Many acknowledge her to be a failure, who went from her higher place to a lower place. Many pity her because she is a young lady who lost her husband, and few fear her because none of what they think of her is true.The ride stopped, and the door opened while Victoria grinned and stepped down. Take a glimpse of the mansion in front of her, a place once called her house until her parents discarded her.Marry her to a man she never loved, all because of power. And shocking that is one of the reasons she came back, for power and love.To conquer Avis."Well, well, well, look who is here. The almighty Mrs Victoria Fearington or I guess not since your husband is dead. You can't be called Mrs Fearington either miss, how sad. You must still be grieving, my dearest. I understand, how you feel....""Insolent" Victoria disgraced, cutting her father Mistress Dorcas short. She turned to the servants in front of her."Take my stuff to my old room, and take some gifts to my mother, They are from th

"This isn't what I foresaw today to be, he isn't supposed to be here watching you selecting your wedding attires. It was meant to be a surprise, how is he going to be mesmerized by your beauty when he has already seen everything" Imogen complained, as she looked back and rolled her eyes at Carter, who was walking behind them with a few guards.Aria gleamed, she was delighted that Carter was here with her, even if it wasn't as her lover but as Imogen's guard. She is still pleased, but it makes no sense if he has seen everything they are going to use for the wedding dress."But it isn't like we can push them away, he is here under the lord's order to protect you""From what? Am just his mistress, not his wife, and yet I have more guards than I need. It isn't like my life is in danger, I don't understand why I have to go around with these guards. It is frustrating""I guess that is the price you have to pay for being his mistress, I heard the news has spread around every region in the ki

Aria wrung her hands restlessly, trailing behind Carter. The silence between them stretched awkwardly since they left Imogen's room, and it churned a knot in her stomach. She wished he would yell at her for being reckless and leaving without protection; it would almost be comforting compared to this suffocating silence. What if this incident put a rift between them? Or worse, what if he decided to call off the wedding? The mere thought sent a wave of panic through her.Furrowing her brow, she called out his name, which made him stop in his tracks. “I was wrong; just yell at me instead…” Her words caught in her throat as Carter stepped closer and enveloped her in a tight embrace.“I was scared something terrible might have happened to you, and I wouldn’t be able to protect you,” he confessed, irritation flickering in his eyes. “If you hadn’t come back…” He paused, a bitter expression crossing his face as he remembered the "what ifs."“So you aren't angry at me?” Aria questioned, her e

She was petrified, at the awareness of the bottle in front of her hand. She hasn't poisoned Imogen yet. She had many chances but did nothing and what scared her more, was that Lucien wouldn't be patient for long, if she didn't do anything soon then her son would die.Her poor baby. Poppy doesn't mind dying, but if her son does then she will be damned.Still, she can't kill Imogen. A knock came on her door, and she jumped out of her bed and hid the bottle under her pillow."Come in," She said and Aria entered with a smile on her face."I apologize for disturbing you, I know how busy you are, preparing for the wedding but Lady Imogen requested to see you" "It is alright" Poppy faked a smile, it isn't ok, every time she sees Imogen, makes her feel sad that her son could be in danger because she can't harm Imogen."Let's go," Aria said and she followed her to Imogen's room. They got to the room, and the guard standing in front of the door gave Poppy a strange look before allowing her in.

Freya looked at the dresses placed on her bed, with a whiff of doubt. Bianca has picked those dresses as a part of their seduction plan and to her surprise, it doesn't look inappropriate as she thought they will be.Maybe it wasn't a bad idea after all, but yet she isn't certain about this so-called plan. What if things go wrong and the prince hates her more? What if? She can't stop thinking about what if this plan spoils everything. "You are doing it again?" Bianca called her attention to it, and Freya cleared her throat."I am just nervous, are you positive no one knows about our plan? If the gossips travel that the Princess is trying to seduce the prince, I will be looked upon as a disgrace" Freya said and Bianca shook, putting her mind to rest."It is late, you should change to one of these" Bianca suggested, and when to Freya's wardrobe and bring out a revealing night garment which make Freya's eyes enlarged."Where did you get this? There is no way the royal tailor will make t
