Chapter 3: Surprise visit (1)
Selene wasn't left alone in the library for long as Agnes and Elsie entered.
Elsie did not like what she witnessed. "Milady, you must send her out now."
"Your marriage is at stake here," Agnes tearfully expressed.
Neither one wanted to see Selene face this. She was the last lady in town they would have placed to have her husband bring home a mistress.
"The mansion is full of vampires. Why would he bring her here?" Elsie questioned, unable to understand Gabriel's actions.
Selene smiled. In the midst of her heartbreak, she still had two people around who cared for her. Maids who were more than servants as they were her dear friends as well.
Still, it was too dangerous to speak on what Gabriel did.
"You need to be careful with what you say. He is a fool in love and has a temper now so you might find yourself in trouble for speaking ill of her. I don't want to see any of you harmed. Now is not the time to worry about who my husband has brought home. I have guests to tend to," said Selene.
There were important men and women Selene could not ignore. After greeting the guests, she needed to think of a way out of there.
This place wasn't her home anymore.
Both Elsie and Agnes didn't think this matter should be pushed to the side and for Selene to attend the banquet with another woman at her husband's side. Selene's smile would have fooled them if not for the tears they noticed.
