--The duke loves you daughter, he just doesn't know how to show it--said his mother with a smile

His two brothers did not say a word they were used to keeping quiet when it came to their sister because they didn't have a good relationship her sister was always her parents' favorite, because she was a woman, they always let her do whatever she wanted

--Brothers, aren't you sad that your little sister is going to leave you?

--jule you're right, I just want you to tell me that you're going to miss me

--Mike jule don't say those words to your sister.

--If that is so, father, I'm leaving. --said mike while he was leaving

Jule didn't stay long and also left

-- Elene you are very kind to your brothers

Elene smiled and left the table heading to his room.

The wedding was soon so she needed to get ready to go see the duke.

-- Lady elene, the Duke's Mother sent her this dress-- The dress was green, it had flower designs.

She decided to wear that dress since the duke's mother knew her son, the Duke's mother was very kind to Elene, after getting dressed she left her room, and the carriage was waiting for her at the exit of the mansion. The carriage headed towards the duke's mansion.

-- Lady elene i see that you are wearing the dress that I sent you.

--Lady Marie, Duke edmond

Duke Edmont did not speak and simply looked at her. has black hair and light purple eyes, the Duke's mother her hair is black, and her eyes are brown

They began to make plans for what the wedding would be like, in which conversation the duke did not say anything

--Well, I think it will be a great wedding. --said lady Marie

Elene looked at the duke smiling at him, however in the duke's eyes she could see that he had contempt for her.

--It's just a wedding, there's not even love in an arranged marriage. --said the duke as he left the room

--He is like that, you will have to get used to it if you truly love him.

--I really love him

-- I'm glad to hear from you, I hope you love him forever --She said it with a smile on her face, but she didn't show that much happiness.

The reason she got engaged to the Duke was because of the Duke's mother, she arranged the marriage with Duke Edmond even though Elene knew that he didn't love her, she believed that one day he would love her but even if she tried, the duke always looked at her with contempt. Despite everything, Elene continued to think that one day he would love her.

...

The wedding day had arrived, Elene was happy to wear the wedding dress

--You look very good, Elene.

-- do you think edmond likes the way i look?

--quite sure --said marie

Elene's mother was not with her because something had come up, and his brothers no longer cared

-- My lady elene something happened, the count said he wants to talk to you at his office

-- Lady marie can wait for me

-- Sure it seems that something urgent has arisen.

With Marie's words she became more worried, when she arrived at his father's office, she saw him worried and thoughtful.

-- My dear daughter, something urgent has happened.

She looked her father and mother in the eyes

-- Is it a bad thing? -- she asked worriedly

-- We have lost a lot of money in finance, the business we invested in scammed us and took all the money with it...

The nobles don't know yet, I'll try to keep this a secret for a short time, marry the duke and win his heart, and then you can help us with the duke's help we can rise again from ruin.

Her father's words surprised Elene. She did not want to see her family in Ruin. Only by trying harder and winning the duke's heart could she help her family. She didn't expect this to happen on her wedding day. If the Duke divorced her, it would be the ruin of her family.

-- Father, mother, do my brothers know?

-- No, they would react badly, I don't want to tell them now. -- his expression was unhappy, and his dark circles were visible to the naked eye.

-- I will, after all I love the duke, however, the Duke... -- she wanted to cry, but she didn't want his parents to get sadder.
