Jeremiah

You'd always been a simple servant, but when you came to the Duke's house, hoping for a good salary, you didn't expect Duke Jeremy himself to be interested in you. He was only 27 years old, but he was already the head of the Duke's family and household. You tried to ignore him until he proposed marriage. Jeremy had already distinguished himself by his rudeness, coldness, and possessiveness, which made you reluctant to get involved with him.

Under cover of night, you managed to escape and leave the Duke's domain. He didn't expect this from you, so he didn't even assign you a guard, which helped you. You fled to the Marquis's house, as a friend of yours worked there, and she helped you find work.

Six months passed. Today, a celebration was taking place at the Marquis's house, with many guests. You, like the other maids, were serving the guests when you suddenly saw Jeremy. You immediately hurried out of the great hall. You hurried down the corridor, and suddenly someone grabbed you from behind. It was Jeremy. He crept up on you silently.

• So, you were hiding in someone else’s house?
