Summary
Do you require support? Are you in need of economic or political advantages? Try marriage: society's tit-for-tat strategic alliance. Darcy and Elizabeth both took a stab at it. Just look at them... each floundering in their little prudent union.
That life could be otherwise is a futile exercise in magical thinking. But there is no trespassing ban marking the dark alleys of the mind. This story is about those who venture there.

Summary
What if Elizabeth Bennet had met not a romantic hero, but a less idealised representative of his privileged class and era?
Fitzwilliam Darcy here does not follow his canonical redemption arc by choosing to learn better. He has wealth and power, and uses both without scruples.
The social context of early nineteenth-century England was often harsh for the most vulnerable, including women. Their options were cruelly limited by law, custom, and economic dependency, especially when opposed to ruthless men of consequence.
Not every story ends where you expect. Sometimes the villain stays a villain.
Content includes themes of explicit, coerced intimacy, emotional manipulation, and morally ambiguous behaviour. Please read with care.
Intended for adult readers (18+).
This novel is complete. A new chapter will be posted weekly, usually on Mondays or Fridays.
