Confession (Part-2)

Upon hearing Lord Cassius's involuntary confession, Lady Miranda's head began to slowly spin, as all those suspicious acts from the past few days suddenly began to make sense and all those unconnected dots began to swiftly and neatly arrange themselves.

The long hours the man would spend staring into the outside, the strange times he would leave their room with the intention to go 'negotiate' with Miss Linda, and the strange, almost familiar perfume smell he would have on his body when he would return.

Lady Miranda had not bothered to pay attention to any of these clues because one, she blindly trusted her husband, two, she had far more important things to do and most of all, such filthy suspicions never even crossed the refined lady's mind.

How could a brother in law and sister in law, both married, ever cross that line?

And so it was only now she was beginning to understand her mistake- the mistake of blind trust.
