City of London, 1700.In the busy city of London, carts filled with fruits and vegetables, goods, wines and people rolled past the stone way streets in the middle of the market here and there... In the front yard of a huge brown house that stood majestically beside the street was a seated girl who was rethinking and reliving her past and going over her plan for the umpteenth time for any glitch in it.There must be no slight mistake in any way and her plan must be carried out smoothly."Are you okay, My Lady?" A young lady albeit 20 years dressed in worn out pale green rough corset asked looking down at the brunette sitting on the floor with her leg tucked safely under her brown corset whose condition was no better than hers staring at the garden of flowers in front of her.By her side was a rake lying down with a pile of yellow maple leaves shed from the Silver Maple Tree not too far from them. Even though the maple leaves have been gathered in a pile there were still litters of it

Constance had been sold for debt to Letitia's family at the young age of 5, not long after Letitia had lost her mother to the cruel cold embrace of death. Or perhaps in the correct form, fire.The young girl who had recently lost her mother did nothing but cry and sleep. It was without saying that Letitia was closer to her mother than her father.The day Constance was brought to their house was the day she stepped out of her room briefly for the first time after her Mother's death.Her Father had tried to convince her so many times to come out of her room and take fresh air but she declined politely.If her Father pestered her too much, she would resort to silence.On the day she stepped out was the day Constance had been brought to their house. She was passing by their luxurious sitting room in her white grievance dress when she saw her father talking to a crying couple. From the little words her ears could catch, the couple had owed her father a huge sum of money and we're planning

It was all over. She could as well go and pack her luggage if she had one, from their room and leave the house immediately.But she couldn't do it. The men in the same room as her were very terrifying, their eyes were watching her every move like a hawk watching over a baby chick!And also her butt was hot that she felt it would swell but could she even raise a voice of unfairness? Who was she?In addition to the fact that she was a maid, she was a woman! A woman who had nothing to her name. A woman below the social ranks in society.In this life she had come, she knew she-SLAP!Her thought was interrupted by her fair skin meeting with the smooth and soft palm of Doris. Constance held her cheeks feeling tears threatening to fall anytime soon.It was to be expected. She knew this was coming. She looked up into the livid angry eyes of Doris and as she raised her head, slowly and shamefully, she returned it to the bowing position.This calamity was bound to fall on her the moment she op

"What happened to your lips?" Farrell asked when they were settled in the living room of his quarters.It was safe to say the Waters were wealthy. They, as well, belonged to the upper class family. If the King wanted to throw a ball, they would most certainly be invited.Letitia sighed letting down the cup from the mouth. She dropped it on the saucer with a clink before she immediately have an apologetic smile to Farrell.She was supposed to drop it with the lowest sound ever but she had dropped it with a clink. It was with no etiquette at all. She hadn't behave like a lady at that moment."You know I don't care. You can be yourself in front of me. Now tell me, where did you get that cut on your lips?" Farrell said instead impatiently."It's nothing. Don't fret so much over this little wound," Letitia replied with a wave of her hand.Farrell eyed the wound for a moment before he looked up to glare at her. She grinned at him and tucked her lips into her mouth making Farrell sigh helple

Once a confused Letitia, a fearful Constance and a stone faced Mateo reached the coach, the door was opened almost immediately.Letitia who was staring down at her feet was thinking and so she had no idea everyone was waiting on her right at that moment."My lady?" Constance called in a shaky breath.Letitia tilted her head instead of answering her maid. Or perhaps since Constance literally breathed out, she didn't hear anything."My lady?" Mateo called in a much louder and stronger voice which finally got her attention.She turned her head to their direction and blinked at them before looking at their surrounding."Who? Me?" She questioned pointing at herself."Yes. You." A voice came from behind her and she whipped her head around to see Rowan looking at her.She blinked at him before she decided she couldn't talk to him as he was going to be her master. And so, she turned her head back to it's original position to face Mateo."Whatever is the problem?" She questioned and Mateo bli
