The unrevealed secret

It took me few days to get well.

-Lizzy do you know when you were unwell what happened.

-Huh....did something bad happend? Mary didn't say anything.

-Gosh she probably didn't want you to stress out.

-So what exactly happened?

-Apparently some maids saw the count with a lady. Also yesterday the countess were very angry. She was throwing and breaking all of her belongings.

-Is it because of that lady?

-We are suspecting that. But who knows what exactly happened between them.

-(People said,they were once one of the happiest couple. God knows what happened between them to break them like that.)

-Anyway,we shouldn't about them for now. Let's do our work.

-Hm.(I also need to report to the master. I wonder if he knew i was sick.)

-Can i come in my lord?

-Come.

-So,i thought i told you to report to me about Annie everyday.

-(I am doomed. Will he fire me now. No let's calm down.) I am sorry i was sick so...

-That's something for you to worry about. What about the count?

-I heard the count and lady Annie fought yesterday. She even threw and broke her belongings.

-Elizabeth.

-Y-yes.

-That's nothing new. Even i know about it. Sigh....you are useless.

-(What am i supposed to report when there is nothing to report.)

-Get out.

-Y-yes.

Just like that,half of the day Elizabeth was busy with her work untill the countess called her.

-Lizzy.

-Yes my lady.

-Do you not want to get married?

-Marriage?

-Yeah.

-I never thought about it.

-You shouldn't get married unless you have someone you love or else you will meet the same fate as mine.

-But my lady the count is worried about you.

-You don't know him. He is a bastard. He is someone who never understood anything about a woman's heart. Gosh....what am i saying to you. Perhaps your mother was also like that.

-My mother?

-Yes. Maybe she also suffered because your father never understood her.

-Who knows.

As i gazed through the window,i remembered my mother never once loved me. It was me who thought mother cared for me more than anyone. Perhaps it is true when it's marriage of convenience,you can't fall in love.

-Mortan.

-Yes my lady?

-Give me the key to my father's room.

-Pardon. The marquis's room?

-Yes.

-May i ask what do you intend to do?

-Mortan don't forget who you are. You don't have the right to say or ask me anything.

-Forgive me my lady. Here it is.

-(Now that i think about it after baroness Eleanor saved me,my father started to sent too many letters and telegrams. I thought it was because of his business. Perhaps there is a connection between them that i am unaware of.)

Annie opened her father's room with a trembling hand. For the first time after her father's dead,she opened this door. As she looked through here and there,she couldn't find anything useful related to the baroness. She remembered,her father burned all of those letters and telegrams when they arrived after reading them.

-My lady it's look like a diary.

-Let me see. It's my father's diary.

Annie opened her father's diary which has been sealed for many years. The first contents of the diary was about his personal affairs untill Annie came across the name baroness Eleanor.

Is it wrong to love someone when you are married? The eyes,the nose and her beautiful face. Even for the second i couldn't forget about it. I first saw her when she saved my daughter. Her smile looked like a flower has bloomed. But i am afraid,what will happen if my wife knows about it. Will she able to handle it? What about my children? Will they be able to forgive me? Many thoughts started to circle around me. I couldn't sleep nor could i eat. It was like lovesickness. I started to meet with her more and more. We both shared same hobbies,same interests. Everything was going well untill my wife found out everything. Since that day,the world that i wanted shattered into pieces.
