Abigail Roberts built her life on grit and tenacity. She raised her brothers after their mother's disappearance and opened a cozy little pub in small town Stonebridge, Connecticut. The only problem is that the pub is crumbling beneath their feet and she needs what she doesn't have-money-to fix the place she's worked so hard to build. Declan Fitzgerald has never forgotten the fiery Abigail. So when he returns home from New York for his mother's annual Autumn Harvest Party, he's happy to help secure a replacement caterer and heads straight for the Plumber's Pub--a place he's well aware Abigail runs but has never seen for himself. With secrets of the past brimming on the horizon beside a storm, Abigail swallows her pride and accepts the catering job. But this time when she sets foot on the opulent estate, she will not be intimidated by the Fitzgeralds as she once was, and she will not go quietly into the night as she did before. Under the mists of chilled rain and surrounded by twinkle lights of the extravagant party, the past and present combust with long-held secrets, deep desires, and love that has never faded through the seasons.

There once was a legend that the Kuran family had two daughters. Whispers erupted among society. Many believed such tale was simply a myth, for they all knew Rido would only snatch them away. But unbeknownst to them, that simple rumor, that tale is in fact very true. The Kuran family indeed have two daughters. It was known to the world that Juri conceived a daughter named Yuki, while the other was hidden from society. The elder sister between the two was bestowed the name Akahina. She was far more beautiful than Yuki and possessed a very special power, magic. It was uncommon for a pure blood to possess a power so great. Because of this, she became the family's precious treasure. Many would think she would be the center of attention, but her life was an isolated and lonely one. While her family neglected her presence, Kaname was the only one who saw her, but the moment her trust was betrayed by the very one she loved, she left and so did her memories. The Kurans believed that she fled when Rido attacked the manor, but they were oh so very wrong. Her family was the very reason why she left in the first place. "It is better to be feared than loved," These are the memoirs of the forgotten princess, Akahina Shall we take a glimpse of her memories?

"Excuse me?" "You heard me. I suppose you don't remember this but I'll tell you a little story," She cleared her throat, "Once upon a time there lived a family of 5 monsters. A pair of parents and 3 children. One was an angel. Not a monster, but she was treated differently. Everyday, she got beaten and yelled at. That was why she locked herself in her room and no-one cared to bother seeing her as they treated her like trash. One did though, he was a handsome boy but a very ugly one at that, a traitorous monster you call. One day, as the little girl decided to exit her room, she found out he betrayed her for somebody's hand in marriage, someone that disliked the angel to the pit. Oh my. Poor little girl cried so much, that her rage and power took over. She had no use for her cute, gentle side anymore, and darkness clouded her mind. On the same day, she jumped out from the window. The end." Emiko smiled sickly before it turned into an obvious fake one that she purposely did. I stared at her with my eyes widened apart as I processed the whole story over and over again in my mind. I have a really sick feeling now. Not physically, but mentally. As if I've done something really wrong and feel guilty. "W-What do you mean, I don't remember this story? You never tell me things.." I said. She begun with a scoff and laughed manically. "One day..you'll know. When the time comes, get ready. Because I'll get back at you for the things you did to me. Ten times harder." She hissed before passing me and knocking me back with her shoulder.
