Across from him, the Dowager Duchess of Blackwood Hall, Margaret sat like a marble statue, her silk skirts whispering against the hardwood floor. "The Duke is a man of vast resources, Elara," Margaret said, her voice like a velvet-covered blade. "He requires a wife of impeccable breeding who understands the value of... discretion. In exchange, your father's unfortunate 'misunderstandings' with the creditors will vanish." Elara looked at her brother, Arthur, who stood by the window, staring out at the London fog. He said nothing. He wouldn't-he couldn't. Not when his own commissions depended on this union. "And the Duke?" Elara asked, her voice steady despite the coldness spreading in her chest. "Does he desire a wife, or simply a centerpiece for his table?" "Tristan desires what is best for the Ravenscroft name," Margaret replied coldly. "You should be honored. Half the debutantes in London would walk through fire for a seat at Blackwood Hall." "Then let them," Elara whispered, though she knew she had a choice.

The candle burns low. I sit at the end of the dining table, silver polished, wine untouched, dinner going cold for the third night this week. The chair across from me-his chair-remains empty. It always is now. They say he's in the city, whispering rebellions and kissing poetry from the mouth of a woman half my age. They say she wears my rubies now-the ones my mother gave me on my wedding night. I do not ask. I do not weep. I simply breathe. That is all I am allowed to do these days. Breathe... and stay married. The walls of Alwyndale Manor are not kind to echoes. Every step I take, I hear only silence follow. Not even the portraits watch me anymore. Perhaps they've turned away out of pity. I wonder if he thinks of me at all. Sometimes, I pass him in the corridor. His eyes glance over me like I am a ghost that doesn't haunt properly-quiet, decorous, and easy to ignore. I am not angry. That is what makes it worse. I am not angry, because there is nothing left in me that he hasn't already taken. My ladies speak gently now, as if I might shatter. The servants smile too carefully. No one dares to say her name in front of me. But they all know. The whole court knows. The whole damn country knows- The Duchess has been replaced. Not by a divorce. Not by decree. But by absence. And that, I think, is the cruelest kind of affair-the one where the world still calls you wife, but no one treats you like one. Not even him. POV: Lady Seraphine, The Duchess
