Had Mark bought all these luxuries for Cecilia?
Elaineâs lips quivered.
She choked out a grotesque smile, saying, âYou bought them for her.
You bought them for her!â
She repeated the words like a mad mantra as she erupted into wild laughter.
In that moment, the harsh reality finally penetrated her delusions all at once.
While she had faced Markâs mercilessness, Cecilia had received all of his affection.

Mark then arrived, giving the servants the evening off.
Although hesitant, one of the servants spoke her mind.
âMr.
Evans, we earn a decent salary.
We shouldnât neglect our duties.
â
Mark grinned.
âTonight is an exception.
â
Surveying the arrangements Mark had made, the servants caught on.
