Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

36 Caring for his sick wife

From morning till afternoon Jeslyn didn’t go downstairs to eat nor did she open her door to the maids that had been knocking.

Being under master Maverick means an automatic protective shield in this hell of a country, so the young maid was frightened by the thousands of bad thoughts running through her mind.

“Knock, knock, knock!”

“Bang, bang, bang!”
