SUBSTITUTE BRIDE FOR THE MARAZONA HEIR [ Series]
I was kneeling in the center of it, barefoot, damp, exhausted, dressed in one of Mirabella’s old faded house gowns with bleach stains across the hem, looking less like family and more like the servant Rosalina constantly reminded me I was.
“Oh, calm down, honey.” Rosalina’s voice flowed like silk dipped in poison. “No one is marrying you off to a dead man. I would never do such a horrible thing to my daughter.”
A small laugh followed.
Soft.
Controlled.
Cruel.
My scrubbing slowed.
I lifted my eyes just enough to see Rosalina seated elegantly on the velvet couch, one leg crossed over the other, a glass of red wine balanced between her fingers.
Her lips curled.
