The Duke's Substitute Wife
Promises that hurt

"What does the Marquess mean to say such a thing?" duke Cristin asked as he kicked the table in front of him. All eyes looked at him.

Viola looked at the other visitors who were feeling uneasy. He didn't want to be the owner of a Restaurant that went bankrupt overnight just because of Duke Cristin's stupidity.

Viola pulled his arm up to the top floor. While Duke Cristin has not realized if he is on the top floor of the Viola workspace.

"What do you mean make a scene here?" cry Viola.

"Of course I'm looking for you. And you're just as willing to be with someone else. Even you forgot your noble status." Duke Cristin. His emotions can no longer be controlled. She could not hold it in anymore, for her Viola was intending to have an affair behind her.

"Are you going to have an affair with him?" continue again with the oddity.

"What do you mean, huh? does Your Highness the Duke think I'm going to sell myself? be aware, Your Majesty. I became a girl. It was dirtier when I replaced my brother. What does Your Majesty think, I'm happy? what Your Majesty the Duke thinks I'm happy and laughing." Viola laughed off. As if he was saying, his laughter was the opposite.

"For me, this marriage is just a lie. So never ask about cheating and cheating." Viola said as he turned his face away. He felt disgusted face to face with Duke Cristin. The mind is short-sighted and never thinks about what is right and wrong.

"Everything is clear, you go out at night just to see him. You think I don't know,"

Viola looked back at Duke Cristin's face, "That unfounded accusation. Did Your Majesty see me cuddle or kiss?"

Duke Cristin pulled the corner of his thick lips. "If I hadn't caught you, the Duchess could've done it."

Viola closed his eyes, there was no other choice. Besides telling the truth. If Duke Cristin doesn't believe it, it's up to him not to do it.

"Is His Majesty the Duke aware of His Majesty's words? even His Majesty is the one who made a fuss in my Restaurant." Viola took one step. Until their distance is very close.

"Even Your Majesty destroyed my business in an instant."

"What do you mean?" duke Cristin asked not to understand.

"This feast belongs to me, Your Honorable Duke. I came here, just wanted to see my first business open. Is His Highness the Duke only able to see one eye?" Viola turned her body to the side while crossing her hands on her chest.

"I came here just to do business, but you." Viola. "We should get divorced soon. I don't want to be trapped and restrained by you."

prangs

Viola picked up the vase on her desk. "I hate you. You are selfish, you only think about your own feelings. Never thought about my feelings.."

Duke Cristin turned his body around, he again stepped towards Viola with a hard-to-art look. "I have to what Vio? I have to do what? I have suffered enough all this time. All this time I've been torturing enough of my own inner self?" shouted Duke Cristin.

"I'm trying to fight my own feelings. I'm trying to accept my destiny, make peace with my destiny. For 12 years Vio, for 12 years I felt it every second, minute and day."

Viola retreated his footsteps. Little by little Duke Cristin approached him, not blinking his eyes. Until Viola's body came to a stop as it approached the side of the table.

"Say what should I do?"

"I don't understand what you're saying. I will never understand." Viola.

"Free, my life won't mean anything to you."

"Heh, what Your Highness the Duke thinks, I will want to be your second wife. Become your mistress. What if my brother comes back? you're not going to divorce me."

Duke Cristin choked, his tongue felt dead. He wanted to explain everything, but it was free to explain. He made a promise to his late mother. A promise that played with his feelings. Had he not promised, he might have said it.

"You will be the Duchess of a Duke, nothing will change. Even if your brother comes back. Duke Cristin's nobility and wife will remain yours."

"Do you think I'm crazy about your treasure?" viola asked pointing at his chest.

"Whatever, you'll still be a Duchess, forever unchanged. Even if I die." Scream Duke Cristin.

Duke Cristin left Viola, who spilled his anger through the vase. As he took a step, a drop of tears shot out from Duke Cristin's eyes.

I'm sorry Vio, I'm strangling you from a promise. I cannot ignore my promise. I can't lose my responsibility to Mom. Though having to defy and go against the flow of my own feelings.
