I genuinely love this story, and although I intently read the previous chapters and was waiting on baited breath for the next installement I was slightly aphrehensive of the direction it was going in. However, this chapter completely restored the notion to trust the author and their intended direction for their story, back into my mind. Although there is the obvious tragedy of Daphne's death, coupled with the basic rape of Hermione, I think this brought a sense of humanity to Theo's character. Which allowed Hermione to express her true feelings about the blackmail to him, hopefully without retribution. The end notion is so true, and I hope this really makes him reconsider, because in the end, she will never forgive the fact that instead of just trying to get her back or accepting his responisibilty in the demise of their marriage, he's blackmailing her to stay. There is no foundation left in their marriage, and that would be heartbreaking.
I am very much looking forward to what is coming next!
nice talk and resolution for Theomione but I would love some more Dramione alone time ;)
thanks for the update
awesome update. more soon please
This chapter made me so sad but also made me very wanting for questions because I do need Hermione and Theo to have a sit down face to face conversation. I also doubt Daphne is happy with Theo leaving her and will not go down without a fight. She still needs to be introduced to this story. I also need Hermione to get some back bone again, I feel like you have subtlety pointed out that Theo has taken that away from her, not just with the affair but over the years and I need it to grow back and to be honest without Draco. She needs to figure that out herself.
Yay! Drake came to his senses. Now I hope Hermione does too. Obviously Theo can't be trusted at all. I'm a little apprehensive about that letter. Send it now! Don't leave it in your bag to be discovered girl.
super awesome update. Draco is redeemed. thank you!!
Ooh I love it! So excited for the next chapter.
awesome update. more soon please.
although Hermione should kind of dump them both and take care of herself if Draco is going to be like that about the photos getting out
I really like where this is going! One sided Theomine or coercion Theomine isn't my favorite, but I will take it over NO Theomione! Glad Theo is back in the picture.
Not liking this version of Draco at all. He's really not coming off much better than Theo, honestly. I was particularly annoyed by his comment that if the pictures get out, he can't marry her. Yes Draco- *that's* why this has to be a secret. Not Hermione's career, not her reputation or privacy- it's all about Draco not being able to claim his prize. Also annoyed by his demand that hermione not let theo touch her- again, she already doesn't WANT Theo to touch her. Because, you know, she'd feel violated. Not because she's now too impure for holy Draco. Really, Hermione should tell them both to go pound sand.
I think this version of Draco is still in character for what we know (selfish, obsessed with what people think) but he is not coming off as really deserving Hermione.
I really love this story! You have captured bdsm so well. It's amazing. I stayed up until after 4 a.m. reading all 21 chapters. I am hooked can't wait for an update.
