"Greetings Baroness. We offer our sincere apologies for not attending your late husband's funeral. There has been an overflow of work to do in the court," said Mark Wilkerson. Behind him stood two men, Zachery and Declan who worked under him. "May we come in to have a word? It is important."

"Yes, follow me this way," Katrina said, leading the men to the waiting room. She expected to hear from them right after Desmond had died but now was still a good time. There were cases of the court offering money or other gifts to families for their loss. "Would you care for something to drink? My butler can get it for you."

"No thank you," Mark replied. He didn't care for refreshments when he was present for serious business. Judging by the woman's quickness to let them in, she had no idea what they were there for. "Your late husband's daughter, Alessandra Barrett, now known as Alessandra Collins the Duchess, has gotten married. Do you acknowledge that?"
