mistress of the vatican.pdf - End Time Deception

Eleanor Herman
There was another problem in addition to his damaged reputation,
and this was a truly perplexing predicament. Olimpia had seen to it that
a convent was out of the question. And it was unthinkable for a grown
woman to live unmarried either with her parents or by herself. Yet
whatever chance Sforza had had of finding a decent husband for her
had surely vanished in the wake of the priest scandal. At this point,
Sforza probably didn’t possess enough money to persuade a man to take
the scandalous Olimpia off his hands.
Who would want to marry her now? What on earth was he going to
do with Olimpia?
But Olimpia knew she would find someone decent to marry her. She
would have money, status, and power, and then no one would ever try to
stuff her into a convent again. To prevent men from dominating her,
she would dominate men. To prevent men from hurting other women,
she would take the poor, the outcast, and the powerless of her own sex
under her wing. And all those who were foolish enough to stand in her
way would feel her wrath.
It was, after all, only fair.
