I JUST COULDN'T STAND THE ENDING.
A FANTASY NOVEL SET IN 19TH CENTURY ENGLAND.
"THE QUEEN'S PARAMOUR"
THE MALE LEAD WHO I HAD LOVED SO MUCH...
...DIED IN A TRAGIC ENDING.
HE HAD SACRIFICED EVERYTHING TO HELP FULFILL...
THE MAIN CHARACTER, OR QUEEN ELIZE'S AMBITIONS.
BUT THE ONLY THING HE GOT IN RETURN IN THE END WAS A POISONED CHALICE...
And so, Edwin drew his last breath before letting himself be carried away by the everlasting darkness, where his soul finally found peace. ~FIN~
FINALLY FOUND PEACE, MY A**!
HE'S ALREADY DEAD, SO WHAT'S THE POINT?!
HE DIDN'T EVEN GET ANY GOOD LOVE SCENES!
AND THAT'S HOW...
...I BECAME DETERMINED TO WRITE MY OWN STORIES.
I STARTED WRITING ADULT FANFICS BASED ON "THE QUEEN'S PARAMOUR"!!
I JUST FELT SO BAD FOR THE MALE LEAD!
I'M USE MY IMAGINATION TO FILL OUT THE HOLES IN HIS STORY.
THIS STORY'S WAY TOO TRAGIC TO BE APPROPRIATE FOR ALL AGES.

I LOST CONSCIOUSNESS AS SOON AS I READ HER MESSAGE...
Hello, Madam Edwin. This is the author of "The Queen"s Paramaour." I'm writing in regard to the fanfic your published on Vattpad. Maybe I wouldn't feel so strongly about this if you had asked for my permission first but I feel I must put my foot down.
...AND CAME TO REALIZE THAT...
...THE AUTHOR...
...HAD ALREADY GOTTEN HER REVENGE.
THE MATTER BETWEEN THE MARE AND THE STALLION
WHAT A PIECE OF JUNK!
IT'S AN OLD, USLESS PIECE OF JUNK...
JUST LIKE YOUR FATHER!
UGH! I'M SICK AND TIRED OF THIS OLD CARRIAGE!
WHY AM I CONVINCED THAT THIS IS AN ACT OF REVENGE?
WELL, JUST TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT I'VE BEEN STUCK WITH...
WHY ARE YOU STARING AT ME?
HOW RUDE.
VISCOUNTESS CATHERINE WENTWORTH
I'M THE POOR STEPDAUGHTER...
WHAT, DOES IT OFFEND YOU WHEN I COMPLAIN ABOUT YOUR FATHER?
...THAT THIS STEREOTYPICAL STEPMOTHER LOVES TO BULLY.
YOU SHOULD BE MORE CLEVER WITH YOUR MONEY...
IF YOU'RE TIRED OF RIDING AROUND IN AN OLD CARRIAGE LIKE THIS.
...ANRIETTE WENTWORTH, THE WENTWORTH'S YOUNGEST CHILD.
WE ALREADY HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH DRESSES...
SO WHY ARE WE GOING SHOPPING?
WHAT?!
I ALREADY TOLD YOU WHY WE ABSOLUTELY MUST GET NEW DRESSES!
OUR HOUSE IS SO POOR THAT...
WE CAN'T EVEN AFFORT TO REPLACE OUR OLD CARRIAGE...
THERE'S NO POINT TRYING TO GET THROUGH TO HER, MOTHER.
CANDICE WENTWORTH THE ELDEST
I-I DON'T REALLY NEED A NEW DRESS EITHER...
EUNICE WENTWORTH THE MIDDLE CHILD
BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT...
A BALL HOSTED BY THE "DUKE OF BRISTON"!
THE MOST ELIGIBLE BACHELOR IN THE ENTIRE KINGDOM WILL BE LOOKING FOR HIS BRIDE...
SO OF COURSE I NEED TO MAKE SURE MY GIRLS LOOK THEIR BEST!
AND I EVEN HAVE STEPSISTERS WHO ARE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR A HUSBAND.
DOESN'T THIS ALL SOUND VERY FAMILIAR?
WELL, THIS ISN'T JUST ANY FAMILIAR STORY.
THIS IS THE WORLD OF MY FAVORITE NOVEL, "THE QUEEN'S PARAMOUR."
THOSE ARE SOME BIG DREAMS.
TOO BAD THAT THE MOST ELIGIBLE BACHELOR NEVER GETS MARRIED.
DUKE BRISTON, OR RATHER...
...EDWIN ASCAR.
THIS IS THE MAN WHO...
...WAS BORN TO ONE OF THE GREATEST HOUSES IN THE ENTIRE KINGDOM.
HOWEVER, DESPITE HIS LOYALTY AND DEVOTION TO QUEEN ELIZE...
HE DIED A TRAGIC DEATH AFTER BEING BETRAYED.
THE TROPE OF THE ILL-FATED MALE LEAD.
THAT'S RIGHT!!
I LOVED THIS CHARACTER SO MUCH THAT I EVEN WROTE FANFICS ABOUT HIM!!
SO, WHY AM I DEPRESSED, YOU ASK?
WELL, IT'S BECAUSE I'M DESTINED TO...
DIE AT THE HANDS OF THAT VERY SEXY MAN!!
AUTHOR
MY FAMILY, THE HOUSE OF WENTWORTH, BARELY GETS A PARAGRAPH IN THE ORIGINAL STORY.
...SPOKE OUT AGAINST QUEEN ELIZE...
...ONLY TO HAVE HIS ENTIRE HOUSE ERADICATED BY EDWIN, WHO TOOK REVENGE IN HER STEAD.
AND THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE WHERE I WAS AT FIRST.
IT'S BRIEFLY MENTIONED THAT MY FATHER, VISCOUNT WENTWORTH
OH MY, ARE WE ALREADY HERE?
OR EVEN WHO I WAS...
HUH? WE'RE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WOODS.
WE HAVE SO MANY SHOPS TO VISIT TODAY! WHAT IS OUR COACH EVEN DOING?
HURRY UP AND GO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON.
LET'S NOT GET ANGRY...
THIS IS ACTUALLY NICE. I WAS GETTING TIRED OF BEING TRAPPED IN THE SAME SPACE WITH THEM.
HENDEL!
WHAT'S GOING ON?
WHY'D YOU STOP ALL OF A SUDDEN...?
OH, LADY ANRIETTE!
WELL, YOU SEE, MARILYN GOT SPOOKED...
HMM...?
WHAT'S SUCH A FANCY CARRIAGE DOING HERE?
WOULD YOU...
...HAPPEN TO BE THE OWNER OF THAT MARE?
JUDGING BY HOW WELL-DRESSED AND PROPER HE IS, HE MOST CERTAINLY BELONGS TO A VERY HIGH HOUSE.
YES, I AM.
ANRI WENTWORTH, AT YOUR SERVICE, MY LORD.
WHAT'S WRONG?
WHY'S HE STARTING AT ME LIKE THAT?
ISN'T IT HIS TURN TO INTRODUCE HIMSELF?
UH, AND YOUR NAME MIGHT BE...?
SHE'S IN HEAT.
YOUR MARE, I MEAN.
SHE'S TRYING TO COURT MY STALLION.
COULD YOU CLEAR HER OUT OF OUR WAY, PLEASE?
MY STALLION HAPPENS TO BE A THOROUGHBRED OF GOOD STOCK...
I CAN'T STAND BACK AND ALLOW "ANY OLD HORSE" TO COURT HIM.
HEH... WHAT?
WHAT THE HELL IS HE GOING ON ABOUT?
IS HE LOOKING TO PICK A FIGHT?
HENDEL, IS THIS MAN TELLING THE TRUTH?
YES. TO BE HONEST...
...WE TRIED TO BREED MARILYN NOT TOO LONG AGO, BUT...
...SHE REJECTED ALL THE STALLIONS WE MATCHED HER UP WITH.
SHE'S VERY STUBBORN, EVEN WHEN SHE'S IN HEAT.
AND BECAUSE SHE'S BEEN LEFT ON HER OWN EVER SINCE THEN...
I THINK SHE'S EVEN MORE AGITATED THAN SHE USUALLY IS, MY LADY.
EVEN IF IT'S TRUE...
HOW DARE THIS MAN SPEAK ABOUT OUR HORSE LIKE THAT?
MY APOLOGIES, MY LADY...
NO, IT'S ALRIGHT. IT CAN'T BE HELPED THAT MARILYN DIDN'T WANT ANY OF THE STALLIONS.
YOU MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE.
BUT MARILYN...
IT'S NO GOOD TO CHOOSE A MAN BASED PURELY ON HIS LOOKS.
EVEN IF HE'S HANDSOME, THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE HE'S GOT NOTHING ELSE GOING FOR HIM.
THERE ARE SO MANY MEN IN THE WORLD LIKE THAT!
PRETTY BOYS WHO LIE AND CHEAT...
AND YOU NEVER KNOW, HE MIGHT BE A HUUUGE JERK!
BUT I'M HAPPY TO SEE HOW BOLD AND HONEST YOU ARE!
IT SEEMS OUR MARILYN HAS CAUSED YOU SOME TROUBLE. WE'LL GET OUT OF YOUR WAY NOW.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU MIGHT NEED?
NO, NOTHING. HOWEVER...
I FEEL THAT I MUST CLEAR UP THIS MISUNDERSTANDING.
OUR KIRISTAN IS A SOPHISTICATED STALLION FROM THE PALACE OF IMPECCABLE BREEDING.
STABLES FROM ACROSS THE LAND ARE LINED UP TO SEND THEIR MARE TO HIM.
HE HAS HIS PERSONAL ATTENDANT, AND RECEIVES THE BEST FOOD AND CARE.
SO HE'S CLEARLY A CLASS ABOVE HORSES THAT MATE WITH ANY STALLION THEY SEE OFF THE STREET.
I'M SORRY TO SAY THAT MARILYN WILL NEVER HAVE A CHANCE WITH HIM.
OH MY.
I WOULDN'T HAVE THOUGHT THAT A BUSY GENTLEMAN SUCH AS YOURSELF WOULD TAKE SO MUCH INTEREST IN YOUR ANIMALS.
HOW THORUGH AND ATTENTIVE YOU MUST BE!
NOT AT ALL. ANY DECENT HORSE OWNER WOULD DO THE SAME.
PERHAPS YOU SHOULD BE MORE ATTENTIVE TO YOUR OWN HORSES.
SOMEONE...
SOMEONE PLEASE STOP THESE TWO...!!
The Duke's Obsession With His Wife Chapter 1 follows the fanfic writer turned Anriette Wentworth as she wakes in her hated novel world and clashes with an arrogant lord in the forest. After raging at Edwin Ascar's tragic death in "The Queen's Paramour" and writing adult fanfics, she faints reading the author's message and awakens as the poor Viscount Wentworth's youngest daughter. Shopping for the Duke of Briston's ball with stepmother Catherine and stepsisters Candice and Eunice, their carriage stops when mare Marilyn in heat courts a lord's thoroughbred stallion, sparking a sharp war of words.
