Villa in Marduque Mountains,

She still felt like she's in prison. Eloiza wanted to leave the villa for a while and have a nice shopping, drink with friends. But unfortunately, they can't leave the villa. All she did was to please herself if she got bored or call her boyfriend. But recently, he became distant and she heard from the news that he's currently pursuing Lady Harriet of Astera. She cringed. No one else would marry her after what happened. 

"When can we leave this villa?" Eloiza slouched on the sofa interrupting her father and brother's discussion. "I am tired of this and we can't even get any spa in here." 

"Stop acting like a brat, Eloiza. We are in this condition because of you." 

Eloiza snorted and rolled her eyes. 

"It was all your suggestion. Besides, I didn't know that he would choose her as the Duchess of Marduque. He's completely blind to marrying a commoner." 

"You were just unlucky to stay still with Belmont," Paul said to piss her off. 

"Dad!" 

"Shut it, the two of you! We are lucky that we stay in a villa rather than in that cold jail. Both of you should be grateful to Vince because he did all of this for us and you, Eloiza. If he got married to someone else, then stay as his mistress. This is one way to survive Eloiza, with or without money." 

"So, are we bankrupt now?" She asked. "How about mom?" 

"Your mother should stay in Kennedy to go on with the business. I am executing a plan to go on with business. We won't go bankrupt unless they take everything from us." Roman reached his head and sighed. "You need to stay hidden and do anything that would make you fun but there are limits. You know our limits now, Eloiza. We need to stop collecting nails and other things. Okay?" 

"Yeah, whatever." She said and rolled her eyes. She stood and went back to her room and slammed the door. 

She reached her computer and searched about the Duchess of Marduque. She frowned after one of the paparazzi leaked that the Duchess is pregnant. Ever since they were young, she had an eye on Maverick but then, when he disappeared, Vince was there with her and she fell in love with him. But the fact didn't change that she wanted the Duke. However, seeing Maverick become furious toward her sent shivers through her body and it feels good for her. 

"He's even sexier when he's angry." She smiled lovingly, and the look in her eyes looked more like evil mixed with devious happiness. 

 

Katarina was humming a wedding song while fitting her dresses. Her current suitor even sent her more white dresses that would be perfect for a mini wedding. Her mother entered with a big smile. 

"Who was that man?" Dana asked. 

"Count Gordon," Katarina smirked at her. "We hit it off last night. Jason saw us and he asked me to marry him." 

"That's good. Count Gordon?" Dana thought for a while and shrugged. "If he's a Count, then why not?" 

"He's rich too." Katarina shrugged. "He might spoil me more than Jason could." 

"That's nice." Dana reached her cheek. "You must aim for wealth since your grandmother seemed to leave you out when it comes to the testament."

"I have savings." Katarina rolled her eyes. "But it's not enough to live like a Princess, mother." 

"Why won't you search for a job?" 

"Job?" She snorted. "Yeah sure, maybe in our family company?" 

"You need to do well, Katarina." Dana shrugged. "If you become the Count's wife you should also know about business and how to handle it. You have a lot of suitors too, and that's because you got that beauty from me." 

Katarina smiled and hugged her mother. 

"Of course, mommy." 

Katarina smirked thinking that she got above Victoria again. She got suitors lined up in front of her but Victoria has none. She might have got suitors but all of them were losers. She was just lucky to marry a beggar that turned out to be the Duke of Westeria and the Crown Prince of the Country. 

"Dinner will be ready soon. Dress up well. We will be dining with your grandmother and cousins." 

"She's already back? Grandma?" 

"Yes, she just got discharged today. She's completely fine now." 

Katarina chose the most beautiful white dress in her eyes for her grandmother. She takes a bath, puts on light make-up, and is beautiful enough to charm them. She then remembered how Victoria charmed their grandmother with that kind smile. She can do it. She's kind in everyone's eyes but maybe not in others. 

She came down to the dining table a little late and she curtsied to her grandmother who only glanced at her. She was disappointed but she sat down. She knows that everyone is looking at her indifferently because of what happened. They praised Victoria now that she's the Duchess of Westeria and Crown Princess. 

They sat down and ate quietly. No one raises any questions or opens up any topic. It's the most awkward dinner that has ever been in this house. Mostly, they make fun of Victoria or her husband for being rags. She was happy about that but this time, they were glaring at her. She never felt a humiliation like this in her life. 

"So, who was the man who drove you home?" Bailey asked strictly. 

"It's Count Tristan Gordon." She mumbled and everyone looked at her. She smirked at the back of her head. "He said that he wanted to court me." She shrugged. "We met at the party last night." 

"Hmm," Bailey thought deep. "Where is he right now? Why didn't you invite him?" 

"He has a business out of the country," Victoria said. "He's assisting the Duke and Duchess of Westeria." 

Everyone made different faces but she remained calm and composed. 

"We will discuss this after I meet him personally." 

"He wants to marry me." She said again as the Baroness glared at Katarina. 

They haven't found anyone that would marry her but then she found someone much better already and also in politics. 

 

Etrama Mansion, Spania

Currently, Victoria helped with preparing foods for the Prince of Spania and with his wife. Count Tristan and Kenzo were already entertaining them then, Victoria and Vivien were organizing the gazebo where they set up the lunch. 

"This is beautiful." Princess Amber, the Crown Princess of Spania smiled at the flower tea that beautifully opened up like a floor blooming in spring after pouring hot water on it. 

"We have a collection for it, your highness." Victoria smiled and took out the special box and showed it to her. "This is my gift for you." 

"I should have this on every good occasion," Amber said and accepted the gift as she bowed her head. "You are so kind, Duchess Victoria." She accepted the gift and smiled. 

"The Marchioness was the person who personally grew these flowers in her garden." 

Amber eyes widened and she stood and curtsied to the Marchioness as the Marchioness curtsied and bowed her head. 

"Thank you for this beautiful gift, Marchioness Vivien." 

"It's a pleasure, your highness." 

"It seems that our wives get along well, your grace." Prince Miguel said with a big smile. "We should have dinner tonight at the castle. My father wanted to dine with you, your wife, and the Marchioness. He always spoke about Marchioness Vivien and her successful business." 

"My business wouldn't be successful if it wasn't for my husband, your highness." She said in a very down-to-earth way. "You are free to visit the Tea House anytime, your highness." 

"Please join us." The Prince said as the Princess sat down. "How about you, Sir Tristan. What business do you have?" 

"I am currently opening a Cruise Ship. Our family builds yachts, boats, and now cruises." 

"That's amazing," Victoria commented as Tristan's ears flushed a little bit and he bowed his head to show respect. 

"You are free to visit any time of your grace," Tristan said, one of his ways to invite her. "We also have few restaurants and we mostly harvest Caviar." 

"I heard." Kenzo bounced his head. "Caviar was quite expensive." 

"Indeed, I have someone to deliver the Caviar here that comes from Iranian Albino Beluga sturgeons. It will be delivered later." 

"That's amazing then! We could have it later." Prince Miguel clapped his head in excitement. 

"I only eat Caviar one time." She said, "When a friend of mine from high school treats us." 

Tristan stared at her for a while. She didn't recognize him. Didn't she? She might also forget about that friend from high school. It's not that long but did she forget him?

"What's his name?" Kenzo asked. She squinted her eyes a bit. 

"I think he said his name as Tris." She shrugged.

"You said that he's your friend?" Princess Amber said. 

"Yes, uhm. It just turned out to be a short friendship and we didn't see each other after that." 

"Hmm," Kenzo nodded his head. "We should find that friend of yours to thank him." 

Tristan didn't expect that they would speak about him. He thought that Kenzo would get jealous but he was rather kind. Too kind.. He thought that he could see his dark side and dark attitude toward Victoria but he failed.
