The Forbidden Fruit
Forbidden
Someone of his social standing is not allowed to be seen with a servant girl.
Prohibited
Society views a romantic relationship between a servant and her master as taboo. They can only be mistresses and nothing more.
Disapproved
She can never be his one and only, no matter how much she wishes for it.
.......but love knows no boundaries
Rewrite of my old story "The Forbidden Fruit". Completely different, but same storyline, in a way.
Winchester, London, late 19th century
Due to the TB outbreak, Elise and her two siblings were left orphaned. Without anyone to help them, they fend for themselves. Unfortunately, Elise loses her job and tenaciously searches for another, without any luck.
When all hope is almost lost, she is invited to the Rutherford Manor by the tall, dark and dangerous Darius Rutherford. She soon learns of the debt her parents owed him. Without any means of paying him back, Mr. Rutherford makes a proposition rather sensible, but it goes against everything Elise stands for...
WARNING: Read at your own risk. You've been warned.
I never forget to do this, but for some odd reason I forgot to do so...silly me: layout by BlackxMetalxAngel (sorry I forgot). Her stories are.....lost for words. They're just beautiful. I personally recommend He Howls At The Moon. Thank me later ;)
