Synopsis
You're trying not to tell him you love him, and you're trying to choke down the feeling, and you're trembling, but he reaches over and he touches you, like a prayer for which no words exist, and you feel your heart taking root in your body, like you've discovered something you don't even have a name for.
The daughter of a man who mistook ownership for love and a woman who didn't quite know how to let go, Isabelle Rochefort is a tragedy in the making.
To her, marriage is a scam. Love? A mere illusion. After all, to the members of the Ton, there was no better love match than that of her parents, but few knew the truth about the late duke's treatment of his wife behind closed doors. Raised by her older brother after the tragic demise of their parents, Isabelle has meticulously crafted her apathetic facade over the years, warding off potential suitors and friends alike. Yet, much to her chagrin, a certain Bridgerton boy refuses to relent until he has unearthed what he believes to be her truest self, a version of her she isn't quite sure she recognizes anymore.
Wasn't it easier, after all, to abandon everything, so that one is not abandoned?

A/N: lol getting on the Bridgerton hype before season 3 airs and Benedict is the only brother I actually like so here we are. This is season 2 onwards btw, cuz season 1 was lowkey bland lol As usual, don't be a ghost reader. I live for yalls comments/questions/predictions/reactions, even a keyboard smash is highly appreciated and encouraged!
