Hi guys, I just recently uploaded chapter 20 of my romance story with a twist on the enemies to lovers trope set in the victorian era. I would love for you to give it a read! Below is a snippet along with a link to the recent chapter!
Snippet:
“I’ll be postponing the wedding as you had initially asked of me,” he exhales, clicking his tongue, “so… six months.” “However, you may consider it but a brief period for an almost guaranteed lifetime of peace. Tracking you down in the aftermath of your departure will prove entirely impossible and neither I nor anyone who once knew you could ever hope to recognize you.”
“Seems as though you stand to lose much in the settlement when we ultimately part ways,” I remark, with a tilt of my head, “I find that suspicious you wouldn’t afford yourself the luxury of more time.”
“I merely thought it considerate not to waste yours any further.”
“Considerate?” I repeat skeptically, “I would think it’s rather your arrogance that makes you so certain you could dissuade me in six months’ time.”
“Perhaps,” he replies ambiguously, with a shrug. “So, are we in agreement?”
“We most certainly are,” I affirm, snatching the quill. This will make for good insurance in the event I fail to steal the brooch, first. Signing off on the document, I swiftly hand him back the feather for his signature.
