Y/N's POV

Henry Jekyll.

The man I was planning to spend the rest of my life with.
I love how great and smoothly the planning is going, it gives me a lot of hope for us and our future.
My family and I are glad I won't be spending eternity alone in this cruel world, I was always quite a lonely child.

The only downside is that Henry kept going into his laboratory to finish up any experiments before our wedding.
I get that he was a doctor but should it really take up that much of his free time?

It was odd. Wouldn't he want to spend time with me? He had stopped greeting me when he would arrive upstairs. I would only get a nod or a small 'hello'. I guess he was just tired from all his work. He was a great doctor after all. One thing I had also noticed was how Emma Carew had been joining us for dinners lately and she'd go into the laboratory with Henry while I wasn't allowed near it.
Edward constantly telling me to 'be prepared for the worst' had also added to my worry. Hyde had never liked me so I assumed it was him trying to get rid of me again.

I decided to let it go and simply think of our future together.
Just us, and probably Hyde. He was alright, I had started to grow fond of the heartless experiment. Maybe one day, we'd have children together. The life I'd always wanted.

I was currently on my way home from a day out with my younger sister. Henry thought it was a good idea since we didn't see each other a lot. She lived in the South West of England while I was in Soho.

I get to our shared Manor and open the front door, hoping to surprise Jekyll by being home early. He thought I was going to my sister's house for tea.
Once I opened the door however, I heard a high pitched giggle from his laboratory. It sounded familiar but I couldn't be too sure. He didn't mention having guests around but he was probably lonely by himself. I decided to ignore it and put the items I had purchased in my own personal office.

Jekyll didn't want me getting hurt so he separated our offices. He may act tough and dominant but he was a massive Softie at heart. I loved this man almost too much.
After I had finished sorting all my shopping into where they belonged, I made my way towards the doors of Henry's laboratory.

Poole noticed this and rushed over, looking guilty.
"I'm very sorry ma'am but Dr Jekyll has requested that you not be let down until he says otherwise." Poole refused eye contact as he spoke. He was hiding something from me but I didn't know what.

I was extremely confused and wanted to press on the subject more to prevent my curiosity and confusion. Sure, Henry liked hiding his experiments sometimes but he'd never deny my entrance to the laboratory.

I stared at Poole, hoping for some answers but nothing came from the man.
"Why can't I Poole? Is something the matter?" Poole shook his head. "I cannot say ma'am. I am dearly sorry if you find out though."
That scared me a little bit and added to my Paranoia. I was eager to find out and I will find out why Henry's refusing my entrance.

TIMESKIP

It had been a few hours since I was told I couldn't go into the laboratory. I had a gut feeling that something bad was happening.
Since Poole was asleep and the other staff were around other areas, I decided to listen to what's happening in the laboratory.

I made my way over to the hallway where the tall, wooden doors stood. Inside was the smartest and most loveable man I knew.

I made my way to the doors quietly and tried to check. The door was ever so slightly opened.
I peeked in a small amount so it was unnoticeable but I could still see.
After a bit of adjusting, I could finally see the whole room. I took a look around then my eyes landed on his work desk.

I wish I never did.

I looked in and I saw Emma Carew kissing Henry Jekyll, the man I was supposed to marry.
I felt my entire body freeze with realisation.
Everybody had been sending me slight hints of the secret affair, even Hyde did.
How could I have been so stupid.
I decided to not confront him.
I was going to leave instead. I would let him realise what he had done.

As I was packing some bags I had come to realise that all the 'I love you's were lies and all his kisses meant nothing.
I let out a painful sob. I couldn't hold back any longer.

I guess Henry and Emma had noticed because I heard him ushering her out the house before heading upstairs, towards our shared bedroom that would be turned into his own.

"Darling is everythi- what on earth are you doing? You didn't mention a holiday." I refused to even look at the man and I continued shoving everything I could in bags.
Henry grew impatient.
"When I speak to you, I would like a reply." I still refused. I was tired of him.

I got up, holding my very full bag close. I continued to ignore him and headed downstairs. Henry sighs and follows me.
"Darling I don't have time for this. Our dinner is in 30 minutes." I turn to look at him with angry tears flowing down my face.

His face turned from annoyance to concern like he didn't know what he was doing just now that had caused my pain.
"Oh my poor Y/N, whatever is the matter?" Henry held my hand, gently rubbing his thumb over my knuckle. I pulled my hand away, surprising the doctor.

"You know exactly what you were doing Jekyll. I saw what you and Carew were doing in your laboratory. I should've listened to Hyde's warning." With that, Henry Jekyll was speechless for once. His face held a look of regret. Tears started to form in his eyes as he tried to figure out what to say.

"My dear, I'm so sorry you had to witness that. Our meetings are purely just because we get rather lonely." I stopped his rambling "You're the one who would leave me alone in the house. You pathetic man. Go marry Emma, I'm sure she pleases you better." With that, I exited the Manor. I felt a wave of sadness hit me but I refused to cry. Not in front of the man who caused this.
I wasn't thinking straight at this moment but I had one name on my mind.

Henry Jekyll.

The man I was supposed to marry.
I wish it was still that way. It would've been if it wasn't for Emma Carew.
Now I'm left here alone for eternity in this cruel world.
