Wife for Hire

Chapter 11

“Where the hell is my dad?!”

Seven-year-old Wisdom Linnea Calvin was looking for her father who disappeared in the midst of her birthday barbeque party.

“Wisdom, dear. Could you find your father and tell him that the grilled lobster is done?” Her mother’s sweet voice made her smile for a bit then shift back to being frowned.

In every event they had at their house, her father constantly vanishes in the middle of an important event and just came back after an hour or two.

Wisdom entered their abode and went to her parents’ bedroom. But her father wasn’t there. She didn’t even know why she looked at their bedroom first.

‘Maybe he’s sleeping?’ She naively thought and just chuckled at herself for thinking her father would sleep under broad daylight, at exactly noon.

Frustrated, she grabbed a carrot and went to the backyard to feed her pet rabbits instead. Her rabbits, Romeo and Juliet, rattled as soon as they heard her coming. She was feeding the two when Wisdom heard strange noises.

She never heard those sounds before. They were moaning but not the sound of someone in pain. She could hear the creaking of a bed and it looked like someone was repeatedly pounding and hitting a wall as well.

“What is that?” She asked, more like herself.

Wisdom followed the sound. She walked inside again and the sounds kept getting louder.

Finally, after five minutes of wondering what those sounds were, she managed to locate it.

It was in the guest room where Miss Lilly Kravitz, her mother’s best friend since high school, was staying.

‘Perhaps aunt Lilly was fixing her bed…’ Little Wisdom thought.

So, she went back to the backyard again and grabbed one of her fatter rabbits, Romeo, and brought it with her. She plans to show Romeo to her aunt Lilly how big he had become ever since her aunt Lilly gave the rabbits to her.

Wisdom was about to knock at her aunt Lilly’s door when she noticed it wasn’t locked at all. It was not close either.

As curious as a cat, she opened the door slowly. This time, she could hear the moaning sounds louder and clearer than ever.

She was about to call for her aunt Lilly when she saw clothes on the floor of the mini-living room. One of those belongs to her father. She couldn’t be mistaken as his father had worn a gray printed shirt and black shorts this morning.

She walked further and noticed that the bedroom was ajar. She peeked through it when Romeo, the fat rabbit, bit one of her fingers.

She silently endured the pain. It wasn’t that painful at all. The rabbit’s bite was more of a playful one than what she thought.

When Wisdom jerked her head, it seemed that the blood inside her had dried up. She was looking at her father and her aunt Lilly on top of the bed. Both are absolutely naked and seem to move in a bizarre motion.

“Dad?” Little Wisdom’s voice was so cute that her father didn’t notice her upon her first call. It was her aunt Lilly who saw her first as the latter opened her eyes.

Lilly gasped and beckoned Wisdom’s father to stop by slapping him.

“Dad? Aunt Lilly?” Her voice was louder this time.

The two finally stopped what they were doing.

“Are you two dancing, dad?”

By the time she asked that, her father grabbed a blanket to cover himself. Lilly Kravitz grabbed her clothes and put them on as fast as the strike of lightning.
