MADWOMAN GRADUATED FROM AN INSANE ASYLUM KATHERINE Istared in disbelief at the woman I had thrown
out the night before who, surprisingly, was now walking out of the inner room as if nothing had happened.
T gave you a very clear order yesterday.
What are you doing here? | asked in a low voice, careful not to make a scene in front of the girl.
The Duke is the one who hired me, and unless he dismisses me, Im not going anywhere, she answered with all

because of that damn old mans blackmail, was as insignificant toas the dung in the stables.

the study window while that thief behindtried to justify his actions.
Thad watched her with nothing but annoyance.
| truly wouldnt have given a damn if she had stayed away forever.
But when she lifted her brown eyes, | had expected to see nothing but her usual deception.
