Chapter 38

Sophia sighed,"What is in that letter?"

"Are you blind? The letter is sealed. How would he know?" Carina rolled her eyes at her mother.

"This isn't the time to fight. We have to find a way. Otherwise you both will end up executed or exiled. This is the royal family." Thomas warned.

"Why? We didn't kill him. They have nothing against us. We were all present when he died."

"Well, he was poisoned. They could frame you easily. For now, I found this letter addressed to you."

Carina cautiously took the letter in her hand. The paper looked torn and old. Who would write her a letter?

"Dear miss Howards,

Congratulations on your wedding. Although it didn't last long, I like to imagine that you had a happy married life. You must be in shock right now. It is natural. Getting widowed at such a young age is a terrible experience. But fear not miss. Your saviour is here! I promise from today on, all your problems will be solved. You would get into lots of trouble surely in that wicked household. But I'll make sure to pull you out of your misery. So, forget everything else. Get a good night's sleep. And wait for my next little letter.

Your admirer."
