you understand Lillian?โ€

For the first time in her life, Lillian was speechless. She can be able to see the hurt and pain in her eyes. The sadness and longing in her voice. She did what a friend would do, she held her trembling form. โ€œIโ€™m so sorry you had to endure that,โ€ She whispered. โ€œI understand perfectly well what you had to go through,โ€

Jane accepted the comfort her friend was giving her and she relaxed against her. โ€œIt did hurt. Knowing I wasnโ€™t good enough for him.โ€

Lily hushed her quietly. โ€œYou are good enough for him Jane. He was just a fool to have not returned your feelings. My brother was after lust. He let his cock do the guiding. He didnโ€™t follow his heart,โ€

Her blunt comment made her chuckle through her falling tears. โ€œIโ€™m weak that is what I am. Look at me tearing because of an event that happened nine years ago,โ€

โ€œAn event that hasnโ€™t yet been resolved,โ€ Lillian argued but her voice was soft.
โ€œIt has been resolved,โ€ Jane whispered against her chest. โ€œA very long time ago,โ€

โ€œNothing has been resolved,โ€ She replied in a low voice. โ€œLook at the outcome, no one has had closure. The result of this 'closure' you are speaking about brings the two of you nothing but misery. Even the whole household can be able to confirm that. Janeโ€ฆ please you have to try,โ€

โ€œIโ€™ve been trying and I justโ€ฆ.,โ€

โ€œHave you been trying?โ€ She asked her voice soft, understanding. โ€œHave you been really trying Jane?โ€

Jane thought for a moment. It wasnโ€™t necessary as to she wasnโ€™t trying, but it was the fact that he wouldnโ€™t give her chance to. โ€œNo. I guess I wasnโ€™t trying but it was his fault. I have no reason to seek closure. He is the one who has problems. Not I,โ€

โ€œThat may be but as I said before, you are the only can be able to help him,โ€

โ€œYou cannot help someone who doesnโ€™t want help,โ€ Was all she said, murmuring against her neck.

โ€œEven the cruelest person in the whole universe can obtain redemption,โ€ Lillian whispered pulling away. โ€œJust think about it. Please. If tomorrow your decision to depart is final I will not stop you. And moreover, traveling with no chaperone this late will do nothing but harm. It is best in the morning,โ€ With that she stood and smoothed her wrinkled gown. โ€œI would think you are a kind person Jane, not a person who leaves your own best friend out in the cold, heartbroken and alone after all these years. You say that you could not help him in the past, hereโ€™s your chance to make up for it,โ€ She disappeared through the door, leaving Jane to make the decision.


Lillian couldnโ€™t sleep last night. She was anticipating Janeโ€™s decision. Scattered and rotating around like a whirlwind. Now she is seated in the dining room, alone.
Edgar had to go elsewhere. He would be back at later noon. The servants informed her that William had left early to take care of his โ€˜business.โ€™ As if she was a fool to believe them. He had taken his fastest horse again. The only reason for him to take that horse is so he can make it to Lisaโ€™s place faster than the regular horses.

Her own brother disgusted her. He never seeks her advice. Never takes it to mind. And that is what irritated her to an extent. But she canโ€™t lose hope. She trusts that her brother can be able to see the light. That salvation is still in his reach. If only Jane agrees. William will listen to her she was sure of it. Maybe not the first time. Maybe not the second. But in due time he will grow fond of her and finally he can be able to start acting like the person he was before the War. The thought was promising enough. Easier said than done. She wasnโ€™t even sure if Jane had remained or returned. Lillian glanced down at her untouched breakfast. She was not that hungry. Her appetite had been diminished ever since yesterday.

She sighed and pushed the plate aside.

โ€œYou did not approve of the breakfast this morning my lady?โ€ Their footman, Charles, said taking away the plate and placing it on the wooden pushing tray.

Surprised, Lillian blinked and shook her head almost immediately. โ€œOh no! It is not that. I just cannot find my appetite this morning,โ€

Charles was a young footman. Handsome with striking features. He was the grandson of their past footman, John. He had to leave for an errand and wonโ€™t be back for a couple of days. Charles was left behind to see to their needs. Because he had been trained by his skilled grandfather, he was the head butler of the entire household. Gifted with a hair that almost resembled midnight, his eyes was the brightest honey gold color she had ever seen. He was tall, almost the same height as her brother which was tall enough. He was tall, dark, and handsome. He also helps with the labors around the estate, the result made his skin take on a tan color. Most of the female genders of the Deโ€™Lacour townhouse ogle over him whenever he passes by.

Over time, Lillian told herself it is of no matter to her. No matter how handsome he may be, she will not let him affect her. It is improper for a lady of high class to fall in love with a commoner like him. And besides, she was sure he sees nothing in her. She ignored the stab of a sudden emotion in her stomach, making her stomach churn in an uncomfortable way.

โ€œWould you at least take a bite? It is not healthy for you not to eat. I am concerned about your health,โ€

The only reason why you are concerned for my health is because of the fortune you make under brotherโ€™s name. If he does not pay you, then you will just shove me aside. Like you shove away other ladyโ€™s hearts. That seem to focus mind off of him enough and she just raised her head, her back straight, shoulders erect. โ€œYou have no need to concern yourself in my well-being. I assure you if anything happens to me, you will not be blamed. You will still get your currency,โ€

His eyes darkened. She had a feeling if there was no one around her, he would have punched a hole in the wall. His jaw was set, other than that he said nothing. As the silence drifted between them, Lillian started tensing. It was going awfully too long. So when the double doors opened, she was thankful. Immediately, Charles rolled the cart away and headed toward the backroom, the door swinging behind him as his figure disappeared.

Jane stepped in, her gown different from last night. It was the pretty shade of light blue. To her relief, it wasnโ€™t a traveling gown. โ€œI had made my decision,โ€ She announced her voice ringing clear around the massive dining hall. โ€œI will remain,โ€
