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?

Jerrick's Visit

 

Holding the glass tighter in her hand, Jessamyn leaned forward, waiting for Jerrick to add something to that. She was expecting him to say that he was pulling her leg.

But Jerrick said nothing of that sort. He stared at her, waiting for her to say something.

"You're not jesting?" She raised her brows.

"Nope…" he shook his head. "Bernard is 23."

"There's no way…" Jessamyn shook her head in disbelief. "You are saying that Bernard is younger than you…"

Jerrick nodded.

"…and younger than me…?"

Jerrick kept on nodding.

"Isadora is 21!" Jessamyn was still in disbelief. "He's only a couple of years older than Isadora?"

"Yes."

Jessamyn didn't want to question Jerrick anymore. She didn't think he was lying anymore. Why would he lie about Bernard's age? She still couldn't shake off her disbelief.
