I was raised to obey.

Polished. Perfect. Promised.

When my father ordered me to marry the heir to one of the Dominion's ruling families, I understood exactly what it meant.

Power traded for peace, my freedom bartered for his empire.

My new husband wasn't the monster I expected.
He was patient, careful, and treated me with nothing but respect.

It didn't take long for me to fall in love.
I thought it was mutual.

Then the truth unraveled, and I learned another woman still whispered his name in the dark.

But I was never meant to be a quiet tragedy.
When the truth broke me, I didn't stay broken.

I made sure I was the one they whispered about next.

The Weight of Wanting by watermelonlipgloss
18 parts Ongoing Mature
Isolde "Izzy" Ravenscroft-brilliant, enigmatic, magnetic. The kind of girl who keeps her distance, yet draws everyone in with an unspoken allure. She's old money, legacy, and the beloved, but quietly mysterious, girl of Easton High. He's Elias Reyes. Just moved from California with his two dads after his mom chose to stay behind and remarry. His family isn't wealthy, but they're close, honest, and full of love. He doesn't have privilege or polish, but he's got raw charm, ambition, and a quiet kind of obsession when it comes to Isolde. From the moment he sees her? It's an obsession. Girls notice Elias immediately-including Marley Davenport, Easton's cheer captain and resident it-girl. But he couldn't care less. His attention is fixed entirely on Isolde. He learns her rhythm, the way she lingers, the subtle way she keeps people at arm's length, the moments when she seems to vanish into the shadows of the school halls. Elias is all quiet confidence and persistent charm. He helps Isolde with her projects, listens carefully when she speaks, and leaves small, thoughtful gifts-things he knows she'll appreciate. It's not for attention, not for status. He just wants to know her. But Isolde? She's guarded. Too guarded. Raised with expectations and a legacy to maintain, she's careful with who gets too close. She likes Elias-too much for her own good-but he's not the kind of boy her family or inner circle would approve of. And Marley? She's quick to remind Isolde of that. Marley has always envied Isolde. So she hides her jealousy beneath a smile, pretending to be friends with Isolde, while biding her time. She seduces Elias, using his vulnerability to betray Isolde and ensure she finds out.
