Isabella deliberately seduces Duke Alexander, her sister's betrothed, inviting society's scorn to mask a calculated vendetta against the aristocratic house responsible for her mother's destruction. She treats the duke as a disposable instrument, indifferent to her ruined name, so long as the betrayal sickens her sister and weakens the dynasty.
