Ella Wakefield knew something was wrong when her father Benjamin did not return from the market when he was supposed to. Keen to find out where he is she decides to ask around town. What she did not expect was to hear that he was seen near the 'forbidden' castle. Anyone with any sense knew nearing that place would do more harm than good but clearly her father had a death wish as the current owner is known to be cold and ruthless, with no time for anyone or anything.
Prince Theodore Blair was once a handsome man. Now he must live the rest of his life as a 'beast' because his rudeness finally caught up to him and a scorned lover placed a curse on him. The only way that he can break the curse is to fall in love; truly fall in love. The only problem is that every woman that sees him ends up running away in fear. How can he fall in love when no one can give him the time of day? This realisation has made him the even colder man that he is today. Can the sweet yet feisty Ella thaw out Theodore's cold heart?

LEFT HAND
This is my very first... thing ever published. A story that is frankly likely to be boring for most people, but only those who won't have enough heart to detect deep emotions that personally pushed me to finally let you read it, hiding all alone between the lines and the little unconscious humor that Simon transmits to us by letting us dive into his head... It's about loneliness, sadness, regrets, relationships, love... Feelings. Some more confusing than others, some more violent than others, some more forbidden than others... But all as sincere as every line of this short story. I won't say more; I'll let you discover this... thing. Thanks in advance for clicking on LEFT HAND, and I hope you'll like it. I'm sure that right now you're somewhere quiet, relaxed and convinced that you know who you are, who your friends are, or the people closest to you... What they are going through, what is going on in their heads... I was like you... But I was wrong. °°°°° ⚠ Warning ⚠️ The story you are about to immerse yourself in is not fiction. It takes place approximately between June 17th and September 5th, 2003. Some events, dialogue, details, and characters have been added for dramatic purposes, but each chapter captures the essence of a real story, the story of the lives of people who actually existed (and who may still exist). This novel contains themes of depression, violent accidents, obsessive-compulsive disorder, verbal abuse, unconventional coital intimacy, drug use, and suicide. Reserved for mature audiences.

As such, it is very unedited! I am leaving it up because it was my first book on Wattpad, and came straight from my heart. I don't really plan on editing it so I am sorry if you notice any errors/holes/mistakes, but hope you can enjoy it in its very rough and unpolished form nonetheless :-)Complete
