The Winthrop Estate glittered with candlelight, music echoing beneath its vaulted ceilings as nobles filled the ballroom. I had planned everything perfectly. Every arrangement, every guest, every detail reflected the dignity expected of the Duchess of England. I moved through the room with practiced grace, offering polite smiles and measured greetings. Tonight was meant to be flawless.
Then the doors opened.
Finn entered first, confident as ever, but my eyes fixed immediately on the woman beside him.
His wife.
Her gown shimmered softly in the candlelight, elegant without effort, jewels glinting at her throat. She looked radiant—effortlessly so. A sharp heat twisted in my chest, that familiar jealousy I had spent years hiding. I straightened my posture and forced it down. She meant nothing.
Until the children approached her.
My little cousins ran to her with delighted cries, tugging at her skirts with wide innocent eyes. And she smiled at them so easily, bending down to greet them as though kindness came as naturally as breathing.
Something inside me snapped.
I turned sharply and fled the ballroom, tears burning in my eyes. Footsteps followed—Edmund, Finn, and that woman.
When they reached the corridor, I spun around, composure shattered.
You think you’re so much better in your pretty gown and jewels! I shouted. But you are nothing! You hold no power in England! Your husband isn’t even a legitimate Viremont!
My voice trembled with fury.
