.....End of chapter series..............................
[My method of writing in these few first chapters just sucks like a leech. I have my reasons ; I had taken too much time away from Abberly and I realllyyyy want to get back-but I still need to finish this part too :( bear with me.... More detailed chapters, I promise.]
Immediately after cleaning the servants' room, Olive went to take a cold bath to give herself some strength for the plan that was busy hatching itself in her head.
It took her alot to not stop bathing and start pacing back and forth to concentrate but nevertheless, the plan became stone carved in her mind by the time she put on her servant attire of the custom black and white.
For once, there was determination in those eyes of hers that always seemed to please anyone by just looking at them.
She was literally frowning her brows to the floor as she tied the black ribbon on her back.
He had taken away her womanhood and she was going to payback with every fiber of her being.
Stubbornly, She finished dressing and was about to stretch her hand to open the door when suddenly, all her fierceness dispersed from her body like air. She didn't have confidence and she was very scared of the outcome.
She planned that she would resign and tell Lady Emilia what her son had done to her and thereby get her justice at least.
Finally she went out the door. There was Noone on the way to the living room till the dining where she found the head maid casually wiping the dining table top.
"Ma'am, I am very sorry for intruding but, Please, there is something I would need Lady Mrs Emilia to know - very sorry ma'am" Olive said slightly bowing her head and body while looking down.
The head maid looked at her up and down and dumped the napkin she was with on the table. Not saying a word, she went to the upper floor of the house.
Olive waited for a bit and surprisingly all the Craigs came out at once.
Her legs that she had managed to keep steady started to wobble again. The moment her eyes met Rowan's, her heart skipped in fear.
But he just gave an indifferent expression and slumped on the couch at the left.
That just ruined it for Olive.
All seated, "Why did you plead for me?" Emilia asked.
Gulping, Olive answered, "Ma-Madam Mrs Emilia... I..I need to say something important ma'am, I am sorry for disturbing you Ma"
She quivered and fell to the ground on her kneels. She looked up at Emilia, Harlow and Jett that was on the longest couch facing her directly before turning her head to the left for a brief moment.
Unexpectedly, tears clouded her eyes, "Ma'am, Your son, the fourth master -sniff - he had his way with me and -and I-sniff-"
"I wish to resign... sob... But your son had raped me-"
"And what should I do about it?" A cold voice said from before her. Olive looked up at Emilia with tears on her face in disbelief.
Emilia flung her hands in the air and onto her lap "Goodness, of all things? Of all?" She turned her head to Rowan before looking back at Olive.
"So now, you want to handle things the legal way huh?" She asked.
Matt and Jett stood up. "Mom, am out, if this is the case-I mean, it's Rowan" Matt said with a light shrug and walked out of the house with his father.
"You will not contact any lawyer or police dept, or else, I will make sure to bring a gift for you.... A gift that would be worthwhile, my dear" Now, it seemed as Emilia had turned into a monster. Literal monster and this shocked Olive so much. "Ma'am -"
"Shut it. You will either abort or carry the pregnancy ;that's if there is one and afterwards, Rowan will give you support of A thousand dollars or your father's head would suffice, now wouldn't it, my dear? "
Olive paled out. That was the gift? Olive put a hand over her mouth and gasped.
" Please.... Please, I'm am.. very sorry I.. I.. "She tried to beg.
" Let's make it a two thousand right? "Rowan who had been quiet all this while spoke up and had a small smile on his face that if anything, made him look uglier.
Olive turned to him now ;still on her knees, she thought_
What would have happened in the larger mansions if she worked in them instead?
