Chapter Song: Chasing Fire, stripped version, by LAUV♥️

"I'm chasing fire when I'm running after you, you

You got that something that I never wanna lose, lose, yeah

It's like dancing when the song's already over

Moving without getting any closer, oh

I'm chasing fire when I'm running after you..."

Chapter Warnings: no smut, mentions of arranged marriage (not with kylo)

When you were born, your biological parents could not afford to take care of you, however, the Williams family soon adopted you at a very young age as they had abundant wealth.

Their family comprised Arthur and Barbara Williams, husband and wife respectively, and two of their own biological daughters, Eleanor being the middle child, Louisa the youngest, and you were the eldest. And it just so happened that you were the only adopted daughter, too.

Chapter I - Eleanor's Necklace, Worrisome Mysteries, and First Glances

01 October 1810

As you awoke from a more-than-peaceful night of sleep, you looked around your room, distantly hearing your sisters arguing about nonsense. Smiling and outstretching your arms, seeing the sunlight flowing through the window, you remembered today was your father's birthday.




He would be fifty years old, and your mother saw it perfectly fit to throw an extravagant ball for him.




Whenever large celebrations occurred, they warranted a beautiful gown. You loved wearing them: you wore your hair down, and the dresses always accentuated your curves, gracefully flowing down to the floor.




Unfortunately, being the eldest daughter, your family always hoped for you to find a prospective husband during these large gatherings. Despite this time being your father's birthday. Your family was extremely loving, but relentless in the pursuit of a marriage that wasn't even theirs.




Your aunts, uncles, cousins, and distant family pressured you, which was expected given the fact your older female cousins wed in previous years to suitors they met at soirées.




And you wanted to vomit.

What meaning does the union between two people not in love carry? Surely genuine love is worth more than all the fucking shillings a rich man could acquire in Britain.




Sighing, you lazily shifted yourself off of your soft, warm bed, and went to the refresher to clean up and begin your day.




-




As you made your way downstairs, you found your two sisters, Eleanor and Louisa, scrambling aimlessly around the family room in a quarrel.




"What have you done with my most precious necklace, Louisa!" Eleanor yelled, voice laced with malice.




"Well, why don't you ask her!" Louisa angrily shouted back, pointing at you.




Eleanor's demeanor relaxed, knowing you were only just waking up. "I'm very sorry, but do you know where my necklace went?" She paused, beginning to panic senselessly, "Oh, I just must wear it at father's ball tonight!"
