Daniel Cooper, Earl of Cholmondeley. , the new owner of Autumn Hall, wanted to take possession of the place to use it as a country residence for his libertine pursuits; however, the appearance of one of its residents led him to make a promise in exchange for the young woman's sacrifice. Will Mildred wait for an illusion or will she end up giving in to her forbidden desires for Daniel? "My lord, I cannot believe it! " she exclaimed with a smile that lit up her entire face. Daniel let Mildred continue celebrating her achievement. She was so beautiful when she smiled genuinely, though she would have to learn that his generosity came with conditions. "You must believe it. With this, your family will regain their spirits and even have a protector like me. .. " He boasted so that she would feel even more indebted to him. "It's more than I expected. I don't know why they said you were someone so wicked, when it's obvious you're not entirely so. ". "People are right about some things, Mildred, and you'll know that now. What I grant you will be under my conditions. If you want to see your family well, I promise they will never lack for anything, and it will be thanks to you. .. ". "Conditions? What conditions? " Those questions she asked filled her with fear. Generosity did not seem to be Lord Cholmondeley's strong suit. less
