And the words:
“She had little doubt that she was about to suffer the same fate as Elizabeth.” – Midnight Pleasures With A Scoundrel – Lorraine Heath
~*~*~*~
As Meg looked out the window at the calmly flowing river and the rural landscape, her thoughts were in turmoil. She had little doubt that she was about to suffer the same fate as Elizabeth. How to avoid it? Her mind went back to the family drama in the morning. With her grandmother passing, the power struggle for the control of the company was the highlight of today’s gathering. All those who wanted to own more shares of the family-owned company were acting in a soulless manner. The legal team was trying to sort things amicably but were making little progress. There was no joy in inheriting such a mess, she thought, reaching her decision.
She opened the door to the study where another heated argument was in progress. “I have decided to decline the inheritance. I don’t want to end like grandma Elizabeth, I owe her that!”
