He Brought His Mistress To Meet The Servants—His Wife Simply Handed Him Her Resignation

Duke Alaric Fenwick presented his mistress to the entire household staff, expecting his wife's quiet and dutiful silence after nine years of marriage.

He did not understand, until the tradesmen stopped delivering and the servants' wages went unpaid, that the very fortune sustaining his entire household had always belonged to her — eleven textile mills her own father built, and which she alone had managed in silence for a decade. By the time he understood what he had lost, there was nothing left for him to reclaim. Subscribe for more emotional aristocratic drama, betrayal, revenge, and powerful duchess stories.
