She turned and wanted to run and the train started to moved. her brain was working really hard should she escape or stay? but if she were to escape where should she go? she cant jump off the train, it will hurt herself and she will need a doctor and she will need money.
"Brigitta, if i were you, i will just sit down and enjoy this beautiful cabin, instead of having all the silly thoughts." the duke said "jumping off the train is certainty not a very good idea and as a guardian i do not wish you to do that." he said and poured himself a glass of champaign. "Mr Rubin, Miss Brigitta is going to stay with me in this cabin, i will fetch you when you are needed. thank you."
she turn to him and stare at him. there was a sight with a mixture of anger and fear. she was so lost, she didnt know what should she do.
"Sit" He commanded
she obey him and sat down in a conner that is near to the cabin door. She thought that it will be easier for her to escape if anything happened.
"Why are you still having the silly thoughts?" He asked
"What thought are you referring to... Sir.."
"Escaping." He said and smiled "There is no way for you to run until we reached London. i am quite certain that it will be a fairly long journey please make yourself comfortable"
"I will throw you a ball and parties." He said "I apologize for my absence in these years."
"You forgot about me. didnt you?" she asked quietly
"I afraid i have to said yes. and im extermly sorry about that." He said after a deep breath "As you know im very busy with my career in India... I am really sorry Brigitta." he missed something he thought. he was in France for the last two weeks with his mistress.
"The maids told me you were in France a few weeks." She said quietly
"I am sorry.. whhhat did you just say?"
"You were with your French mistress in France." She made it even clearer
"Ohh...The maids told you that?" He asked
"yes, sir."
"How.."
"How do they know? they know a lot about you sir." she said with a disgusted sight "they even knew that you stay over at Mrs Watson place while her husband was away."
"Umhp.." He was shocked and coughed instantly.
"Piece of advise sir, if you dont want anyone to know about it. dont do it." She said and shut her eyes to rest.
This is what always happened in the society. Beauties asked for attention from some handsome and successful man besides their own husband. Is very common, however he wouldnt like Brigitta to know all of this.
_____________________________________
London, the busy streets, cars, carriages, ladies with beautiful dress and men with smart suits. Brigitta was so fascinated and cant stop herself from instant putting her head out of the window.
"Brigitta, i suggest you to sit down, everyone is staring at you. is indecent." Said the duke
"Yes, sir." She replied and sat down decently
"Mr Rubin, please inform everyone that im throwing a party at my mansion tonight for Brigitta the daughter of Earl of Derby"
"Very well, your grace."
"and Brigitta, when you are referring to people like me, a duke, you dont use the word Sir but Your Grace." He said "And i want you to remember that. in a matter of fact you actually have to remember that."
"Mr Rubin please do send Brigitta some grown for the party tonight." He said "brigitta this is a small party to introduce you to the social world, and i will have a Ball when you are ready. got me?"
"Yes, si.. Your Grace."
"Very well." he answered "the first thing you are expected to do is to changed your toned grown into a a new grown and join me for luncheon."
"yes, You Grace." she said and she thought "what else can i do expect for obeying? what a devil."
"Brigitta, do not fall for someone easily. you are well aware that your dad has left a huge fortune of money for you. there are fortune hunters that looks like a rich decent man out there. I am not asking you to but i ant you to tell me, who you laid your eyes on and you need my permission to see anyone. understood?"
"I understand, your grace." devil.. devil.. devil...
they have arrived the mansion. Is not as huge as the one in the country, however is looks expensive.
"Brigitta listen to me and obey my orders." he said "You dont know what is good for you. you are too young to know." he said and walked up to his room.
the maid walked her to her room. she open the curtains and she saw Warwick square and the beauties and gentlemen walking around. Oh.. she is in love with London, she thought.
"Miss Brigitta, his grace asked you to take a quick bath and join him in the garden for lunch."
"Very well." orders! obey! what is wrong with him? Im not his armies in India.
______________________________
"Finally you are here." He said "I hope to hear a valid reason for your fashionable timing."
"Your grace, you did not state what time should i be here. what you have told me was to have a quick bath and join yo for lunch." She said "So im not late."
"Young lady, this is not the right way to talk to me. even if im not your guardian i am still someone with a social status."
"..." she really hoped that she can pour the lemonade on his face. he is so annoying.
"I hope you will enjoy the party tonight." He said
"certainly, your grace."
"Brigitta, your dad has given me a position that i am force to be firm to you. i hope you understand. im not a devil like you thought. However, you are far too young to realized what is right and wrong." He said and stared at her with his dark eyes.
His has a lot of secret in his eyes. she can feel it. and it's so attractive. she has to admit he has a handsome face and she can easily tell why is everyone so crazy about him.
"Brigitta!" He cried
"Yes? your.. grace?"
"Why are you staring at me?" he asked
"No.. i thought you have a pair of beautiful eyes."
"Thank you." he said "please also do remember im your guardian." he is making it very clear to her that do not fall in love with him.
