Rosella's one true love Chapter 1 A SIMPLE LIFE

Rosella woke before dawn, the chill of spring still clinging to the air. She stirred the embers of last night's fire, adding dry wood to coax flames back to life. Her mother, Elara, stirred in their small bed, coughing softly.

"Morning, child," Elara whispered.

Rosella smiled, helping her mother sit up. "I'll fetch water."

Outside, the village slowly came alive. Rosella exchanged quiet greetings with neighbors, her feet carrying her to the nearby well. The sun rose over Orendell, casting a golden glow on the thatched roofs.

After fetching water, Rosella helped Elara with breakfast - a meager meal of bread and porridge. Their small cottage, passed down from Elara's family, was humble but lovingly kept.

As they ate, Elara's cough worsened.

"Mother, should I fetch the healer?" Rosella asked.

Elara waved her hand. "I'll be fine, child. Just tired."

Rosella nodded, worry etched on her face.

After breakfast, Rosella began her daily chores: tending to their vegetable garden, feeding their sole chicken, and mending worn clothing. Her fingers moved deftly, accustomed to the simple, hardworking life.

As the sun climbed higher, Rosella took a moment to gaze out the window. The rolling hills and lush forests surrounding Orendell beckoned her to explore. But duty kept her rooted.

"Time to gather herbs for mother." she reminded herself.

Rosella tied her worn leather apron around her waist, gathering a wicker basket and scissors for her herb-gathering task. She walked through the village, exchanging quiet greetings with familiar faces.

At the village edge, she entered the lush forest, following a well-trodden path. Sunlight filtered through the canopy above, casting dappled shadows on the forest floor.

As she gathered wild thyme and rosemary, Rosella's thoughts drifted to her mother's worsening cough. She worried about the coming winter, when illness spread quickly through Orendell.

A rustling in the nearby bush startled her.

"Who's there." she said, looking around for a weapon just in case.

"I said who's there."

A deer ran out of the bushes.

"Ah, just a deer," she sighed, smiling.

The doe's large brown eyes met hers.

Rosella watched, mesmerized.

The deer's gentle grazing calmed her worries.

As she resumed gathering herbs.

Her thoughts returned to her mother's cough.

Worry creased her brow.

She quickened her pace.

To finish her task.

Before nightfall.

As Rosella returned home, her mother's coughing grew louder.

"Mother, I'm back," Rosella said, setting down her herbs.

Elara smiled weakly from their small bed.

"Did you find the thyme?" she asked.

Rosella nodded, concern etched on her face.

"Your cough's worse. I'll make a poultice."

Elara's eyes drooped.

"I'll be fine, child. Just tired."

But Rosella knew better.

The cough had lingered for weeks.

Their village healer, Mrs Hannah, had diagnosed a stubborn lung infection.

Rosella feared the worst.

Winter's chill would exacerbate Elara's condition.

Their small cottage lacked proper warmth and medicine was expensive if not scarce. But nevertheless, Rosella's determination hardened, she find a way to help her mother, no matter the cost.

Rosella boiled water, adding dried sage and chamomile to create a soothing tea. She then mixed crushed thyme and rosemary into a poultice, wrapping it in a clean linen cloth.

"Mother, drink this," Rosella said, helping Elara sit up.

Elara sipped the tea, her eyes closing in gratitude.

Rosella applied the poultice to Elara's chest.

"This will ease your cough," Rosella explained.

Elara smiled weakly.

"You're a natural healer, Rosella."

Rosella's knowledge of herbal remedies came from Mrs Hannah.

As a child, Rosella watched Agnes tend to the village gardens.

Learning the properties of each plant.

From calendula's wound-healing powers.

To lavender's calming effects.

Rosella's fascination grew.

She practiced alongside Hannah.

Mastering the art of herbalism.

Rosella checked the poultice, ensuring it remained warm.

"Mother, how's your cough?" she asked.

Elara's eyes fluttered open.

"Easier, child. Thank you."

Rosella smiled, relief washing over her.

She prepared a light supper – vegetable broth and bread.

Elara ate little, but Rosella encouraged every bite.

As night fell, Rosella helped Elara settle into bed.

"I'll stay with you," Rosella whispered.

Elara's hand grasped Rosella's.

"Sleep, child. You need rest."

But Rosella's worry kept her awake. She watched Elara's frail form, listening to her labored breathing.

The fire crackled.

Shadows danced on the walls.

"What if Mother's illness worsens?" Rosella thought to herself.

The weight of responsibility pressed upon her.

Rosella's eyes stung as tears threatened.

She bit her lip, holding them back.

Fear and uncertainty wrestled within her.

What if Mother doesn't recover?

Who will care for me?

The fire's warmth couldn't chase away.

The chill of loneliness.

Rosella's thoughts spiraled.

Her mother's illness exposed.

Their fragile existence.

No father, no siblings.

Only each other.

Rosella's resolve hardened.

She'd care for Mother.

No matter the cost.

But the weight of responsibility.

Crushed her at times.

Like now.

As she gazed at Elara's frail form.

Sleep had finally claimed her mother.

Rosella's exhaustion beckoned.

But her mind raced.

Rosella's gaze drifted to the small, intricately carved wooden box on the mantle. Her father's last gift to her.

Memories flooded her mind.

Her father, Theophilus, a sturdy soldier with a warm smile.

Her brother, Eryndor, barely 19 when he marched off to war.

The day they left, Rosella's heart ached.

The day they didn't return, it shattered.

The war between Algracia and Winervia had claimed countless lives.

Including hers.

Theophilus's letters had filled her with pride.

Eryndor's had made her laugh.

But silence followed.

Only news of the war's end.

And the list of fallen soldiers.

Theophilus and Eryndor, side by side.

Forever etched in her memory.

Rosella's tears fell, dripping onto her apron.

Grief, still raw after years.

Elara's gentle voice had comforted her.

But now, Elara needed comfort.

Rosella wiped her tears.

Determination hardened her jaw.

She'd care for Elara.

Honor her family's memory.

Keep their love alive.

The fire crackled.

Shadows danced.

Rosella's thoughts calmed.

In the silence, resolve bloomed.

She'd face whatever came.

For her mother.

For herself.

Rosella's resolve hardened.

She'd find ways to improve Elara's health.

And secure their future.

Determined, Rosella stood.

And began to pace.

Ideas formed.

She'd gather more herbs.

And experiment with new remedies.

Consult Mrs Hannah

And seek her guidance.

Rosella stopped pacing.

And gazed out the window.

The moon cast a silver glow.

On Orendell's sleeping village.

A sense of peace settled.

Over her worries.

With renewed purpose.

Rosella returned to Elara's side.

Her mother's chest rose.

And fell with gentle breaths.

Rosella smiled.

And took Elara's hand.

"We'll face this together.

Mother."

Elara stirred.

"Rosella?"

"I'm here.

Rest now."

Elara's eyes closed.

Rosella watched.

Over her mother.

Through the night.

As the night wore on, Rosella's thoughts turned to the village.

Orendell's close-knit community had always supported its own.

Rosella knew she could count on them.

Madam Hannah, with her wisdom and herbal knowledge.

Blacksmith Thoric, who'd fashioned tools for Theophilus and Eryndor.

Weaver Eluned, whose warm blankets kept them cozy.

The village would rally around Elara.

Rosella's determination grew.

She'd seek their help.

And guidance.

Tomorrow, she'd visit Madam Hannah

And share her concerns.

Agnes would know.

Of remedies and treatments.

Beyond their small cottage.

The village's collective knowledge.

Would aid Elara's recovery.

Rosella's eyes drooped.

Fatigue claiming her.

She settled into the chair.

Beside Elara's bed.

Sleep crept in.

As the fire's embers died.

The village's silence.

Wrapped around her.

Like a warm blanket.

Rosella woke early the next morning.

Exhaustion lingered.

But hope renewed.

Elara's cough had lessened.

Thanks to Madam Hannah's tonic.

And the villagers' support.

Rosella smiled.

As she prepared breakfast.

Porridge with honey.

Elara's favorite.

"Mother, how are you?"

Rosella asked, serving the porridge.

Elara's eyes brightened.

"Better, child."

Rosella's heart swelled.

With relief.

As they ate.

The warmth and love.

Of the village gathering.

Still filled her heart.

As Rosella cared for Elara, she noticed a shift within herself.

Her worries still lingered, but clarity emerged.

She saw her own strength.

And resilience.

In every herb gathered.

Every poultice applied.

Every comforting word spoken.

Rosella realized.

She was more than a worried daughter.

More than a village healer.

She was a source of hope.

A beacon of light.

In Orendell's darkest moments.

This newfound self-awareness.

Brought tears to her eyes.

And a sense of purpose.

To her heart.

Rosella's hands.

Trembled less.

Her voice grew steadier.

As she tended to Elara.

And the villagers.

Rosella's newfound confidence rippled through Orendell.

The villagers noticed her assured pride, her compassionate smile.

Her unwavering dedication.

Inspired them.

To face their own struggles.

With renewed courage.

Thoric, the blacksmith, approached Rosella.

"Your care for Elara inspires us all,"

He said, his voice filled with gratitude.

"We're blessed to have you, Rosella."

Eluned, the weaver, nodded in agreement.

"Your strength is contagious."

Rosella's heart swelled.

With humility.

And purpose.

She continued to lend a helping hand to everyone. Her confidence grew as she navigated challenging days and uncertain nights.

One evening, as stars twinkled.

Rosella sat beside Elara.

Who gazed at her with pride.

"Rosella, you've become."

A shining light.

In our village."

Rosella's tears.

Fell, mingling.

With joy.

And gratitude.

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.

I'm a moaning mess as Antonio slams into me from behind. His hips hit me hard, and each deep thrust sends shockwaves through my body. My breasts bounce with every movement, my eyes roll back, and I moan his name without control. The pleasure he gives me is overwhelming-I can't hold it in. I feel my walls tighten around his thick length. The pressure builds fast, and then- I explode around him, my orgasm tearing through me. He groans loud and deep as he releases inside me, his hot seed spilling into me in thick pulses. Just when I think he's done, his grip shifts. He turns me over and lays me flat on the bed. His dark eyes stare into mine for a moment, filled with raw hunger. I glance down- He's still hard. Before I can react, he grabs my wrists, pins me down, and pushes himself inside me again. He fills me completely. My hips rise on instinct, meeting his rhythm. Our bodies move together, locked in a wild, uncontrollable dance. "You're fucking sweet," he groans, his voice rough and breathless. "I can't get enough of you... not after that night, Sol," he growls, slamming into me harder. The force of his words and his thrusts make my body shake. "Come for me," he commands, his voice low and full of heat. And just like that, my body trembles. Waves of pleasure crash over me. I cry out, shaking with the force of my orgasm. "Mine," he growls again, louder this time. His voice is feral, wild, like a beast claiming what belongs to him. The sound sends a shiver down my spine. *** Solene was betrayed, humiliated, and erased by Rowan Brook, the man she once called husband, Solene is left with nothing but her name and a burning hunger for revenge. She turns to the one man powerful enough to destroy the Brooks family from within: Rowan's estranged and dangerous uncle, Antonio Rodriguez. He's ruthless. A playboy who never sleeps with the same woman twice. But when Solene walks into his world, he doesn't just break the rules, he creates new ones just for her. What begins as a calculated game quickly spirals into obsession, power plays, and secrets too deadly to stay buried. Because Solene isn't just anyone's ex... she's the woman they should've never underestimated. Can she survive the price of revenge? Or will her heart become the next casualty? And when the truth comes out, will Antonio still choose her... or destroy her?
