Luke paused, his mind likely drifting to the past and his actions toward me. His gaze darkened.

He had worked his way up from an ordinary young man to the man he was now. If only Philippa had married him, and if the Wilchers had invested in him back then, their lives would have been so much better now. They would have avoided so many unnecessary struggles.

But those shortsighted elders never considered the long-term. They made Philippa lose her true love. leaving her to suffer all her life. Now, they were living of Bill's success.

Today, the Wilchers arrived, all dressed up, exuding an air of elegance.
