Carson muttered, "If Old Master Yorks’ words can be trusted, then even pigs will start flying. Who knows, the branches in front of this widow's house might have been distributed to each and every man in the Yorks' stronghold."
Cole started smirking like a fool. "I can’t go around ruining other innocent women's lives, can I? She’s the perfect candidate.”
"Black Widow," Carson shouted at the top of his lungs.
Black Widow was wearing a cotton-padded jacket and sashayed out of the house.
The women living in the mountains would often get married early. Black Widow got married before she even turned 20 and was only 24-years-old this year because her husband passed away very early. Due to that, she still carried the tenderness that of a young woman.
When Black Widow saw Cole, she was left nonplussed.
"Whoa, what brings you here, Young Master Yorks?"
Carson said, "You’re in luck today. Young Master is interested in you. Make sure you serve him well tonight."
A woman who was once married would act

Black Widow shut the doors and windows before sitting on the edge of the bed. She gazed at the strikingly dashing Cole, then reached out to unbutton his blouse.
Cole suddenly grabbed her hand, his drunken stupor completely vanishing. He snarled. "Don't touch me."
Black Widow was slightly stunned before dissolving into laughter. "What are you up to if you're not here to get down to business, Young Master Yorks?"
Cole sat up from the bed. "After tonight, everyone in the stronghold will know that we’ve slept together. From now on, you just need to keep pretending like you're infatuated with me and I will make sure to give you what you deserve."
Black Widow scrutinized Cole. She brushed her fingers on Cole's face gently, saying, "You want me to b e Angeline's stand-in, right, Young Master Yorks?"
Cole's complexion was dark. "A woman who is too wise isn't very likable."
Black Widow continued, "News about you and Angeline are all over town. Guys in the stronghold say that you’ve fallen in love with your cousin's wife.
Public clamor can confound right and wrong, so in order to stop the rumors and safeguard Ms. Angeline's reputation, you’ve decided to find someone to be
