Margarita Frost 2

Party 3

"Ahhhhhh!"
Slap***

Julia, a slightly chubby girl didn't even try to move away her face when she saw the hand hitting her.

Her ear are ringing and her cheeks are hot and painful but she let it go since the 'lecture' is not over yet.

"Why? How can such a disgusting woman insulted me?" She grabs Julia's hair tightly and shakes her and in the end pushes her away.

Julia, lost her balance and fall down disgracefully as her feet raised up in the air and she struggled to stand up due to the bulky dress.

The Marquise disgustingly glares at her.
"Useless! Useless!"
She hated seeing this woman. A constant reminder that her husband cheated on her.

She walks away leaving the hurt Julia.

Julia finally stood up with the help of a maid.
She slowly stands up and walk to the stairs.

"Julia!"

Julia turns around and see Marquis Garnet.

Julia bows her head.
Looking at the bruise in her cheek,the Marquis frowns and then reach to his pocket.
He gave her a small box and happily smiles at her.

"Look, I bought you a diamond ring, isn't it pretty?"

Julia nods.
"Thank you father."

"Good. Go back to your room and sleep."

"Yes Father."
Julia smiles happily.

After she closes the door.
Her close Nanny hugs her tight.

"What did they do to you again? You poor girl."

Julia dropped the diamond ring box and hugs her Nanny.
"5 more years. I will be after 5 years." She smiles and rubs the head of the Nanny that she loves the most.

Nobody will like a fatty girl.
Especially a girl who is not favored by her family.

This is Julia's determination to leave the Marquis family at the age of 18.

This is the reason why a young girl like her who knows the importance of appearance and beauty in the society is fat and always timid.

Yet somehow, she only regretted looking ugly when she was in the presence of Young Duke Frost.

"What if Young Duke Frost ask Lady's hand?" The Nanny asks while combing her hair.

Julia chuckles.
"Nanny, do not say something impossible. Young Duke Frost is very kind but look at me. How am I compare to him?"

"But Miss! If you lose some weight and dress nicely, you will be very beautiful. You can even be as beautiful as Young Miss Frost!"

Julia's face reddened.

"In your eyes I am invincible!" She teased the nanny with a grin.

"Miss, If only you are not born in this house..You will be the most beautiful. You don't need to overeat and choose mismatched clothes."

Julia didn't say anything.
She looks at the mirror.
Her cheeks are swollen and red obviously.
But in the eyes of her father they are non-existent.

She can never ask for love or approval.
She will just live away...far away from them.

"But you know Nanny,As a girl, I do dream of a man...who will choose to love me."

The Nanny hugs her.
"Of course. Ofcourse."

Julia stares at her own eyes and wonder if in the Young Duke's eyes....is she also ugly or beautiful?
Because he is the kindest man she ever seen in her life.
Though she knows it is not right.
She wanted to dream in her heart.

A dream where he will come and ask her hand in marriage and she can finally leave the hellish Garnet family.
