***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's eyes brightened as he was listening to her. She ignored the rising pain in her chest. Her thoughts were simple. "You would want a son, for sure. A fruitless woman like me can give you nothing you deserve…" She gritted her teeth as his hold on her arms tightened.
"Fruitless woman? Kindly elaborate on that…" Jerrick's sharp eyes landed on her.
Jessamyn clutched her chest in pain. But it looked like he wouldn't let her go unless she explained. "I~" she let out a sharp exhale as his eyebrows twitched. "I was married for three years and couldn't provide my husband with an heir. You shouldn't marry me when you have a lot of healthy young women…"
