Soft light flooded the cottage, staining rose-gold stripes on wooden walls. Elara woke up before him, her face on Adrian's naked shoulder, his arm still wrapped around her. She didn't move for what seemed like an eternity—only heard the slow thump of his heart against her ear.

It was their first morning as wife and husband.

And yet, there was no urgency in the air, no rush to rise. The world outside could wait.

Adrian's fingers moved gently through her hair as he blinked awake. He smiled, a rare and beautiful thing that had grown more frequent in the past weeks.

“I was afraid I’d wake up and find it was all a dream,” he murmured, voice rough from sleep.

Elara moved forward to gaze at him, her tired smile golden. "If it's so, I don't ever want to wake up."

He pulled her to him, his lips on her forehead, softness that could not be imitated. "Then let's never wake up. Let's remain in this dream as long as possible."

But outside the cottage, there was life—and always would be.

  • Love's Healing Touch   Chapter 62 – The First Storm Together

    It began with the gentle touch of the wind across the windows of the cottage. Elara was in the kitchen, singing softly as she prepared tea. The air was filled with the scent of rosemary and chamomile, and the smell of rain on the horizon.Adrian entered, his hair still damp from washing, dressed in a simple linen shirt she had mended for him. He looked more himself these days—stronger, more present. The scars remained, as did the memories of his illness, but something within him had softened.“You’re up early,” Elara said, pouring him a cup without needing to ask.“I couldn’t sleep,” he replied with a small smile, accepting the cup. “The sky looks strange today. Like it’s holding its breath.”Elara glanced out the window, noticing the thickening clouds creeping in over the hills. “A storm is coming. It’ll be the first one of the season.”Adrian stepped behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist and resting his chin on her shoulder. “Then we’ll weather it together.”They sat thus f

  • Love's Healing Touch   Chapter 1 – The Fall of Adrian Lancaster

    Adrian Lancaster had everything a man could desire—wealth, power, and an undeniable charm that made people turn their heads the moment he entered a room. Women admired him, men envied him, and the world seemed to bend at his feet. Wherever he went, he was treated like a king, adored for his breathtaking beauty and the effortless confidence he carried.Tonight was no different. The grand ballroom of the Lancaster estate was alive with music and chatter, glittering under the golden chandeliers. His fiancée, Seraphina Vale, clung to his arm, dressed in a stunning sapphire gown that complemented her delicate features. “You truly are the most handsome man I’ve ever seen,” she whispered against his ear, her lips curling into a smile.Adrian smirked, reveling in the way her eyes glowed with admiration. “And you, my love, are the most exquisite woman in this room.”They were perfect together—at least, that’s what the world believed. People often spoke of them as the ideal couple, envying thei

  • Love's Healing Touch   Chapter 2 – Lost and Unwanted

    The night stretched endlessly before him.Adrian trudged forward, his body battered by exhaustion, his legs barely holding him upright. His once-pristine clothing, tailored to perfection in a life that now seemed like a distant dream, hung off his frame in ragged pieces. Dirt clung to his boots, his breath came out in ragged gasps, and his skin burned with fever.But the worst part wasn’t the pain—it was the silence.The absence of voices that once called his name with love. The emptiness left by the people who should have stood by him but instead turned their backs the moment his body changed.He remembered the whispers that followed him through the grand halls of his estate, the way his father’s expression hardened when the first darkened veins appeared along his jaw."You have brought shame to this family, Adrian."His mother had been no better. She wouldn’t even look at him.But Seraphina—her betrayal cut the deepest.The woman he had once loved, the one he had planned to build a

  • Love's Healing Touch   Chapter 3 – A Fragile Beginning

    Adrian’s eyes fluttered open, met with the dim glow of a single lantern hanging from the ceiling. The room was small, warm, and unfamiliar. A wooden shelf lined with old books and handmade trinkets rested against the far wall, and the scent of herbs and freshly cut wood lingered in the air. A soft blanket was draped over him, the fabric rough but comforting. For a moment, he panicked, his mind racing to remember where he was.Then it hit him—he had collapsed, and she had brought him here.His fingers curled into the blanket as he sat up, his body aching with resistance. He was still weak, the fever from his worsening condition making his limbs feel like lead. His gaze shifted toward the small window, where faint morning light streamed in. Outside, he saw her—the girl who had taken him in—moving about in the yard, tending to the animals. She didn’t glance his way, didn’t hover like others might have.He should leave. He needed to leave.But his body wasn’t ready.Adrian clenched his ja

  • Love's Healing Touch   Chapter 4 – The Walls Between Us

    Adrian awoke to the faint sound of birds chirping outside. Sunlight filtered through the small window, casting a soft golden glow across the modest wooden room. The warmth of the morning was comforting, but as soon as Adrian shifted to sit up, a familiar unease settled over him.He was still here.His fingers curled into the blanket as his eyes wandered around the room. The small wooden shelves, the dried herbs hanging near the window, the neat stacks of books—everything about this place felt untouched by cruelty. Yet, that didn’t mean it was safe.For years, he had learned that kindness often came with a price. No one ever helped him out of pure goodwill. The moment people saw what he had become, they flinched, their pity twisting into revulsion. He had no reason to believe that she would be any different.Still, there was something unsettling about the way she treated him.He had expected fear. Expected distance.Instead, she had given him warmth. A bed. Food. Care.Adrian ran a han

  • Love's Healing Touch   Chapter 5 – Cracks in the Armor

    The night was deep and quiet, the kind of silence that stretched endlessly, swallowing every sound. The faint crackling of the fire in the other room was the only noise Adrian could hear. Sleep refused to come, leaving him trapped in the hollow space between exhaustion and restless thought.He turned his head slightly, catching sight of the dim glow seeping through the doorway. His body still ached from weakness, but something in him stirred with curiosity.Slowly, he pushed the blanket aside and got up, careful not to make a sound. When he stepped into the small living area, he saw her sitting near the fire, her hands idly threading a piece of fabric. Her head was tilted downward, her expression peaceful as she worked, and from her lips, a soft hum carried through the air.It wasn’t a song he recognized, but there was something soothing about it. It reminded him of something distant—something warm.She must have sensed his presence because she looked up, her eyes meeting his. She did

  • Love's Healing Touch   Chapter 6 – The Walls Begin to Crack

    The days in the village followed a slow, predictable rhythm—sunrise bringing the scent of damp earth and the quiet hum of life, dusk settling in with the whisper of cool winds and the glow of the fire. It was a rhythm Adrian had never known, a life so different from the one he had left behind.And yet, with each passing day, something inside him shifted. The isolation he had once embraced like armor was beginning to feel… different. Not suffocating, not unbearable—just different.And it all started with her.Adrian woke up to the scent of something warm drifting through the air. For a moment, he forgot where he was. The wooden walls, the soft flickering of candlelight—it was a stark contrast to the cold, sterile world he had abandoned.He pushed himself up, feeling the familiar ache in his limbs. His body was still recovering, but it was stronger now, steadier.Through the open doorway, he spotted her near the fireplace, stirring a pot of something that sent a rich aroma through the s

  • Love's Healing Touch   Chapter 7 – A Step Closer

    The village was still quiet in the early morning, the air crisp with the lingering chill of the night. Birds chirped softly in the distance, their songs blending with the rustling leaves as a soft breeze swept through the land.Adrian sat outside the small wooden cabin, his back against the rough surface of the porch railing, watching the sky shift from deep purple to soft orange. He had spent so long avoiding people, locking himself away from the world, but now, something was changing. He wasn’t sure if he liked it or if it terrified him more than anything else.Inside, he could hear her moving around, the clinking of dishes, the faint sound of humming. There was a warmth in the air, not just from the rising sun but from the scent of freshly baked bread, something sweet that made his stomach tighten with unexpected hunger.He had never cared for small things like these before. But now… he noticed.The door creaked open, and she stepped outside, carrying a small plate in her hands.“H

  • Love's Healing Touch    Chapter 60 – Vows Among the Wildflowers

    Spring entered the village unobtrusively. The sun poured down upon the hills benevolently, and the breeze brought the fragrance of wildflowers in bloom over the fields. Three weeks had passed since Adrian and Elara returned from the estate, and in those three weeks, they had started planning, step by step, for the next chapter of their lives as one.They had not seen a beautiful cathedral wedding or a luxurious party of nobles and the wealthy. Instead, they'd opted to take the field just outside of Elara's hut—the very field where Adrian had fallen several months prior, broken and lost, when she had first seen him.He stood now on the edge of the same field, his heart full but unyielding.He stood rooted there as Elara came into sight, dressed in a delicate ivory gown she had fashioned herself. Delicate embroidered lilies curled at the hems of her sleeves, and a daisy crown sat securely in her hair. Her ever-soft eyes met his the instant she caught sight of him.Adrian's breath was ta

  • Love's Healing Touch    Chapter 59 – The Letter in the Attic

    The next morning, after the low-key proposal of Adrian, was surrounded by an atmosphere of quietness. Although nothing had been officially stated, there was something in how he grasped the hand of Elara as they walked into the breakfast area that caused everyone to stop. Clarisse was the first to notice, eyes darting from the flushed face of Elara to the gentle face of Adrian before a sly grin crept over her lips.Breakfast was unnaturally quiet. Nobody asked questions, yet everyone knew.Afterwards, while Elara had stepped outside to feed the birds in the rear gardens, Clarisse overcaught Adrian in the hallway."She said yes," he conceded before she could get a word in."I expected," Clarisse smiled tenderly. "She radiates.""So do I, I guess.""You do." Clarisse touched her fingertips to his shoulder and smiled. "You two deserve it."Adrian's tone was gentle. "I never thought I would again."Following breakfast, Elara strolled into the older section of the estate. Curiosity pulled a

    Morning air was soft, the kind that signaled spring, but winter had not released its grip yet. Sunlight poured down on the estate's stone pathways, warming dew-kissed grass and casting shadows across ancient walls covered in ivy, with patches of golden light. Adrian stood at the master bedroom window, tea clutched in his hand, watching over Elara as she worked among the herb bed just inside the garden wall.There was tranquility in the movement she made—slow, slow, rooted in the earth beneath her feet. She hadn't traveled around the world. She adored it.And she'd adored him.From the first day she'd brought him to her small cottage, even when his own family had rejected him, Elara had given him something the world had withheld: quietness of acceptance.He took a breath, the heat of the tea anchoring him. It was different. Not perfect—still had within him shards of abandonment, memories of crippling loneliness, of illness—but under control. Improved. Whole. All thanks to her.He saw E

  • Love's Healing Touch    Chapter 57 – The House That Learned to Love Again

    The Lancaster house, once an emblem of pride and sorrow, was now altered—cozier, more relaxed, lived-in. Adrian and Elara's presence had introduced staff to walk less stiffly, laughter that at times trickled through the corridors, and even the thick curtains had been opened to admit more sunlight.Elara had spent the morning in the garden, where late-autumn roses fought for life against the cold. She trimmed dead leaves away softly, not wanting to crush the last flower—deep red and curling over at the edges as if it too held on to love.Behind her, the crunch of footsteps on gravel in the distance announced Adrian's arrival."You'll bring them back again next spring," he exhaled, his arms wrapping around her from behind. "Everything you touch grows."She smiled, leaning back into him. "Not everything. Some things only needed the right season to heal."Adrian nuzzled his lips against her temple. "This house… it's changing because of you.""Because of us," she said softly. "You made the

  • Love's Healing Touch   Chapter 56 – A Place Called Home

    The morning wind carried the first promise of fall, sharp and heavy with loam and the last summer bloom. Elara lingered by the garden entrance, shawl knotted close about her shoulders. The seasons were changing—and with them, something in herself.The creak of the cottage door stood behind her. Adrian emerged, arching back in a stretch, a sleepy grin on his face."Did you sleep?" she asked, watching as he ran a hand through his tousled hair."Bound well enough," he replied, coming to stand at her side. "You were warm. I slept beside you."She smiled quietly. "You always do."They stood shoulder to shoulder, watching a fox couple stroll along the treeline's edge in the distance, tails glinting like rubies of flame in the fog. Elara had named them weeks ago—Ash and Ember. Wild, cautious creatures. Not so unlike Adrian once was.He looked where she did. "You think they'll ever let you get close to them?""Not anytime soon," she said. "But I don't mind waiting."Adrian gazed down at her.

  • Love's Healing Touch    Chapter 55 – Where the Past Softens

    Breeze blew through treetop foliage as Elara stood at the corner of the newly cleared pathway, holding onto the handle of a shovel sheathed in wood. Sunbeams filtered through the tops of leafy branches above, sunny on her back. Adrian approached her with spools of stakes and twine."Care to dig another one today?" he asked, a glint in his eye.She turned to him with a soft smile. "We’re getting close to where the trail splits toward the river."They labored in comfortable quiet, the only noises those of birds, the soft chop of tools into the earth, and their even breathing. Repairing the old trail had become more than a project—it was therapy. It gave them time to speak, or not. To remember, or simply be.They sat for a little while, leaning on a felled log beside the boughs of an ancient oak. Adrian mopped at his brow with his arm, looking at Elara with subdued wonder."You never get tired," he told her."I get tired," she said, holding out a water canteen to him. "I just happen to k

  • Love's Healing Touch    Chapter 54 – Between Two Worlds

    The countryside was aglow with dew from an early dawn morning as Elara pushed the cottage window open, letting the fresh scent of lavender and wet earth into the air. The birds sang in the branches, a gentle chorus of life starting its rhythm. The village itself slept on, oblivious to the quiet miracle occurring over the past weeks: Adrian Lancaster's return — in body, certainly, but in heart, as well.Adrian stood barefoot beside the fence, gently petting the nose of one of Elara's goats who bleated at him lovingly. He chuckled, speaking quietly to the animal as if it were a party to something. The picture softened Elara's heart.It was hard to think of how far they'd traveled. The tormented man she first saw standing by the edge of the woods now smiled. Laughter. Alive.And yet. The change hadn't stopped coming.Adrian was standing outside the cottage, his gaze meeting hers through the open window."Morning," he drawled, in that low, husky voice she'd grown to love.Elara leaned out
