\u201cIt is good of you to agree to accompany me to the Children\u2019s Foundling Hospital,\u201d Lady Verity said with a sympathetic smile as their carriage rumbled over rutted London roads to the orphanage that Everett\u2019s sister sponsored. Lady Verity was once again dressed in black, the locket she always wore peeping from beneath her wrap. Sybil found it curious. Verity seemed to be perpetually dressed in mourning. However, neither the dowager nor Everett was, and to her knowledge, there had been no recent deaths in the family.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hardly a chore,\u201d she demurred. \u201cI adore children and always have done, and the opportunity to get to know you better was impossible to resist.\u201d Sybil carefully refrained from mentioning Everett. She didn\u2019t want to dwell on the state of their marriage. Her hope at his rescue of her mother from Eastlake Hall had waned.<\/p>\n

She was nothing more than an unwanted obligation to him, a woman with whom he might slake his manly needs. She could have been anyone to him. The thought was a bitter one, and not without an accompanying pang of resentment. \u201cThe children will be most pleased to have a new face,\u201d Lady Verity was saying, dragging Sybil\u2019s thoughts from her husband. \u201cI fear I am quite old news. Do you sing?\u201d Sybil winced. \u201cWhen I have occasion, though I cannot claim much talent in that regard, I fear.<\/p>\n

It was never one of the feminine arts that I excelled at.\u201d \u201cYou need not worry.\u201d Her sister-in-law grinned. \u201cThe children cannot discern the difference between lovely singing and hoarse warbling. I\u2019m dreadful at singing myself.\u201d Sybil chuckled, charmed by Everett\u2019s sister\u2019s easy nature. It rather reminded her of the glimpses of the man he had shown her during their courtship\u2014swift to smile, to tease.<\/p>\n

With a kindness and warmth that were not always easy to find amongst people of their set. \u201cWell, in that case, I reckon I am in excellent company,\u201d she said. They traveled on in silence until Lady Verity spoke again. \u201cHow did you meet my brother, if I may ask?\u201d Sybil was surprised at the question, but then she recalled that her husband had kept her a secret from his family.<\/p>\n

Thank you for cheering me on. Just don\u2019t ever read this. XO OceanofPDF.com S CHAPTER 1 ybil tipped the pitcher toward her sleeping husband\u2019s head. A stream of cold, clear water poured forth, landing directly on the thick mahogany locks that were a great source of pride and vanity for him, splashing over his unfairly handsome face. It wasn\u2019t the confrontational moment she had initially envisioned when she had decided to attend the wicked house party he and his chums were presently holding at Wingfield Hall, but it was satisfying, nonetheless.<\/p>\n

He sputtered and jolted awake, sitting up as water sluiced down, his bedclothes falling in his lap. His chest was bare. Sybil intentionally averted her gaze. Because whilst the Duke of Riverdale was a terrible, faithless husband, his body, like his face, was as perfectly proportioned as any marble from antiquity. At least he was the only one currently occupying his bed, and given the indecent nature of the present gathering, she hadn\u2019t been certain what to expect.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
