The Lady

My life has always been a game for a foolish circus of clowns. A chance encounter brings forth hope of putting a stop to my endless cycle on the merry-go-round. Until he says the one thing I know I should heed, but can’t. “Do me a favor, Margaret, stay away from men like me, we live two different lives…” “In two different worlds,” I finished for him. Truer words have never been spoken. However, the magnetic pull is too hard to deny. Behind his grey eyes lies something new, something exciting… something dangerous. And I am in desperate need of a change. I'm slowly dying inside from the mask I must wear in order to exude perfection. I'm tired of all the fake smiles on the faces of false friends. I'm tired of all society's golden rules, and I am done with being used for someone else's gain. Something casual is all I ask of him, until my heart demands more. The stakes are high, and the scandal could ruin me… But a chance at true happiness for once in my life, makes Marcus worth the risk. This is Margaret's story. A Stern's High Society Duet is the continuation of Margaret and Cherry from A Stern's Family Saga.
