The food was delicious. I decided to walk around and take a look. It's a good feeling to walk alone sometimes. I somehow ended up in a market place. This is the best place in the entire world for me. People don't know me and I don't know them. They're just here to make a living.
Sometimes I would even get stopped by someone and said I was beautiful. I guess to commoners I am beautiful. I wish I was born as a commoner. As I walked past by the many shops and stands, i could smell the delicious street foods. It's regretful that I couldn't eat them I must maintain my weight, that's what everyone says.
On a familiar road, i stopped by a small bar near the sea. I could hear the people inside happily drinking and chatting, that's the sound of success to me. Indeed there were a lot of people thankfully I wore my hooded cape. I went to the counter and saw the bartender.
He smiled and led me to the bad room. A young man he was, you might ask what's a young man doing as a bartender then I would have to say he didn't have anywhere else to go so I took him in and gave him a job.
This bar was my property. I have kept my love and interest in tasting wine a secret. In fact I love alcohol, it would be a horrible thing if people were to find out that the Duchess loves alcohol, the Cold Alcoholic demon they might say.
With little money I had of my own i built this place from scratch. I didn't had anyone to hire so when I found this boy by the door one day I put him in charge of everything when I'm not here. My bar is his home now, i even put a room upstairs for him. See I'm kind hearted too.
"My lady how've you been?" He asked.
"So so. Jared how's the bar going?" Jared is his name.
"It's going well, my lady. New products have also arrived. We've partnered up with almost every major wine company for now."
"Hm that's good. How's the new employee?"
Jared seems to be blushing when I asked. He said, "She's really good... Mary i mean "
Ah young love i wonder what's that like. Seeing him all flushed up i couldn't help but tease him, " Oh Good I see she's really popular with the male customers."
Is that a pout I see? He looked so cute that I couldn't help but mess his hair up.
"Ah I just styled it!" He shouted. A little brother, that's what he was to me. Who knew I would get such a cute brother when I opened this bar.
It appears it's time for me to leave. The sun was going down. Not that I couldn't stay any longer, no one would come for me. The breeze from the sea was soothing, I wish I could stay here forever.
It was already dark by the time i reached home. I didn't realised I would cross paths with him.
There stood my husband, Ceaser Valentine, in front of me, tall and broad. His eyes a perfect shade of sapphire piercing through you, a perfect jaw line and a pointed nose. Who wouldn't want this man, why would Jesseline threw him away. I'm jealous of you once again Jesseline, how can you have to heart to say no to this man. I hope I had that.
As usual he glares as me. I couldn't help but look down, I'm afraid, I'm afraid to see the hate in his eyes. He left without a word.
I could hear the footsteps walking away, each sound felt like it's I hate you to me. In the end I once again ate my leafy dinner alone.
