My heart is so broken for the fl. Theo is so mean to her for no reason. It's not even "cold duke of the north" who does small kind things or has an internal monologue or smth. he can't even have the stereotypical "who made you cry " moment? He just tells her to stay in her room bc she'll look bad & then tells her not to wear her parents heirloom at the event bc it'll cause gossip. Fucking bitch. She's already crying anyway. & you're srsly telling me you couldn't have ANYONE write her a letter back when she was sending you them for MONTHS ☹
Ofc he was abused & manipulated by the grandfather but so was she (and arguably much worse). He can't even show her kindness out of a sense of comradery? Jfc
NOT THE BAIT AND SWITCH had me over here shaking and thinking this was about to become psychological thriller for a couple chapters
ML is 34 years old and spends his days bullying his crush / subordinate for no reason. there's a certain level of asshole you have to be to interrupt every one of her free days / hours on wild errands, embarrass her on live TV and at interviews, never ask her anything abt herself i.e her birthday, etc. And fl taking it for 8 years is crazy!! Pretty privilege is real
If I was her I'd have to air the whole office out like dpmo now!! Why tf does she ALONE have to redo the whole thing with NO specific feedback? OK no one wants to stay late & they're on a time crunch, fine. But in what world does having one person redo a group project seem faster than having everyone do it? And all this is bc she answered the phone and said she had plans. Bitch she could have FRIENDS, FAMILY, A LIFE!!!! And don't get me started on the fact that he lets his subordinates run about bullying people like this is middle school. Jfc. I would have snapped by now.
... now, is "household chores" a good enough reason to leave work.. um NO! Girl we gotta work on your excuses bc this is embarrassing atp but that's neither here nor there! Fuck him!!!
Did this man just say the only reason he didn't rape her is bc she would be scared of him & he would have a harder time having sex with her later?!?! This freak needs to die expeditiously
ok I may be insane but his blushing faces in ch 30 nd 31 would work on me im sorryyy he is deeply troubled and mentally unstable nd if you knocked on his forehead, you'd def hear an echo where his brain should be... but he's cute
I literally feel nauseated by the way the author conveys him.. he's disgusting and so far, irredeemable. She's nothing more than a child with boobs and he's slobbering and so ready to manipulate her until she is outright sobbing (and uses her DEAD SISTER to do it) all because he wants to have sex with someone who doesn't even know what their own genitals are. Wtf .... he needs to die expeditiously
these two talk in circles bc they are never able to properly articulate their emotions and relationships like puh lease stop being so avoidant
I'm sorry but it took her long af to call that woman out. you let her lead you down how many corridors before you called her bluff? Zero survival instincts bffr
Why must she endure abuse from EVERYONE in her life like this is just not fair at all if I were her I would srsly cut my losses and run away TONIGHT!!! while all the knights r recovering and he has a head injury
