***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.
Mirroring the hush of the room around her, Isadora walked softly and cautiously, ensuring that her presence remained unobtrusive.
Her heart almost jumped out of her chest cavity, when she heard another moan and the ruffle of the sheets. Perhaps, the reason for her raised heartbeat was her expectation. She was sneakily expecting to see a similar scent to that night.
Convincing herself that she was only worried for her ladyship's safety, Isadora drew closer. After all, her lady was unhappy when such a thing happened earlier.
What she saw, however, froze her.
Jerrick was sitting by Jessamyn's feet, massaging her legs gently, ensuring that she didn't wake up. She noticed a tray with a simple portion of a meal with many healthy components cooked in the way Jessamyn liked. She didn't think it was the maids' cooking.
Isadora panicked when his eyes met with hers. She thought she was being sneaky, but he knew she was there.
