Yikes. That said, this story would make a great gothic horror novel, from her POV.

I know this story quite well, but I love how you "breathed new life" into it with the unique approach. Bravo!

Ah, another classic love story! It can be slotted alongside Romeo and Juliet, Gone with the Wind, and Pride and Prejudice.
