'All I ever wanted to have a better life. Where I did not have to bow and serve someone else throughout my life.' Paula gritted her teeth as these rebellious thoughts overwhelmed her mind.
Not only did she wish to lead a better life but she had also liked the Earl just as long as the Countess had.
They had met the young son of the Earl of St. Claire at the same time in their youth.
They had met him an equal number of times back when he had visited the Viscount's fief on official business.
Somewhere along the line, she had also developed feelings for him while she served her Mistress.
So why was there such a vast difference in the treatment they received?
She stood alone, desolate, and without anyone to support her while the Countess stood with the man who showered her with love.
Time to say goodbye to Paula and her delusional ways.
Those who are curious about the trick she tried to pull with Rutherford, leave a comment to let me know what you think must have happened?
