***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.
"Now I know why Wulfhart took Filbert and not me!" Bernard exclaimed, holding Isadora's waist with a bright smile.
"Why?" His smile was contagious, and Isadora couldn't help but smile along with him.
"He left me so I can be with you. He knows only I can protect you well," Bernard said confidently.
"Or he might want to have Lady Jessamyn for himself," Isadora replied skeptically. She didn't think Wulfhart would care that much about her.
"He didn't have to leave you with me for that," Bernard countered.
Isadora shrugged. It did make sense. Wulfhart could have sent her with the Grand Duke or anyone else. He left her with Bernard.
"See, I told you," Bernard said, holding her cheeks and squishing them playfully. "He cares for you and that's why he teases you."
