The thought of the contract expiring and her becoming his new wife was something she had hoped for but after his wife got pregnant and died during childbirth, Marshall told her that he didn't want to get married again or have kids.
She was pained but her foolish self for still accepting his terms and being by his side.
There wasn't a day when she hated Marshall, he was the love of her life, she had loved every bit of him with all her heart and she knew he loved her too.
He proved it to her when he told her to finally come and stay in the mansion, it didn't take long for everyone to know who she was to him and it didn't take long for them to hate her for loving him.
They hated her so much that they said it to her face countless times, she never took it personally as long as Marshall loved her.
She had watched Emily grow and she had learned a little secret, one that she kept with her even after Marshall's death.
