The Archduke's Songbird

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.

Who She Is

"Scandalous?" Jerrick's lips curved to a lopsided smile.

Jessamyn turned her face.

"Why are you getting defensive?" he asked, scooting closer to her.

"I dare not," Jessamyn muttered, loud enough for him to hear.

"Jessamyn…"

"Jessamyn…"

"Jess~"

"Stop the carriage!" Jessamyn shouted and stood up.

"Sit. I won't talk to you," Jerrick said thinking she wanted to get down because she didn't want to engage in a conversation with him.

"The fruit shop… I saw mangoes… Stop!" Jessamyn explained.

The carriage came to a halt, and Jessamyn stepped out, a skip in her step. She had promised the annoying bird some mangoes but had yet to fulfill it, and the lie had been weighing on her. Now she could finally free herself from the guilt.
