"It's that feeling of helplessness that turns good people.... Cruel."

Meet Katherine, "Kat",  McKenna, a twenty-seven year old fresh out of Law School and ready to change the world. She gets an interview at one of the most prestigious law firms in Eastwood, Alabama, which is extremely rare for someone like her, as it's 1949 and a lot of people don't like the idea of women in the office. She battles others for a chance to prove that women can do everything that men can. But that isn't all that's in store for her. 
After a series of events that lead to her finding a note from a relative she presumed dead, Kat goes on a hunt to discover the truth about what really happened. She discovers that sometimes, the truth hurts.

(Note all characters are made up and the events are loosely based on actual events. Peggy Carter and others were the inspiration for Kat)

Alexandria Evergreen, a bored heiress to her dearest father's hotel empire with a penchant for justice on her own terms and too much time on her hands, lives a life of luxury and moral ambiguity. Behind her poised façade lies a dangerous secret: she quite enjoys seeing the life leave the eyes of abusive and perverted men - and the occasional woman - who believe themselves untouchable, operating in the shadows of high society. Clarke Griffin, a struggling law student in her final year, is barely holding her life together. Clarke has just landed an internship at a prestigious law firm, a position she fought hard for. Now all she wants is to graduate, pass the bar exam, and start building her career, following in the footsteps of her late father. From the moment Alexandria lays eyes on a stunning Clarke, she's obsessed. What could possibly go wrong when one is morally grey at best, entirely unhinged and a walking red flag at worst and the other embodies everything Alexandria isn't - pure, principled, and committed to the legal system? I'll be putting trigger warnings below, and I will add to the list as new potential triggers become relevant in the story. Always feel free to let me know if I have missed any. TW: Strong language, blood and gore, murder, sexual content, mature themes, violence, mentions of abuse (of all kinds), sexism, torture, mention of drugs, mention of suicide, absolute toxic, obsessive, and unhinged behavior.

"It's my life!" I can't stop screaming at him. I'm going mad. I can't breathe-this can't be happening. His haunted green eyes meet mine. "Don't you see?" A pause. A deep breath. A question I will never be able to answer. "It's not yours." I don't think I'm breathing. I wait for the words I never wanted to hear. Screams seem to echo in my mind but longing silence surrounds us. "It's theirs" *** Katherine hasn't been tagged. She still loves, she still cries, she still smiles. But nobody knows. In a world where feeling any emotion is a death sentence, she clings to any hope of change. Even if change is promised by a mysterious boy that knows things that nobody else should know and makes her question everything she believed in. But maybe Jack isn't who he seems. And maybe when you've been bathed in secrets for your whole life, it's hard to see what's real and what's a lie. Maybe the Society is right and Kath is crazy. Or maybe, her whole life has been a lie.

*SLOWLY BEING EDITED* Zane had a special mission to accomplish. No one could find out that he's undercover. No one. But with those hazel eyes and her smart mouth he couldn't stay away from her. She was making him feel things he never knew it was possible. Yet bringing her into his world was dangerous especially because of her sudden connection to his case. Katherine has a baggage full of insecurities and trust issues. She never had an official boyfriend and being 24 that's socially unacceptable. The danger those grey eyes emit should scare her away. He was trouble and she knew that but she couldn't help it. The attraction she feels towards him is scaring her. Is it worth taking the risk? ........ "Can you cook?" "I can" "Good, what about laundry and cleaning?" I nodded. "Fuck Angel, you're like the perfect woman and you still want me to be your friend" He joked and found myself laughing. "Because I am the perfect housewife?" I asked arching an eyebrow. "No, because you are the perfect combination of smart, beautiful, and skillful." I blushed at that and I wanted to look away but one of his hands stopped me and turned my face towards him. "Get used to hearing compliments because you're going to hear them often in the future. Now, about my offer..." He gave me an expectant look. I thought for a while. I still wasn't sure it was a good idea but I liked working at the shop and still wanted to work there for a little while. "Alright, let's do it," I said. "Now? Here? Damn Angel, first the fiancé thing, and now this. For someone inexperienced, you sure move fast" He joked and I laughed. *Warning ⚠️* Strong language, triggering topics such as body shaming, depression...
