A Scandalous Entanglement
The last thing Emilia needs is a scandalous entanglement especially one involving her.
In a society full of no fewer perfect people, Emilia is constantly faced with judgmental stares, thoughts that her marriage of five years is on the very edge of breaking, if not that it has long ended.
Then, there are those horrid whispers, rumors that speak of an impending divorce one that would leave her in a far worse fate than before.
And if she is to let the voices of her father win, she might just be the very problem....
However she has to fight or at least try to even if she has failed miserably at her responsibility of being a wife in society.
Though can that still be possible even with the humiliation she has faced so far, with the lack of love or hopes of affection from her lord and especially now with a scandal so great going on?

My dearest Emilia,
The beauty of motherhood one was never prepared for are the pains and constant strains. The cries of agony as I feel my body being torn from inside. The midwives said I will be fine,- that these things happen and yet I feel tired by the hour, short of breath by the minute and ever so dizzy by the second with each passing day.
And this baby, this baby I feel in my stomach, my little babe that won't survive this cruel loveless world all alone on its own.
The physician came by today and he had me checked and even with his reassuring smile I could tell of the pains in his eyes, the knowledge that either I or this baby will not make it and I am scared,- more so sacred for myself than I am for this baby.
I do not want to die, yet again I can already feel the sickness in my body.
I am slowly losing life,
And I am sore afraid.
This babe won't make it either.
Till I see you once again,
Emilia Bronnot,
1730.
