Anyone who had ever read a novel knew that governesses were supposed to be meek and downtrodden. They were also supposed to be quiet, subservient, and obedient, not to mention deferential to the master of the house. Leo, Lord Ramsay, wondered in exasperation why they couldn't have gotten one of those. Instead the Hathaway family had hired Catherine Marks, who, in Leo's opinion, cast an unflattering shadow upon the entire profession.
It wasn't that Leo found fault with Marks's actual abilities. She had done an excellent job of instructing his two youngest sisters, Poppy and Beatrix, in the finer points of social etiquette. And they had needed an inordinate amount of help, since none of the Hathaways had ever expected to mingle in the upper circles of British society. They had been reared in a strictly middle-class environment, in a village west of London. Their father, Edward Hathaway, had been a medieval history scholar, considered a man of good blood but hardly an aristocrat.
However, after a series of unlikely events, Leo had inherited the title of Lord Ramsay. Although he had trained to be an architect, he was now a viscount with land and tenants. The Hathaways had moved to the Ramsay estate in Hampshire, where they had struggled to adjust to the demands of their new life.

ARRANGED MARRIAGE "I will not marry anyone. I don't care if it's for alliance, because we both know we don't need it!" I hissed back. Our mafia was one of the most feared, if not the most. No one dared touch us, so why marry a man who cannot give us anything. Before I got to speak up again my father slapped me right across the face. I gasped and put a hand to my cheek. My mouth stayed shut and I sat down in silence. Neither my mother or my brother did or said anything. I wouldn't except them to, since they never did. "I am your father and you will show me respect!" He demanded and sat back down. My cheek ached and I knew it would leave a mark. One I would have to cover up later. "But father, if you just tell me why," I tried and he cut me off again by picking up a fork and throwing it in my direction. He missed by a few inches only. My mother stared blankly down at her plate, not wanting to show my father a reaction. "Do not question me Katherine. You're leaving tomorrow" He said at last. ----------- What happens when the stubborn and independent Katherine Lopez is forced into marriage? Was it all for alliance between two mafias like her father said? And how far will she go to break the arrangement before the wedding date? Will she kill to get what she wants?

Wanna know something that maybe Diabolik lovers creator didn't approve ? Born into a noble family, Beatrix was expected to follow the strict rules of high society, where men held power, and women were seen as mere ornaments. However, she refused to conform. Unlike the other noblewomen, Beatrix possessed remarkable intelligence and a sharp mind, earning admiration from some and disdain from others. The townspeople whispered behind her back, calling her "dirty noble" or "dirty-mud-ball" simply because she dared to be different. But Beatrix had no interest in their approval-her only goal was to find her missing older sister and escape the suffocating town that refused to accept her.

Their fated meeting would set in motion events that would change the course of her life-and the supernatural world-forever. A/N: Set in 1884, during the Victorian era. Since Beatrix from Diabolik Lovers has no backstory, I will create one for her. It may not be entirely accurate, but I wanted to explore how she met Karlheinz and how everything happened. 📜 THIS IS NOT OFFICIAL ©️ : Rejet
