Abigail pov "There must be around a dozen." he replied as I felt the footsteps of theirs and I nodded, we would be shredded to pieces and even our parts would not be able to be recognized if they would see us or even feel our presence. "Do not move, your highness," I said , hugging him tightly. He stiffened in my arms out of fear. "Your.." I wanted to comfort him that we would be fine, when he covered my lips with his palm.

Marianne pov contd. "Mother, it is almost twilight, father still has not come. He must be busy." said Killian as he looked at the carriage that was going farther and farther away from us. "Umm, Killian, the letter was never sent. Your father must be busy with many things. He was looking very disturbed when he left. So I didn't want to disturb him.

Marianne pov contd. "Did you see where she went?" I whispered to Daulla who shook her head. "When i reached there. She was not anywhere. But.." she hesitated as she looked around. "But what, Daulla?" I pressured and she looked around again. "My lady, the left area of the palace was suddenly guarded by more knights of his royal highness." she replied and I smirked. So my assumption was right! She was here to meet Philp. But that man was not as dumb as Isabella. He had taken proper measures to hide…

Marianne pov I did not want to go and look for Killian, as he would think that I did not trust him, but my heart was feeling uneasy! I did not know when I turned into a worried person. But my mind was really not able to concentrate. So when Caleb went to take a bath, I held Shui's hand and took her towards the stable with the excuse of showing her horses. But when I reached there, I was startled to see Isabella on the floor. She was looking like a crying mess. And Killian was standing there panicking.…

3rd person pov "Killian '' Isabella called him with all the love and care she could muster. She was getting tired of this act, especially when she knew that others already knew the reality. It was easy to lie before but it was getting burdensome day by day. She looked around to see if her maid was back, but she was not. She cursed her maid, she did not even know the maid's name to check up on her. Killian was riding a horse when he heard Isabella's voice. He turned to see her coming towards him and…

Marianne pov. There was something that Isabella was hiding. She was trying to flare me, but Cassius' words were still roaming in my mind. I did not know the details but I was sure Cassius had planned the death of any or both of them, marquees and Isabella. I didn't know why but I was not even feeling angry at Isabella anymore. If any, I was feeling pity for her. "I am here to ask you if you have any last request. As a new duchess it is my duty to fulfill your last conditions so that you don't feel…

3rd person pov "I said leave me right now." she shouted as the knights escorted her out. She raised her hand and slapped one of them. The man gritted but bore with it.

Cassius pov contd. "I.. I apologize, my lord. But there is another matter that needs your attention, '' he said, shivering again. "And what is that?" I asked as annoyance filled me further. "My lord, when we sent the men to take our investments back. The land was in the name of earl Alcantra not in the name of marquess Wiltshire. And since it was not in his name anymore. We could not claim it back. In fact, most of the properties are sold to others or paid as loans. And I am not sure if the marquees had…

I shouted and she finally came to her senses. "You.. how can you talk to me like that?" she asked, if i had doubt that she was crazy before then i was sure now. "Why?
