Darla
Darla was ethereally beautiful, standing rather tall for her age of seventeen, and with the figure of a younger, and more beautiful Venus. Darla had been drawing the attention of many a suitor since she was a girl of thirteen, having always looked older than she was with her ample bust and her slight waist. She possessed the complexion of the night sky, and her hair was so dark it appeared to be that of a raven’s wing. These were the features that held her far above the attractions of the other girls her age in the eyes of London's men; bachelors, or otherwise. Darla possessed the perfectly balanced blend of their mother and father, with their father's primary coloring, and their mother's perfectly balanced features, and striking dark brown eyes. Darla fighting for her sister's right to wear a dress that was more flattering to her appearance was useless when she stood next to her in comparison, and everyone knew it.
"She just turned seventeen this month, Your Grace." Abigail offered, not allowing her daughter to reply.
"I shall take my leave, then." He said simply, with a nod, his bones screeching in protest as he lifted himself up and out of the chair. Tipping his tall hat at the girls and bidding Abigail and Nathaniel a pleasant day, the duke took his leave.
"He wasn't here but ten minutes." Darla noted, turning to the ticking clock on the mantel.
"Thank the lord." Jane grumbled beneath her breath.
"He was quite taken with you." Nathaniel commented, fastening his gaze on his youngest daughter intently.
"Every man in London will be quite taken with Darla this season."
And that was only the beginning.
This book is not an HEA and some users may find the content somewhat disturbing. I have added a TW in the description. It is Macabre and does not focus on historical slave aspects as I believe black women should not have to be traumatized by the history of slavery over and over again. This story is purely fictional, and I am quite proud of it as it focuses on elements of abusive relationships, addiction, and overcoming that in order to grow, something I have very personal experience in. Enjoy
