The Bennetts are a family of seven: Mr. Bennett, Mrs. Bennett, Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty, and Lydia. Mr. Bennett owns his own firm, Bennett and Associates. They specialize in car accidents- the law firms you see on the billboards with the tacky slogans like "Did you meet on accident?" Or "Call 1-800-CAR-4LYF" with Mr. Bennett's face plastered upon them. In the law community, they are kind of a joke. When tragedy strikes, Mr. Bennett is diagnosed with stage 3 prostate cancer, the family needs to find an acting CEO to make sure their practice can stay afloat. Here's the catch, based on the Bennett family tradition, the predecessor has to be a man. Elizabeth Bennett, one that is so dedicated to law, is eager to push the new CEO to the side and obtain what she believes is rightfully hers. Based on the events and characters of Pride and Prejudice, follow the Bennetts along in this journey of love, romance, drama, pride, and prejudice as they figure out what to do with their family matters.

The only assembly she ever attended was the one where Mr. Bingley had come with his sisters, brother in law and a Mr. Darcy When Mr. Darcy first saw her, she was in a corner with Mary.

The Perks Of Falling For Your Bestfriend✔
"In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." -Pride and Prejudice. -Jane Austen. Allison Waters is a girl as simple as they come, atleast that's what she believed. And to be honest she did enjoy a simple life for the past two years. All she wanted to pass her senior year in peace and be happy in life. What she wasn't expecting was to be back in town with a certain Greek God of a Devil acting more annoying than ever... Calling him tall dark and handsome would be the understatement of the century. He is the arrogant quarterback and one of the most popular guys in shcool. He is as I mention previously the reincarnation of the devil in his actions and a Greek God in the looks department, with startling blue eyes, a sinful body and gorgeous hair, who may at different times define the words Cocky and Adorable. Quite a contrast isn't it? Well that's who he is, or for that matter how we all are... a bit of both. Ashton Fobes is Alli's bestfriend, well Ex-Bestfriend, he is also her arch nemisis, her sworn enemy, but he is also the only one who can make her push her limits and challenge her in ways she never thought possible. Soon they were playing with Cupid's arrows trying to set up the unlikeliest couple imaginable, but what they seemed to have forgotten was Fate's wierd sense of humor and so it turned out while they were playing with Cupid's Arrows, he was aiming them at these two instead. Ps: I have now unpublished most of the chapters. Highest Ranking: 30, 35, 50 in teen fiction. 32, 66 in ChickLit. 46, 47, 78 in humor.Complete

Pride And Prejudice, The Sequel
I have just finished reading Pride and Prejudice for the 100th time, and I really wanted to see how Elizabeth and Darcy handle their married life, so I decided to write my own sequel. This is just to satisfy my own wild side, I have never been to Great Britain (but I would love to!), and I know very little of the 19th century traditions. *I appreciate all the corrections I get on the culture/timeline/location/language/plotline dearly and would do my best to fix my mistakes in the story. I only request that you put a smiley face emoji at the end of a correction 😀. It is not a requirement, but it would be highly appreciated.Complete
