Drunkard Becomes the Villain's Step Mother

Duchess 1

Mito and Pacita are standing side by side.

Arben and Paula already give their farewell and patiently waiting in thr carriage.

Amadeus is facing the two.
"I'll be going now."

Pacita snorts.
"Do your best."

Amadeus shakes his head.
"I'm always doing my best."

"Huh? Why are you suddenly want to oppose me?" Pacita pouts and looks at Amadeus.
"So uncute."

"I am well aware that mother thinks I am handsome. Thank you."

"Haha." Pacita chuckles and waves her hand.
"Go go. Your father and I will wait for you to come home."

Amadeus nods.
"Okay."

Mito looks at the two people.
Pacita, who refuse to look at Amadeus.
And Amadeus that trying to catch Pacita's eye sight.
If he is not Pacita's husband he will think the two are in courting stage.

"Why won't you look at him in the eye? He won't leave less you do." Mito said softly.

Pacita lowers her head.
Slowly, she looks at Amadeus.
Her red eyes are like beautiful rubies.
Suddenly, those beautiful orbs shines.
Tears threatens to fall.
Pacita looks away.

She is angry at her ownself.
She is not an emotional person.
She thought she was not.
But does she wants to cry?

OFCOURSE SHE KNOWS!

It's because Amadeus call her mother...she also feels like she is Amadeus Mother. And because the boy is good to her. She doesn't know when but she also wants to be good to him.

Amadeus looks at Pacita with widen eyes.
Pacita's upset face made him smile.

"Don't be sad, mother. I'll be back soon."

"......okay." Pacita looks at him. "I am not sad."

Amadeus nods.
"It was I who is sad."

"Yeah. It's you." She snorts again.

The tears is held properly. It didn't fall. Pacita preserves her face!

"Go now. It'll be late when you come back at school." Mito said.

Amadeus looks at Mito.
The two nod at each other.
Last night, they think of a very bold theory
Pacita, the green-eyed hooker and the Pacita the duchess. Mito will unearth whatever connection the two people have and will slowly find out if their theory is real.
Then maybe they will understand the reason for Pacita to possess Magdaline's body.

Mito holds Pacita's hand as they watch the departing carriage.

"Magdaline."

"I... Am I being too greedy?" Pacita murmurs.

"What's wrong?"

Pacita smiles. She looks down and look at the Duke's hand on hers.

"What if someday....you wake up and I am not the same person?"

Mito's heart tremble.
He holds his breath and prepare for Pacita's grand reveal.

Pacita looks at Mito when she didn't get a response.

"Your Grace? What's wrong?"

Mito feels a bit disappointed.
"I'm fine." He looks at Pacita's face. "You are beautiful. But I like your attitude more. Outgoing. Fearless. Shameless."

Pacita blushes and glares at Mito.
"Who is shameless? I'm not."

Mito snorts.
"Who keeps making dirty jokes recently?"

"But...but you enjoy them when we are in bed.."

Mito pinches her cheeks.
"They are for my ears. Not to taint little children."

Pacita giggles.
"Duke!"

Mito smiles.
"What?"

Pacita is greedy.
She knows that now.

"I want to be called Duchess someday."

"......"

Pacita walks ahead.
She is blushing.
She reprimands herself couple times not to say what's on her mind but she still say it.
How tasteless!
How greedy!

She angrily runs to hee room and close the door.
She doesn't want to see anyone.
She doesn't want the Duke to tell her again that he will never love her.

"Ahhhhh! Stupid!"
She hugs the pillow tightly and glare at the ceiling.
"The atmosphere is good. Your life is smooth sailing. Why do you have to say something like that? Be contented! You use to like wine alone. Never loving anyone. So why would you wish for something you don't own huh? Huh? Huh????? You irritating woman! "

Pacita sighs.
What's the use in getting mad at herself?
It's not her fault. It's the Duke's and Amadeus fault!
