"Well it is unfortunate that you will be saddled with a husband, despite your preference to remain a spinster," Mr Wilkes said with a smirk. "I beg your pardon?" The faintest alarm flickered in his eyes. "You don't really intend to refuse me?" The look on his face turned to that of a bewildered schoolboy. Frederick Wilkes was not used to refusal. "You don't really mean to propose marriage to a lady you have just met?" London, 1910. A strange bequest in a will leads to Mary Taylor hastily marrying reckless playboy Frederick Wilkes. Fred has a bad reputation but it is the seemingly moral Mary's past that threatens to destroy them both. A story of love, betrayal and murder.

"Do you know what to do, Amunet?" A voice as sweet as silk whispered into the young girl's ear. Amunet didn't look over her shoulder, but shifted uncomfortably on her bare feet before nodding her head. A soft hand touched her back and urged her forward. All eyes turned towards the girl dressed in transparent linen with her dark hair tumbling down her back and her violet eyes lined by kohl. Every movement caused the jewels on her wrists and ankles to dangle and shimmer in the light. She raised her head and found the Pharaoh's transfixed stare. His jade eyes narrowed in on hers and the room became still and silent. Amunet bowed and, at the pluck of a harp string, began to dance. --- DISCLAIMER: this story is NOT historically accurate. It does not take place in any real time period and therefore there will be inaccuracies and areas that don't make sense in the context of "ancient Egypt." CONTENT WARNING: though this story is not explicit (sexual or otherwise), it does mention more mature themes that may be troubling to some readers, including but not limited to forced prostitution and miscarriage. cover by @Addietay
