Seed of Possession

Giselle is walking at the east side of the mansion, She feels the glare of the servants at her and she notices that some of them are familiar. A naughty smile formed into her lips when she realized that familiar servants are the ones in the kitchen who she gives a lesson.

She just chuckles as she continues her walking. Giselle decided to walk inside the mansion as she searched for a clue or evidence for her assumptions about the Grandmother of Xander. Because his Grandmother is really looks like the portrait. She knows that it has a connection from the night she escaped from her Father’s hand. Giselle can’t understand why she is so invested and curious to know who the woman in the painting is that her father is always holding. Maybe, because she thinks about the possibility that the family of her beloved contract husband has a connection to her father. If that is real, She really put herself into a trap.

She went inside a room without notifying the servants of the mansion. She just does what she wants, As if she is the headmistress of the mansion. All of the servants are just watching her silently. After hearing what happened to others after the dinner. They started to keep their distance from Giselle, Because they knew they couldn’t fight her.

Giselle closes the door of the room to avoid the gazes of the servants. She immediately touched her already big round belly as she left a deep sigh. Giselle is already in her 2nd trimester and nowadays she easily panting while walking or doing small activities.

” I should see her tomorrow” She mumbled as she started to walk around the room. This is the 6th room that Giselle enters for the day. Yesterday she entered 4 rooms in the mansion but she still didn’t find what she was searching for.

” Should I stop searching around the mansion and just go to the room of the headmaster of this house?” Giselle asks herself while looking at the vases inside the room.

” Or should I just ask her directly? ” She asks to herself but Giselle immediately laughs-off that idea because no one will answer that quickly.

” He dearly loves her wife. He will surely do things to preserve the memory of his beloved spouse,” Giselle said as she looked at the painting that was located at the center of the room. Giselle stared at the painting for a long time as if she was captivated by its charm and beauty. But the portrait in the center of the mansion is just a wilted flower floating in the water and the background of the painting was dark and gloomy.

” This looks familiar” She mumbled as she took a step closer towards the painting. Giselle feels like she saw a painting like this before. She can’t remember when and where? But she is sure that she already saw it.

At a party?

In a club?

Or in one of the mansions that she went to before?

Giselle never went to a Gallery or museum; she only saw art in the mansion of people she visited before.

” How amusing, I can’t remember but I can feel that I saw this before. I feel familiarity in this painting” she murmured out of amusement.

” I know that I’ve seen it before? But where?” She slowly raises her hand as she goes to touch the painting. Giselle feels like she is hypnotized by the painting and she feels like it is sucking her soul to go inside of this piece of art.

When she finally touches the painting, memories from the past immediately rush to her head. She knew it. She saw this painting before at her fathers’ mansion.

She saw it before the day she escaped that mansion. It was a usual day in the mansion with her siblings falling in line while waiting for their father to come. Giselle was just 8 years old at that time. She was patiently waiting in line in front of the painting that looked exactly in front of her. She was so dazed by the painting that she didn’t notice her father stop in front of her. And because  of her lack of attention she receives a hard slap from her father that makes her fall to the ground. She remembers the cold atmosphere and the gazes she received that day. Her throat suddenly began to dry as the memories continued to flood in her mind.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

When she fell down a strong hand grabbed her hands and harshly pulled her up and dragged her in a dark room. A punishment room for the disobedient children. It was her own brother who is 10 years older than her who did the punishment. She remembered that she automatically took off her clothes and lay on the bed. And then her brother will follow her and will get the red piece of cloth and it will be used to cover her eyes. Her brother didn’t intercourse with her but her brother touched her body maliciously. At that time she thought that it was a normal punishment but it was not. It’s an assault that shouldn’t happen between family members. Even though nothing happened between them, he still touched her.  And she knew that it’s also happened to her other siblings. At the age of 8 she thought that punishment was about  putting other fingers inside of the person and thrust it faster inside that person while licking the body of the person as a form of punishment. And if the mistake you made is severe. You will suck the d*ck of the punisher as a punishment and you will stay in the dark room for an hour. That is the kind of family that Giselle desperately wants to escape. And that is the reason why Giselle will always choose her mother if she needs to pick among her parents.

” Disgusting piece of sh*t!” She murmured as her eyes turned to hatred while looking at the painting that she was mesmerized earlier.

She now knows why she is mesmerized by this painting. Because like the flowers in the painting she is already dead. Floating in a never ending stream surrounded by darkness. The painting is a representation of who she is.

Giselle quickly turned her back as she took a deep breath to calm herself. She reminded herself that it’s all in the past and it will always be in the past. After calming herself Giselle started to walk again around the room. Now that she is seeing the painting her assumption about the late Headmistress of the house must be true. She needs to know more about that woman. To save herself in advance. Giselle unconsciously touches her stomach as she feels a sudden fear. She sweat coldly and she feels different. Following her instinct, Giselle looked down at her feet and she saw drops of blood.

” What the f*ck!”
