Chapter 4 Drunk Girl

Penulis: October
I had a soak in a bathtub that could fit probably five people in it. After my bath, I nervously waited for Clarence to summon me. Then, I fell asleep.

'He didn't summon me. Did he forget me?' I wondered. He did not. He wasn't going to do it with me back then.

One month went by. Clarence spent most of his time working overseas and would only come back occasionally. Every time he did, he would catch up with me and ask how I was doing.

I put on a few pounds during my time living there. Just when I was going to ask my lawyer if the contract was legit, I got paid.

I held my phone, counting all the zeroes in my account. I laughed so hard that the bed might actually break. I got myself a nice, cushy job. My boss didn't really micromanage me. In fact, he would only indulge me even when I made some outrageous requests like getting a jewelry set that was worth more than my yearly salary at an auction.

I kept pushing the limits. When I realized Clarence wouldn't get mad no matter what I did, I got cocky. My ego was pushing me further and further ahead. I'd bring a whole entourage of bodyguards with me just for a shopping trip.

I could feel everyone staring at me enviously, and I enjoyed it. I'd go to get-togethers with friends wearing the most expensive clothes money could buy. Then, they would give me the jealous stares, which I also enjoyed.

My friends egged me on, and I bought the priciest wine the bar had. They made me drink until I was blackout drunk. At the end of the day, the bodyguards dragged me home. My arrogance and hubris found fertile soil to grow, and grow they did.

However, no one was there to clean up all the dirt and filth around my ego. Suffice it to say, they overwhelmed me.

When I came home blackout drunk the third time, Clarence was at home. I was humming out of tune, and my tight dress was nearly off, revealing my body. My face was covered in red marks from strangers' kisses.

Clarence was on his couch, fiddling with his thumb ring. He looked at me darkly, his silence deafening. I tilted my head. My brain was so muddled that I thought he was a model at the bar. So, I took off my heels and trotted up to him, staring intently.

Clarence frowned and wiped off the marks on my face. I boldly kissed his cheek and stuffed a wad of cash down his collar. Everything stopped for a moment, and everyone stared at us.

Driven by my oversized arrogance, I said, "You're an old fogey, but you're hot. How much do I have to pay you for a night?"

Clarence's lashes trembled. "How much do you have?"

I held up my phone, showing him my bank balance. "As much as you want!"

The butler buried his face in his hand and immediately put a stop to the conversation. He asked Clarence to calm down, telling him I was acting out of line because I was drunk. Then, he took the hangover cure Mrs. Wolfgang gave him and shoved it down my throat.

I complained, "Ugh, what is this? It's shit. Give me the best booze you have!" I thought the butler was my bodyguard. So, I pointed at Clarence. "And get me more models! They have to at least be as handsome as this one!"

Clarence sneered. "You want more men?"

I nodded, still immersed in the girl I would pose as whenever my friends were around. "Yeah. One's not enough for me…"

Clarence asked, "And how many do you need?"

I paused. How should I know? I've never done it before. Still, I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of a hot guy. So, I boasted, "At least seven or eight!"

Clarence chortled. I rubbed my forearms. Things got a little cold all of a sudden.

  • A Love 32 Years Apart   Chapter 15 Sunrise

    Clarence probably felt his heart break as his eyes turned red-rimmed. "I don't want to raise a family."I said nothing more and coaxed him into signing the papers. Then, I told him to get a checkup once every six months. After that day, I refused to see Clarence. I told the butler to take him back to the Ashington manor, where he could continue his studies.I returned to Ashington as well, but I didn't go home. My life was coming to an end, and I didn't want Clarence to see this hideous side of me. Once my business was in order, I felt… empty inside.I spent all day sitting, wondering what I should do. The butler couldn't take it anymore, and he suggested we go for a walk, or we could summon Clarence again. He said Clarence had fallen ill and demanded to see me.I refused his latter idea and asked him to take me to the beach. The east coast stretched as far as the eye could see, and its sunset was always glorious to behold."It's late, madam. Let's go home."I said quietly, "You

  • A Love 32 Years Apart   Chapter 14 Nearing the End

    Clarence got behind me and pushed the wheelchair. "Are you in this wheelchair because you're sick?"I answered honestly, "No, because I don't have long to live."A tense silence fell, and I could feel Clarence clenching on the wheelchair's handles so hard, they might break.He said hoarsely, "If that's a joke, it's not funny."It was not a joke. I could see him tensing up from the corner of my eye, but I changed the subject anyway. "Take me around."A tense Clarence pushed me to the market. A festivity was probably going on, and things were bustling. It had been years since I got around, and everything felt new to me.Suddenly, Clarence said, "I ran into you the first time at a market as well."That was odd. The first time we met was supposed to be at a bar. Wait, the manor, perhaps?Clarence smiled shyly. "I used to run a stall with Yvonne when I was eight. I needed the money. Your carriage passed by, and you pulled the curtains back. You looked at us and told the butler to bu

  • A Love 32 Years Apart   Chapter 13 Reunion

    "I'm touched by your concern, madam. My father's legs aren't what they used to be, but he's still as lively as ever.""I want to see him." I gave him Yvonne's medical records. "Is this the same condition as Clarence's?"The doctor took the records with stark confusion on his face as he inquired, "Clarence? Who do you mean, madam?"I frowned. "My husband… ex-husband." He must be getting senile if he had forgotten about Clarence.The doctor blurted in astonishment, "But when did you get married?"I was so stunned that I snapped, "What?"The doctor answered, "I've watched over you since you were a young girl. I had no idea you got married. Who's the lucky man?"I fell silent for a long while. Memories flooded my mind. I remembered how I was born; I was held by the doctor before me, cooing. He wasn't as old as he was. The terrible parents I had were replaced by a loving couple.I remembered my life, from childhood to my prime and to my twilight years. I tried to search for him, but

    I didn't want him to be late for his date. After he was gone, I lay on my bed. Even through the window, I could hear him laughing and running through the field. I thought Clarence would go for economics and business administration, but he chose oil painting instead.Clarence had an astonishing talent for art, and everything he drew seemed alive. I praised him for his success. He would grin whenever I did. "I used to draw on the ground with charcoal pencils. Can I draw a portrait of you, madam?"I agreed. When he was done, the butler and I admired it. The butler praised Clarence's perfect skills, while I was a little confused. It almost felt like a hundred filters were used for the painting. I certainly did not look that young.The younger maids giggled and huddled around Clarence, asking for a portrait as well. Clarence hung his head low and said nothing, but he would steal glances at me.That night, I was walking in the garden when I noticed Clarence was following me. "Do you not

    "I'm alright." I touched the flowers he plucked. The wrinkles on the back of my hand were a stark contrast to the vibrance of the flowers.Clarence extended his hand to stop me, but he quickly pulled back and hung his head low when he touched my hand. Then, he murmured quietly, "There's mud on the branch. I'll cut it off."I pulled my hand back and watched Clarence trim the branches before putting the lively flower in an old vase.It had been some time ever since Clarence returned to his post. He had grown taller. Plus, he had started putting on some muscles due to the manual labor he had been tasked with. He was slowly becoming the man I remembered.Naturally, he was also the most popular guy in the manor. The maids would talk about him whenever they had free time. There was bashfulness and love in their discussions. When Valentine's Day swung by, an amused butler told me that Clarence's door had been practically knocked down by their sheer enthusiasm.Literally and metaphoricall

    That would explain how he managed to sneak all the things he stole out so quietly. Alas, he underestimated the influence the Antonios had on Ashington. I would be able to find him as long as he was still in this city.We eventually arrived at his abode. The butler looked at the long, claustrophobic corridor and frowned. "Should I take you in my arms, madam?"My heels squelched as they got stuck in the grime. "No." When my men and I broke into their home, the thief was lying on the bottom bunk, one leg atop the other. He was fiddling with the pendant. A dim light shone through the pendant, reflecting the panic in his eyes.The bodyguards charged ahead and tied him up. "Hey, let me go!"The butler took back the pendant and handed it to me. I wiped it clean. "Where are the other stolen items?"The rickety bed creaked, and a bald child stuck her head out of the top bunk. Then, she said weakly, "Clarence…"She resembled the thief, but her cheeks were sunken. To make matters worse, she
