(A/N Just as a heads up for this chapter... I hate Debby Tang and the characters that represent her. I wish to dance upon the ashes of shit villains, BUT, In this chapter I want to show the other-side of the coin of killing people, and the consequences of it, Enjoy.)
Chapter 92 Song of Sadness and Sorrow! by Harem-Fan
My wives had a great day out with Victoria, and I drove Tina home afterwards.
Sunday was thankfully uneventful and I was not able to go to race-night with my shoulder healing. Nights where I can't go are the times I want to race, go figure.
I had heard from James that he is doing well now, and will need to use crutches for a bit while he heals.
Mei asked me for my shopping-list of supplies like another bulletproof vest and a new long-coat, so she was gone all Sunday and came back late at night taking a much needed day off. I sometimes feel bad that she is always working.
My harem rotation for sleeping is in progress, but for Saturday it's Mary's bed. On Sundays due to race-night it's Hana's bed. Monday is in Nadia's bed, then finally on Tuesday is Nichole's bed. That is the fixed days, while the other-days are currently up in the air and can be group sleep without sex in my room.
When you can have sex all the time, it becomes less important than just spending quality time together... But Nadia will just give you the middle-finger if you tell her that.
Mary's master-bedroom is further down in the parallel wing to me on the edge of the home, and Hana took the one above hers on the second floor. The twins took the second and third level rooms above my room so all of us have westerly sunset views. Nadia is 2nd floor while Nichole is 3rd floor.
The right side of the home is where our indoor gym and indoor pool are found. Due to the size of our home, we have only a small rear back area compared to other homes in this community, but it's still a huge patio area for parties.
-
Now it is Monday morning and at the head of our breakfast table, Hana is sitting on my left since Mary is at work. Nichole is on my right and then sat Nadia, who is pouting for sitting further away.
Hana asked me.
"Honey, we were talking yesterday, and we thought after the Engagement Party, it would be fine for Linda to live here, what do you think?"
I put my knife and fork down and say to my wives.
"Personally I love the idea, but I don't know what the Lang will think, and I don't know what you girls want to do. And if she did, what would happen with Mercy Mu?"
Nichole smiles and tells me what I need to know.
"Husband, do not worry, sister Hana is asking because we have already settled most of it. We picked our nights with you because we are here first, fufu. Then we asked about her maid. Mercy Mu will follow Linda and move into our home and become our family maid. We will pay her instead of the Lang. She also said she wants to keep serving Linda. As for Linda, she is one of us."
"So I need to ask George Lang about her moving in then?"
Nadia smiled and told me.
"Do not ask her mother, she would say no, so just ask her father and it overrides the wife. He would rather have trouble from his harem than go back on his own words. Turtles are stubborn, Ufufu."
"Sure will do."
Zoe Hong, the middle-aged bodyguard and maid from our Tang family came into the room. She is not only the perfect maid but is at the beginning of Master Level Kung-Fu. She is in her mid 40's.
Her maid uniform is full length, and her hair is black and in a long braid. Finally she is complete with glasses. She reminded me of that psycho maid from the anime Black Lagoon from my first Earth.
"Mr and Mrs Tang's, I have pulled the limo up when you are ready for me to drive you to school."
Nichole, happy with this woman said.
"Thank you Miss Zoe, we will be right out."
She bows and leaves.
Yes, Mei does not have to drive the limo all the time now and can ride up front or in the back with me.
Zoe tends to stay near the twins mostly, but she protects all my wives as Tang women. Plus both Zoe and Mei know each-other already so there is a level of understanding. But Zoe does not know Mei is a combatant.
Hana kissed me and was off today and planned on watching a soap marathon.
-
At university, Mei stepped out to hold the door for the three of us to exit and I watched my twins go off to their first law class. Then Mei said to me.
"With Zoe doing the main limo trips now, I will bring my Honda Civic to keep here at school, for your and my use when the limo is not available or in an emergency. So see you later, Master~!"
"Thanks again Mei, bye!"
-
Coming into business class I see some things more out of the norm...
Ashley is sitting next to James with him having a pair of crutches to help him not use his shot leg. A few students with gossip hearts gathered around to talk to James.
Tina looks really smug with Cat Woo's gloomy look.
And Linda was waiting for me, like a doll abandoned.
Seems all my lady friends all wore white or off-white clothing to match mine. Okay, they definitely did this on purpose.
The only thing really out of place is the absence of Scott. he is normally here even after our confrontation.
Linda stood up and walked with me to get the attendance form and she spoke to me about the living arrangements.
"Good-morning Rick. Did the ladies talk to you?"
"Yes, and I would love for you to join us, and bringing Mercy with you is great as well. I still need to ask your father, right?"
Linda whispered in my ear.
"Rick, ask my father first and do not ask my mother. But even if they said no, I will move in no matter what. I have already listed my home for sale, and am moving Saturday night no matter what."
As we went back, I saw in her eyes a look of she would move in even if I said not to!
"Before Saturday, pick a room you like and find one for Mercy by Mei and Zoe's rooms."
"Then I will listen to you, Rick."
When she says it like that, I get this warm feeling, like a woman that would trust me even if I said it was night time right now.
Ring Ring Ring! I look at my phone because class still has a while till it starts. I saw my cousin Helen, so I showed Linda and walked into the hall.
-
"Hey what is up, cousin?"
[Sniff, Rick, I am not in school today. My mother had an accident last night and did not make it. Sniff.]
I was speechless! The bitch who sicced her son on me is dead?! But I ignore that and focus on Helen.
"Where are you Helen, I will come to you?!"
[I am at home, thanks Rick, I could use your company right now, sniff.]
"I will tell Teacher Long and take a cab. Are you at the main house or yours?"
[Fathers house.]
"Alright, I am on my way."
So I tell Tina, Linda, my friends, and Victoria about my family emergency and leave the University in a cab.
On my way there I let the Harem-Chat know, and called Mei to get me later.
-
A half-hour later and I had arrived. The gate guards drove me to the main home and my new step-aunt Kim Tan greeted me at the door. She is the 2nd wife of my uncle and a beautiful woman in her mid 40's with long black-hair and gold-eyes. Kim is like my wife Mary in personality and very warm, the opposite of Debby.
"It is good to see you again Rick. I am happy you came to be with Helen right now, my husband is not very good with emotional support like this, fufu. Come with me, I will take you to them."
"Thanks aunt Kim, it is no problem for me to be here."
Then Kim leads me to the informal living room...
-
When the two of us came in, there was a large fire roaring in the distance due to the temperatures cooling because of fall coming strong.
On one couch sat Anthony drinking some juice, while talking on the phone. And the adjacent couch was Helen holding a pillow looking a bit sad, so I nodded to my uncle and sat to Helen's right. Kim then sat to Anthony's left.
"Sorry I am late Helen, but now I am here."
Her knees are up still holding the pillow, and she leaned into me, and I held her shoulder as she watched the fire. Yeah, I know the feeling. I hate Debby and am glad she is dead, but I don't like my cousin being sad, so I will just be here for her. Debby was trash, but she was her mother.
My uncle hung up the phone and said to me.
"Sorry you had to drop everything, but I appreciate it."
"No, I ace the classes and only go to show I go, and my teachers all understand. I am happy to support you guys. May I ask what actually happened?"
I just pat Helen's shoulder while my uncle tells me.
"Well since she left, she had been heavily drinking due to her troubles and anger. She had fallen in the bathroom and hit her head on the toilet. She had no maids so no one was around to help her from her fall. And the police said it was ruled as an accident. She had finished two bottles of wine that night and probably lost her balance going to use the toilet."
My first thought was why did Scott not help her, so I inquired.
"If there were no servants, where was Scott? I thought they lived in the same house?"
"Well, that's the thing... Scott's wives left him and moved back to the White State with their families, and he was brought out to party with his cousin Hope Song. So he was the one that found her at 5 am, already dead. Seems she had tried yelling for help but no one was around. So it was a freak accident of bad luck that no one was home to hear her calls for help."
I was speechless for a bit, and I asked.
"So now what will happen?"
Anthony held his wife's hand then told me.
"My and Debby's divorce was not final, so I will give her a Tang burial. I owe her that much. And then Helen will receive her mothers things."
While we chatted about other small things, a maid brought me a coffee and I just spent the morning with Helen and she just mourned.
-
In the afternoon, Mei came to the main home to wait for me till I was done here. She just sat to the side like the other maids.
Helen finally told me she was going to be fine and go to sleep for a while. I just told her to call if she needed anything.
So Mei and I left.
-
Mei, seeing me distracted asked.
"Are you thinking of your father?"
"Yeah, but I am not depressed. I just felt sad for Helen."
Mei, seeing my face, asked.
"Are you upset she died?"
I smile at her concern for me and tell my maid.
"Debby, the woman who ruined my life? Hell no, I would dance on her grave if it would not upset others. Good riddance. I just don't like seeing my family sad is all, including you by the way."
Mei did not give me a cheeky comeback but genuinely smiled for my care, so I asked.
"No snarky comment about my caring?"
She patted my arm gently and said to me.
"Not for today my Master~! This maid will accept it. But tomorrow I will lecture you if you say it. Now what do you want to do for lunch?"
"Well, since I won't get lectured today, let's go to that roadside market you like for noodles."
Mei shifted the car into a faster speed and smiled, then she said.
"Yes Master~!"
-
A few days later in the southernmost part of Star City, in the noble's cemetery, It was a cold and rainy Thursday afternoon.
This very open and large cemetery has been here since the start of the City about 500 years ago. All four major clans bury their family here.
I am next to Helen and my Uncle with a tarp over the site to keep the rain off of us all.
Scott is with his Song family on the other-side of the grave as both Tang and Song came to say their farewells. Most of the people here are secretly happy but show loss. She was not a liked woman, and I was not the only victim of her hatred. There are dozens of Rick Lee's here happy for this very moment.
Anthony had just said a few nice words to say goodbye to his wife. There were some happy days in their messy dumpster-fire of a marriage, so as the Head of Tang he only focused on those memories.
Then it was time for her brother, the head of the local Song to speak, so he put tears on for everyone, but a child could see he was forcing it.
Soon it was Helen's turn to say something, so she left to speak. The only person I listened to really was her.
The next to say something was Scott. He just looked numb. His only words were...
"My mother was too good for this world. I will be the man she always wanted me to be. I love you mother."
He looked at me like I took everything... I can't blame him for that. But I did warn him...
After those words, the earth was filled onto her grave.
Soon it was time for goodbyes. This world does not throw parties for the dead, we bury our loved ones and hang a picture to remember them. We visit the graves once a year to remind us of the past, then we live.
Sometimes in these moments I compare the two Earths. I do like some things from my past world, but I love this one more. It is far less complicated.
Kim and I stand behind Anthony and Helen, because we do not have direct relations to Debby, so all the condolences go to them.
Some Tang members happily shake my hand and introduce themselves to me. This is common for clansmen to try and make a good impression on main clan members. I openly greet anyone willing to show kindness to me even if it is fake.
I had my wives stay home due to bad weather and pregnancy as an excuse, so only Mei and I came.
At this time the Song's came over to greet. Dan and Angel Song came to see Anthony, while Hope Song came to see Helen. Hope hugged her and said.
"Cousin Helen, I am so sorry. Please forgive me for not being there for your mother that night."
Helen is no fool and knows what kind of woman Hope is, but as the next head of Tang, she must be kind to everyone under the clan. She hugged her and said.
"Don't be a silly cousin Hope, you are not able to know everything. You can't be responsible for everyone, and thanks for your condolences."
Hope's eyes landed on me and remembered our last run in, before I was made a main branch member of the Tang and how she called me a bastard... Awkward.
I could tell she was calculating, balancing saving face and sucking up, so she decided and acted. No mind you, if her shit personality was removed, this woman would be one you absolutely wanted to bring into your harem... Well if you like misery.
Hope warmly smiled and said to me.
"Rick, I am so terribly sorry about our first meeting. I had been drinking heavily that night and was not aware of your situation. Please forgive me for this one slip up? I will never be so rude to you, please?"
She is really putting on the sweet innocent oops-act, so I use my Acting Basic and smile like I forgive her.
"I was also at fault. I had a bad past with Scott, and I wrongly blamed you, so I forgive you if you forgive me."
Hope surprised her acting tricked me genuinely smiled and opened her arms for a hug to distract me with her well, assets. This is what her tramp mother taught her to do.
So she hugged me like a stripper looking for a tip. Helen seeing this almost forgot her sadness seeing me get taken advantage of. And Mei behind me was looking speechless as well, because for some reason she was feeling betrayed and jealous.
Her chest warmed me up and she whispered in my ear.
"I hope we can be close friends, Rick, fufu. Thanks, you're so nice."
Her insincerity smelled a mile away, but I pretend to be thankful. She let me go to not push her luck and then joined her parents.
Mei got close as she was going to ask the question that Helen beat her too.
"Rick, um, She is my cousin, but she is not a nice woman. I think you should not get charmed by her."
Mei smiled, liking Helen more for giving good advice, then she froze hearing my words.
"Helen, I know. But there is a famous saying... Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer!"
Helen, a smart and read woman never heard that and asked.
"Rick, that sounds amazing, but I have never heard anyone ever say that?"
Mei smiled when she saw my face have its gaff due to the fact it was from my old Earth and this one never had it, oops, then I say.
"I mean, I will make it famous and everyone will use it. It is so simple and funny. But I will make her think I am a sucker so she will be less hostile. The Song does serve the Tang, right? We will catch more flies with honey than vinegar."
"Ufufu, You say the funniest things, Rick. Thanks you have cheered me up already, let's go home now."
-
I finished my family duties and Mei is driving me home in the sports-car. She looked at me and said seriously.
"Rick... If you ever sleep with that Hope Slut, I will be pissed at you, alright?"
This is the first time I have seen Mei be upset with me and I tell her.
"Yeah, I promise you Mei, I will never fall for her or sleep with her."
She smiled and then said. If this story is on any-other site than Scribble Hub, then it was stolen without permission!
"Good boy, Rick. Just remember, if you're feeling an urge and you really need to make love, you have me, so no sluts."
I just look out the window and do not reply to her words.
Why would she say that?! I think and tell her.
"Mei, I am not like that. I won't sleep with a woman just to release an urge. I think sex is special. That's why I stayed a virgin so long. If my feelings are not in it I won't do it."
Mei smiled at my words she knew I would say and she corrected me.
"You're not Scott, Rick! I told you that because I know you will not do that to me. What I am saying is... In the future, if you have the urge to make love to me, I am telling you it is fine with me. I will not tell you again. So ignore this maid if I cross the line, my Master~!"
I calm my heart and think about her words...
No she is not telling me to have sex with her, she is telling me she trusts me enough to offer herself to me. If she wanted sex... Could I resist her? I understand she is just showing me trust, so I said.
"Mei, I understand what you are trying to convey, and I trust you as well. Thank you."
Mei then turned up the rock music with a smile, like maybe I said the right thing. We did not talk about it after that.
