Perpetual virginity is a practice in the Church that can never be renounced nor abandoned. It is a lifelong vow, that when broken can result in the offender being sentenced to death. Isabella de Medici took the vow mere weeks before her arranged marriage- a decision that would change her, the Medici name, and history forever.

"I just wanted to point out this is very well written and quite interesting. Why is it that stories like these don't get enough attention?" -Jubilee1920
"It's really well written and I'm excited to read more!" -grangered
"[the author] did well, in my opinion, to show that Christianity in those times are not at all a religious entity but more like a political one. I myself have read many historical fiction novels that talk about the corruption of the Church. Bribery for excommunication and etc. The pope here seems okay though, so perhaps [the author is] targeting the institution itself, that the amount of power it wields has made it corrupt. " -syllabuspearl
"I have read and reread this multiple times up to [this update point]. I love it and can't wait to see where it goes." -aana_aana
"This book deserves to get published, it's rare to find gems like this on wattpad" -ThaisaKing
"I really enjoyed reading it more than I ever anticipated, all I need to say is that I will add it my library to read it later with the rest!" -anwaAlsa

Remembering You For Eternity
[[Book 2 (FINAL book) of "One Lifetime is Never Enough"]] "I would have waited for you forever." The lament of a faraway voice that she had missed - that she had been longing to answer to - echoed in her mind. "But, you are no longer here." The despairing sigh was a muted murmur - clawing at her, begging for her to respond. But she was there, here, wherever the voice was. But then again, she might as well was not. She could no longer see, could no longer reach him. The voice sounded so near, but it was also as far as another world she could no longer be in. Nevertheless, she could still feel, in the darkness that was cradling her non-existence; the agony she felt in her non-beating heart, in her dormant soul, it was all due to her longing. For the owner of the voice. For him. The voice kept begging in agony - tormenting her, tormenting himself. And she could not do anything. "Please wait for me." "Please remember me." "Why... why can't I see you?" "Won't you wait for me?" ----------------- For you, I will wait for eternity. This time, I will wait. This time, it is my turn to wait. So please, please just let me find you. Please, be there when I find you. Please, tell me that you are still mine. That I still exist, perhaps not in your memory, but etched in your very soul. Like you have been deeply engraved in mine, lingering like a beautiful illness I will gladly bear and succumb to. Because, I will search to all corners of this world, and wait until the end of days. For you. Because, this world will always be wretched without you. And then, I will always, forever, bloom. For you. -----------------Lengkap

Don't Leave Me
"Stand up.", he said to me. "What?", I asked confused. "STAND UP.", he ordered slightly aggressive. I quickly got up from the bed and stood in front of him. "Take off your underwear.", he demanded. "Wh-" "Now." Doing what he told me to I slowly slipped my underwear off. I was now completely naked as his eyes roamed over my whole body again. "Lay down on your back." Once again I obeyed him without talking back this time which caused him to smirk. Then he grabbed my hands and cuffed them to the bed frame. My eyes widened and as I was about to ask him what he's doing he held up one of his hands. Understanding his signal I remained silent. "Good girl", he whispered in my ear. ------------------- Emily Potters, a 21 year old girl, had to run away from her dark past. Seeking shelter in New York, she battled her way through the darkness.

Choices
A well-loved tale, retold. Set in a universe where our single-minded deity did not make the same choices as he did, and peace was achieved a little bit differently. Because, no matter the time, place, or universe, DH will always fall in love with FJ. Inspired by that final scene in the PB Outtake, where DH said, and I quote: "So even if we didn't know each other, as soon as I saw you, I would fall for you very quickly. No matter how many times it happens, it would still be the same." (Chapter 9, Back to Chaos in the Dream, UnluckyWhiteCat's translation) Disclaimer: This is a work of fan fiction using characters from the ELOD/Pillow Book universe, which is owned by Tang Qi Gong Zi, without whose wonderful creation this story would not exist. It is written for pure amusement only, not for profit, and not part of the canon story line. Unless otherwise expressed in the chapters, does not include events in TMOPB, the Pillow Book Outtake (Back Into Chaos in the Dream), Lotus Steps, and other future installments of the Three Lives, Three Worlds Series.

War of Hearts || Reign || REWRITE
Bianca de Medici, the illegitimate daughter of Cosimo de Medici, was sent to the French court at the age of 7 to live under the protection of Queen Catherine de Medici. Raised as a companion to the Valois children, she quickly became entangled in the intricate world of politics, power, and loyalty at the French court. Nine years later, Bianca's friendship with the Dauphin, Francis, evolves into something far deeper-a love neither of them can deny. But duty and politics stand in their way. Francis is promised to Mary, Queen of Scots, in a union meant to secure the future of France, while Bianca is reminded of her place as an outsider in the royal world. The forces of courtly intrigue, familial expectations, and the ambitions of others conspire to keep them apart. As Bianca faces the painful reality of being torn from the man she loves, she must also grapple with the knowledge that Francis will soon marry another. Francis, too, is caught between his duty to the crown and his desire for Bianca, knowing that his heart belongs to her alone. Amid the glittering halls of the French court and the shadowy corridors of secret power, Bianca and Francis must decide whether their love is strong enough to defy the world-or if it will be consumed by the war between their hearts. Will they find a way to rewrite their destinies, or will their forbidden love lead to their downfall?Lengkap
