" It wasn't supposed to have been like this , my life wasn't supposed to have been like this nor was I was supposed to end like this . Yet I did and as I gasped at the pain coursing through me
I realized I hadn't belonged to myself neither had my life been mine to control from the day he entered it "

Pine , she does for years on end for the man she had only but exchanged mere pleasantries with . Unfathomable her feelings were even to herself ,yet it did little to change how she felt for him , without any hopes of ever being his woman . How was she to hope for it when all she saw when she looked into the mirror was a face covered with pus-filled cystic acne , which if nothing else, had taken its toll on her self-confidence . Surely Caleb Duke would never be attracted to her even if their evident age difference was to be kept apart .
Unexpectedly though he was and a marriage , an alliance between the two companies never deemed of does take place.
What remains to be seen though , is if the devotion and love Faith has felt towards Caleb be returned in the intensity akin to hers or will loving him be the most exquisite form of self-destruction .

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!
