Chapter Ten

The next morning Amelia woke to alarming news. Or rather, to be more accurate, her mother woke her with alarming news.

“Have you seen this?” Vanessa cried as she flew into Amelia’s bedchamber, ripped back her coverlet, and shoved a copy of the London Caller underneath her nose. “Have you?”

“What – what’s happened?” Groggy from sleep and only half awake, Amelia pushed the paper away and sat up, her long blonde hair sticking out every which way. Rubbing her eyes, she looked first at the window where the sky was still pink from sunrise and then glared at her mother. “Have you any idea what time it is?”

“Have you any idea why Lady V would insinuate you had something to do with Lord Reinhold’s murder?” Throwing the paper down on the bed, Vanessa marched across the room and began to yank open the drapes. When a maid tried to help she snapped at the girl and sent her scurrying out of the bedchamber.

Amelia gaped at her mother’s back as the gravity of her words began to register within her sleep addled mind. “I don’t understand. Lord Reinhold is…”

“Dead,” the duchess said flatly. “Killed, in his own home. It’s all anyone is talking about.”

Amelia picked up the London Caller with numb fingers and turned it over. There, splashed across the front page in large block lettering, was a headline that made her blood run cold.
