What Was Never Said
Vivienne Fernwood grew up at the edges of the palace-close enough to see the crown, but never meant to wear it. She never wanted it, even as a child. And she always knew she would never belong to that world. As the granddaughter of a lady-in-waiting, her summers were spent behind velvet doors, a quiet part of royal life. She left that world behind long ago. Or so she thought. Now, with her grandmother's health fading and her carefully arranged engagement unraveling, Vivianne returns home to a life she no longer fits into-and to the prince who was once her closest friend. He's colder now. She's not the girl she used to be. And the palace no longer feels like memory, but warning. As grief, tradition, and old loyalties collide, Vivianne must choose between the life everyone expects... and the one her heart has never truly left behind. A story of love that lingers, silence that shapes us, and the quiet rebellion of finding your voice. *WILL BE UPDATED AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK*

I stop, putting my hands on my hips. "Are you going to order all of them?" "If I want to, yes, I will." He doesn't budge. I sigh, sitting next to him. "You know that you don't have to do this. I can go buy my own dresses." "I know, but I want to see you wear dresses that I chose. Besides, is it so wrong to want to spend time with you?" ______ Note: This is entirely my work. I want to see if I'm able to write something without a plot set up for me. I hope you like it!Complete

Meanwhile, the Marquess St. Arcey, perceiving Eliza as the embodiment of a femme fatale, cannot bear the thought of her belonging to another. His ardent pursuit of her heart and hand further complicates matters. To exacerbate the predicament, the fate of Eliza's family fortune hangs precariously in the balance. The crucial documents that substantiate their ancestral estates and noble title are hidden within a chest, found by the royal historian.

The historian's demise summons the long-standing rivals of the Price family - the Grays - who descend upon London with their agenda.

His presence in Eliza's life becomes an omen of unfortunate events, marked by searing insults unleashed each time their paths cross. Will Eliza navigate this maelstrom of emotions and choices to find her ultimate happiness? And who shall claim the chest concealing the Price family's fortunes?
