Can’t wait for the next chapter. If it highlights the end to Mary’s intolerable marriage to the upstart.

Oh hi I'm just over here dying for more nbd!

Love it! I hope Matthew and Mary finally get together. I wonder what will happen to the baby and with the divorce?

That was so good. Can't wait for more !

Mary just woke up and wanted to go? They barely talked about future and being together, I hope they can see each other soon! Ah, she never told him about Pamuk! I guess there the opportunity didn't arise in this scenario.

Wow, Jesus, Henry is a violent bully! It was worse that I could have ever imagined! For a moment, I was afraid he was going to take his rage with Mary, it was lucky he simply fell asleep.

Sir Richard has a better story than he could have ever imagined! I hope it works!

i never thought i'd be so happy for sir richard! this was a fabulous plot! and i'm so glad mary got to be happy with matthew for a little bit at least!

This twist was great! I hope things get better because of this (although I expect a slight turn for the worst first). Great chapter!

The power of the press! You have come up with a very sophisticated way of bringing Henry down, great writing. The violence was needed to show Henry's nature I think, and what happens when he is no longer in control. I wonder what that means for Mary though. If he is losing control over how the rest of the world views him, will he take it out on her and start to beat her? Very addictive story!

Ahhhhhhhhh! Amazing!

Awesome! Super chapter! Thank you.

Omg that was so good! Can't wait to see what happens when sir Richard publishes and hopefully Mary can get a divorce from that awful Henry. Look forward to seeing more soon :)

Reunion, yeay!

It's understandable that Matthew is confused that Mary is at his door not properly dressed! I found very accurate that they are awkward about being face to face after all this time and that it's difficult to say the things they want, once they started, all came pouring in. Matthew has lots of guilt about Lavinia deserving better, but I think she partially accepted it, she could have broken up the engagement but she decided to keep their silent ugly truth in their marriage, it wasn't his lie only.

I find it hard to understand why Mary accepted Henry, he was a douche and liar from the beginning! I understand that she wanted attention and made a mistake, what a terrible one! Poor mary, her sudden crush burnt into ashes!

Wow! Mary is so determined and was the one with the idea of sleeping together! She doesn't even care about baby! They were ridiculous adorable and awkward, talking about how to do it and taking their time, it's really like their first time! Maybe they aren't thinking about adultery right now but I liked that Matthew asked God's forgiveness.

Does she really has to come back? What are they going to do? Will this ruin Sybil's plan? I don't want her to return to Henry!

I'm so glad you are writing, I was busy and couldn't read/review but I'm still reading!

I loved that Sybil simply pushed the secretary to enter to Sir Richard's office. Just when Sir Richard is doing well, an unwelcome a glimpse of past! I liked that Sybil corrected him with "Mrs. Branson, not Lady Sybil" Obviously, there has to be tea!

I'm not sure if asking directly that she needed his help was a good call, he is a negotiator and she showed all her cards. Even if it was interesting that he didn't publish because he was ashamed of his threaths. I think it's in-character and honest that he was used to getting what he wanted but that wasn't good for courtships. I liked that he actually asked her how far is she willing to go because creating a scandal is easier than researching one. I wonder if he's telling all the truth, I'm suspicious that he doesn't want money and only to make amends, although it was interesting that his idea of love seemed to be very similar to Henry's. I am not entirely convinced he is trustworthy but I'll give him benefit of doubt for now.

Is Mary miscarring? Jesus, the thing about the womb expanding is real? Lol, I liked that the maid told Henry that the room shouldn't be too crowded and Henry actually looked around to determined there WAS enough space.

Poor Mary, I'm glad the pain stop and that the event help her realise she wanted to live

OMG, she stopped at Matthew's door!

P.S. Take care! Best wishes! :)

yay! matthew and mary are together! well sort of. but still! mary desperately needed this hope that she could have a happy life!

** fans ones self ** that chapter was amazing! I don't want Mary to leave Matthews house. I hope they can be together with no Henry for Mary soon. Can wait for more! x
