***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.

Fractured Family

 

 

Isadora observed the woman closely, noting the familiar features that tugged at the edges of her memory. The woman's hesitation and downcast eyes only added to the enigma. As she glanced around and assured herself that there weren't many people around, the woman approached Isadora with a guarded demeanor. Out of respect, Isadora stood up.

"What are you doing here?" the woman asked, her tone tinged with hostility. "Are you with him? Did he bring you here?"

"Are you asking about Bernard?" Isadora replied. She had noticed during her previous outings with Bernard that many of the stall owners knew him, so she assumed the woman was referring to him.

At the mention of Bernard's name, the woman's face stiffened, and the hunch on her shoulders became more pronounced. She looked at Isadora with a mixture of concern and resignation.
