We all have misunderstanding as human beings but this one chance of opportunity
that I had to decline was the most crucial moment of my life.
Why did I sacrifice a comrade, a faithful friend and a sophisticated well-being-I
have had this situation under control until the fearsome enemy came with their
gnashed teeth coming towards us.
Well, I'm only 13, what do you expect I do-fight them courageously and hold them
-where is the odds in that, our alliance we're too busy in fighting the front-I didn't
even applied for this nonsense,I have been dragged here at my own will, I'm not
exaggerating-I'm telling the truth yet I choose this path for my own selfish reasons;
First, I was so desperate to experience a great side of my nation, Second, I didn't
have enough time to re-think my stupid decisions.
And third, I love to unwind and to learn new things about my country and my own
heritage. How would this story end, should I do something? Or be a helpless,
reckless, and foolish human being that I came to be?
Times running out, who could comfort me and answer my problems? My only way
out is to act decisively, they were no chose at all. The first that has pump into my
head is my love ones.
My country the Philippines is so crazy and bizarre it takes so many revolutions for
us to really attain our freedom. We are such a diverse people, and on World War 2,
we had fought like crazy.
We became the First Republic of Asia, even if it was only short-lived. We had
proven ourselves us a worthy allied, because we had help not only in the Korean
War, but also in different countries.
Pessimism wasn't going to get me anywhere. I need to think of a plan to distract
the enemy. Looking before the time I was in my comfort zone. I should tell you the
whole story from the beginning the day that aspired to change my country for
good.
This is where I start writing it.
Just when she's decided to leave the Town, Lady Cressida Belverst is forced to marry Lord Calan Haverston, the man who coincidentally knows a way out. Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong?
***
It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed.
Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out?
Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her?
Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires.
