As the hunt began, most ladies went to take seats on the open ground, waiting for the men to hunt while they enjoyed themselves in discussion of what was currently in fame to their class. Their most interest was me, the lady who married the Lord. Some ladies, including Lady Eleanor and Lady Jade thought of when they could get the chance of being alone to mock me in a group.

Lauren snatched the shard from my hand, her slender fingers trembling faintly under the sunlight. The moment she clearly made out the letters engraved on it, the once arrogant and imposing Miss Hayes suddenly found her breathing turning rapid.

"The lady of the house has been waiting for assistance in the courtyard. Do not keep her waiting any longer." Relieved but cautious, Aria nodded and quickly followed the other maid, her mind racing with questions. She had narrowly escaped suspicion, but she wasn't safe yet. As they reached the sunlit courtyard, Aria's eyes immediately fell on an elderly woman seated gracefully on a plush chair surrounded by blooming flowers. The woman exuded an air of elegance and authority, her gray hair styled neatly, and her eyes sharp with wisdom that only comes with age.

I didn't mean to intrude! **Lady:** (glancing at him in the mirror) Intrude? Oh, I assure you, your intrusion was quite deliberate. You sought answers, didn't you? **Man:** (frustrated) I had questions, yes, but I never expected... **Lady:** (interrupting) ...to find yourself here? Tied to a bed in the midst of elegance and... darkness? **Man:** (voice trembling) Who are you? Why am I here? **Lady:** (pausing, her reflection meeting his eyes) Who I am is of little consequence. Why you're here, well, that's another matter entirely.

If he did not agree to break off the engagement, the Pileggis would be done for. His voice was hoarse as he said slowly, “Alright. We’ll go as Mr. Langley wishes. The engagement is off.” The butler nodded with satisfaction. “I’ll inform Mr. Langley about this.” He got up and prepared to leave. When Nicole saw how her engagement was broken off with just a few words, she became agitated. She screamed in a shrill voice, “No! I’m not breaking off this engagement. I won’t allow this to happen. I’m the young mistress of the Langleys…”

I offered her a reassuring smile. "Indeed, it is," I agreed, acknowledging our mess. Lavina then stepped back, maintaining a distance between us. "Lavina," I called gently, and she turned to face me. I showed her my phone, displaying the document for breaking off my engagement, which I had signed and was now waiting for Eden's electronic signature. Her eyes met mine, full of questions. "Why are you breaking off the engagement?" she asked, quickly adding, "Don't answer." Lavina fell silent, absorbing the weight of the situation, her emotions a complex web of hurt, confusion, and unresolved feelings.

There is not really a chance for that now. Her passion when talking about her mate revealed how totally the man still encompassed her mind, and overtook her thoughts. Even now, sitting at the bar in some brothel, speaking to a madam who goes by the name of Lady Vera, her eyes are still scanning the door as if she hopes someone else might show up any minute.

The evening sky had dimmed as Evalina stood in front of the grand house she once called home. Her hand clutched a spare key she hadn’t touched in days. A storm of anxiety churned in her chest, laced with a fury that threatened to explode. She had seen the headline—one that burned her eyes like fire: "Hunter Jackson Engaged to Mysterious Woman from His Past." Evalina pushed the door open slowly. The silence inside welcomed her with a chilling emptiness. She strode quickly to the living room, and just as she suspected, Amara was there. Elegant as ever, sitting calmly with a small, victorious smile.

“He’ll promise you the world and then rip it away as soon as it’s convenient for him. He’ll leave you broken, just like he did to me.” She looked at Roy, her face a mix of shock and betrayal. “Is this true, Roy? Were you engaged to her?” He opened his mouth, but no words came out, his expression twisting in frustration and guilt. “I think that says it all,” I said, turning my back on them both. “Congratulations on your wedding, Roy. I hope it brings you as much misery as you’ve brought me.” I open my eyes from my reverie to hear the priest say “If anyone has anything to say, speak now or forever hold your peace…”

This lady is unlike any other woman who can be controlled without being paid off, therefore I can definitely figure it out. She first hums and shakes her head before ultimately saying, "I can definitely pinpoint that they are there for some nice deals! I've heard that the sexiest young men will be there, performing for the adults.” I hear the lady who informed us remark, "Ah, but Lady Solstice, it might not be better for you since you already have a fiancé and it's the crown prince."
