The Master's Young Wife
Chapter 1
In the Borealis Household
The place was busy with servants preparing for the guests that were arriving in three hours. On the second floor, The first lady of the house was yelling at the second lady which was heard through the hallway.
Cecilia Borealis(FL's Sister)
CAN'T YOU WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING, YOU LITTLE BITCH?!
The first lady, Cecilia Borealis, yelled at the top of her lungs and glaring at her younger sister, the second lady, for ruining her dress.
Aurora Borealis(FL)
you were.. the one.. who bumped.. into.. me..
Cecilia Borealis(FL's Sister)
I don't care. Now look what you did, you ruined my dress with your stupid warm milk. *Rolls her eyes and smirks mockly* You're 20, little sis. You shouldn't be drinking milk anymore.
Aurora Borealis(FL)
..... *looks down slightly*
Cecilia Borealis(FL's Sister)
Hahaha. No man would marry a childish women like you, little sister.
Aurora Borealis(FL)
B-But.. I love.. milk...
Cecilia Borealis(FL's Sister)
pff- So? You should stop it. It makes you look like a child. *Turned around and walks away*
Three hours went by and soon the guests came, the head Butler greeted them and led them to the living room.
Edward Blythe(Head Butler of Borealis)
You can rest here, Sirs and Madams. *Bows slightly* The Master and Madam will join you soon.
The guests sat down on the couch while Edward left to do his duties. However one of the guests was not sitting down, instead the guest was standing while leaning against the wall with their arms crossed.
Shadow
Brother, will you please sit down?
Shadow
Seriously? Are you just gonna stand there, the whole time?
Just as the lady was about to answer, the Master and Madam of the Borealis Household walked in, with their first daughter.
Xavier Borealis(FL's Father)
Master Moreau, please forgive us for making you wait. *bows slightly as a greeting, extending his hand*
Alexandre Moreau(ML's Father)
No harm done, old friend. I believe I have said not to call me master? *Stands up and shakes hands with Xavier* I'm no longer the Master. My eldest son has taken over.
Xavier Borealis(FL's Father)
Ah yes, of course. *Chuckles and sits down*
Amethyst Borealis(FL's Mother)
*Sits down next to Xavier and smiles* It's good to see you two again. My, your children have grown to be handsome and beautiful.
Alexandre Moreau(ML's Father)
*Chuckles* Indeed, this is my second son, Alessandro and my daughter, Coralie.
Alessandro Moreau(ML's Brother)
Hello.
Coralie Moreau(ML's Sister)
Hello.
Amethyst Borealis(FL's Mother)
Hello, my dears.
Amethyst Borealis(FL's Mother)
This is my first daughter, Cecilia. *Gestures to her daughter who was standing behind the couch*
Cecilia Borealis(FL's Sister)
Hello. *Smiles kindly and bows as a greeting*
Roselle Moreau(ML's Mother)
My. Such a beautiful lady. *Smiles while looking at Cecilia*
Cecilia Borealis(FL's Sister)
Thank you, Madam Moreau. *Blushes slightly and glances at the man who was leaning against the wall*
Shadow
*Had his eyes closed while still crossing his arms*
Cecilia Borealis(FL's Sister)
Roselle Moreau(ML's Mother)
*Noticed her dazed expression and glances over her shoulder* Ah, that is Alexander, my first son.
Cecilia Borealis(FL's Sister)
*Snaps out of her daze and shakes her head slightly while blushing* O-Oh...
Amethyst Borealis(FL's Mother)
*Chuckles softy and glanced at her husband*
Xavier Borealis(FL's Father)
*Nods slowly while smiling*
Alexandre Moreau(ML's Father)
Shall we discuss the marriage?
Cecilia Borealis(FL's Sister)
Huh?
Xavier Borealis(FL's Father)
Yes, we should.
As the parents were discussing the marriage between their children, Cecilia had become a blushing mess while the Moreau siblings were standing next to Alexander as the three of them were now leaning against the wall.
Coralie Moreau(ML's Sister)
I don't like her. *Spoke quietly but loud enough for her two older brothers to hear*
Alessandro Moreau(ML's Brother)
Why, little sis? *Looks at Coralie*
Coralie Moreau(ML's Sister)
She's fake. I don't like how she's acting.
Alexander Moreau(ML)
That we can agree on. *Spoke coldly while still keeping his eyes closed*
Alessandro Moreau(ML's Brother)
You haven't even looked at her, brother? *Turns his gaze back to his parents and Cecilia's parents*
Alexander Moreau(ML)
I don't need to.
Coralie Moreau(ML's Sister)
Yeah, it's obvio... *fall silent as her gaze was fixed on the doorway of the living room*
Alessandro Moreau(ML's Brother)
Hm? What happened, little sis? *Turned to look at where Coralie was looking and fall silent*
Chapter 2
Author
Before we continue, I want to clear something. I will not be doing an introduction.
Author
I want my story to be book-like, where you learn the characters on the way, their likes, their dislikes, their passion and more.
Author
Now let's continue.
As the discussion between the parents continued, Cecilia listened attentively and lift her head to look at Alexander, only to find his siblings staring at the doorway. Curious, she turned her head to look and her expression soured as she saw her younger sister.
Cecilia Borealis(FL's Sister)
Xavier Borealis(FL's Father)
*Stops talking and turned his head to the doorway of the living room as his expression softened* Baby, you're here.
Aurora Borealis(FL)
Mhmm... *Closes her eyes as she smiles slightly*
Coralie Moreau(ML's Sister)
*Blinks a few times* Is she the second daughter? *Whispers to her older brothers*
Alessandro Moreau(ML's Brother)
Most likely. *nudges his older brother*
Alexander Moreau(ML)
What. *Opens his eyes and glares at Alessandro*
Alessandro Moreau(ML's Brother)
Take a look.
Alexander Moreau(ML)
*Raises an eyebrow and glances at where his siblings were looking* Hmm..
Aurora Borealis(FL)
*Approaches her father and bows down towards Alexandre and Roselle as a greeting*
Roselle Moreau(ML's Mother)
Oh how sweet, hello, darling. *Smiles*
Aurora Borealis(FL)
*stands straight and fidgets with her fingers slowly*
Alexandre Moreau(ML's Father)
*Raises an eyebrow as she didn't respond back to his wife's greeting*
Amethyst Borealis(FL's Mother)
Aurora. Don't be rude!
Aurora Borealis(FL)
*Flinches* S-Sorry..
Xavier Borealis(FL's Father)
Now now, honey. *glances at his wife*
Amethyst Borealis(FL's Mother)
No, she should learn some manners.
Roselle Moreau(ML's Mother)
No, it's okay, Ame. *Looks at Aurora and smiles kindly* What did you say, dear? I couldn't hear you.
Aurora Borealis(FL)
S-Sorry....
Roselle Moreau(ML's Mother)
You have a very soft voice...
Cecilia Borealis(FL's Sister)
Forgive my younger sister, Madam Moreau. *Spoke up suddenly and smiles slightly* She's a quiet person and rather childish.
Roselle Moreau(ML's Mother)
Oh...? I see. *sits straight and turned her attention back to Amethyst* Now about the marriage...
As both the mothers were talking, Cecilia smirked subtly and joined in the conversation, thinking no one noticed but the Moreau siblings, however, noticed which just made Coralie dislike her more.
Coralie Moreau(ML's Sister)
See that, brother? *scoffed and crossed her arms*
Alessandro Moreau(ML's Brother)
Ah... I see... Brother, you're going to be married to a woman like that. I pity you.
Alexander Moreau(ML)
*Clicks his tongue and settled his gaze on Aurora*
Xavier Borealis(FL's Father)
*Stands up and pats Aurora on the head softly, leaning down and whispers* Want tea with milk....?
Aurora Borealis(FL)
*Nods slowly*
Xavier Borealis(FL's Father)
*Smiles softly and placed a soft kiss on her forehead* Then sit while I tell Edward to get your sweet tea.
Aurora Borealis(FL)
Okay... *Turned to the side and walks towards a chair*
Alexandre Moreau(ML's Father)
*Glances over his shoulder*
Aurora Borealis(FL)
*Sits down on the soft chair that was near the floor to ceiling windows*
Alexandre Moreau(ML's Father)
*Stares at her*
Xavier Borealis(FL's Father)
Edward! *calls out as he sat back down*
After a few seconds, the head Butler walked in, carrying a tray full of desserts and glasses along with a bottle of wine. Approaching the coffee table and placing the deserts and drinks down.
Edward Blythe(Head Butler of Borealis)
*Stands straight and walks towards Aurora as he placed a cup of tea and a glass of milk down on the small table beside the chair, along with some chocolate dipped strawberries* Here you are, my lady.
Aurora Borealis(FL)
Thank.. you.. Edward... *smiles and pours the milk in the tea*
Edward Blythe(Head Butler of Borealis)
*Bows and walks away as he leaves the living room*
Xavier Borealis(FL's Father)
*Rubs the bridge of his nose and sighs softly in amusement*
Alexandre Moreau(ML's Father)
I see you didn't have to tell your Butler anything. *leans forward and grabs the bottle of wine and pours on a glass*
Xavier Borealis(FL's Father)
Yes, indeed. Edward is an excellent Butler and of course that goes unnoticed. *Takes the glass of wine and takes a sip while handing his wife a glass of wine*
Amethyst Borealis(FL's Mother)
Thank you, honey. *takes it and went back to talking with Roselle*
Alexandre Moreau(ML's Father)
*Chuckles and hands his wife a glass of wine*
Roselle Moreau(ML's Mother)
*Takes it* Thank you, my love.
Alexandre Moreau(ML's Father)
mhm.
Coralie Moreau(ML's Sister)
*pushes off the wall and walks towards the couch as she stands behind her father* There's no tea?
Alexandre Moreau(ML's Father)
No, sweetheart. But don't you like wine, hm? *glances over his shoulder while taking a sip of the wine*
Coralie Moreau(ML's Sister)
I do not want to drink for now.
Aurora Borealis(FL)
You can.. have some.. of mine.. *smiles softly while extending her hand which was holding the cup of tea* I poured.. in another.. cup.. I'm.. not sure.. if you.. like.. milk.. in your.. tea..
Coralie Moreau(ML's Sister)
*Turned to look at her* Oh.. thank you... *takes the cup of tea and stares at it*
Aurora Borealis(FL)
You're.. welcome.... *Walks back to her chair*
Coralie Moreau(ML's Sister)
*Slowly raises the cup and takes a sip*
Coralie Moreau(ML's Sister)
Coralie Moreau(ML's Sister)
Whoa ✨ *Looks at Aurora and walks towards her* That is good.
Aurora Borealis(FL)
Right?
Chapter 3
As the afternoon went by with many chatter, evening had come and everyone was eating outside to enjoy the night as they chat.
As they were chatting while eating, Aurora was simply quiet as she ate. Not noticing that Alexander was staring at her with a glass of wine in hand.
Aurora Borealis(FL)
*nibbling on the meat as she had little energy left in her*
Alexander Moreau(ML)
Hmm... *Takes a sip of his wine while keeping his gaze on Aurora*
Alessandro Moreau(ML's Brother)
*Raises an eyebrow while taking a bite of meat*
Alessandro Moreau(ML's Brother)
*Leans towards and rests his elbow on the table* Whatever has caught your attention, brother?
Alexander Moreau(ML)
Miss Borealis.
Alessandro Moreau(ML's Brother)
*Glances at Cecilia who was in a conversation with their mothers*
Alessandro Moreau(ML's Brother)
Have you finally agreed to be married with her?
Alexander Moreau(ML)
*Glances at his brother with a slight smile*
Alexander Moreau(ML)
What was that?
Alessandro Moreau(ML's Brother)
Alessandro Moreau(ML's Brother)
Nothing.. *Averts his eyes*
Alexander Moreau(ML)
Hm. *calmly raises his glass of wine* Mother, Father.
Roselle Moreau(ML's Mother)
Yes, Alex?
Alexandre Moreau(ML's Father)
*looks at Alexander* Hm?
Alexander Moreau(ML)
Cancel the marriage.
With just that one sentence, everyone fall in complete silence. Especially Cecilia who stared at Alexander in shock, gripping the spoon she was holding very tightly and before anyone could utter a single word, Alexander spoke again.
Alexander Moreau(ML)
Instead.. Arrange my marriage with the second miss Borealis. *Settles his gaze on Aurora who merely stared right back at him*
Amethyst Borealis(FL's Mother)
*Looks at Aurora with wide eyes* My second daughter...?
Cecilia Borealis(FL's Sister)
Cecilia Borealis(FL's Sister)
*grips the spoon tightly and grinds her teeth* My sister...?
Aurora Borealis(FL)
Me....? *Blinks slowly*
Alexander Moreau(ML)
Yes, you.
Coralie Moreau(ML's Sister)
*Raises an eyebrow and glances at her father*
Alexandre Moreau(ML's Father)
*Sipping his glass of wine calmly and glances at Coralie*
Xavier Borealis(FL's Father)
Why my daughter, Aurora? *Raises an eyebrow as he stared at Alexander with cold eyes*
Roselle Moreau(ML's Mother)
Yes, Why her, Alex? Cecilia is a perfect match for you and she would be lovely as the Madam of the clan.
Cecilia Borealis(FL's Sister)
Y-Yes! I'm perfect to be your wife and a better choice then-
Alexander Moreau(ML)
Be quiet. *Spoke coldly while keeping his gaze on Aurora*
Cecilia Borealis(FL's Sister)
Alexander Moreau(ML)
And mother, I am now the master of our family. I can choose my own wife and this young lady, in front of me is who I want as my wife.
Roselle Moreau(ML's Mother)
Alex-
Alexandre Moreau(ML's Father)
Sweetheart.
Roselle Moreau(ML's Mother)
*Turned to look at her husband and fall silent*
Alexandre Moreau(ML's Father)
Very well, son. But.. *glances at Xavier* Do you agree, old friend?
Xavier Borealis(FL's Father)
*Looks at Alexandre, keeping his mouth shut then turned to look at Aurora* Baby, it's your choice.
Aurora Borealis(FL)
Uhh... *Fidgets with her fingers slowly as she can feel everyone's eyes on her*
Aurora Borealis(FL)
*Looks at Alexander and blinks slowly* Why.. do.. you want.. me.. and not.. my older sister..?
The Moreau family stared at Aurora in silence as not once do people question their decisions and to think she dared to question was a surprise.
Alexander Moreau(ML)
Well.. This is a first. *rests his elbow on the table as he kept his gaze on Aurora*
Alexander Moreau(ML)
Why do I want you instead of your sister? Because you're perfect for me. You have the qualities I want in a wife and of course.. as my other half.
Aurora Borealis(FL)
Other.. Half...? O-Oh.. right.. hmm... *blinks slowly and eats a piece of meat as she kept staring at Alexander* Okay...
Coralie Moreau(ML's Sister)
*Chokes on the wine she was drinking*
Alessandro Moreau(ML's Brother)
*Raises his hand and pats Coralie's back* You agreed quickly. *Looks at Aurora*
Xavier Borealis(FL's Father)
*Sighs softly and pats Aurora's head* Too quickly but I'll have to agree if that's what she decides.
Amethyst Borealis(FL's Mother)
Honey! You shouldn't agree. Roselle has chosen Cecilia-
Xavier Borealis(FL's Father)
And Alexander had chosen Aurora. *Looks at his wife*
Xavier Borealis(FL's Father)
This discussion is over, understood?
Amethyst Borealis(FL's Mother)
Yes Honey..
Xavier Borealis(FL's Father)
*Looks at Alexandre and sighs softly* Let's discuss the marriage over once again.
Alexandre Moreau(ML's Father)
Indeed we should. *Chuckles*
With that, the dinner was eaten in peace, both the fathers were in a conversation about the marriage, Aurora was simply nibbling on the meat while listening to her father's conversation. Meanwhile with the mothers, they ate their meal in silence as they can't go against their husbands' decisions and Cecilia had also fallen in silence, with the Moreau siblings, they were also listening to the conversation with Alexander merely focused on Aurora.
Soon after the Moreau family left as it was getting late, Aurora was in her bedroom, watching something on Netflix while her father was in his study, finishing up some paperwork and her mother was simply in their shared bedroom. Meanwhile her older sister was in her bedroom, pacing back and forth while biting her nails as she couldn't believe she got replaced.
Cecilia Borealis(FL's Sister)
I can't believe this. How could he choose her over me?!
Cecilia Borealis(FL's Sister)
Ugh!!
