Chattel Desire

Edgar Compton is confined to his bed torn between a mental breakdown and dissatisfaction that his wife, Bernadine Compton, had failed to produce him an heir. Bernadine finds solace and comfort in her foreman, Amos, who finds it a duty and privilege to satisfy her desires, although he had pledged to marry Emmalyn, his fellow chattel. Bernadine abandons her husband at a mental institution despite the scrutiny and suspicion of Matthew Bondman, who is Mr. Compton’s best friend and confidant. Soon, she finds herself pregnant and when the child was born, it bore the brand of slavery and Bernadine was set to lose everything. —- ISBN: 9798324040925
