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.

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!

But something was missing that that something was living in Italy far away from him and doesn't want anything to do with him after what he did. Axel knew he wanted Isabella back and he also knew he will get her back no matter what. He'll do anything to get her back. "You broke me! You broke my heart into many pieces," I yelled into his face. Just looking at him makes me want to cry because of all the memories that were coming back. "Pequeño Zorra, (little fox) I'm sorry-" I cut him off. "Don't call me like that. I'm not yours anymore. You lost me and everything that we had," I spat. I decided I had enough of him and his presence, so I grabbed my bag and was about to walk out of the apartment when I felt a strong grip on my wrist which turned me around to stand in front of Axel, inches away from his face. "You know that isn't true. I still love you. I never stopped loving you, amor. I promise you that I will fix this," he whispered and stared at me with his beautiful emerald green eyes. "Well, the feeling isn't mutual," I got out of his hold and walked out of the door without sparing the last glance at him. Before closing the door, I decided to say something. "Don't promise something you can't keep. We both know how that ended," with that I closed the door and walked away.
