Isabella was a vision that commanded attention wherever she went. Her olive skin glowed softly, kissed by the sun of distant lands, while her eyes held a deep, earthy richness reminiscent of the darkest coffee beans. Framed by long, jet-black hair that cascaded in waves, she exuded an air of mystery and allure.

In her tailored attire, she embodied elegance with a hint of rebelliousness. Whether adorned in the sleek lines of a fitted blazer and tailored pants or the flowing elegance of a vibrant dress, her fashion sense mirrored her multifaceted nature-part sophistication, part audacity.

The grace in her movements was almost hypnotic. With every step, her heels struck the ground like a confident melody, echoing her unwavering determination. There was an underlying strength in her posture, a silent assurance that she could navigate any situation thrown her way.

Her face, a canvas of stories untold, bore the subtlest hint of defiance in the curve of her smile, a testament to the battles she had fought and the victories she had won. Yet, there was an undeniable warmth in her gaze, a spark of kindness that contrasted with the shadows of her clandestine life.

Isabella's aura was a blend of contrasting worlds-the fiery spirit of her Latino heritage intertwined with the sophistication of the European elegance she effortlessly carried. Her beauty wasn't just skin deep; it emanated from a depth of character, from the strength of her resolve and the resilience that shaped her every action.

Venice held a special place in her heart, a city where her beauty wasn't just admired but celebrated-a place where she felt a sense of belonging amidst the glistening canals and timeless architecture. Yet, even in the chilly streets of Stockholm, where the contrast between her heritage and surroundings was stark, she held her own, a beacon of strength and allure in the most unexpected of settings.

The Flower Longed Death by jezxzica
37 parts Complete Mature
Princess Serena felt she was doomed to live a dreary, protected existence in the palace that she was prepared to end. Even once she inherits the title of Queen, the kingdom of Eden would never cease to protect its flower. Her fear of living a dull life ate at her until her tempting first love, Caius, renters it. He vows to free her of her sorrows with a promise of magic, adventure, and passion. She thought he would bring her the excitement she had been looking for, but joining her deadly infatuation would wilt Eden's flower to the brink of agony. ------------------------------------------------------------------- When he turned his ear to me, I noticed that I could see the right side of his mouth. I've used it as a substitute for eye contact. When he smirked just now, I felt myself tremble. "There's a corpse of my creation at my feet Serena. What makes you think I'm devout to religion?" That explains his willingness to sin. "You're a virtuous woman for keeping to your vows, but I am by no means a virtuous man." His intent to court me is not pure. It's certainly from his heart, but his cause is not only for my love. There's something that he must prove to me now... Whether his will is enough to turn me against my virtues. With each passing day I'm growing more weary that it might be. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Cover art by Erika De Luca on ArtStation This story if the first of a series Word Count: 147,000 Please read the introduction for triggers!

Beneath a sky blanketed in the velvet embrace of night, a soft wind stirred the leaves of ancient oaks, carrying with it the scent of rain yet to fall. In the quiet town of Evershore, where the ocean's rhythmic murmur brushed against the cliffs like a lover's sigh, there lived a woman named Isabella. She had spent most of her life in the gentle comfort of routine, her days flowing like the tide-predictable, safe, and calm. Yet beneath the surface of her carefully constructed world, there was a yearning. It was as if her heart had once known a great love, a love that had slipped away like the sand between her fingers. She didn't know why it felt this way; only that something deep within her had been left unsatisfied, a part of her soul forever seeking something just out of reach. One evening, as the sun dipped low and painted the sky in shades of gold and rose, Isabella stood at the edge of the cliff that overlooked the vast, infinite ocean. The wind, carrying the promise of rain, whispered through her hair, and for the first time in years, she allowed herself to dream of something more than what she had. There was a restlessness in her, a quiet understanding that her life had been a quiet prelude to something she could not yet name. It was then that she saw him. A figure emerged from the mist that clung to the water's edge, a man whose presence seemed to defy time and space. His dark hair tousled by the wind, his gaze intense yet distant, as though he had come from a place beyond the horizon, a world Isabella had never known but somehow remembered. His eyes met hers-strangers' eyes, but not unfamiliar-and something inside her stirred, as though a forgotten part of her had just been awakened. The world held its breath. The sea sighed. And Isabella knew, with a certainty she could not explain, that her life was about to change forever.
