"Don't shout at me in front of the servants!" his fiancée snapped in anger.
"A servant?" Solàin's eyes flicked toward the maid. "That's your concern right now? A maid? You should be more worried about me."
The maid lowered her eyes, the sting of the insult cutting deep. She gripped her broom tightly, trying to steady herself.
Solàin was a nobleman, a French lord of the estate, and she was a mere maid-in a society where class and status ruled. She was in love with her lord of the manor-who didn't even know she existed.

♜ Lockhart Manor ♜ by Emmeress
7 parts Ongoing Mature
"You have been chosen to serve me directly." Lockhart's voice, deep and deliberate, tore Agatha from her thoughts. Me?... my lord? Agatha 's lips parted, but the words never escaped her. Her mind raced in confusion and a slow dread began to creep over her, settling in her stomach. She wanted nothing more than to quit the room and return to her chamber. She closed her mouth and swallowed, dropping her gaze. "From now on, you will remain in the quarters I have provided for you. You will not return to the west wing, but will report to Malcolm tomorrow for your duties." He paused, allowing his words to sink in. "What of my duties in the west wing... my lord?" Her voice trailed off as Lockhart's writing stilled, the pen motionless on the page. She immediately regretted the question. "As my servant, your duty is to me and no other. Any disobedience on your part will be met with severe consequences. Is that understood?" Agatha didn't know what to say, and she doubted she had any choice in the matter. Did Betsy know of this? Did Jasper? Perhaps this was why he was so upset earlier. She tried to collect her thoughts, but the revelations were too sudden for her mind to comprehend. There was a suffocating air about this man and she knew she must not ask any more questions. She resolved to ask Betsy later when they were alone. "Yes, my lord," she muttered. "When you address me, you will call me master." His voice was stern, and Agatha could hear an edge of agitation beneath his words. She remained silent, the sinking feeling in her stomach growing heavier with each passing moment. Lockhart's head turned slightly, and the side of his profile set in a grimace. "Do you understand, servant?" he growled, enunciating each word. "Yes... master," Agatha murmured. "Good," he said, turning back to his papers. His pen began to write. "You may go."

Still mourning from the untimely death of her mother, and a week before leaving the Nassau county with her best-friend, and with that, everything else she had ever known, Sol find herself wrongfully charged and incarcerated for the murder of a member of her family. Already depressed at the idea of her once-promising future now marred by the bleak confine of a prison cell, she now also has to the deal with the fact that she has just caught the eyes of a man, whose power and reputation for brutality alone precede him. ....... "Little flower" , He said, his fingers gently tilting my head up to look at him. "Yes", I breathlessly exhaled "If you ever speak to me like that again, I will rip your fucking throat out.", He continued with a terrifying smile. ...... - And because his ancestors were never picky about their business endeavours, partly due to their direct ties to royalty, and due to their connections to upper-class members of the justice system in Europe and eventually in North America and Asia, the man's family had been direct benefactors of both world wars due to their involvement in the weapon industry, and as suppliers of the adrenaline-pumping drug both the Germans and the French/Americans were injecting in their soldiers before sending them to battle. It's safe to say the man's power knew no bound or restrain. Power that carried through with every single one of the man's actions. Indeed, The man never yelled and never raised his voice, he never had to. The man was curt in his speech. His deep, raspy, baritone voice almost always resonated through with the same monotonous tone. Unless it was to handle his bi-daily entertainments, which were often eccentric in genre and deriving from eclectic sources. It was only then, you'd see the man's eyes twinkle with amusement, frequently at the expense of others. - ______ WARNING [Contains mature, potentially triggering content]

Back in this day and age, royalty no longer wedded royalty, simply because everyone now wanted to marry for love. Which is why a union like ours would have effortlessly drawn the crowd; peharps more enemies than friends. The marriage of a blooded royalty to a birthed royalty. Blue blood to blue blood. A union like ours, was bound to change lives to come, generations, eras even, and unwittingly... The life of my unborn child. BUT EVERYONE'S FORGOTTEN ONE RULE. "For a union to be made, royalty or no royalty, the bride and groom at least have to be present. Vows can't be made, if one of the pair gets missing. Or absent. So what happens when the bride gets kidnapped and killed? No. Don't despair. That's not the end of everything; its just the beginning, for even ghosts and corpses still have to hold on to their important earthly commitments they had, before they died. And as I take in my last couple of breaths, nothing else rips my heart apart more than the fact that my own wedding, that is supposed to have me as its bride, goes on without me. An imposter in my spot? Convenient. I hope she's also prepared to fuck my husband on our wedding night too? Don't they know that Chris knows every inch of the body of the woman he fell in love with? He'd know.. He has to... They'll all have to know... I can't exit this way. ♣° ♣° ♣° ♣° ♣° ♣° ♣° ♣° ___________________ ∞~•♦|| " I no longer know if I'm dead or alive. A corpse or a ghost. I exist in two realms at the same time, I live in two worlds and two different time frames all at once, and I, Ajora, have fallen in love with two different men who know two very different and conflicting sides of me. This my story." ||♦•~∞ ___________________ ¶> ROMANCE ¶> FANTASY ¶> THRILLER EstherDibie (Estyshawl♥)...

I've been locked in this mysterious mansion for ten years. Cleaning and following the rules of a Lord whose face I've never seen. Rule 1: Don't walk the halls at night Rule 2: Never leave the property Rule 3: Don't ask about the Lord of the estate Once you leave the mansion, you can't come back. My mother tells me I should be thankful because only crime and death remain outside the gates after the war. But after ten years of cleaning the same halls and reading the same books, after ten years of unanswered questions, my curiosity got the best of me. I snuck out of the mansion and went to the nearby town: a crime that could get me banished. I began asking about the mysterious Lord, and tonight, I will walk the forbidden halls and hope to catch a glimpse of him. This is a 15-chapter sample. The Complete story is on patreon.com/ancientt
