Second chance at happiness Do you dare to despise?
“No, Your Grace.” Harrison answered truthfully although his face was twisted with embarrassment. “We haven’t either.” Mira giggled “Come in… I will see what we have.” “No, Ma’am… we can’t possibly…” Harrison trembled at the thought of making his mistress cook for him. “Husband, they despise my cooking.” Mira pouted as she tugged Jack’s hand as they entered the front room. Jack looked at Mira causing mischief for no reason with a helpless yet affectionate gaze, but he couldn’t bear to see her pouting, so he turned his stern gaze back at the men “Do you dare to despise?” “Not on my life…” Everyone responded in unison and rushed to enter the front room and stood awkwardly. “That’s more like it.” Mira giggled shrugging happily as she ran to the kitchen. The men waited in attention in the front room while Jack followed his wife. Mira winked at Jack and took out the bread and some of the scrambled dry peasant from space and scrambled some eggs. She poured a jug of warm milk from the p
Second chance at happiness Let me see who dares.
Jack and Mira set off along with their personal entourage while the maids and men were busy cleaning the cottage getting it ready for the Wards. Old master Slegh along with his three sons and a few guards arrived at the Ward cottage around 9:30 in the morning. Joan too arrived along with Caster accompanied by Emma wearing a silk gown; It could be seen from her gown that she had received new favors from the Slegh’s. John and Beth along with Oden, Martin and Anne-Marie were gathered in the front room, anxiety written all over their faces. They didn’t know what to expect or what to do…. Neither John nor Beth thought they would live to see the day they were free men ever again. Although Oden and Martin were aware, they didn’t expect their dream to be a reality so soon. They were all dressed in the outfit they wore to yesterday’s event; this was their best outfit. The neighbors were all gathered around the cottage, some filled with jealousy while the others genuinely happy for their good
Second chance at happiness I never knew revenge felt so good.
“Let me see who dares.” The guards paused their steps as everyone looked towards the source of the ferocious roar. Jack and Mira walked forward with an entourage of knights; Harrison and Carl followed closely as well. Old master Slegh twisted his lips in displeasure as he saw the person who arrived; the people who he had trodden under feet were now riding in heights beyond his reach. Old master Slegh knew his station was way below that of the Duke and Duchess of Southamberston. Anne-Marie sighed in relief as she saw reinforcements arrive and ran to Mira’s side. Oden and Martin nodded gratefully towards Jack and Mira but were ignored. Mira hugged Anne-Marie comfortingly as she walked towards Beth. “Very well” Cain laughed sinisterly and ordered his men “Check the cottage for damage and other liabilities before this lot run away.” He was thoroughly angered by Jack’s arrogance. “That is a must.” Jack nodded as he ordered Carl “Mr West, please follow and document the condition of the
Second chance at happiness There is only one woman who could make him do what he doesn’t want to.
“I will follow you.” Martin didn’t have to think. He knew his current bounty was Jack’s benevolence. He had decided to follow Jack. “Me too.” Anne-Marie looked at her parents even though she had voiced support for Martin’s idea. “I don’t know.” John shrugged with a helpless expression “I don’t know what I want to do. I never thought I would live to see the day I would be free.” “When I was younger, I wanted to have my own cow and sheep to tend to…. I wanted to farm my land…. But…. I don’t know anymore.” “Is that all…” Mira laughed innocently before boasting “I will make sure you have all of the above.” “But you can’t leave us.” She pouted innocently as she held Beth’s hand. “What nonsense?” Beth shook her head as she patted her hand “Why would we leave you?” “Oden’s father, let’s follow the kids.” Beth turned towards John. “Alright.” John nodded. “That’s settled then.” Mira smiled brightly. “Not yet.” Anne-Marie shook her head as she turned her head towards Oden who was sitti
Second chance at happiness A man who came to ask for his sister’s happiness.
“Woman, aren’t you bothered by the fact that another woman lives in your husband’s heart?” Albert asked curiously. “Why should I be?” Ursula shrugged “He never told me he loved me… nor did we marry for love?” “Shouldn’t I be bothered if he didn’t love his wife?” Ursula quirked her eyebrows in ridicule. “Why did you marry him then?” Second brother, Alden looked extremely confused. “I fell in love with my bumble bee.” Ursula smiled showing her dimples, a rare smile that came from her heart. “I couldn’t bear the thought of my bumble bee having anyone else as her stepmother.” Ursula spoke naturally “We got along well, and she was very attached to me, so when Mr Marsden suggested we get married, I didn’t have to think twice.” “Why did he suggest that if he didn’t love you?” Alwyn knitted his brows. “He needed to be away from home for long periods of time to search for his friend and little Mira would be on her own. So….” Ursula didn’t complete the rest; she just waved her hands sugge
Second chance at happiness The man has no backbone or principles when it comes to his wife.
“An unwed single woman living in a household with a widowed man and daughter… you can guess the rumors.” Matthew pursed his lips “I wanted to let her leave, but Mira was too attached to her and she to Mira. I was selfish” Matthew shook his head regretfully “I asked her if she wanted to marry me to clear her name. I did tell her that my heart was too small, and it could only hold my wife.” “I told her that I would give her everything that was a wife’s due except my heart.” Matthew laughed regretfully “Little did I know this foolish woman would take that seriously to this day!” “She agreed without hesitation.” Matthew smiled in self- mockery “She told me that as long as she could have Mira as her daughter, she wouldn’t ask anything more of me and she had kept her word.” “I have wronged her terribly not just in the past but also recently.” Matthew shook his head in self-blame and retold the incident around Mira’s marriage. “You and us, both.” Cyrus too felt regretful. He played the jo

Harrison left two maids to help with at the manor and sent the rest back to Southamberston to get four cottages close to the Southamberston manor and all the apartments in the manor ready. “Since you all insist on staying…. I am not sure how to organize the living arrangements.” Mira knitted her brows as she thought of all the people left behind. “Nothing to it, Your Grace.” Harrison shrugged “We will all stay in the second cottage.” “What about the guards?” Mira pursed her lips in thought. “They have their own arrangement.” Harrison began to explain as he saw that Mira’s expression didn’t loosen “Ma’am, the guards always bring their tent along. Sometimes, we camp with them as well.” “But this is not for a day or two.” Mira frowned as she turned to look at Jack for a solution. “Your Grace, it really is not a problem.” Lazarus opened his mouth in a timely manner. “We are used to it and works better for us.” “We will have to trouble Your Grace to provide us with space to raise two
Second chance at happiness A gentleman’s honour is not joke.
“A gentleman’s honor is not joke.” Stranton declined with a serious expression and then chuckled “I am waiting for the storm… this is just a breeze.” “Alright then…” Mira laughed and didn’t insist. She handed five gold coins to the attendant who helped her. “This….” The attendant had a constipated expression as she looked between the gold coins and her boss’s face. “Don’t decline the duchess generosity on my account.” Stranton laughed lightly in good manner. “Thank you… thank you my lady.” The attendant happily received the gold coins and waved them goodbye. “Where to next?” Jack teased as he sat inside the carriage with Mira looking at all the boxes piled in front. “Aldrin’s” “Um” Aldrin was not at the shop like usual, but his shop assistant was familiar with Mira and left her to her devices. She gathered a basket full of threads, silk and metallic threads, round and marquise shaped pearls, reflective circular disc and column pieces in different shades needed for the different
