You sure you won't be affected by it?" Darren's face showed how much he was worried about his wife.

"I'm fine"

"You come with me!"

"I'll get you your clothes" Darren walked towards the walk in closet.

"If I come with you believe me you won't be able to finish your job just because you take care of me and baby you know I really don't like things that smell like documents. I'll definitely be bored"

Darren sighed, what Feli said was indeed true. If there is Feli in front of him he will not deal with documents but with Feli, doing fun things. And trust me Darren can taste his wife all day without feeling tired or tired in the least. He will stop if he has seen his wife is overwhelmed to keep up with his game. Poor fella.

"Darren.you know I don't like any woman near you.."

"I asked Lucas to come here. Maybe he'll come straight to the office" Darren interrupted Feli's words because he knew what the woman was going to say.

"And baby you know I don't like or want any other woman near me" Feli smiled sweetly as well as Darren.

"I love you so much Darren" Feli dropped himself into Darren's arms which he immediately greeted by returning Feli's embrace and peeping Feli's head.

"And you know I love you more, baby"

Feli shook his head

"No! I love you more Darren" whined Feli. Darren chuckles.

"Yes.yes.yes, you love me more. Thank you dear. Thank you for loving this imperfect man" Darren parsed his arms and gently kissed his wife's forehead.

Feli smiled then tiptoed to kiss her husband's lips.

"In my eyes you're much more perfect"

"I don't think I want to go to the office. We'll sleep all day. Looks like my son's expecting a morning visit from his Daddy" Darren scrunched up mischievously.

"And you know baby I want you too" Feli bit his lip.

"Oh my Feli" Darren groans and attacks Feli with a kiss that is immediately greeted by Feli. And just as they both wanted the fun activities to happen.

"I'm sorry we. We were misfortune" Darren said flatly as he and Feli went downstairs and saw the whole family waiting for them.

"It's okay, baby"

"Sit down" said nonna, pointing to the chair at the end of the table. The chair he used to occupy as the ruler of the house.

Before Darren sat down he first pulled out a chair for Feli.

"You shouldn't have to wait. You can have breakfast without me and my wife" he said.

"When we can do it. You are the host" Bernard said. Darren chuckled at the innuendo directed at him.

"Wah Mr. Linconl I really like that way of thinking. Self-awareness is important. And for everything as Mr. Linconl now I'm the owner of this mansion so behave and act like a guest" Darren stared at the people who were there.

"I'm sorry before Clarissa, you're not a member of the family here, you're someone else shouldn't you show your goodwill. You've been eating free sleep here. At least you can look up to Emily" Darren pointed to Emily, who was arranging breakfast at a table with several maids. Clarissa widened her eyes in disbelief at what she heard.

"You want me to be a maid?" ask him not to believe. Darren aimed his shoulder indifferently.

"And especially for you, never draw near to my wife" he stared intently at Clarissa.

"And my rule is only one, to everyone never touch my wife for any reason and never hurt her including with your own words" he said firmly.

"Because I won't hesitate on all of you. Believe me, I'm terrible to be angry" Darren laughed as he said that line.

"Isn't that Clarissa?" he looked back at Clarissa. Clarissa was just mumbling.

"This applies to you, too, aunty?" Darren turned to look at Laura. Laura just snorted not answering at all.

"And for breakfast like this, you don't have to wait for me or my wife just for breakfast. I wasn't that cruel to let everyone wait hungry" he chuckled.

"Grandma do you mind what I just said?" Darren's gaze softened as he looked at the old woman.

Nonna smiled as she shook her head.

"Do as you wish. You're the owner."
