The Devil's Ledger: 5 Wicked Halloween FinDom Stories of Wealth, Devotion & Damnation | 76-Page Anthology by Ms Smyth { FinDom Story }

About this release

Five wicked tales. Five very unfortunate encounters. One woman who makes the Devil look positively amateur. There are fates considerably worse than losing your fortune, darling. Being forgotten, for instance. Discovering that your wealth cannot buy your importance. Or finding yourself contractually obliged to a woman who has absolutely no intention of letting you believe you matter. Welcome to The Devil's Ledger, a deliciously dark, 76-page Halloween anthology by Ms Smyth of The Smyth Fund, where old money meets ancient evil, powerful men discover the true price of their arrogance, and even Hell finds itself on the wrong side of a financial arrangement. Within these pages, you'll discover five original tales of gothic horror, supernatural financial domination, psychological humiliation and the rather expensive consequences of male vanity. THE WIDOW'S COLLECTION An inherited country estate, a gallery of shrinking portraits and a collection of wealthy gentlemen who have spent generations paying for the privilege of becoming insignificant. One particularly devoted benefactor has been paying for considerably longer than anyone realises. THE DEAD MAN'S STANDING ORDER A mysterious payment of £666.66 arrives every night from an account closed eleven years ago. The account holder should no longer be capable of making payments, yet his devotion continues. Unfortunately, what he's spending isn't money. THE MASQUERADE OF RUINED GENTLEMEN A gathering of extraordinarily wealthy gentlemen attends an exclusive Halloween masquerade where status, dignity and recognition are auctioned to the highest bidder. There is one mask too many. By morning, a guest will discover what it means to possess everything and be noticed by nobody. THE BANK OF LAST REGRETS An ancient financial institution dealing in human regret hires Ms Smyth to investigate its collapsing assets. Unfortunately for the directors, their new consultant discovers something far more valuable than regret — and acquires it for a penny. THE DEVIL WORE MY SIGNATURE A desperate banker arrives with an infernal contract and a soul about to be collected. Ms Smyth offers to negotiate. By midnight, the Devil discovers that eternal damnation is considerably less frightening than a woman who actually reads the small print. Five complete, standalone stories. Five exquisitely cruel endings. Seventy-six pages of aristocratic arrogance, haunted fortunes, infernal incompetence and financial submission, delivered with Ms Smyth's characteristic cold amusement and wicked British humour.
