"Alright, I'm here for the romance, but that's a little creepy."

FLASHBACK

"Let go of me, Nathaniel!" (y/n) yelled while the hand of her abusive ex-husband clung onto hers. Her face was stained with dry tears as she tried to rip his hand away.

"No." he said with no emotion in his voice. (y/n) kept grasping her left hand with her right, trying her best to get away from the monster before her.

She stopped for a moment, looking at the man she had once loved, crushed at the fact he was like this. Her body had cuts and bruises all over, it was finally time for her to get out of this mess.

(y/n) then took her leg and kneed him where the sun doesn't shine. He let go of the poor girl due to the pain, and she took the chance to run.

She grabbed the bag she already had packed, which included a few items of clothing, some food, water, a few hygiene items, and the money she had been saving.

She rushed out the door, while the voice of her abuser called after her.

"COME BACK!" the man screamed, "YOU'LL NEVER GET FAR!"

FLASHBACK OVER

(y/n) had made it to the docks, getting on whichever boat was leaving first. Being a 27 year old woman escaping an abusive marriage wasn't very fun.

She pushed her (h/c) hair behind her ears and started to board the boat. It wasn't fairly busy, just a few people.

"Excuse me sir, where is this boat headed to?" (y/n) asked an older man, maybe in his 50s.

"London, ma'am!" the man replied, quite cheery. She nodded as if saying thank you, and walked over to an open area.

'Great.' she thought. (y/n) had barely any money, how was she supposed to afford a house? In London?

(y/n) was from (where you're from), so she didn't have any experience in Europe. (a/n, if you're from Europe just pretend you're not)

Time skip to London

After a very long boat ride, (y/n) had finally arrived in London. She looked around at the dull city, mentally yelling at herself for choosing THIS boat.

"Hey pretty lady, you look lost." a man said with a wink as (y/n) got off the boat.

"Oh piss off." she said while rolling her eyes. The man glared at her, but she brushed it off. She started her way down the streets of London, catching the eyes of many men.

She turned corners left and right, looking for a place that didn't seem too busy. She was getting tired, the long boat ride wore her out and now this.

(y/n) started to speed up, getting dizzy from all the walking. She silently rambled to herself, talking about how stupid she is for going to goddamn London.

As (y/n) walked, she wasn't looking where she was going. She crashed into a man causing them both to fall over.

"Oh my god, sir, I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed while standing up and reaching out to help the man. The man was slightly chubby, with moles on his face. He wore expensive looking clothes, and a nice top hat.

"Oh, that's okay m'lady." he said with a smug grin on his face. 'Judge Turpin would like this one.' the man thought.

(y/n) smiled slightly, the man was polite, but she felt uneasy. He stuck out his hand, gesturing for her to shake it.
