“I have a final request. I want you to listen to what I have to say.”

“Alright. Tell me, I will give it to you unless it’s an increase in alimony.”

“No, it’s not that. I don’t need alimony if you do me this favor.”

“Then, what is it?”

“Please prepare a job for me.”

“…..What?”

Stupid girl.. If I were you I will take the money happily. I'm gonna drop this novel. Another typical reincarnated novel with dissapointed way of the story flow.

Enough for tonight.

I close my handphone and glance over my sleeping child. My beautiful child.. I wish I have plenty of money. I'm tired. Today, my small business dont have sales at all. How can I pay my debt.

My husband work almost 24 hour but still not enough to make end meets.

I regret taking the business loan. My small business is no where.. and I cant depend on my husband alone.

I wish I can turn back times.. Seriously.. I need time machine more than money I think. There was a lot to change. My life is in complete mess. Between my siblings I was the only one who manage to further study and receive more education. But here I am.. as a housewife and try to survive with small business from home. My other siblings whose dont have any certificate or diploma manage to get work in Government as Officers, have a nice job and lead a nice life.

' Hahaha' I laugh silently at myself.

Whatever.. let just sleep and try again for tomorrow.

The man glared at her with a colder look compared to the one earlier.

“Since you knew that you were almost going to lose, you’re pretending to be crazy now?”

“…. Pardon?”

“You can avoid this situation with a lie, but you’ll still be kicked out of the mansion. Just like how you hate Robbie and I, I’m sick of you too.”

I still hasn’t grasped what was going on.

My head feels dizzy. A dream? What the heck.. even in dreams I get scold at. Cant I have sweet dream instead?

I didnt even know how to respond the man in front of me. Should I say something?

"Tch" seeing there's no repond the man glare at me then leave the room and slam the door. I look at the door with puzzle eyes.

Wow.. dramatic man. I dont know why I feel amused inside.

I glance over the room. Woah.. fancy decoration.. big bed with canopy.. comfortable and beautiful sofa with tea table.. a fire place.. wide and tall window with parlor.. expensive looking curtain..

Nice.. not bad for a dreams.. very detailed.

I try to wake from my sit but my head feels dizzy again.

Okay, let just take a nap at this sofa. I have many works to do tomorrow anyway. Housework.. prepare things for my business..sending my child to kindergarden and so on..

knock knock..

"D-duchess.."

Kate the maid knocking the door. Although the Duke and Duchess in process of divorce, she is still her master today. Until then, she still have to respect her master privacy and do her work diligently.

She not answering. Is Madam okay?

Kate knocking the door again.

"Duchess.. its me, your maid. May I come in?"

Sweat pour like rain at Kate head. Afraid of her master temperament. Maybe she will be beaten to death by her master for knocking repeatly.

But she have no choice. Its her duty to attend her master.

Waiting in silent make it more restless.

Its dinner time and Her master still dont take a bath yet. Normally she will have more maid to attend her daily. But everyone is afraid of her. Same goes with Kate. And yet she is the only one who still want to attend the Duchess.

"Come in"

To her shock, the duchess voice seems to be less scary in her ears.

Kate enter the room.

The duchess still laying in sofa with her eyes half open. Glaring at her. Kate heart stop beating for a while. Back to her conscious, she manage to speak.

"M-madam...I-i w-will draw your bath.." Kate stuttering, bowing 180° degree. Not waiting for the answer she quickly ran her feet to the duchess private bathroom.

That was so intense. Her heart beat fast. The Duchess laying at the sofa with her messy long curly shiny black hair, half open eye lid, glimmering green eyes like jewels.. while glaring at her.. make the duchess look like a fallen night angel.

It was beautiful yet sad picture. Not matching with her bad temper.

Kate quickly do her job while thinking how good it will be if the duchess, her master were kind, generous and smile a litle bit. A small sigh out of her mouth.

"You there"

Ack! Kate stumble to the floor. Shock and frighten write on all over her face.

" Do you have any food?"

...what? Food? Oh no.. she must be hungry! Foolish me! I forgot to ask her about dinner.

..huhhh? Suddenly the green eyes look at her on the same level. The duchess is sitting in squad in front of her!

Is this a new way of touchering? Kate want to scream and pull her hair but thankfully her sense come first.

"Y-yes M-madam..I will prepare your dinner immediately"

The duchess tilt her head a litle but it make Kate more nervous and ran her feet quickly out of the room.

***

Someone knocking the door.

..the door? nobody ever knocking to my bedroom before.

I open my eyes slightly. Huh? I still in the dream? whats going on here..

Unconsciously, I let the person who knocking the door to enter the room.

A girl in foreign maid uniform. I try to get up but the girl quickly bow her head and saying she will draw my bath with stuttering voice. Then quickly she flew away to the next room.

I glance to the room where the girl dissapearing to. why.. she look scared.

My stomach grumbling. For real? really..

If this a dream.. it was to detail! the sound of grumbling and the feel of hungry is real!

I put my palm on my head.

I should look for food first.

I strode away to the room where the girl at.

"You there"

The girl stumbling to the floor frighten.

Oh my.. whats wrong with you?

anyway.. " Do you have any food?"

I squad down to see the girl face.

The girl stuttering again while answer my question. She then ran pass me out of the room.

Well I quest.. I should wait at the sofa then.

While waiting for the girl to arrive, I pondering in my mind.

If this is real.. what will happen to my real body? My child.. my husband.. will they sad I'm not there? I know my child would.. but my husband.. I just hope he will take good care of our child atleast.

Hah.. what world is this.. what year will it be..

The sound of my stomach grumbling hit my sense first.
