Wealth never comes without tears, and a noble but poor lady has no choice but to sell herself to whoever wishes to buy her. Having agreed to the marriage that made her rich, Vivian did not realise what secrets her husband was keeping, nor how dearly she would have to pay for that choice.

Chapter 1 – Vivian has married Jeremy?! – Anthony exclaimed in disbelief, and, taking the newspaper from his brother, quickly found in it the rather lengthy news that the newlyweds had married before the mourning for the deceased Mr. Wington was over, and that their wedding in the beautiful Anglican church of All Saints was attended only by close friends. – Anthony, is it true? – Lady Cranford asked her son in an amazed tone. She was so surprised at the news that she even spilt a few drops of tea on her beautiful black dress. – The truth, mother," Anthony replied with a chuckle, but did not bother to hand his mother the paper so that she could be sure of the truth of his words. – Vivian and Jeremy Wington! – The Countess smiled contemptuously; her surprise replaced by mockery. – And yet she had achieved her purpose for which she had come to Greenhall! She had married a rich man! And what a man! Your drunken friend! – Perhaps you've forgotten that not so long ago I was that drunken mate? – threw the paper on the table, and parried Anthony. – But somehow you still think I'm a proper gentleman, while Jeremy has long since been labelled as such a drunken fellow. And not only him, but your own niece!
