Life slowly fell into place, Jaemin was back to being the silly rabbit and Haechan was slowly loosening up again. Mr Lee insisted in closing the case about his wife being murdered but the royal jury told other wise. Though Renjun appeared to be slightly disheartened at the fact that the blue head seemed as if he were hiding something from him. Them. Mark had made sure they stayed in Vancouver as long as they please and everything was pretty much back to normal. Haechan though avoided Taeyong and never even touched Sungchan. You can't blame him.

"Papa? What are you doing?" The Duchess skipped his way towards the adorable man unearthing carrots from the vegetable bed.

"As you can see getting your mother vegetables. Its nice to work only with him. Grandma Lee sent the rest home." Taeil smiled sweetly and the Pudu giggled nodding.

"Must I pull these turnip's? Can't we have potatoes for lunch instead?" Jisung whined from a distance.

"Your knee is hurt. Go along now. I'll take over." Giggled the brunette as he slapped the tall boys butt away.

Grandma sighed, she could see Marks marriage life slipping away even though they didn't have witch brewing darkness over their head. Mark missed his little one so much that he wished their baby was born perhaps then he would be noticed. Wouldn't he? He hated thinking negative thoughts but something made him feel like his wife was better off without him.

"Hyung? You okay?" Jaemin came in with the Dukes afternoon tea.

"Yeah. Just piled up with work." Mark smiled at Jaemin.

"She's gone so why don't you make the first move instead of sighing and being gloomy. Mark he's a shy bean you know that." Jaemin smiled back at the Duke.

"Its been an year Na na. And he sometimes acts as if I'm not in the room. Gosh it's so stressful. Well how are your studies? Is Ten a good governess?" The dark haired man chuckled.

"Your mother? Killed Lisa. Didn't she?" Jaemin bit his lips making Mark look up from his books.

"How did you know?" Mark gasped frowning.

"I-I killed y-your mother." The blue haired boy stared at Mark, "I couldn't bare to see Haechan loose his mind. All of us were suffering, you, Haechan, Taeyong, Uncle Lee, grandma.........I stabbed her to death. A-And she told me she'd kill your baby if it had been born the way she killed Tens girl. So I asked Johnny and......and I didn't feel I did a bad thing. Hyung I tried to hide and bury my secrets deep. But I can't." Jaemin collapsed crying into his arms. For moments Mark remained like a frozen doll, his mind scattered at the information he had been enlighten by.

Mark got off his chair as he crouched on the floor and hugged the boys crying frame. True, a part of him certainly wanted to yell at the boy but then he found it hard to say that his mother didn't deserve to die. Jaemin cried so much into his chest and the male could only pat him and rub his back to console him.

"W-Whats h-happening here?" Haechans broken whisper made the blue head break free and run away.

"Are you seriously going to misunderstand us little one?" Mark looked at the younger in disbelief.

"I hate you!!" Saying so the brunette ran into their room. But before he could slam the door shut the Duke pushed through and locked the door.

"What's wrong with you?! Why would you misunderstand us?! I'm like his brother! Just because you push me away doesn't mean I'd go about cheating on you!" Mark shook Haechans shoulders violently.

"I did not misunderstand!! It hurt! I-I suddenly felt so jealous!! You haven't even touched my fingertips! Its been so long! My birthday passed, my coming out ceremony never happened, I'm alone, I'm......I'm......Why? Why don't you love me anymore!!" Haechan shouted at Mark, he was never the one to cry but here he balled his eyes out.

"You were the one avoiding me!! It was Jaemin." Snapped Mark and mumbled the rest.

"I know......." Haechan sniffled. "I knew all along. He killed Mrs Lee for me. Yuta hyung told me, Everyone on this palace knows, except Renjun and the girls. He was afraid to tell you but he did. He wasn't taken to courts since, there were no witnesses." Haechan bit his lips. And smiled faintly. Jaemin was his hero.

"Well he did nothing wrong anyways. Now excuse me." Said Mark leaving.

From that afternoon Mark gave Haechan the cold shoulder, which only attracted the Pudu to his husband for avoiding his graceful presence. Purposely wearing teeny tiny shorts and a loose cropped t shirt that was torn on the shoulders for fashion so that his flawless golden skin and cherry like pink nipples would show.

"Now this......is what I missed. Happiness." Jaemin giggled and Grandma winked at him.

"Umm.....Hyuckie come sit here!!" Jeno made Haechan sit on the opposite couch so the view would be HD for Grand Duke Mark Lee.

"I'm rich enough for you to wear proper clothes Donghyuck." Mark deadpanned at his revealing wife.

"But my skimpy outfits made you talk to me honey." Sassed the baby Pudu. Mrs Lee had been long forgotten by many.

"Whatever!" Mark rolled small eyes at the boy who sat crossing his legs on the couch so the view for the Duke seemed rather very distracting.

"I'm trying to watch a movie?" Renjun rolled his eyes and started laughing as everyone joined the laugh. Perhaps killing Mrs Lee was that bad after all. She served no purpose in their lives though.

"How about we send these two on a second honeymoon?" Ten wickedly grinned at the baby Pudu trying to act all hot but Mark wasn't falling for him.

"Nice." Grandma joined the smirking as life slowly went back to normal. With peaceful surroundings and life.
