Even from the first night

Summary:

She is aristocracy, education, and tradition.
He is industry, new money and machinery, and to her he is nothing but coal.
But perhaps she is only trying to convince herself that she does not love him.
(Because it seems she does.)

A 1900s arranged-marriage romance AU.

Notes:

Yes, me again ... I'm improving my English, be kind ... besides, historical romances are my downfall and I'm collecting inspiration to resume my precious "Dear-Not-Real, Captain Fitz" project (it's abandoned but hey , I have 3 weeks off, I may finish it! yay!)
Omit my faults I had never written about 1900 before but it felt like a good period to me...
Enjoy.

Chapter 1

Notes:

Don’t read this chapter.
It’s old.
Skip to the second one for better grammar… and if you read it in translation, trust me, skip to the second chapter—it’s translated better.

It's so embarrassing that I even deleted it. Read the second one.

Please.
