Women her age were usually scared during their wedding night, but Clementine knew what she had to do.
The sooner an heir was brought to the world, the better.
But Clementine was ambitious and cunning and she had a plan, a plan that started to come together once she turned 16.
Gilbert Vanderbilt was rich, twenty years older and a widower; she only had to make sure he fell in love with her and the rest would happen naturally.
As soon as he found out the baby had been born, Gilbert ran home. Once he arrived and Clementine showed him his new son, he breathed in relief; he finally had an heir.
Gilbert asked Clementine if he could hold Benjamin and, while they bonded, she sat down and smiled lightly.
Everything had gone well and, now that she had a Vanderbilt son, her position in society was finally secured.
Bella was extremely pregnant, and her unborn child and heir of the Goth state was the only thing she talked about.
She was excited, and told Clementine she hoped she could follow her soon.
That was actually Clementine’s plan, but so far she was not being successful.
Thankfully, Clementine usually had some ladies over at her house. They weren’t exactly friends, but Bella Goth, Rebecca Clarke and Julia Wright proved to be entertaining enough for her to want to keep them close and spent the afternoon together.
(and yes, Becca and Julia are VERY GOOD friends and two single ladies who have been living together for years… if you know what I mean)
Marriage was strange for Clementine.
Gertrudis, the housekeeper, cooked every meal and kept the house clean and, while Gilbert and her had breakfast together every morning, the rest of the day she was alone after he left for work, trying to keep herself entertained.
