***Completed*** Lady Jessamyn brought home a ten-year-old orphan when she was eight. He was handsome ^_~. She provided him with a place to stay and warm meals. As they grew up, she desired to marry him, despite their differing statuses. As war raged, he signed up for the military, promising to ask for her hand when he was worthy. Two years later, he became more than what he promised he would be. He became the Archduke of Ayberia. But he broke her heart by marrying her friend. Years rolled away; life happened. She married a man who loved her and fell madly in love with him. She didn't think of him again. But fate was cruel; she was widowed at the age of twenty-one. She lost everything. Seven years later, she met a mysterious wolf while she was out at work in the Archduke's fief. She had a fall. The next morning, she found herself on the Archduke's bed. Did fate bring them together again? Or something nefarious is at play? Is this a chance for a second love? Will she find out why he abandoned her in the past? Is it possible to rekindle their old love, or is it too late? ----- Join me in this journey. Your comments and votes are appreciated. Gift me to motivate me. Updates will be daily.
Jessamyn opened the door as slowly as she could to hear what he was going to say. She never thought that love was a possibility after he cruelly rejected her but his recent behavior did cause speculations in her heart.
"You can't deny it, can you? First love…" the duke let out a short chuckle. "First love that began with the whispers of the heart, like the dawn of a new day…the love that gets etched in depths of the soul, a timeless reminder of innocence and purity. Not everyone gets the chance to~"
"You are trying to appraise my emotions with your limited understanding. How clever of you! You truly live up to your standard of a jeweler, Duke," Jerrick said sardonically while clapping.
"Am I wrong?" Duke Lagergren asked.
Jessamyn's smirked as she opened the door. The utter disbelief in his tone with someone's suggestion that she was his first love gave her a clear answer. Of course, I was not his first love or any love!
