***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.
Isadora glared at Bernard as he maneuvered the rook into just the right position, delivering a check to her King. That was the fifth time he was winning.
"Is this really the first time you are playing this game, Bernard?" she asked, skeptically.
She explained the rules to him, and he had a few questions to ask, but she didn't think he would get that proficient that soon. He had some doubts in the first game, but he caught up quickly and beat her in every game.
"Yes, it is!" Bernard rubbed his hands together with a bright smile. He was too excited because he was winning. "But it is easy."
"Easy?" Isadora raised her brows. It took her a long time to learn this game and even after learning it for years, she found it hard at times. How could he find it easy?
"Fine, one more game," Isadora said hoping to utilize every move she had learned to beat Bernard.
