No matter how many times his son had tried to convince him, or he too had posed questions to his son, every single time the young man mesmerized him with tales of his forlorn heart broken over and over by the rejection from this same girl.
With the inherent stubbornness of the Hamiltons, Malcolm the fourteenth Duke of Toma realised that he might have just doomed his son.
It definitely made no sense as to why it didn't sit well with him...or did it? Or why he should even consider her, or if he was being frank with himself, why he hasn't spoken to his wife about it yet.
But then again, he had never been the conventional man, Maybelle didn't
A very short victorian story depicting a close ranged tale of love as husband and wife rediscover their love while they prepared for the future of their heir.
PS: It's a short story I don't intend to further anytime soon. I'm still working on the blurb as well....

A Marriage Most Inconvenient
Forced into marriage by duty and obligation, The Duke and Duchess of Rothbury parted ways a week after saying their vows under the explicit understanding that theirs was a marriage in name only. There would be no expectations of love, fidelity, or romance. The Duke hates the American Heiress who married him only for his title, completely unaffected by the senseless tragedy that had made their marriage necessary in the first place. When an illness forces him to retire to the country, he makes sure to choose the property where his wife wouldn't be. Except that she is, and she is still as insufferable as ever. The Duchess resents the man who killed her youthful dreams of love and abandoned her to live his bachelor life unencumbered. When she is jilted by her lover, and faced with inevitable ridicule, she decides to retire to her beloved estate in Cornwall, where she runs an orphanage. Never once does she expect to run into her cold, selfish, insufferable arse of a husband! Forced into each other's company by circumstance, the couple begin to unravel their individual prejudices. Resentment turns into respect and friendship. Respect and friendship soon turn into attraction and affection. Was love closer than either one of them could ever have imagined? And that begged the question; can the Duke win his wife's favor, or is it far too late to make their marriage a love match?

Yet, the cycle persisted, leaving them both yearning for a love that seemed just out of reach.

Stars of Varda - An Elven Love Story (Thranduil)
[A Wattpad FEATURED story!] She's been King Thranduil's close friend for a long time. But when a shocking rumor about his past comes to light, it shakes her entire world. How well does she really know him? With the threat of war and an uncertain future for the Woodland Realm, her comfortable life is changing forever, and so are her feelings for her friend. A story about second chances with eventual romance. Set during the events of the Lord of the Rings. Thranduil/OC Disclaimer: Everything belongs to Tolkien except for my characters. A/N: It was before Christmas 2014 when I first watched BBC's Emma with Romola Garai (wonderful, by the way - watch it if you haven't). A few days later I went to see The Hobbit BOTFA on its opening night. It was during a car trip from a family Christmas party when I came up with idea for this story. And while it doesn't follow the Jane Austen classic completely (Thranduil is no Mr. Knightley!), it was certainly inspired by it. I enjoyed the challenge.
