No Longer The Marquess' Wife
Episode 1 : The Will
Talia
My days as a Marchioness is all over...
Talia thought as she slowly took steps to the carriage prepared before her.
She knew that the moment the carriage leaves the estate it will be equivalent to forfeiting everything she had as the Marchioness including the surname, a commoner with no family such as her finally had.
Despite that, she had already decided.
Talia
Goodbye... and thank you
All she could do was thank the estate for sheltering her in a whisper.
It was the first time she had felt the warmth of a home.
Although leaving is never what she desired.
She just wished for Enzo to wake up.
It will never happen as long as she stays by his side.
It's exactly as you heard, the reason why he fell ill is because you were there by his side
Talia... I thought you were quite smart for a commoner but as it turns out, you were actually...
The person made a step towards her as she pressed those words.
He will wake up as if nothing happened if and only if you leave him. Without saying a single word explaining why.
Talia
Why should I leave him? This doesn't make any sense!
The woman smirked in response to her puzzled expression.
I must have underestimated the intelligence of a commoner, my bad.
Don't you understand the situation you are in?
He is ill because he chose you instead of me. He can be silly sometimes...
But this is the extent of my patience.
Talia
Y-you couldn't have...
If I can't have him then why should I let you have him?
Talia felt helpless and defeated as she heard those words. It was too much of a shock that she can't stop trembling as different feelings rushed into her heart.
I wouldn't mind letting him die, if he will never be mine anyway
Tell me do you understand Talia?
All that answered the questions of the woman were Talia's silence.
Yet she persevered as she felt that Talia is slowly wavering.
Can't you see? He's suffering, he's in pain, he can't open his eyes!
With an empathetic look she held Talia's face.
It's all because you came into his life!
Don't you want to see him healthy once again?
Or would you rather have the bedridden man who could not speak, walk or eat?!
Is that the extent of your love?
Tears dropped down Talia's eyes as she listened to the woman clearly remembering how Enzo's life is slowly withering away the more he stays in that state.
She clearly knew she was not at fault no matter how many times the woman pushed the blame on her.
However only 'that' woman could make a difference.
Which is why she agreed to the deal proposed by the woman.
Talia
Promise me one thing...
Despite the fact that it was never in her favor.
The woman's face lit up upon hearing her submit.
Talia
Promise me that he will be happy.
All of this that I'm doing is for his happiness!
Talia
...and that you won't do something like this again.
Oh my, don't make it look as if I'm some heartless villain
Talia
love him as much as I did
In a flash, blood dripped down Talia's cheek as she was hit by the shard of a glass the woman has thrown.
The woman looked like a demon as her face contorted and she seethed with anger.
COMPARE MY LOVE FOR HIM WITH YOURS?! YOU WENCH!
Even so, the negotiation was able to continue between the two.
Moreover, Talia, who was the thorn on that woman's life is now exiting the Freidrich estate.
Talia
( The moment I step on this carriage and leave, I will put everything behind me and live my life as it comes )
Talia
( Everything that has happened today, yesterday and the day after )
Talia
( Will all be nothing but a piece of the past )
