Ariana swallowed and turned the page.

May 15, 1869

I'm the envy of every woman in London. Trenton is shameless in his intentions and his pursuit. When I'm not beside him, his eyes are always upon me. It’s only a matter of time before our feelings take over and all discretion is cast aside. Then, all I crave will be mine.

A ponderous weight descended on Ariana's heart, oppressive and aching. She fought it, silently chastising herself for the idiocy of her reaction. The fact that Trenton and Vanessa had been lovers was no new revelation, but one she’d known for years. So why on earth did it agonize her to see a confirmation of the truth?

It's just the shock of finding Vanessa's journal, she assured herself, together with the jolt of reliving the past through her eyes.

Ariana's shoulders sagged. She'd never lied to herself before, and she wouldn’t begin now. The true cause of her immediate distress had nothing to do with Vanessa's death and everything to do with her life. Quite simply, the thought of Vanessa in Trenton's arms, the image of her in his bed, made Ariana ill.

Because, unthinkable as it was, she was still in love with her husband.

A sharp sting made Ariana wince. She hadn't realized she was gripping the journal so tightly. Slowly, she uncurled her fingers, watching a rivulet of blood redden her thumb where the paper had pierced it. Instinctively, she raised the injured finger to her lips, soothing the cut with the tip of her tongue-but not before a tiny bit of blood had trickled onto the open journal.

Uneasily, Ariana stared at the smudge of red that slowly stained the next page of Vanessa's words, feeling a disturbing sense of foreboding seep inside her as she returned to her reading.
