BLACK ROSES Pt.4

Pairing: Mafia!Lee Jeno x Florist!Reader

Trope: Grumpy x sunshine

Genre: Dark Mafia Romance

Word count: 1.7k

Synopsis:

Lee Jeno is a dangerous man. From going on k!lling sprees for fun to torturing and k!lling his own father. He does it all. In short Lee Jeno is the devil.

Y/N is a florist. She's as pure as they come. Nothing exciting ever happens in her life and she’s okay with that. In short Y/N is an angel.

He was bad and she was good. They were complete opposites.

…Or so they thought

Get your tissues for this one. It's gonna be one hell of a ride

Warnings for this chapter: mentions of blood, torture, bodily harm, scars etc. Jeno is obsessed.

*((((A/N: words in bold are her conscience and words spoken in Korean are in italics ))))*

FLOWER OF THE DAY: The Tiger lily represents confidence and not arrogance or vanity, and this is why the flower was often associated with nobility in times past. In Buddhism, tiger lilies are symbolic of the virtues of mercy and compassion.

“Miss, it now time for dinner. Master Jeno will not be joining us again this evening” Jieun said as she peeked her head through my bedroom door.

I waved my hand at her in dismissal before looking over at the digital clock on the nightstand.

‘6:00 PM’ it said.

Of course. I had been eating dinner at 6pm for the past three weeks. Without Jeno.

This is his house, but he’s never here. The last time I saw him was when we had our argument in his office.

And he licked your tears.

Which led to me awkwardly running out the door with tears still streaming down my face.

I got lost not even five minutes after that and had to get another maid to help me back to my room.

Ever since then ‘Master Jeno’ was nowhere to be seen.

Sighing I got up off the bed, not bothering to change out of the oversized t-shirt I was given (with no shorts) and made my way downstairs for dinner.

The minute I stepped into the dining room, the smell of Beef practically assaulted my nose causing my mouth to salivate and my stomach rumble.

I made my way to the same chair I’ve been sitting on for these three weeks waiting on Jongup to bring the food.

Jeno not being here allowed me to get to know the staff a little better so we were on good terms. Ironically the only worker here who didn’t warm up to me was Jieun. Although, I kind of got the vibe that she didn’t like me from the get-go.

The dining room was probably the most beautiful place - next to the kitchen of course – in this hell hole.

With marble floors and an oval table surrounded by velvet chairs, I fell in love with it immediately.

The chandelier hanging directly over the table only added to the beauty of the room.

“Y/n, I made wagyu is that okay?” the sweet voice of Jongup spoke behind me.

Turning around, I smiled when I met his wide eyes. The poor guy was traumatized from Jeno’s temper. He was a few years younger than me and recently just graduated high school. He worked here because his family Has been working for Jeno’s for a while.

“That’s fine Jongup. Bring it here and come eat with me.” I spoke. Although it took some serious convincing, he had been eating with me for the past two weeks.

I watched as he walked to wards the table setting the platter of meet down before turning to me with apologetic eyes.

“What’s wrong sweetheart?” I asked concerned.

“I’m afraid I can’t eat with you tonight. Master Jeno will be coming soon, and it would get me in trouble.” He said solemnly.

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion “I thought Jeno wasn’t joining us today”.

“I changed my mind.” An all too familiar voice spoke.

Judging from the way Jongup stiffed and practically ran away, I knew Jeno was back.

From God knows where.

The sound of his shoes meeting the tiles echoed throughout the room.

Great, now because of him my second favourite room in this house has now been placed on the bottom of the list.

He came to a halt directly behind my chair and leaned down inhaling my scent.

” It’s good manners to greet other when you see them Y/n”. His hot breath touched my ear.

He smelt like cigarettes and aftershave. Ew.

Yum.

“You saw me in here first, so you are the one who should greet me” I spat out.

He stood up straight and chuckled.

It happened all too quickly.

One second I was facing the able and the next, I was facing him.

He fucking spun the chair around.

This fucking bitch.

He used his hands to cage me. One arm on each side of the chair.

He peered down at me with a dark look in his eyes “I’ve missed you and your fucking mouth.”

His eyes started to tail down my body before stopping at my legs.

His body jolted as if something shocked him. “Flower, is this how you’ve been coming downstairs foe the past weeks?”

I stared at him in a daze. I finally got a good look at him after these three weeks and he looked the same. Except for the very obvious blood stains on his white button up and black slacks.

Suddenly he grabbed my arms and pulled me up and into him. “Answer the question baby I hate repeating myself I’m only doing this because it’s you. Is this how you’ve been dressing since I left?”

“Yes” the only word I could get out before I was being dragged up the stairs.

I tried to pull my hands out of his grip but to no avail.

“Jeno let me go”.

“Shut up. How fucking dare, you let anybody else see what I’ve only dreamt about. You’re going to change into proper clothes. Now.” He grumbled out.

When we made it to the top of the stairs, he dropped my hands and continued walking.

Stupidly, I followed him.

Eventually he stopped at a door I didn’t recognize.

“This is my room. Until I have time to take you shopping you will wear my clothes. This is how I’ll mark you. With my clothes my scent and soon my very being.” He said with his back turned to me.

Not long after he opened the door and we stepped into his room.

It was bare of any pictures and colour.

Just a King-sized bed in the middle. A dresser in the far left pf the room a tv on the wall and two doors one of which must be his bathroom and the other his closet.

“How fitting” I mumbled

He turned to me and raised his eyebrows as if to ask me what I mean.

“You’re a soulless prick. So, it makes sense your room looks like none lives here.” I explained.

He let out a breathy chuckle and then smirked “That mouth of yours is going to get you in serious trouble Flower. Be careful.”

Shaking his head, he walked over to one of the doors I had seen earlier.

He opened it to reveal his closet.

“Go ch-“ before he could finish his sentence his phone started ringing,

He clenched his jaw in annoyance and mumbled “I told these fuckers not to call me”.

Taking his phone out his pocket he accepted the call and brought it to his ear.

“Speak.” He said into the phone.

He pointed at me then the closet and stepped out leaving no room for argument.

Signing I stepped into the huge closet (that I’m pretty sure could be used as a bedroom) and started to strip. Not before looking to see if Jeno was watching.

You would want him to.

Shaking my head at my silly thoughts I picked out a random shirt and sweatpants.

All was well until I caught the sight of my bare back in the mirror.

The marks bringing back painful memories I prayed to forget.

I hated looking at them.

They made me feel weak.

Nonetheless, I couldn’t help but stare at them.

They were cigarette burns.

‘You can’t ever leave me Dove; I’ll always find you.’

I sucked in a sharp breath trying to pry my mind away from such memories. I turned away from the mirror trying to finish the task at hand.

I was about to unclasp my bra when I heard his voice.

“What is that?” Jeno barked out.

My body jolted in shock as he spoke.

Nervously I looked around the room avoiding his eye contact “W-what?”

He grunted and quickly stalked towards me.

He gripped my waist and pulled me into him, he was searching my face for something

“Someone hurt you flower, tell me who.”

I felt his hands running down the middle of my back

I tensed in response to his touch.

Suddenly, he turned me around so I was now facing the mirror and my back was turned to him.

I feel exposed.

I hate it.

I feel vulnerable.

I really, really hate it.

"Who did this to you?" He asked quietly, his eyes scanning my back.

"None of your goddamn business" I fumed. I was embarrassed. He shouldn't have seen that.

"Flower, I'm sure you've gathered by now that I have very little patience." He said sharply.

"Who did this to you?" he continued. His eyes were still scanning my back, now with a dangerous glint.

I shut my eyes tightly contemplating whether or not I should tell him something so painful.

Tell him. He'll protect you...he has to.

I swallowed thickly, still unsure if I was going to do this or not.

"It was..."

I breathed out. I felt nauseous.

“It was my brother”.

Words I never thought would fall out of my mouth eventually did.

His hands had moved from my back and were now gripping my shoulders tightly.

Through the reflection I the mirror I could see that his jaw was clenched, and his eyes were dripping with murderous intent.

“Why?” he asked, with a a slight rasp to his voice.

“I’m not ready to share that” I said shakily.

I felt too open now. It was uncomfortable.

He inhaled deeply and started to caress my shoulder with his thumbs.

“I can kill him for you flower. I don’t know what he has done but he put you in danger and for that ill carve his skin off his body and watch his raw flesh rot. Anything you want I’ll do it for you”.

I sucked in a breath at how dark Jeno sounded. Something n me told me he wasn’t bluffing.

“I don’t think that’s a good idea. That would make me just as bad as him”

Abruptly, he turned me around to face him “Nothing could taint you, baby. I would kill him myself and If I got caught I would take the fall a thousand times over and over. I would kill for you. You deserve that.”

Arrow of Time: Chapter 5 [Five Hargreeves/ F Reader]

(Hard Feelings Part 5)

SUMMARY: When the mother of all teenage tantrums causes time itself to fracture, Five has to travel back to 1831 to repair the damage. But will he be able to cope with what he finds there?

Chapter 6 >> << Back to Chapter 4

A new face and and old one.

Chapter 5: Sir Lewis Danforth

As always after the ladies withdraw, the men stay at the dining table to enjoy a drink. It’s a particularly unusual dining room, and the owner of the house at Lafayette Place does as much as possible to show it off to his guests, although they almost always leave it feeling slightly bemused.

The room is dominated by an immense crystal chandelier overhanging the dining table. It hangs by brass chains from a gold-leafed peacock in flight affixed to the ceiling. The body of the immense light-fixture takes the form of a lotus flower in full bloom off which sparkling cut-crystal festoons hang, catching the light attractively.

The rest of the room is equally striking in a way that, if not quite offensive to the eye, is at least highly bewildering: the jade-colored velvet curtains, (held back by gilded snakes wrapped around them), the painted walls adorned with marble pilasters and arched alcoves…it’s as if somebody who once heard the interior of the taj mahal inaccurately described decided to try recreating it in 1830’s Manhattan.

At the head of the long dining table, Sir Lewis Danforth sits splayed in the high-backed mahogany chair, a cigar in one hand and a glass of brandy in the other. Rather like his dining room, Sir Lewis has a look of opulent anatopism about him. Unknowingly, he is around thirty years ahead of his time in wearing a smoking jacket, but his descendants would be unlikely to choose a silk Sherwani to serve as one. His broad, slightly flabby face is currently ruddy with the drink, and he laughs along amiably enough with the other men.

Mr Wilson, a mousy lawyer at the other end of the table, (largely invited for the sake of his much more fashionable wife), ventures a compliment:

“I admired the food today. Most unusual. Quite the culinary experience.”

Sir Lewis smiled with satisfaction. It seemed Wilson had his uses after all. He was desperate to show off a particularly unusual acquisition and Wilson had given him the perfect opening to do so.

“I have not visited the Indian subcontinent myself,” continued Wilson, “but my good friend, Sir Henry Lytton has, and the food we sampled today seemed quite authentic to the flavors he described. Do you keep a Hindoostanne cook?”

“Lord no,” Sir Lewis chortled, “though not for lack of trying. Lady Anne won’t have anybody browner than a pail of milk on the household staff. She nurses unfortunate prejudices, I'm sorry to say.” he swilled down another swallow of liquor, cleared his throat and continued, “No, I had quite the remarkable little find. Ring the bell for me, won’t you, Smyth?”

The visitor at the other end of the table crossed to the bells to summon a servant. When the footman arrived, he was instructed to fetch the cook.

“Now just you wait here, gentleman, and tell me what you think of my special cook. Spent a year on the subcontinent at nineteen years old: India, Ceylon, Bengal and came back with capital knowledge of curries, spice blends, oriental herbs: all you could want.”

“Remarkable. His name, Sir Lewis?” asked Smyth, retaking his seat at the table.

Another chortle rumbled from Danforth as if traveling up his body from his toes, wobbling in his belly before bubbling out of his mouth.

“ Her name, Smyth.”

“A woman?”

“Precisely! And that’s the best part- she commands less of a wage than a man and she provides other… compensations , if you take my meaning.”

Other men around the table joined him in his lascivious chuckle.

“I’ve had her for nearly a year now and I’m perfectly satisfied with her. Hargreeves, she’s called: Mrs Hargreeves. No relation, I hope,” he looks laughingly at one of his guests and then tilts his head as if suddenly struck by his appearance:

“That’s a curious eye-piece you have there, Reginald. A single spectacle?”

“It's called a monocle,” said Hargreeves, shortly, adjusting it slightly, "my own design.”

“And an excellent piece it is too,” said Sir Lewis, “I say, you’ve visited the subcontinent: what do you think of my Mrs Hargreeves’ work?”

“Quite authentic,” he said, simply, “I should have guessed she wasn’t a native but she is, nevertheless, extremely capable.”

To go upstairs to the dining room, it's necessary to wash and change into a clean apron and cap. Why you couldn’t simply take off the apron was still a mystery to you. So many social conventions seemed bizarre, but blending in and keeping in your employers’ good graces was a matter of necessity. Your wages provided you with what felt like your only chance of getting home. Posing as the wife of a missing and presumed dead husband had been your only claim to respectability in this world.Sir Lewis found you on the street one night and assumed you were a prostitute. By then, you had managed to scrape enough money together to buy a cheap dress but not enough to afford room and board any longer.

After you’d refused his offer of payment for your ‘company’, he’d taken pity on you and offered you a meal. From there, conversation had flowed; your tale of woe had appealed to romantic ideas he had held as a very young man and your way of conducting yourself gave a ring of truth to what you told him.

He also mentioned in passing his interest in the Indian subcontinent and you’d leapt upon the commonality: describing the dishes you enjoyed cooking at home and what you knew of the geographical and cultural influences on each region’s cuisine, embellishing your knowledge with well-placed inventions. He’d been easily impressed: it soon became clear that he actually knew very little about the area.

Lady Danforth, however, had been less easy to impress. Although living in New York, she ran the household as if she still lived in England, underlining Sir Lewis’s aristocratic roots as much as possible as an attempted claim to prominence in this alien world.

You knew your presence was a constant annoyance to her. Although the domestic arrangements were her domain, Sir Lewis had imposed you upon her, insisting that she hire you after he had sampled a simple curry you cooked at his request. You’d tried to ingratiate yourself with her but with no luck. You could hardly blame her: like most women of this era, she accepted her husband’s dalliances as a matter of course. She could have probably turned a blind eye were he pursuing a buxom young maidservant, but to have him hankering after a middle-aged cook only a year or two younger than herself was an insult she couldn’t be expected to ignore.

The injustice of this rankles: while you've successfully avoided Lewis's sexual overtures, the entire world (including himself) behaves as if you're actually sleeping together.

The powerlessness is (and has long been) excruciating. For the first few days, you'd expected Five every moment, only leaving the vicinity of alley you arrived in briefly to find the site where the academy buildings would stand, several decades from now. You’d asked shopkeepers to convey a message to any frantic man who arrived but soon necessity had driven you to find this work. It wasn’t the nearest to where you arrived but trying to alert Five to your whereabouts cost money. Five knew what Viktor had done in Dallas when in a similar situation and trying to trace his family. Surely he’d check the newspapers?

That he’d do everything in his power to come was certain. That he hadn’t come yet was your major worry. You missed them both with intensity that had not waned over the months. Thanks to Sir Lewis’s favor, you were treated as an upper servant and this meant having your own small room in the basement servants’ quarters. Although you were suspicious of his reasons for this maneuver, (the hope of a private spot in which to visit you after dark), you hadn’t resisted it: the seclusion of your bedroom allowed you the space you needed to cry yourself to sleep virtually every night. Aoife’s smile and the memory of Five’s caresses were a toxic sustenance in your lonely existence: they formed the anchor to your real life. Too bad if that anchor’s prongs dragged and dug in your gut as if searching for purchase in a too-soft seabed.

Standing outside the drawing room now, listening to their manly, drink-addled chuckles, you take a deep breath and knock.

“Come.”

You open the door, advance a little way into the room and bob a curtsey to the gentlemen still around the table.

“Come in, Mrs Hargreeves. Mr Wilson here was just complimenting our good table.”

“Thank you, sir.” you nod demurely first at Sir Lewis and then at Mr Wilson.

“Very impressive indeed.” said one of the guests in another, clipped British accent. “Under whom did you study?”

The face of the man makes your stomach drop. You’ve seen that face, though older, in portraits and photographs around the Academy. The monocle firmly in place, the mustache, the goatee. Hair fuller and darker than you’d ever seen it pictured. As if to confirm your impossible identification, Sir Lewis says,

“Oh Reginald, you’ve and your odd ‘monocle’ seem to have scared my Mrs Hargreeves. I hope you don’t do the same to your own Mrs Hargreeves?”

He puts a flabby arm around your waist and slaps your hip bracingly and he chortles, pulling you a little closer towards him. As you regain your balance, you answer the alien in a skinsuit who is your father-in-law, for now pushing aside the fact that he’s appearing here nearly one hundred years earlier than any of his children estimated.

“Um…nobody in particular. I traveled and picked up what I could from local women…sir.”

Reginald eyed you with what your paranoid mind was convinced was suspicion as Sir Lewis began to rub firm circles into your hip. You extricated yourself smartly but politely to stand beside the intricately-carved mantle. He chuckled low in his throat. This, in his eyes, was you ‘playing hard to get’.

“You have talent,” Sir Reginald stated, taking a sip of his drink.

“You most certainly do,” concurred another guest.

“But this is a most extraordinary story,” Hargreeves said, speaking over him, “under what circumstances does a nineteen-year-old born and bred American female have the opportunity to explore the Indian subcontinent?”

“Extraordinary circumstances, sir,” you smile, unable to keep the nervous laugh out of your voice. Sir Lewis joins you, chuckling indulgently.

How to tell him or Hargreeves that your knowledge actually comes from cookbooks, youtube and living in a multicultural future? When it becomes clear that this won’t satisfy him, you tell the already-concocted lie:

“My father worked for a spice trader. When my mother died, he sent for me and I spent a year with him until he could secure a position in New York.”

“Hm.” by his tone, you can’t tell whether the sound expresses approval or doubt.

You bob another curtsey and cast a look at Sir Lewis in a silent appeal to be excused.

He nodded, mustache twitching with his grin.

“Thank you, Mrs Hargreeves. You may go.”

The other servants are starting to talk.

As if it wasn’t bad enough that you were strange, made the servants quarters smell of pervasive, unfamiliar spices and seemingly came out of nowhere, you’re also clearly having an immoral relationship with the master. That private bedroom, those evening visits to his study. (“We might not have much schooling”, said the ladies’ maid to the housemaid, “but we weren’t born yesterday”)

When the butler stumps his way ill-naturedly back into the kitchen, he looks to you with gruff annoyance.

“We ought to give you your own bell. Master wants you in his study again.”

You try to conceal a sigh, marking the page in your book.

“Thank you, Mr Hill.”

“Women of your age should know better than to read novels, Mrs Hargreeves. It’ll give you funny ideas.”

“We wouldn’t want that, would we?”

He doesn’t return your smile.

You know you shouldn’t, but you can’t help but like Sir Lewis Danforth. It’s like being pursued by a horny old bulldog with a penchant for belly rubs. He always accepts your rebuffs with a good grace, perhaps even happier than if you’d given in. Yes, he can get a little handsy, but the thrill of the chase is the only thrill he really wants, even if he can’t admit that to himself. If only all sex-pests were as harmless. You’d learned quickly that 21st century feminist ideals were virtually useless here. It wasn’t a pleasant discovery but it had been a realization that helped you play the part you needed to play. It was no worse than keeping a smile on your face while being talked over in a sales meeting.

“You’re quite the saucy little vixen, aren’t you?”

“I’m sorry sir?”

“Don’t play innocent with me, woman,” he said, waving an admonitory finger in your direction, eyes twinkling, “sit down, have a brandy.”

Before you arrived, you’d known little about this period of history, but it hadn’t taken you too long to realize that a sixty-five-year-old knight drinking in his study with his cook was not considered appropriate. These interviews probably aren’t wise but these times with Sir Lewis offer a rare opportunity to be yourself. This, you know, is why he thinks he has a chance of late-night rendezvous in your bedroom but it’s hard to let go of a small source of fun. He’s one of the few people who’s kind to you in this new life and, even more unusually, honest about his intentions.

Now, he wears a silk turban, a nightshirt and pajama pants: in this, like his improvised smoking jacket, he is an early-adopter. In all things, he takes his inspiration from India…or from the strange simulacra of vaguely eastern ideas he’s invented in his imagination. In your time, his cultural appropriation would be enough to get him canceled several times over: in his own time, he’s considered an eccentric sophisticate.

“So,” he says, handing you a glass and raising his to you, “it wasn’t enough for you to bewitch me, you’ve bewitched Sir Reginald Hargreeves too. Isn’t one man enough for you?”

You roll your eyes, letting your guard down,

“My husband is more than enough.”

He harumphs good-naturedly.

“Admirable sentiment, I’m sure. It’s in woman’s nature to be constant and it’s quite to your credit that your feelings are so loyal. But, if your husband lives, (and, for your sake, I hope he does), I can assure you he won’t have such fine feelings. He’ll be taking every opportunity to enter into amorous congress with a game lass. It’s quite normal for a red-blooded fellow. I'm afraid we can’t help ourselves.”

“We’ll agree to disagree there,” you say, swilling the brandy around your glass.

“Hmph. Well, he stumbled upon a gem when he snagged you as his bride. Damn, him. To his good health and safe return.”

He raises his glass in grudging tribute to Five before continuing.

“As I was saying, Sir Reginald has become an unlikely ally to me, even as he tries to court you himself.”

“You’ll need more than Sir Reginald Hargreeves on your side, Lewis. And neither of you will be courting me.”

“That’s the spirit I like,” he rumbled, smiling at your informal use of his Christian name, “but I’ve broken many a wilder mare than you, believe me. But that’s by the by: humor me and take a look at this.”

You’re unsure you believe that he’s broken any ‘wild mares’ in his time, but you take the piece of paper he offers you without comment. He ensures he brushes your hand with his as he transfers it to you.

It was a richly printed invitation inviting him to a party at Reginald Hargreeves' house in only a few days. At the bottom, in a neat, compact hand was clearly a handwritten addition:

Bring that intriguing cook of yours and tell her I'd like to claim her hand in the French waltz.

You look back up at him, a creeping sensation in your stomach. Because you can think of nothing else to say for the moment, you say:

“I don’t know the waltz.”

“I’ll teach you!” he said, clearly overjoyed at the idea of putting his hands on you.

You stare down at the invitation, taking a rather large swallow of brandy in order to give yourself time to think. You knew that trusting Reginald Hargreeves, especially when it came to maintaining timelines, was simply not an option. It was imperative that he learn nothing about who you are and why you’re here. You should refuse, you should stay as far away from him as possible…

But…

If Five’s anywhere in this time, he will sure as hell be paying close attention to anything his father does. Your other efforts have done nothing so far…so why not try a different approach?

“What about Lady Danforth?”

“That’s the best part, my dear. Staying with her niece. She won’t be home until the following afternoon. What Annie doesn’t know won’t hurt her, by God. And to stop tongues a-wagging, I’ll introduce you as my cousin.”

He smiles proudly at his own ingenuity.

“I don’t have anything to wear.”

“Don’t concern yourself, my dear. I know you ladies can be very particular in matters of dress but will you allow me to select something suitable?”

You hesitate slightly. Knowing Sir Lewis, you’ll probably be turning up to this thing in the 19th century equivalent of stockings, suspenders and titty tassels.

“As long as you promise to keep it decent,” you say, warningly.

“Upon my honor,” he said, raising his right palm as if swearing on a bible, “it’s what’s underneath that counts, eh?”

You sigh again and down the rest of your brandy in one: sealing your decision.

“Then sure. I’ll go.”

After a lesson in the French waltz in which you had to readjust Sir Lewis’s hands several times, you make your way stealthily back to the servants’ quarters. As always, he’d signed off your private audience with him with a hearty: ‘May I come to you tonight, my dear?’ which you, as always, denied him. Expecting nothing else, he’d waved you off genially.

As you avoid the creaky floorboards outside Lady Danforth’s sitting room, you wish heartily that you could blink back to your room. Just as you think you’ve gotten away with it, her cold voice issues from within.

“Mrs Hargreeves?”

You wince and turn around, reluctantly entering the sitting room and bobbing a curtsey to the mistress of the household.

“Yes, Lady Danforth?”

You try to look innocent as she surveys you suspiciously from under her frilled cap. She’s a beautiful woman: what people of this time would call ‘handsome’. About fifteen years younger than Sir Lewis and five years older than you. Her long nose and hard expression added to her formidable demeanor. Her hair is an attractive graying blonde and her eyes a shrewd hazel.

“What are you doing in this part of the house?”

“I was summoned to the master’s study,” you say. Then, to try and ingratiate yourself while forming an alibi, “he was requesting some dishes for your absence next week but I suggested to him that they should be subject to your approval, given that you know the household matters best.”

“You presumed to tell Sir Lewis what was and wasn’t his jurisdiction in his own house?”

“No ma��am.” you say, having accidentally dug yourself further into her bad graces. The old-timey language is easy, the body language is easy, but your understanding of this era’s social dynamics is still constantly wavering. It seems like you can barely breathe without mortally offending someone.

“You were rather a long time,” she says, delicately, “for one discussing meals.”

You waver slightly, needing to come up with a convincing lie on the spot,

“Sorry ma’am. Sir Lewis had questions about my time in Bombay.”

She stares at you in silence for a while, sitting perfectly upright on the sofa, hands and feet primly together. You wet your lips briefly. In the last year, you’ve had to lie constantly; the creativity gets easier but holding your nerve never does.

When she speaks again, she moves her hand to stroke a finger gently across the arm of the damask sofa.

“Do you have children, Mrs Hargreeves.”

“Yes Ma’am. One daughter.”

Lady Danforth nodded contemplatively, “I have a daughter too. Married just over a year ago to a Baronet in England.”

You nod, smiling unsurely, “All the servants speak fondly of Miss Catherine.”

“Hm,” she said, tilting her head in order to look down her nose at you, “my daughter had a housekeeper. A widow, Mrs Fredericks. Or not a widow, as it turned out. She was dismissed recently. It was discovered that she was, in fact, still Miss Fredericks, although she had a grown son. Not only this, she had been stealing from her employer.”

“Oh.” you say, dumbly.

“Can you produce a marriage certificate, Mrs Hargreeves?”

Shit.

“No ma’am. My husband had it about him when he went missing.”

“I’m very sorry to hear that, Mrs Hargreeves. How inconvenient for a woman in your position.”

“Yes,” you all but whisper.

“But surely church records are available?”

“Um…no.”

She tilts her head in mock confusion and you gabble out the latest twist in a long and convoluted series of lies.

“The church we were married in burned down. The marriage records were lost with it.”

“Another inconvenience,” she says, raising her eyebrows, enjoying the seconds she leaves you hanging, “very well, you may go.”

You waver for a second, “ma’am?”

“You may go.” she repeats.

It’s almost second nature to curtsey now as you leave the room.

You don’t fall asleep for a long time that night. Your family seems closer than ever tonight, just tantalizingly out of reach. Your complex, intelligent and determined little girl and your Russian nesting-doll of a husband. The adult with a septuagenarian within and, at the deepest level of his precious heart, a scared, neglected little boy.

If The Shoe Fits…Bear It.

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6,

Part 7

TW: Harassment and Sexual Assult

Summary: Prince Vincent Solaire, of Wonder Land, spends a wonderful night with a stranger, but what happens when the shoe left behind fits someone else.

The first signs of morning was made clear by the sunlight peeking through their window. It poked and poked at them until they had no choice. They began to wake up, remembering the crazy dream they had last night. They were chosen by the prince to marry and now… right, it wasn’t a dream.

Stepping of the bed their feet made contact with the cold marble floor. The chill sent up their spine was enough to fully wake them up. Suddenly, there was a knock on their door.

“Come in.” They said and they heard a muffled sound of confirmation through the door.

“Good morning your highness.” The butler, they’ve learned who’s name is Ollie, said as he came through the door.

“Good morning Sir Oliver!” They piped up.

“You can call me Ollie my liege. His highness has requested I give you this to dress in. His highness also wishes that I inform you that breakfast is in fifteen minutes my liege.” Ollie spoke out fast handing them a garment. It was gorgeous, and they couldn’t wait to put it on.

As soon as Ollie left the room they got dressed. It was a black pantsuit with gold decals, a black corset with gold ribbons to tie it. The suit jacket was long and draped across the ground. It came in a low cut across the chest with a pair of black heels. This was nothing that they would be able to afford just a day ago.

They checked their outfit one last time before heading out to the large dining room. There at the table they saw William sitting at the head of the table. To his right was Vincent and every other seat was empty. To his left was Sam, and his partner, they had heard they were from the Lupine kingdom.

As soon as they entered the room Vincent’s gaze locked on them. They felt so exposed under his gaze, like he was analyzing them, feasting on them. His gaze was warm and welcome but all consuming. They offered him a slight smile.

“Good morning Lovely. Please have a seat next to me.” Vincent said walking over to them and linking their arms. He pulled out their chair for them before taking his seat.

The king continued speaking with Sam and his partner, Vincent occasionally jumping in.

“You look absolutely stunning your highness.” Vincent smiled at them and offered them a wink.

“You do as well your highness. And If I may, I’m not yet royalty.” They spoke back.

“But you are. To me you are, and that is also true for Sam and William.” He bumped them with his shoulder and they all began eating.

“Well thank you your highness.” They smiled up at him. His face felt warm, this was new, even that night during the ball he didn’t feel like this. Sure, there was infatuation, but this was different, this was want, need, plain desire.

After breakfast Sams partner walked Lovely to their etiquette class.

“So, you’re the beauty Vincent met at the ball?” They asked, their voice sultry and smooth.

“Well no, actually I am not, his highness picked me by mistake…” they sunk in on themself.

“What? The prince simply stole you?” They said shock encompassed their tone.

“Well he didn’t quite, and his highness did have the sweetest intentions…” they spoke.

“Intentions mean the same as dirt when it affects your life in this way. You are too kind your highness.” They shook their head. “My name is Darling by the way, of the Shaw kingdom.”

“Oh! You highness’s brother is Prince David Shaw, who recently got married right?” They peered up at Darlin.

“Yes, that’s him your highness. But erm, you don’t have to call me your highness. Just call me Darlin. And… I do not wish to push you but… It’s okay to be upset about this. You don’t owe anyone your happiness…”

“Lovely, you can call me lovely.” They smiled over at Darlin. “And Thank you. I appreciate it.”

“Anytime.” They said as they dropped lovely off at their class.

It was long and so, so boring but they did their best to focus. They learned Social Etiquette Skills such as: Eye contact; Greetings; Introducing others; Conversation skills; Positive body language, even what spoon to use.

And that’s how it would be for the rest of the week, boring repetitive days. They missed their friends, their tavern, their old life. However, they knew they couldn’t dwell on that stuff. Their life would never be like that again. They needed to just accept it.

The good thing to come out of the past week was that they had gotten much closer with Vincent. They spoke about many fascinating ideas. Took long walks in the garden and even had afternoon tea at his side. They enjoyed his company and even felt the beginnings of feelings for him bubbling in their stomach. He was so flirty and funny, he was unavoidable.

Later that Monday evening Ollie knocked on their door. He informed them that they had another fitting scheduled in five minutes. They were getting an outfit for the upcoming ball in two weeks. They felt anxiety encompassing them as they followed Ollie to go see Adam for their fitting.

“Hello Gorgeous.” Adam said as they entered the room. “Step right up on the podium.”

“Hello Sir Adam. Where are your assistants sir?” They asked their voice shaky.

“I let them go early. I told them I could handle your highness on my own.” He stepped towards them with an odd off putting smile. They stepped backwards.

“So what do… uhm you have in mind for …” their back hit the wall as he continued to approach them.

“Well right now I have half the mind to see you in nothing.” He put his hand beside their head. “You should run away with me. Vincent is nothing you know. I can treat you better than he can.” Adam grabbed their chin forcing them to face him. They squeaked out and let out a small scream.

“No. Vincent is he’s amazing. I want to be with him.” They yelled out and began crying.

“Then ill have to do more to convince you.” He said as he smashed his mouth on theirs. The kiss was rough and aggressive and unpleasant. It tasted like salt from the tears streaming down their face. He moved to kiss down their jaw, moving down to their neck and they screamed out.

That’s when they heard the sound of someone banging on the door, before it burst open. Standing in the doorway was Vincent. His eyes were dark and he looked confused as he took in the situation. Then his face contorted into a kind of rage they couldn’t ever imagine seeing. He took two long strides forward and ripped Adam away from them.

Adam flew into the wall behind him and Vincent immediately ran over to him and started laying out punch after punch. It was only the arrival of the guards and Ollie that got him to stop. Adam was taken away to the prison and lovely was still pinned against the wall by fear.

Vincent walked over to them, he wanted to cradle them, hug them, comfort them, but he knew that he couldn’t take that from them. He needed to help them regain some security.

“Lovely I- What can I do…” he began to speak but he was cut off by them falling into his arms.

“Stay… please…” they spoke out, they sounded so soft, so weak. He hated it. He would see to it himself that Adam pay for everything he did and more.

That night he walked them to their room but didn’t leave. He stayed by their side and tended to their every need. He was going to be there. He needed to be there for them.

8 Chic Interior Design Ideas for an Elegant Dining Room

The dining room is one of the most important spaces in your home. It’s not only where you gather to enjoy meals but also where you create memories with family and friends. A stylish and elegant dining room can elevate the entire ambiance of your home. Here are 8 chic interior design ideas to help you create a dining room design that exudes elegance and sophistication.

1. Choose a Statement Dining Table

The dining table is the centerpiece of your dining room, so choosing a statement piece is essential. Opt for a table that reflects your style, whether it’s a sleek, modern design or a more traditional, ornate piece. Materials like wood, marble, or glass can add a touch of luxury and sophistication. Pair your table with elegant chairs that complement the design.

For personalized advice on choosing the right dining table, working with the best builders in Bangalore can ensure your dining room layout is both functional and stylish, maximizing your space and enhancing the overall design.

2. Use Elegant Lighting Fixtures

Lighting plays a crucial role in setting the mood in your dining room. A striking chandelier or pendant lights above the dining table can add an element of drama while providing ample illumination. Choose a lighting fixture that aligns with the aesthetic of your dining room design. Crystal chandeliers or sleek metallic pendant lights can add sophistication and elegance to the room.

The best builders in Bangalore can help incorporate lighting fixtures into your dining room design, ensuring both functionality and style are prioritized.

3. Add Bold Accent Walls

An accent wall in your dining room can make a bold statement. Consider painting one wall in a rich, dark color like navy blue, deep green, or charcoal gray. Alternatively, you can use wallpaper with elegant patterns, such as floral, geometric, or metallic designs, to give the room a luxurious feel. An accent wall not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also adds depth and character to the space.

If you’re unsure how to execute this idea, consulting with the best builders in Bangalore can guide you on the best materials and techniques for creating an accent wall that complements your overall dining room design.

4. Incorporate Elegant Textiles

The textiles you choose for your dining room can significantly impact the overall look and feel of the space. Opt for luxurious tablecloths, placemats, and elegant dinnerware that reflect your personal style. Velvet or silk cushions on the dining chairs can add a touch of opulence, while a stylish rug underneath the dining table creates a sense of warmth and coziness.

When designing your dining room design, collaborating with the best builders in Bangalore can ensure the textiles you select are harmonious with the room’s design and enhance its elegance.

5. Focus on Clean, Modern Lines

For a chic and contemporary look, focus on clean, modern lines in your dining room design. Opt for minimalist furniture and sleek, angular shapes that create a sophisticated and uncluttered atmosphere. This style is perfect for those who prefer a more refined and understated dining room, where simplicity and elegance go hand in hand.

For guidance on incorporating modern lines into your dining room design, the best builders in Bangalore can offer expert advice to ensure your space feels both contemporary and welcoming.

6. Incorporate Art and Sculpture

Adding art or sculptures to your dining room can instantly elevate its elegance. A beautiful painting or a stylish sculpture placed in a prominent spot can serve as a conversation starter and enhance the room’s aesthetic. Choose pieces that resonate with your style but also complement the overall color scheme and design of your dining room.

To make sure the art pieces you select are the perfect fit, working with the best builders in Bangalore can help you seamlessly incorporate these items into your dining room design.

7. Use Mirrors to Enhance Space

Mirrors are an excellent way to make your dining room appear larger and more open. They reflect light, which can make the room feel brighter, and they also add a touch of glamour. A large, ornate mirror above the buffet or a set of smaller, strategically placed mirrors can create a sense of depth and sophistication in your dining area.

With the help of the best builders in Bangalore, you can find the ideal spots for mirrors in your dining room design, ensuring they complement the space and create a stunning visual effect.

8. Keep It Simple with Neutral Tones

If you prefer a more serene and timeless look, neutral tones are the way to go. Soft hues like ivory, beige, or taupe can make the room feel sophisticated and calm. Neutral colors also allow you to play with textures and patterns in your furniture and decor, without overwhelming the space. This design works especially well with a minimalist or Scandinavian-inspired dining room.

The best builders in Bangalore can help you incorporate these neutral tones into your dining room design, ensuring the colors enhance the space and create a refined, elegant atmosphere.

Final Thoughts

Creating an elegant dining room design is all about blending style, function, and comfort. By choosing a statement dining table, elegant lighting, bold accent walls, and luxurious textiles, you can transform your dining area into a chic space that your guests will love. Adding art, mirrors, and modern lines further elevates the design, making the room feel both inviting and sophisticated.

Elegant Terrace Designs for Upscale Homes

When it comes to high-end living, luxury is not just confined to the interiors of your home but extends beautifully to your outdoor spaces, especially your terrace. A well-designed terrace can be a lavish sanctuary where comfort, style, and relaxation converge. Whether you envision it as an entertaining space or a peaceful retreat, with the right design elements, your terrace can become an extension of your home's sophistication and lifestyle.

If you’re looking to elevate the ambiance of your terrace, here are some premium design ideas to inspire your next outdoor makeover. At WeDezine Studio, known for the best home interiors in Shivamoga, we specialize in creating luxurious, tailored spaces that resonate with your unique style and needs.

1. Elegant and Functional Furniture

Select furniture that blends elegance with comfort. Invest in premium materials like teak, rattan, or stainless steel paired with plush cushions. Modular seating arrangements are perfect for personalizing the space, while statement pieces such as a refined dining table or chic lounge chairs can become the focal points of your terrace.

2. Dramatic Lighting to Enhance the Mood

Lighting plays a pivotal role in setting a luxurious tone. Choose outdoor lighting fixtures that elevate your space, such as designer chandeliers, pendant lights, and sconces. For a softer, more intimate vibe, integrate dimmable lights, fairy lights, and lanterns. Highlight key features with LED strips along railings or in planters, adding a modern touch to your outdoor haven.

3. Luxurious Flooring Choices

The flooring you choose for your terrace forms the foundation of its elegance. Opt for high-end materials like marble, natural stone, or textured tiles to create a stunning aesthetic. For a more organic feel, wooden decking or bamboo flooring can bring a natural yet sophisticated charm, while ensuring durability and comfort underfoot.

4. Lush Greenery and Landscaping

Integrating plants into your terrace design adds a touch of tranquility and luxury. Tall palms, ferns, flowering vines, and even small trees in decorative planters can create a serene atmosphere. A vertical garden or a sculptural bonsai tree can serve as a striking feature, enhancing the space's beauty and contributing to improved air quality.

5. Outdoor Lounging Areas

Create a luxurious lounging space with cozy seating, throw pillows, and even a fire pit for those cool evenings. Whether hosting guests or relaxing alone, a terrace should offer a refined yet comfortable space. Consider an outdoor sofa set paired with a stylish coffee table, or a chaise lounge to offer a chic and peaceful retreat.

6. Sophisticated Outdoor Kitchen or Bar

For an elevated terrace experience, an outdoor kitchen or bar can make a world of difference. Install a high-end barbecue grill, an outdoor refrigerator, and custom cabinetry to create an ideal setting for entertaining. A designer bar area with bar stools and a cocktail station adds a touch of glamour, perfect for intimate gatherings or lively outdoor parties.

7. Private Spa Retreat

Take your luxury terrace to the next level by integrating a spa element, such as a hot tub, plunge pool, or sauna. Surrounded by greenery and sleek modern furnishings, this space can transform your terrace into a private wellness sanctuary, offering relaxation and opulence in equal measure.

8. Smart Technology Features

Add a high-tech flair to your terrace with smart home integration. Automated lighting, outdoor sound systems, and climate control options bring ease and sophistication to your outdoor living. With a simple voice command, you can adjust the ambiance, making your terrace both convenient and futuristic.

9. Custom Pergolas and Canopies

Install a custom pergola or retractable canopy to offer shade and shelter, enhancing the functionality of your terrace. Choose materials such as wood, aluminum, or glass for a modern touch, and add curtains or drapes to provide privacy and comfort. This allows you to enjoy your terrace in any weather, rain or shine.

10. Luxury Accessories and Accents

To complete your luxury terrace, consider high-end decor pieces such as sculptures, modern vases, stylish rugs, and plush throws.

Decorate Your Home Using Organic Materials With These Ideas

Decorating your home with organic materials brings the essence of nature inside, creating a space that feels fresh, sustainable, and comfortable.

Decorating your home with organic materials is an excellent approach to create a warm and inviting environment while also supporting eco-friendly living. Organic materials provide natural beauty, texture, and a tranquil atmosphere, making any environment more peaceful and restful. From furniture to minor design items, here are some simple ideas for incorporating organic decor into your house.

1. Wooden furnishings and accessories

Wood is one of the most adaptable organic materials for usage in your home. Whether it's a robust wooden dining table or smaller decor items like trays or photo frames, wooden furniture adds warmth and character to any room. To add rustic appeal to your home while also supporting ecological practices, use reclaimed wood. Bamboo, a quickly renewable resource, is another great option for furniture and decorations.

2. Natural fibre rugs

Natural fibre rugs, such as those made of jute, sisal, or wool, are ideal for anchoring your area and adding a warm, organic feel. These materials are long-lasting and environmentally sustainable, and they give your flooring a textured finish. They work nicely in living rooms, bedrooms, and even eating areas.

3. Stone and Clay Decor

Adding stone or clay pieces to your home provides a rough, unpolished look. To impart an earthy vibe, consider using stone vases, clay plants, or even clay lights. These materials bring the outdoors inside, allowing you to stay connected with nature. Terracotta or clay planters are ideal for indoor plants. The natural tones of the clay will complement the flora, resulting in a beautiful appearance. Stone bowls and candle holders also provide a rustic yet elegant touch to any room.

4. Cork: A Functional and Aesthetic Element

Cork is an often-overlooked organic material that is not only ecological, but also functional and fashionable. Cork can be used for a variety of uses, including wall coverings and minor accessories. It has a distinct texture and feels smooth to the touch, making it ideal for flooring and bulletin boards.

5. Linen and cotton fabrics

When selecting materials for your home, think about natural fibres like linen and cotton. They're soft, airy, and timeless. Organic linen curtains, cotton blankets, and cushions offer both comfort and sustainability.

6. Wicker and rattan accents

Wicker and rattan are ideal for creating a tropical or bohemian feel to your decor. These materials, which range from chairs and side tables to baskets and light fixtures, are lightweight but sturdy, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

7. Living Greenery

Indoor plants are an essential component of any organic design. Whether you have a small balcony garden or just a few potted plants inside, greenery adds life to every space. Ferns, snake plants, and pothos not only clean the air but also provide a relaxing atmosphere.

8. Organic Light Fixtures

Choose lighting fixtures created from organic materials like bamboo, wood, or woven fibres. These lights provide a warm, natural glow to any area, enhancing the overall earthy ambiance. Hang pendant lights made of woven bamboo or cane in your dining room. Their soft lighting produces a warm and inviting ambiance, ideal for intimate dinners.

9. Natural Stone Countertops and Surfaces

Natural stones such as granite, marble, and soapstone are not only long-lasting, but also add an organic look to your kitchen or bathroom. These materials come in a wide range of colours and designs, making them ideal for counters or accent walls.

10. Recycled Glass Accessories

Recycled glass design pieces such as vases, jars, and lighting fixtures are not only environmentally responsible, but also visually appealing. They come in a variety of hues and shapes, allowing you to personalise your house while also minimising trash.

How to Choose the Perfect Dining Table for Your Home

The dining table is more than just a place to eat; it’s the heart of family gatherings, social events, and daily conversations. Choosing the perfect dining table for your home involves careful thought, and balancing function with design. Whether you’re looking for a compact piece for a small apartment or a hardwood dining table for a spacious dining room, this guide will help you make the right choice.

Assess Your Dining Room Size and Shape

Before you begin browsing through different styles, the first step in selecting the perfect dining table is understanding the size and shape of your dining space. Measure the room’s dimensions, noting any permanent fixtures such as windows, doors, or other furniture that may influence the table's placement.

Rectangular rooms typically suit rectangular or oval tables, which maximise seating and space.

Square rooms often look more balanced with round or square tables, enhancing symmetry.

Small or narrow spaces may require compact, extendable tables or those with drop leaves that can expand when needed.

A general rule is to allow at least 3 feet of space around the table so that chairs can be pulled out easily, ensuring both comfort and flow within the room.

Determine the Seating Capacity

How many people do you usually host? Dining tables come in various sizes, accommodating different numbers of people. If you often have guests over or have a large family, a larger custom dining tables is necessary. However, for couples or smaller households, a table for four or six may suffice.

Rectangular tables: Seats 4-6 people comfortably with a length of about 5-6 feet, while longer tables can seat up to 10 or more.

Round tables: Can seat 4-6 people comfortably if it's about 48 inches in diameter.

Extendable tables: Offer flexibility, providing extra seating when needed while keeping the space manageable daily.

Think about your lifestyle. If you entertain frequently, consider an extendable table for versatility.

Choose the Right Table Shape

The shape of your dining table can significantly impact how it fits into your space and interacts with your home's overall design. Here’s a breakdown of popular table shapes:

Rectangular: This is the most common dining table shape. It works well in longer rooms and allows for the maximum number of seats.

Square: Square tables are perfect for square rooms, creating a balanced and intimate feel. However, they’re less ideal for larger gatherings.

Round: Round tables encourage conversation as everyone can see each other, and they’re great for small dining spaces. A round pedestal base is especially useful in tight quarters.

Oval: An oval table is a space-saving alternative to rectangular tables, offering the same seating capacity but with a softer edge, which works well in narrower rooms.

Consider the Table Material

The material of your dining table will influence its durability, maintenance needs, and style. Here are some popular options:

Wood: Wood is classic and versatile, with options like oak, walnut, and mahogany adding warmth and natural beauty to your space. Solid wood tables are durable but may need refinishing over time.

Glass: Glass tables are sleek and modern, making a room feel larger and lighter. However, they require frequent cleaning as smudges and fingerprints are more visible.

Marble: Marble is luxurious and timeless, perfect for formal dining rooms. It’s durable but can be porous, so it requires regular maintenance to prevent stains.

Metal: Metal tables are often paired with industrial or contemporary designs. They’re sturdy but can feel cold, so they may not suit every home’s aesthetic.

Laminate: Laminate or veneer tables mimic the look of wood or stone but are more affordable. They’re easy to clean but might not last as long as solid wood or natural stone options.

Evaluate the Base Design

The hardwood dining table base impacts both the look of the table and how many people it can comfortably seat. Different base designs have unique advantages:

Four legs: The most traditional design. However, the placement of the legs can restrict seating arrangements.

Pedestal: A central pedestal provides more legroom and flexibility with seating since there are no corner legs to work around.

Trestle: Common in farmhouse and rustic designs, the trestle base offers stability and can comfortably seat more people.

Consider how the base will affect chair placement and the overall look of the room.

Complement Your Home's Style

Your dining table should reflect your home’s overall design style. A table that complements your interior can elevate the entire space.

Modern homes: Sleek lines, minimalist designs, and materials like glass, metal, or marble.

Traditional homes: Solid custom dining tables with intricate details, perhaps with a rich finish.

Rustic or farmhouse styles: Reclaimed wood tables, trestle bases, or tables with a distressed finish.

Industrial spaces: Metal frames, exposed bolts, and raw wood surfaces.

Match Your Dining Chairs

Once you’ve chosen your table, think about the dining chairs. You can either buy a matching set or mix and match it for a more eclectic look. Ensure that the chairs are the right height for the table — the ideal distance between the seat of the chair and the tabletop is around 10-12 inches.

Consider adding cushions or upholstered chairs for extra comfort, particularly for longer meals or gatherings.

Summing Up

Choosing the perfect dining table for your home is a blend of practicality and aesthetics. By considering the size and shape of your room, the number of people you usually host, your preferred material, and your home’s overall style, you’ll find a table that not only fits your space but enhances it.

A hardwood dining table is more than just a piece of furniture — it’s where memories are made, so take your time to choose one that reflects your lifestyle and taste.
