  Chapter One
  
  Who was she meant to be was something she started asking herself the summer
  she turned eighteen. Was she meant to be the gypsy her mother was or was she
  meant to be the lady her father expected her to be?
  
  Her father had married her mother when they were both foolishly young, against
  the wishes of both families. Her father was the son of a lord, of a peer of
  the realm and her mother was born a Romnishel or a gypsy as the English called
  her people. They were happy for two years and welcomed her as a baby with much
  love, but before Mila’s second birthday the hate from both sides finally
  ripped them apart.
  
  Unable to get their divorce his family sought they separated with her mother
  returning to her family and old life and her father to being the young lord he
  was meant to be. Her father and his family said that Mila’s mother had died to
  protect their honorable name and not the tarnish it in the eyes of others ‘who
  mattered’.
