Satine was at the Duke's door. Her heart pounding in her chest. "You have
to do this, you have to." She tried to reassure herself. She then lifted
her hand and reluctantly lifted her hand, and knocked on the door. When she
did this her mind was filled with flashes. Flashes of Christian. Them first
meeting, declaring their love to each other, making love. Flashes of what
her life would be, raising her now unborn child with the Duke. Flashes of
what her life could be like; her, Christian, and their baby.
"I can't do this." She them turned around and started to walk down the stairs, but stopped when the Duke opened the door, "Ah.Satine, what a pleasant surprise."
Satine then spun around, putting on a fake smile for the Duke. "Oh, I uh, thought you were not here." " Well actually I was just on my way to see you."
Satine raised an eyebrow. "Oh really?"
"Well yes, Marie told me the good news."
Satine was confused. "What?"
"That you my lovely are having my baby." He then put his hand on her stomach. She flinched away.
"She did. Well, yes, yes I am. I, uh have to go." She then quickly turned around and left before the Duke could even reply. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________ Satine barged into Marie's room. "Marie!"
Marie turned around. "Satine, calm down, what's the matter?"
"You, you told the him."
Marie looked at Satine straight in the eye. "Yes. I had to. I knew you were not going to."
"You had no right to tell him. What exactly did you tell him?"
"I told him a lie of course. That it wasn't his."
This confused Satine. "I just talked to him...he said you told him it was his."
Marie shook her head. "No, I old Christian the lie that it wasn't his."
Satine ran up to Marie and harshly grabbed her by the shoulders. "You told Christian?!?"
"Yes, that's who we are talking about."
"No, I as talking about the Duke!" " Well I told him it was is."
Satine put a hand to her forehead, turned around and said in a voice just above a whisper. "What else did you tell Christian?"" " I told him that he should leave, because you had decided to stay, and raise your baby, with the rightful father, the Duke."
"How could you lie to him that way?"
" Because I new you couldn't!"
Satine turned around and looked at Marie. She gave her a look of complete hatred. She then turned around, walked out, and slammed the door.
