Cold and Ash

It's the late victorian era and workers are protesting for their rights. Ash or more commonly known as Miss Simpson- has to look after her family in dire times and that requires working for the enemy in order to make ends meet.

Mr. Arthur is a businessman and work is all that matters to him. He doesn't have time for protestors. He has a reputation of being cold, and anyone that crosses him faces the consequences. When Ashley's (Miss Simpson) brother tries to stand up to him, Mr. Arthur makes sure he pays dearly for it.

Now he is faced with a woman that will threaten to challenge all of his principals. Mr Arthur and Ash have been connected through one ugly night and no matter what, they cannot put it behind them.


SNIPPET:

"Don't think that you landed a good job, I will make your life miserable." said Mr. Arthur.

Glaring at him, I hissed. "I hadn't thought that I had and don't worry, I will never work for a man like you!"

I tried to move away but he placed his arm on the wall next to me, effectively trapping me.

"What?" I snapped.

"A man like me?" he chuckled. "I would never want the girls to be exposed to a dishonest woman like you!"
