Broken Trust

'Do I deserve to be treated this way?' She swallowed her sobs to not attract any attention from the maids and servants who might be in the corridor outside this room.

The blow she received after learning those alarming truths from her closest maid was enough to almost drive her to the point of no return.

Everyone watched her make a fool out of herself for a man who did not respect her in the least bit.

This revelation pricked her heart and she felt suffocated every moment she spent in the room they shared as a married couple.

Therefore, she immediately asked her maid to move her to a different room.

Though she had been annoyed with this maid as well for keeping her in the dark despite knowing everything, she chose to forgive her after the maid explained her reason for doing so.

The maid had known how much her Madame worshipped the Earl and thus thought that she would not be able to bear this news.
