The Duke's Substitute Wife
The departure of Abella

"See ! you're satisfied." Shouted Ferland while embracing Abella's shoulder to stand up. "You know when you're aware of Abella. Brother is ashamed of Abella, you're not the old Abella."

"Servant ! help Miss Abella get dressed. From now on, you are banished and bring nothing from this house. You must live as a commoner." Shouted Duke Arland who had boarded the apoplexy. If not her own daughter. It was certain that his hands were strangling his neck and inflicting torture on him.

"Mother, I beg you to forgive me. I don't want to go there." Abella said as she clasped the hand of her mother who was still sitting on the floor by leaning her body against the whitewashed wall.

"Go, you must live it." Duchess Eliana said as she stood. Her heart was fragile seeing Viola's departure and added again with Abella's departure. As evil as she is, Abella is still her daughter, her flesh and blood. "Today you must leave this house."

"No ! I don't want to" cried Abella.

"Bring him up, if you can't keep quiet. Just tie him up." The two maids saluted Duke Arland. Each of them pulls Abella's arm to her room.

Abella no longer rebelled, she had no energy at all. Same with his heart. He laughed looking at his face in the mirror. Her hair was disheveled and her eyes were reddened, not because of anger but because her tears kept flowing.

After a few minutes. The two servants had finished dressing Abella as usual and her clothes were like ordinary people, no more luxurious and soft dresses.

"Let's Miss" said one of the servants. Abella stands. Everyone in this house doesn't want it anymore.

"Dad, Mother, Brother, you can do this to me. Who her? and I'm who? why just him and him." cried Abella clenched her hands. "You'll regret it" he continued. He stepped out and down the stairs in a hurry. Arriving in the living room there was a feeling of disappointment. He did not see any of the men who had delivered his departure. There was only Lucia standing outside the door.

"Sister, I'm sorry I couldn't do anything." Lusia.

"I do not regret it, even if I have to leave this house. You better get out of this house, too." Abella said with a sharp.

Lucia realized, she was also no one in this magnificent house. He's just a stranger in this house. "I'm going to go, brother,"

"Good !" abella.

Lucia picked up her clothes in the closet, folded them neatly and stuffed them into a sizable box. Before leaving he headed to Duke Arland's room. One of the servants let Lucia in after the permission of Duke Arland.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry to bother you and your lady."

"Stay in the inn of the city, there will be a servant who will take you there. I've taken care of everything. The inn will be yours. I thank you for taking Abella."

"No need sir, I came here. Just wanting to see my sister wasn't meant to be." Lusia.

"Don't refuse, just think of it as my gift to you."

"Thank you, you've taken care of her. Forgive my daughter's mistake. I don't know why he changed? but I hope this punishment changes her." Duchess Eliana.

"Thank you ladies and gentlemen." Lucia said respectfully. Up outside the room he passed Ferland who was just staring flat.

"Thank you young master." Lusia. That move stopped too.

"If you had been involved in this incident. I'll make sure tomorrow morning you don't see any more sunlight." Ferland.

It's hard to get close to him, do I give it up. I couldn't bear to see her cold face that inner Lucia.

"Well, when are we going to the Duke's Majesty's house?" ask Ferland.

"Tomorrow morning we'll all be there. We'll explain it. Although my heart aches to see Abella go, it's all for Abella's sake. He must be aware, His Highness the Duke does not love him. I was afraid, he was determined. I just saw all his behavior. I saw she wasn't my Abella, but someone else." Duke Arland stared at the blue sky in his window.
