46 Chapter 41 part 1

  Natasha showed Angelica to a nicely decorated room where she could stay until she met her suitor, which she had arranged. Only now did she realize how terrified she was of meeting the man that could be her future husband if things went as planned. 

"Don't worry about your brother. Both our fathers have been to military camps. It has its benefits," Natasha told her. 

Angelica knew that already. She knew the other boys would give her brother a hard time but at least there he would have food and shelter and he would be alive. Her heart broke thinking she had to choose between those things for her brother. 

"I know. Thank you." Angelica smiled. 

"Alright. I will let you rest so you can impress Lord Scott tomorrow." She gave her a smile before closing the door to the room behind her.
