My Lady Chef

Margaret's POV:

A lady's position is always precarious.

Which is why she must always be above reproach. Elegance and Beautiful with good breeding.

A noble background as well.

Heavens forbid the thought of ever being born of the middle class or worse, the peasant stock.

Just the thought of it made me shudder with revulsion as I viewed myself in the golden gilded mirror on my vanity table.

As the reigning Belle of the ton, I must always maintain my image and everything always goes my way.

I caressed a paper clipping with the picture of Duke Aisenburg, his strong profile was still so handsome..so striking even when his image was captured in black and white.

My body shivered with delight when I last met with him. After months of pursuing the most eligible bachelor in the capital; He finally agreed to an assignation.

It is a term popular amongst the beau monde where a male and female can meet at an assigned place to have a little "fun" and these dalliances usually turn into something more if the gentleman involved becomes crazy over you.

Of course, some just do not work out and the other use of the assignation was an amicable parting of both parties thereby protecting each other's identities.

That was my aim when I made it my mission to seduce Duke Aisenburg. Our occasional nights together a few months ago were rather wild and I trembled at how masterful he was when he roughly loved me.

Pretty soon he will be asking my father to visit me and maybe after a few outings where we are seen together; he will ask for my hand in marriage.
