Aubrey Carter was busy chasing her dreams, eyes fixed firmly on the future. In the midst of her studies and part-time jobs, she never expected that caring for a spirited six-year-old girl would lead her to something far more complicated - and far more real. As Lila's part-time nanny, Aubrey found herself quietly drawn to the girl's father, Nathaniel Hart: a successful architect, a single dad, and the very definition of complicated. His quiet strength and determination fascinated her, but so did the walls he kept tightly closed. Years later, fate brought them back together. Aubrey, now a rising star in the world of urban planning, and Nathaniel, who has built his architectural firm from scratch, find themselves working side by side. But old feelings linger, and Nathaniel's doubts - about their age difference, about trusting again - threaten to pull them apart before they even get close. Can Aubrey prove that love isn't about numbers on a calendar? Can Nathaniel open his heart to a second chance - before it's too late?

** "Maximilian?" I blink at her silently. She just called my name. By my name. Instead of feeling repulsed and detested by that sound I instead can't feel anything anymore. All I can see is her. My breath stops for a moment again. Just like back in the tent. "Yes it's me." I say, quickly looking away from her side. "Why are you here?" She asks me coldly taking my hand away from her cheek. She then sits up straight in the sofa, far from me. I silently drop my hand back to my lap. I kind of felt disappointed. "Why can't I be here? Can't a husband visit his wife whenever he wants?" She shakes her head. "You're not like other husbands. And I'm not like other wives. You're a husband that's still hung up on their first love. And I'm a wife that wants nothing to do with you." She says with her tired eyes, after having slept only for 2 hours. _____________________________ Maximillian, the Emperor of the Kaisenarch Empire, who still love his first love. Elizabeth, the Empress that only wanted her husbands love She had taken years to realize, that maybe her marriage was always doomed, from the beginning. And her feelings will never be reciprocated. She falls first, he falls harder trope. ______________________________ This is a story I wanted to make from "A stepmother's marchen" or "The fantasy of a stepmother". With the characters Maximillian and Elizabeth. I so badly wanted to see their relationship Develop. None of this is my own
