Chapter 4

Chapter 4 

I returned to the estate. 

I grilled every maid in the house, one by one. 

Without exception, they all swore they had seen Adriana sneaking around with some outsider, unable to stand being alone. 

Everyone had something nasty to say about Adriana. 

They spelled out every detail, like they were determined to make me believe every word. 

A young footman claimed he saw Adriana sneaking a Man into the house. Last year, his mother was so sick she nearly died. Adriana took off her earrings and pawned them so he could buy Medicine for her.
