---- "Freya, Im very worried," | began in a low voice.
The only person | trusted was this old woman.
"Thad forgotten about the male heir issue.
Lavinia, as awoman, technically has no right to anything if the Duke casts us out.
Unless she has ason, the future Dukethen things would change for us." "She" never spoke about her relationship
with the Duke, not even the few times she visited the old country house, but | had overheard the servants
gossiping.
It seemed they didnt share a bed.
"In all these years?" | couldnt believe it.
The Duke was still a relatively young man.
He hated Rossella, but he had to have his needs.

gaze troubled.
"No...
This is too dangerous, Freya.
If that woman gets pregnant with a son, or even a daughter, Lavinia wouldnt be legiwell, you know." | cut myself
off.
Even though we spoke in hushed voices, | didnt trust the walls in this place.
"My father blackmailed him with something.
Do you have any idea what it was?" | asked, pressing her.
"No, | truly dont, child.
If 1 did, | would have told you by now." "Tf hes still with Rossella even after my fathers death, then | think he
might believe Rossella also knows about the blackmail." Nana nodded thoughtfully.
---- "Either way, if he asks you, you have to make him believe that you know what its about.
He mustnt realize you actually have no idea," she suggested.
"Thats only a short-term solution, though.
It wont work forever.
All he has to do is pushalittle, and hell figure out that | dont know anything.
The Duke is very sharp." We both fell silent.
"What do | do? How can | have a child with a man who wont even look at me?" | bit my thumb nail, a habit when
my nerves were all over the place.
In truth, | knewit was the most despicable thing in the worldthinking about sleeping with a man just to get
pregnant.
But if | had been forced to do it with that disgusting bastard just to survive, why wouldnt | do it with the Duke? |
wasnt a saint; my morals and pride had been the first things thrown to the ground in that filthy cell.
"Theres a way.
| have a way for you to get close to the Duke," she suddenly said, and | lifted my eyes to meet hersserious, full of

"But you Il have to use something you dont want to..."" "Nana, no.
You know!m afraid.
What if they catch me?" "They wont, not with what Ill show you.
But, child, once you walk through that door, theres no turning back.
Do you understand? You'll have to see it through to the end." Istayed silent, biting my lower lip, which trembled
slightly.
I was about to answer when there was a knock at the door.
