His Butler, The Past.

A/N: Terribly sorry for the late updates. Marching band & theater have been murdering me lately. 😂 Anyways, message me or comments your suggestions/views/thoughts. It really helps. Anyways, proceed.

Elizabeth's P.O.V.

In all honesty I was not surprised by Ciel's actions. When we were younger, he had almost hit me, the only thing that stopped him then was Sebastian. I had forgiven him instantly.

Violent thoughts like those don't just disappear. I can't say I'm surprised, just very upset. Normally when he yells or something, I just forgive him.

But not today.

It's not about me. It's about our son. What if Ciel were to lie a finger on him? Hit him. Vincent is half and half demon, who knows how much it would effect him.

I sighed. Currently I was staying in town, in one of the many houses my parents left for my brother and I. Ciel didn't know much about them so there really wasn't a need to worry.

I forced myself to stop crying, and began to unpack.

One Month Later.

I sat down at my desk, swallowing what felt like a rock. Tears filled my eyes but I pushed them back.

I picked up the pen and began to write. When I finished, I let out a long sigh.

Dear Ciel,

Even though it's been a while I would like to meet with you. I want you to see Vincent, you're his father after all. I also think that you and I need to talk.

- Love, Lizzy.

I received a reply that same day to my surprise.

Dear Lizzy,

I miss you and our son greatly. I am so sorry for what I did. I love you. I regret it so much. Even though its only been a month, it feels like an year has passed.

I had to take a pause at the feeling of tears in my eyes. If I cried over a letter, meeting him in person would just kill me.

I'd like for you to come over today with Vincent at four. I hope that would be fine. I really hope that what happened doesn't result in a divorce. If not, I understand.. But I really want to see you two. So please come over today. I hope to see you soon.

-Yours truly, Ciel.

I looked at the letter and sighed. Was it a mistake to write to him? Should I just have left for good?

No, I love him. I miss him. I doubt I could ever truly leave, and if I did.. My heart would always belong to him.

I looked at my wedding ring which still was on my finger, burning a hole through my heart at just the sight. He's still my husband, my heart still beats for him but maybe that isn't enough... But my son still needs his father.

I bit my lip and mentally made my decision.

Surprise is the closest word to describe the look on Ciel's face when I was outside of the study.
