THIRD PERSON POV

"How dare you take away my son's title! Without him, you wouldn't be able to produce your next heir to the Hawthorne ducal house! We were kind enough to let our eldest son take your last name! But is this how you repaid his sacrifices?! Do you know how humiliating it was for our family that my eldest son decided to take his wife's last name?!" An older woman screamed at the top of her lungs to a noble lady who didn't even care about the ruckus in front of her.

"Geoffrey's title was given to him by yours truly. I have every right to give and take away anyone's title. It is you that has no right to asked the reason behind my action. Let me get something straight; it was your son who decided to file for the divorce. Not me. According to imperial law, I have every right to chase you out from my estate."

Camille Hawthorne sneered at her former mother in law. The older woman slammed her hand on Camille's table.

"You wench! How dare you smeared my son's name like that! Whatever you said, we have every right to take the children away from this monstrous estate! You can't hold us back from care to our grandchildren." Camille raised an eyebrow at the older woman's words.

"After what had happened between your son and me, you still dare to ask for any right to MY children? How are you so confident? I admire your ways of living your life, viscountess Ambrose. But, even so, let me tell you one crucial information regarding any rights to MY children. Geoffrey has never care about them. All he cares about is his lust for younger women. To be honest, viscountess, our children were conceived when he was either drunk or angry at something. There was never an ounce of love." Camille stood up from her seat.

"I suggest that you leave this estate before I ask my butler to escort you out by force. I have a lot of work to do. I am a duchess after all. I have responsibilities and duty to do for my people and the imperial family." Hawthorne family butler didn't wait for his master's order when he grabbed hold of the viscountess by the arm.

"Let me go! How dare you touch a noble with your filthy hands! You will regret this, Camille! So what if you're the duchess! There are still people that stands above you! I will get my grandchildren out from this monstrous estate! They will never be a decent noble if they live under your teaching! You're just a facade wearing a human skin! YOU'RE A MONSTER!" The butler closed the door when he managed to get the viscountess out from the duchess's private study.

"Me? A monster? If I have to comment on that, your son was the true monster. I was only 17 when he forced himself on our wedding night. But after 15 years of marriage, he finally decided to call it off just because he's fallen for a far younger woman than me. He chooses to left his children for this woman. Should I let my children take that man as an example? I think not." Camille turned to eye the beautiful scenery outside her estate.

"My children are the future generations that will carry this family name. Why should I let a third-ranking noble house such as the Ambrose household to care for them? My marriage between Geoffrey was nothing but political. We consummated just because it's what our parents wanted. But even so, there is a good thing that came from this nightmare. My children are my life." Camille smiled at she saw the carriage which carried the viscountess leave her estate.

"Make sure that something like this never happened in the future. I hate dealing with anyone related to my ex-husband. Send them away if they wish to see me. And if they persist, just use force to chase them away. I am duchess Camille Hawthorne. They have no right to demand anything from me." The butler nodded as he bows his head low.

"As you wish, your grace."

The butler began to clear out Camille's table placed a new set of documents for the duchess to look through.
