May by lluvsunii

1813. London. ... Eighteen-year-old Sofia May, a peasant girl and immigrant, has been handed over to the Bennet family as a servant. She should feel lucky, right? but luck has little to do with what awaits her. Destined to inherit the crown of England, Prince Francis Bennet, soon to be king, and bound to an arranged marriage, was not a man one could ever afford to displease. Young, clever, and fiercely determined, twenty-one-year-old Francis was arrogant, commanding, and put simply; disrespectful. He would never relent until he obtained what he desired. And what did he desire? Power. Absolute control. The throne of England as his own. Yet fate had other plans. A commoner could not be with a prince; or so the world said. But what if love dared to defy law and duty? What if the struggle to be together tested them to the brink of ruin.. or death? This is a tale of passion and peril, of forbidden love tested by betrayal, loss, and the relentless cruelty of circumstance. One between King Francis and Sofia May, his servant, and yet perhaps something far more. ••• He was the only one who ever called me May. No one had ever called me just May. "May," he said. "It's Sofia," I spat, sharp as a whip. He chuckled softly. "I find it amusing that you think I care," he said. "I may call you what I please. And so, you shall be May. Just May. Understood?" He smirked, green eyes glinting with cruel amusement. I loathed him. God, who did he think he was? "Of course, my lord. If that pleases you." I forced a smile, hiding the fire I felt rising within me. ••• "I cannot have you, Sofia May. I am wrong for you," he confessed, his voice low, restrained, yet trembling just enough that I knew the truth lay beneath. "No. No, you are just right for me," I whispered. "I believe that. Don't you?" "I... I do," he admitted, each word a struggle, his eyes betraying the turmoil he refused to name. {Mature

Ruining Sofia by SinfulGuilt

"How could you?" Sofia looked at her husband Hector. "You are overreacting. It's just above you." "I am telling you that a man was... inappropriate to me...he said he wanted to..." Sofia's voice was shaking. "We are all adults here. He has taken a liking to you. Consider yourself lucky. You have no idea where this man can get us. To where this connection can get us..." "I am your wife." Sofia scoffed. "And, I am consenting to this." Hector cut her off. "Hector, don't!" Sofia tried to shut him up, but Hector continued. "It doesn't change anything. Make him happy. He won't be wanting it all the time. He had hundreds of women for him. This will all be over in a month or two. But you can be good friends in the future, and he can be kind to you. And, us! Think where his connections can get us." At first, if Antonio's behavior in the past seemed a problem, now adding her husband's ideas about all this worried Sofia more. It seems the very man she expected to protect her from a predator was ready to throw her to that animal. Sofia recalled how Antonio had always tried to be a gentleman. But there was nothing gentle about his intentions. Only his eyes and direct approach with his words were enough to tell Sofia about it. She could still recall the day when he had told her. "You will warm my bed one day. And, your husband will drive you here that day." At that time, she slapped him, but now it seems he had won. Sofia gulped, looking at Hector. Her Hector couldn't be this blind. It wasn't that simple. She could tell that Antonio had spent a great deal of time brainwashing her husband. Sofia rubbed her cheeks and told her husband off while walking away. "This isn't happening. Not today. Not ever." Sofia accepts a gift card from her neighbor for a spa day. The most mundane day gets her in the way of an obsessive trillionaire, who has only one agenda. If you can't have it, ruin it.

This is a fanfiction of the After Series about Emery Scott, Tessa's and Hardin's daughter. I have changed some of the fact than the last book left but tried to include as many similarities as possible. Hope you will enjoy this teenage drama about modern forbidden love.

Her best friend is her cousin Addelyn Rose who also is her classmate at the New York Elite Private School, a private school known to students with wealthy and famous parents. When Emery finally persuaded her stubborn father to go on a school trip to Washington, a journey she would never forget. She meets the kind hearted but dark Kian Evans who seems to have searched his way into her heart. Emery seems to have been born with her father's bad luck and love is not as easy as it is claimed in books. For two weeks she has to deal with blood, sweat and tears for the sake of love. Sexual acts and bad language arise in the story. I am Swedish so if the grammar does not match then I apologize in advance, lol.
