lie any longer. I need to be honest about my feelings.” Lord Ashwood’s face hardened, his voice cold. “Eliza, you have a duty to this family, to your lineage, to the Ashwood name. You cannot throw it all away for a mere servant. This… this is unacceptable.” Eliza’s resolve wavered, but she stood firm. “Father, Mother, I understand the consequences of my actions. But I cannot deny my heart. I love Thomas, and I will not turn my back on that love.” The room was filled with tension, the air heavy with unspoken words and unshed tears. Eliza’s confession had shattered the delicate balance of their world, setting in motion a series of events that would forever change the course of their lives. The Ashwood estate, once a bastion of elegance and tradition, was now a battleground of love and duty, where the boundaries of class and society were tested and broken. Eliza’s heart-wrenching confession marked the beginning of a tumultuous journey, a journey filled with passion, sacrifice, and ultimately, redemption.
