Chapter 6

Maylily Aile, a poor opera singer born out of wedlock, lived a life full of hardship. Hugh Skaard, the Earl of Everscourt, was a nobleman who reached out to support her. Even though Maylily knew their relationship could never be equal, she couldn’t help falling in love with Hugh. He had brought the most radiant spring into her otherwise bleak life. When she finally opened her heart to him completely, Maylily was forced to face the cold and painful truth hidden behind their bond. “I don’t love you anymore, my lord.” “Then learn to love me again. Now that things have come to this, it will be less miserable for you too.”
