His thoughts, however, were far from the lush greenery and vibrant flowers. They were consumed by the weight of his responsibilities, the expectations placed upon him, and the looming prospect of marriage to the Lady Katherine, a union that would secure the future of the British Empire.

In the Gold Coast of Africa, a region that would soon become known as Ghana, the British were making their move, staking their claim on the rich resources and strategic ports.

" Aria whispered lowering her head to hide the tears that threatened to fall on her cheeks. " How I live or who I want to be with is usually not influenced by my family or anyone else. I make my own decisions. " He added with a dominant tone before he pressed her red plump lips for a hard kiss swallowing the remaining reluctance in her heart. She fell into intoxication as she closed her eyes allowing herself to be encased in his tight embrace.
