From my perspective, you might be wondering why things are getting so intense. Allow me to explain the whirlwind of events that unfolded. The evening before the wedding, my dear friend Guy, who is not as wealthy as others (in comparison), confided in me at my window, professing a deep, unyielding love for me – despite the fact I was supposed to marry his friend, Theo, the Duke. We gave in to our passions and spent an extraordinary night together. However, I had planned to call off the wedding. But then, my sister Jinny shared her plight: her abusive husband, Lord Seadown, has been tormenting her, she’s pregnant, and she doesn’t know how to proceed. Eventually, I made a deal with the Dowager Duchess of Tintagel, who saw us together. In this arrangement, I would marry Theo to preserve the Tintagel name, and in return, the Dowager would help Jinny escape and protect her. To execute this plan, she sent Jinny away with Guy as an escort. We swore to keep the terms of this deal a secret from Theo. And amazingly, it worked! Jinny and Guy fled the scene while “Long Live” by Taylor Swift played (quite fitting for the series), and I went ahead and married Theo. To add more complications, my parents learned that my biological mother has returned to stir things up, and Richard discovered that his father is dying, so instead of escaping to America, he and Conchita must stay in London and address their family’s financial issues. So, as you can see, there are quite a few moving parts!
