Un Ciel Plein D'étoiles - A Sky Full Of Stars-

Chapter 11: Divided Heart

As I was about to stand up, someone yelled my name.

"Francette! Stay there!"

I turned to look about who it was, It was just one of the maids, once again.

"Leave me alone."

I say while continuing to raise my hands, laughing with the rain as I find my solace in the rain.

She grabs her umbrella and drags me to the house again.

"Let me go!"

"Francette don't be stubborn!"

"Ms. Genieve! Let me g-"

"Where were you?"

Ms. Genieve spoke.

"It's none of your business, Ms. Genieve."

I lowered my voice with pure defiance due to the situation.

"You could have gotten sick out there, Francette!"

She scolded me like a mother.

"I just needed some time alone, okay?!"

I yelled, she flinched

"Francette, you like Lady Tremaine, Do you?"

"No, I don't."

"Don't fool me, Francette."

"I do not like her, Okay?!"

"Then why did you cry when you heard her getting married?"

I was silent, If I didn't like her, Why did I cry? If I don't love her, then why did I let her kiss me yesterday?

"I d-don't know, Ms. Geneive.."

"It's because you love her, Francette."

"Stop acting like you don't love her, I see you."

Ms. Geneive warned me before leaving me, dumbfounded.

I am not worthy to enter her roof. I am just a servant here, nothing more, nothing less.

I decided to do chores, Thankfully I didn't cross paths with Ms. Lady Tremaine.

I heard them talking again.

"This is Marcus."

"Well, hello there, Marcus."

While I eavesdrop, I turn to watch them, secretly. Ms. Lady Tremaine had a cold smile.

After minutes of talking they went inside.

"Francette? Do you mind getting us a cup of tea? It would be appreciated."

Ms. Lady Tremaine instructed me.

"Of course, Ms. Lady Tremaine."

I said to her, and she nodded.

"So, everything is set?"

One of the friends of Ms. Lady Tremaine had asked.

"Yes, I guess."

"So the marriage is next?"

Be thankful that I got hurt in my arms and I couldn't move it a lot, or else I would punch you in the Face, Marcus.

As I walked towards them, I heard Ms. Lady Tremaine's annoyance.

"I promised my late husband I'm not getting married."
