8

Cuff asks Duke to teach her to read and write to impress Zain. Walter, Duke's brother, is annoyed their mother still wants Duke as heir and that Viola prefers Duke over him, since Walter has a severe inferiority complex about being the younger brother. Viola visits Duke and encounters Cuff. She attempts to apprehend her as an intruder but is embarrassed when Rob sees her sat on top of another woman. During a snowstorm Alice reminisces about her first time at the mansion when Duke was younger, still depressed about his curse and would destroy entire rooms in the mansion from anger. At first he rejected Alice but having been his childhood friend she refused to leave him alone, so he set her a challenge, clean his bedroom he had destroyed in three days or be fired. Alice cleaned the room in a single night, so Duke ran away. After almost dying in the cold Alice found him and scolded him for trying to kill himself, knowing there would be people who would miss him, especially when she was alone and sick as a child he was the one who helped her feel better. Duke agreed to return to the mansion with her and realised he had begun to fall in love with her. (Source: Wikipedia)
