Arabella has lived a life of solitary for seventeen years. 

Since her adoption as an infant by the LeBlancs, a family of nobility in Victorian London, Arabella has been kept in her room for most of her life, her stuffed bear as her only companion. She reads of freedom novels, and longs for it dearly. But when it one day appears in her room in the form of the tall-light-and-handsome Nathaniel Harland, Arabella is hesitant—but when she is faced between the choice of going with Nate, or staying with the LeBlancs and marrying Howard Oakley, a powerful noble who happens to be twice her age, Arabella absconds with Nate. 

What Nate doesn’t tell her is that he’s a part of The Men of Justice, an association of bandits who rebel against the rich and fight for the poor. And when the other members are hesitant on letting in a member of the enemy, the wealthy daughter of a noble, she is allowed to stay, so long as Nate keeps close tabs on her. But with her mother doing all she can to find her again, a secrets and disputes arise between the nobles and the paupers. Arabella had never imagined that freedom could come at such a price.

''Let me help you, ma'am,'' a man who was probably the flight attendant said. Damn. Ryerson Reeds even had handsome flight attendants. The man stooped a bit, leaning close to her and taking the seatbelt from her hands. He was holding eye contact and Lyla felt herself grow amused as she stared back at him. He was going to start buckling her up before someone cleared their throat loudly. They both looked up to meet Reeds' blue-green eyes. ''I think I can help my wife, thank you,'' he said. Lyla's eyebrows shot up. The dude barely talked to her and he was already getting possessive? How does that even add up? Reeds stopped taking the two parts of the seat belt in his hands, ''you couldn't do this without help?'' he muttered to her savagely. Lyla glared at him, before he could even get the belt close to her she took it from his hands and snapped it in the right place. She gave him a sickly sweet smile and Reeds simply scoffed and walked to his seat. The rest of the plane ride was quiet. One would think after that small exchange they would start having some kind of conversation. Wrong. ___________________ This isn't a cliche story where the girl falls for the guy by a simply little gaze. She's stubborn, she's maybe a little relatable, and she's assertive. But she didn't think she was for him. Lyla Vell; the name itself oozed the confidence which was her, and Ryersoon Reeds? Two words to describe him: Arrogant and plain painful. And when these two personalities are in an arranged marriage. Shit about to go down. ___ This is my first Wattpad story. Hope you'll like it! This entire story is NOT mature. Only the last few chapters are and you can still finish the plot without reading those few mature chapters. For those who are hesitant to read the story because it is tagged mature, I'm promising you only the last few chapters are mature, you can read chapters 1-19 without any disturbance of smut. That was for those who're hesitant. Love you. DON'T COPY MY WORK!

The people who live on the Island of Niapachad are a throwback to the past, thus there are stories and mysteries there that will transport you back in time. The community is unusual, they dress strangely, and they talk strangely. They were still accustomed to the outdated social structure, which consisted of gentry. While you're here, there's a ton of stuff to learn and explore. Enthralling balls, captivating operas, and breathtaking vistas from throughout the island. But exercise caution-you never know what lies in wait, and it might turn out to be more than simply the lovely fantasy you've always desired. ***** Lady Emily Moore had had enough of living in a chilly, isolated home. She so started working for the Marquess of Kain as a maid. She had never been happier since the three months she spent dressing down as a commoner were worth more than her whole life combined. However, she was unaware of the housemaster's sinister secret. Marquess of Kain, Dorian Hassildor, is under pressure from the Higher Court to be married and have a child so that his lineage can continue. He had no idea where to search until he met his maid, who had been working hard for him. She has manners and etiquette that a regular person shouldn't know, he observed. However, he discovered the truth and resolved to claim that maid as his own. Will Emily agree to Dorian's proposal or will she flee following a terrible mishap that reveals the gentry's true nature right before her eyes? Will Emily be persuaded to stay by Dorian despite the revelation of a sinister secret?
