Chapter 10

Chapter 10Evangeline had stopped by her lawyer’s office again, this time to have the divorce agreement drafted.Truth be told, she’d worked out most of the details while she was still in the hospital. Only the financial terms remained unfinished–she hadn’t yet discussed those with Soren.Before she married, Evangeline had a promising career of her own. But after the wedding, the Fawkes family made it clear they didn’t want their daughter–in–law out in public, building a name for herself. So, reluctantly, she gave it all up and devoted herself to managing Soren’s daily life at home..Over the years, Soren’s fondness for peace and quiet meant all the cleaning staff. and housekeepers were let go, until only Macy remained.Macy, being Helena’s protégé, took full advantage of her connections. She had no qualms about bossing Evangeline around, lazing about while coolly ordering her to do the chores. In Macy’s eyes, Evangeline was just another servant–one she could offload her duties onto.Soren remained oblivious. Or maybe he knew, but preferred to turn a blind eye.
