Chapter 10

• The atmosphere at the dinner was absolutely suffocating. The table was filled with mouth-watering delicacies, but even Victoria found it hard to swallow her saliva. It was a far cry from the usual dinners she had been having in this house.
• Grace and a man named James arrived fifteen minutes before dinner began. Their presence immediately brought about a change in the atmosphere of the house. Victoria, feeling awkward around the Logans, chose to stay away. She knew her place. She was only Logan Ashford's contract wife, not an official part of the family.
• “Madam, dinner is ready,” Rosa informed her in a soft tone, though her face looked a little tired. Perhaps the kitchen was busy preparing a special dish for tonight.
