"Who the hell are you?" Judith questioned the rude stranger. "This is a matter which concerns the family."
"This is your fiance, Sally?" Adam asked as the only thing he took from the man's words was fiance.
Judith refused to believe that this man was going to marry Sally. She gave him a look over and based on his attire, he was not a common man. "This is preposterous. What games are you up to and who is this man?" She inquired from Sally.
Sally answered her father, "This is Caleb. He is the man I am going to marry and you will be living in his home. It would be best if you packed now father. We shouldn't waste any more time."
"You are a maid for Duke Edgar Collins. When would you have time to meet with a man like this? Adam, I told you to send her away," Judith repeated her command. It was unlikely for Sally to get married before her daughter and to such a handsome man. She could hear her friends question what was wrong with her daughter.
