Eleanor's Victory Volume 2 Chapter 9 - An Insidious Demon

In which a wedding brings Eleanor Vane into a new life beside Gilbert Monckton, set amidst the quiet solemnity of a Bloomsbury church and the broad, somber sands of a Yorkshire seaside honeymoon; yet beneath the surface, a subtle unease and unspoken intentions begin to weave a delicate tension between them. The new bride and her husband, each harbouring secret thoughts and unfulfilled hopes, find the delicate fabric of their union strained by silent doubts and a longing that seems to place an invisible gulf between their hearts.
