Seed of Possession

The sky is in the color of royals, A sign that the dark will consume the skies. The servants are busy running across the mansion. Because at the last minute. The headmaster announced that her two daughters are coming to the mansion to stay for 2 days. They are busy putting a lantern on the driveway and to the trees to make the mansion shine brightly in the night. Because It’s known that the two sisters like to have a bright pathway in the mansion even if it’s night. The chef miraculously prepared for the night’s dinner, As if someone told him in advance about the night.

” Thank god that we are not in a rush because we cleaned the whole mansion earlier,” One of the servants said as she drank her cold glass of water.

” Yes, It’s good that we used to clean the whole mansion everyday because of Ms. Chantal because she always had visitors in the mansion” One of the male servants said as he stretched his arms.

” Well, That is our future Headmistress. She is our angel who saved us in this situation. Even if she doesn’t know.”

” Yes, We are prepared because of her! Our job has become lessened because of her! Knowing the two daughters of Headmasters. We clearly should be thankful”

” We should help them to be the winner of the battle of succession, After all. They are the only one who always think about our situation and treated as good””

The whole room immediately filled up with whispers of servants. Agreeing on what the other said about the family of Lorenzo.

” I want them to be our Masters in the future, I’m sure we will be fortunate if they will be the one who will manage the family.”

All of the servants inside the room as they look at each other as they are determined to create a plan to help Chantal and the family.

The spy servants that Xander sends to the mansion are on the outside of the room. The spy listened carefully as he gathered all the plans from the servants who wanted to do bad things to Xander and Giselle. After gathering enough information. He quickly vanished from the dark as he quickly went to the back of the mansion to inform the other spy about the plan of the other servants. The information was passed one by another until it finally reached Rolando who was inside his room.

As soon as Rolando heard the report, He quickly walked out from the room as he went to the room of Xander. He walks straight inside, He knows that Xander and Giselle are outside the mansion as they make a move to the eldest daughter of the Headmaster.

Before Xander leaves the mansion, He left an instruction to him if something unexpected will come to them.

Rolando walked towards the vanity dresser as he put his hand under the vanity dresser after that the dresser quickly fell in two and a huge flat computer screen showed in front of him. Rolando puts his left thumb mark on the screen and the system immediately confirms the identity of Rolando. And then the screen folded into two and a small metal ball appeared in front of him. Rolando reaches the metal ball and then the face of Xander quickly appears in front of him in 3D.

” What is it?” Xander automatically asks Rolando.

Rolando slightly bowed his head before he answered Xander. ” Don’t eat the food that the servants will serve and don’t entrust the car to anyone and don’t let any servants go inside your room. They have a plan to destroy your reputation. They even set a plan that will look like that you rape one of the servants to make Madam Giselle divorce you” Rolando report to Xander.

” What a pity, The plan is so average.” Xander said as a smirk formed into his lips.

” Make a counter issue towards their plan and make sure that all their schemes will backfire on them. ” Xander ordered Rolando before he ended the call. After the call the device immediately turned into ash and Rolando quickly put the ash inside the pocket of his black coat.

” He really needs to make a more ally inside this mansion, Spy is not enough.” Rolando murmured as he left a deep sigh and went outside the room. As soon as he got out of the room a young servant appeared in front of him.

Rolando squinted his eyes as he glanced at the young servant. She is checking if Giselle and Xander are still not coming back.

” What are you doing here?” Xander asks in a cold tone of voice.

The young servant shivered as she trembled tremendously in front of him out of nervousness.

” A-a-hmmm…. I’m just shaking if Ma’am Giselle is inside the room, She asks me to clean her walking closet” The young servant said. She is just only looking down the floor as she tries to hide her nervousness in front of the personal butler of Xander.

Rolando looked at the maid intently as she scanned her whole body. A shining light caught his eyes when he looked at the pocket of the young servant.

” You’re one of the scholars of Madam Chantal” Rolando said as he got the key of the room from his pocket and locked the room of his Master’s bedroom.

The young servant was just startled by what Rolando did. The young servant planned to sneak inside the room and planted the most valuable jewelry of Chantal in Giselle’s jewelry box and accused her of stealing her Master jewelry. This is the perfect chance to do it but she didn’t expect that Rolando would be here.

She is dripping in cold sweat because she will be in trouble if she doesn’t do it. Her mother ordered her to do this as a payment for Chantal good deeds towards their family. And they must repay her for all the things they did to them.

The young servants took a deep breath as she gathered courage to speak with Rolando. ” Sorry Mr. Rolando but I need to get inside the room to fix Madam. Giselle walking closet. I’m afraid she will be mad at both of us if she learned I didn’t do the task that she asked of me ” The young servants said that it would make Rolando turn his back and look at the servant once again.

Rolando took a step as he expertly got the jewelry from the servant’s pocket. It’s a miniature jewelry box that is made with gold and designed by ruby. It contains Chantal earrings and an engagement ring from Lorenzo.

” I let you clean the walk-in closet but this thing will stay in my hand. The young servant’s eyes widened when she realized the jewelry was in Rolando’s hand. Her body trembles out of fear and nervousness. She is sweating cold as she doesn’t know what to say in her situation.

” How did you get this? Is your Master giving this to you? This is so valuable for servants like you and I doubt Madam. Chantal will just give this to you” Rolando added as he walked closer to the servants as he held the servants chin and tilted up to make her look him in the eyes.

” Are you secretly stealing your Masters valuable item? A scholar like you? Really? ” Rolando said as he let go of the young servant’s chin.

” We will talk about this letter” Roalndo coldly said before he left the young servant in the hallway.

” There are so many enemy allies in this mansion” Rolando muttered as he walked faster back to his room.

CHANTAL IS IN the room of her daughter Flora she is comforting her on what happened earlier. She learned that the hairbow that she gave to her was lent to Maxine and she heard from the maids that Lorenzo is the one who ordered to lend the hairbow to Maxine. And that is only the things she learned from what happened. But looking now to her daughter she knows that there is more to what happened earlier.

” Flora, Tell me what happened? Why are you still crying? Are you still mad at your father and sister?” Chantal gently asks her daughter while patting her head.

” Don’t worry Flora, I will give you a more beautiful hair bow than the other one” Chantal said to her. But Flora is still crying. She really doesn’t like what happened to her earlier. That is the first time that her father pushed her on the floor.

” I hate them,” Flora said while crying. Chantal felt sad about what her daughter said. She knows that Lorenzo favored Maxine among their children. He always put her first and always top on his priorities in terms of parenting. She thought that it’s normal because her father also treated them like that. The eldest always got the most love from their father. But looking at the situation right now, She feels that she is wrong for not talking again to Lorenzo about his unfair treatment of their children.

Even though she talks to Lorenzo about the way he acts and the effects on the children. It’s still not enough, He still can’t fix his habit. She doesn’t want Flora to end up like her sister Maurine. The rebel child of the family.

” Flora that is bad, You should not say bad things towards your father and sister” Chantal said as she tried to face Flora.

” Father is bad, He wants all the things I have was given to Sister Maxine. Everything that she asks Father immediately gives it to her. He doesn’t even love me” Flora said while sobbing. Chantal closed her eyes as she left a long deep sigh.

” I will talk to your father about that Flora, Then now, don’t be mad at your father and sister. Don’t plant any grudge in your heart because it will eat you alive” Chantal said that makes Flora look at her mother with fear because of what she said.

” Grudge? What a grudge?” Flora asked out of fear that makes Chantal feel successful to get her daughter’s attention.

” Why will it be planted in my heart and eat me alive?” Flora innocently asks that makes Chantal smile gently as she pulls her daughter and hugged her.

” It’s because kids that get mad towards their parents will be blessed with a cursed seed and it calls the grudge. And when you are angry towards your family it will grow bigger inside your body until it grows bigger and then it will eat you alive” Chantal said in a sweet calming voice that still gives fear to Flora.

” I don’t want that to happen to me,” Flora mumbled as she hugged her Mother tightly.

” I will not be mad anymore,” Flora muttered. Chantal just look at her daughter who is holding her tightly.

” Good girl, Make Sure to always be a good girl Flora. We are family, We should stand at each other’s side.”

**********

The head of the family is busy preparing for the arrival of her two daughters. It was a sudden visit that made him happy. Because his two daughters will be staying at the mansion for nights. Juveline and Davina are the only left amongst his children. His two Sons suddenly passed away, which makes him a bit sad. Because children should be the one who will bury their parents, not the other way around.

” Raulo the status?” Perol asks his headbutler while putting on his long robe.

” The preparations are done and they will arrive 15 minutes from now” Raulo reported to his master as he gently bowed his head.

” How about Lorenzo and Xander? ”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

” Master Lorenzo is in the painting room and his family are busy preparing themselves. While, Master Xander and his wife are outside the mansion. It said that they go on a date without knowing that the two Headmaster’s daughters are coming.”

Perol nodded his head on what Raulo said it looks like Lorenzo knew the arrival of his two daughters. A smile formed into his lips because he was thinking that Lorenzo is really eager to win the battle of succession just like his Father, His son Raul. But his smile vanishes when he thinks of Xander. In his mind, Xander has a lot of potential to be the next head because of his achievements and the name he wrote in the tech industry. But he does not have enough connection and information in the family to make him stable in the family. He can’t be the head of the family if he doesn’t know how to handle the family from main to branches.

But if Xander is qualified and Lorenzo gets the support of the family. It will be a huge problem in the family.

” I hope Lorenzo wins the battle of succession, To make this family peaceful because Xander doesn’t have a plan to make his reputation in the family stable.” Perol muttered as he looked at the robe that her wife creates while she was still alive.

” Having allies within the family is important to be not eaten alive””
