It has such a positive begining but fast forward to present there's angst to begin with! Though i hate the idea of Lizzy married to Wickham, it'll be interesting to find out what exactly happened and how Darcy and Lizzy will cross all barriers to be together . Great stuff Sophie!
The new chapter is very intense and did leave me heartbroken. I thought you did a wonderful job capturing the emotions and turmoil of each of the characters and I can't wait to read more. Please post again soon.
Okay Sophie, you still have my attention, but my heart is breaking. I hope all will be right in the end, but everyone is so sad, except Wickham, of course. thanks for writing and not wanting a gap in your posting of the story. Good luck with the story! Cindy
"he had broken her spirit"
What, what has Wickham done that he broke Lizzy's spirit? Why must she married him? Was is a blackmail? Was it something about Lidia or perhaps about Darcy?
First chapter was so sad. I hope it can only be better.
Darcy having Lizzy after Wickham?
Interesting, even if kind of scary beginning.
OK Sophie what is up that? Wickham with Lizzy???? Poor Darcy His heart is broken and I am guessing so is Lizzies. That can only mean that Darcy is going to be kicking butt. Can't wait to see what happens next. Thanks
This wickham is truly evil! My heart goes out to Lizzy, suffered under his wrath. So what will Dary do during this 7 days? And i hope we'll be enlighten with the "deal" betw Lizzy and Wickham 6 mths ago soon!
Terribly sad chapter – to see beaten Elizabeth, to see wounded Darcy. But it was so good that Lizzy managed to come to him – their moment together was incredibly tender and sweet. Despite all the pain, there is something engaging in Darcy as a rescuer.
But what is Wickham up to? What is the meaning of these 7 days?
With 5 more chapters to go, I guess we still have some angst and obstacles to endure, right?
Well at least somebody knows what to do because it sure as hell seems hopeless!! The only thing I can think of is having Wick murdered, and I kinda like that! We still don't know why Wickhead did it, except to get back at DArcy. But why wait 6 months before rubbing it in his face?
What an intriguing web you've spun Sophie....please give us some hope for a happily ever after!
Okay it's been way past 7 days since last post. Should we begin to worry that "it's all over before it's really even begun?" Ha! (Okay, something tells me that's going to be an on-going theme, given the title of the story... it's just too tempting. Sorry.) But seriously, looking forward to next post. Amy Z
Lack of Seven Days due to my beta reader being swamped with work. She has the last half of the story unfortunately. I shall have to pester her some more.
It shall be here soon though, hopefully. I'm also away the fortnight you are Renée so I was hoping to have it done by then. We shall have to see what happens.
Oh Sophie,
A great chapter, but it's killing me. What to do about Wickham. I know what to do with Wickham. I just hope Darcy gets the opportunity. PLEASE post soon! Cindy
Can't Darcy see that Wickham wants him DEAD!! It won't be a fair fight, Wickham will cheat and Darcy will die and Lizzy will live in misery and that despicable b*****d will have won his revenge!! And what does he mean that Darcy will have half an hour to kill him....what kind of weapons will they use, swords?
Where's the Colonel?? Where's Bingley or Darcy's loyal supporters...he needs help he can't do this alone!!!
Lizzy will probably go back to Wickham willingly rather than have Darcy hurt...**** will the angst never end???
Okay...but aside from all that, I'm loving your story!
This is gripping man! How could you leave us there Sophie!! Darcy's going to survive right? Who are those men that arrived on the scene? Will Lizzy truly be free after all these? When can we get the next chapter??
Thank goodness for the final part statement. I think I would die if I had to wait until Renee's holiday was over. I, too, am in denial. Darcy can't die. I'm curious too about the men. Why didn't Darcy rely on the Colonel for help? He knew Wickham wouldn't play fair. Can't wait until Friday. I'm wishing my life away. Cindy
NOOOOOOO!!! Battered and bruised, okay I can handle it, but DEAD?? Please say it isn't so...why didn't he ask for help? And who shot him in the back? Was it Wicknuts? Please, Please I promise I'll exercise and watch my diet and be kind to small furry animals but please don't let DAracy be dead!!
NOOOOOOOO! Sophie, please don't say that he's dying. Darcy dead is one of the worst things that can happen. Please say that he's only unconscious, a doctor can tend to him, and eventually he'll wake up. I eagerly await Friday!
Did he die? He didn't die, did he? Wickham didn't really kill him, did he? I know Wickham is deadm but not Darcy? I am in big denial, here... He must be just unconscious!!!! Not dead, right?
I am in denial, too...Darcy is just napping, right? He's not ready for the big dirt nap yet! I am just going to hold my breath until everything is all better. Well, I am tickled pink that Wickham is dead. Exciting chapter!
Now that is what I call a happy ending! I knew you couldn't possibly kill him. But I do so love it when FF authors kill Wickham! Many thanks for all of it!
I could barely breathe when I first started reading. I was so afraid that Darcy had died but that maybe Elizabeth had become pregnant during their short time together. I'm so glad for this happy ending. I'm serious, my heart was racing! Thanks for the wonderful story and posting the end before Renee goes away. Cindy
