The horses softly swiped their hoofs across the pavement, outside the gates of the Monterrey mansion. The carriage weighed down a little, as the coachman got down and proceeded to opening the carriage door for the guests.Charlotte already stood at the entrance, her hands trembling and sweaty as she slightly palmed her hands on her gown. She was all nervous smiles, because deep down she wanted this alliance to be secured more than anything.She didn't know for how long the Monterrey mansion would continue to run with the expenditures lowering each day, due to hers and Olivia's reckless spending to still remain relevant in society. And, Charlotte didn't want to live the life of some poor man's wife. So, this was her chance at getting this alliance for Olivia.Viscount Lamington, and his wife, Lady Lamington stepped down from the carriage. They both looked splendid and divine in their respective attires. The Viscount looked every bit of the aristocrat, in an expensive tailored black tai

Kate headed back to Mirna, and Mirna couldn't help but stare at Dominic in the distance. The man still stared at Kate's retreating shadow. “Who is that man, Kate? He looks handsome.” Mirna mumbled, and Kate rolled her eyes. “He's some stranger obsessed with a passion that... at the moment he cannot fulfill due to a family obligation.” A sigh left Kate's lips. Dominic reminded her of herself. She wanted nothing more than to keep writing, but she only could do so in secret. “Anyways, Mrs Charlotte is upset now.” Mirna seemed a little agitated. “What happened?” Kate asked. “I don't know what happened or is happening. But apparently, the meeting with her important guests doesn't seem to be going very well at the moment. And she's ranting all over the house and calling for your name nonstop.” Mirna replied. Kate knew what would happen if Charlotte couldn't find her in time. “Then let's go, we have not a moment to waste.” Kate whispered, and they both rushed back to the mansion. On t

In an instant, the walls seemed to want to close in on Kate. She wondered hard why she had to be in such a predicament.Dominic still stood only on one knee, his eyes on her only, ignoring Olivia who was still present in the drawing room, and who not only felt humiliated in that moment, but also furious.Kate swallowed hard. Her eyes looked at Dominic, questioning why he would do something like this to her. And in an instant, she pulled her arm away from Dominic's.“I beg your pardon, My Lord. But.. but I can't do no such thing. Never.” Kate replied, all the while lowering her head. She felt ashamed, and wanted to disappear in that very moment.Dominic was surprised at first. But then told her. “I can make things easier for you, Kate. You only have to trust me...”“Don't force me, My Lord. I cannot get married to you. It is impossible.” Kate whispered with an urgency that she hoped Dominic would understand. But apparently he didn't so far.Olivia couldn't stand to witness Kate being t

Kate still felt crushed, her body heaving from continuous tears leaking right out of her swollen eyes.“Just wait right here, I'll go get a paper and an inkpot.” Mirna told her, and then left.Kate thought about what Mirna had said to her. And she was right. The only person who could help her right now was Harry. Only Harry understood her and he'd promised he will fight for her and make her dreams of becoming a famous writer come true. He even had her manuscript with her, and promised to reach out to a publishing house.Only less than nine months before Harry completed his school program in France. And Kate was more hopeful than ever right now. She wiped her tears, but the thought of not holding a book again, for at least some months, until Harry returned was going to be very difficult and tou

A few days had passed. A few days since the Monterrey household fell into a silent despair. A few days since no body had been brought back, and was only left to the imagination of everyone. As it stood, a missing child was more terrifying than a confirmed dead child. A few days since the future in which everyone had fondly and confidently talked about, had been snatched away completely in a single and dreadful revelation. The mansion had become a place of mourning. The curtains remained half-drawn, despite the burning sun in the afternoon, and the fire from the fireplace burned low. Mr. Collin remained in his bedroom, grieving terribly. As it stood, he had no more heirs. No one to further continue his legacy in his business. His elder son, Edmund was still missing for more than three years, and now Harry was also presumed dead, even though his body was yet to be found, but chances were slim as the current might have taken his body with him to God knows where.
