LOGINRaised in her father's gang, the young gypsy Emma Ferguson was persecuted all her life by the puritanical society of the 19th century, yet she never felt completely part of the Romani group. Vivacious and intelligent, the beautiful Emma only wished to find her true self and live the experiences she had been denied over the 20 years of her life, when an unsuccessful performance made her worst nightmares come true in that cursed Scottish town. Emma only survives all this with the help of the handsome British gentleman, Henry Dashwood, whom she met during the fateful performance, and when he rescues her from the roadside, she begins a new and dangerous journey. In a society where gypsy origin is considered worthy of capital punishment, Henry has decided to help Emma get back on her feet, and hatches a plan that could be the salvation or ruin of them both.

Entering the dining and making my presence known, my eyes locked with the girl and I swore I felt my heart beat for a second, I haven't even experienced that in my lifetime at all, my chest rose and fall in want, want for the girl, I don't even care whether anyone was looking at me that moment, all I care was here, she is damn gorgeous, now that I'm looking at her up close I swore 'Grey eyes?, so rare' lust appeared in my eye but disappeared immediately, I noticed her shift on her seat and her cheeks tainted red making me smirk but it was hidden from any eyes.As I sat down, I noticed a stare from someone, I saw my mom giving me a knowing glare making me smile, sometimes I wondered how my mom would look pretty and innocent but at the same time so dangerous that she would know even the hintest of things that were almost impossible to see or know, I smiled at her not caring what she was warning me about."You are Emma," I said not asking "Yeah" she practically moan and I swore my dick jumped twitching, I chuckled, this chemistry between us is so intense and one of a kind, no girl has ever affected me before, they are even the one getting obsessed with me and some suffered mentally and became stockers when their obsession got out of hand to the extent that they would kill anyone that made interaction with me, it was one of the reasons I don't normally appear in public, my looks have done more harm than good.FlashbackEmma's POV"I now announce you husband and wife!" the marriage officiant declared and I was temporarily deafened by the shouts and cheers coming from the crowd, my husband Jose pulled me once more into a kiss on the stage not caring about the people down, another wave of cheers resounded as we sensually kissed, he bites on my lower lips and I moan giving him the cue to dive his tongue in, he savored my mouth thoroughly without staring a glance at the marriage officiant who was still looking at us with a weird emotion on his eyes, especially when he was looking at me, lips to be precise, but I don't give two fucks, I moaned again when Jose started to fuck my mouth with his tongue, but he made it hidden to the crowd whilst leaving the officiant to see everything because, for the people not to see it, we have to turn slightly to the officiant.My husband's blond hair was originally pushed back but because of our earlier connection it was haggard but it didn't diminish his handsome face, after some moment he stopped and his blue eyes met my grey ones, was handsome, but what got our attention more was the people, there weren't anymore shout or cheers as they looked at us, but one thing was not hidden though, their eyes told something, 'Did we overdo it?' I asked myself but chose to forget it when Jose brought me back to reality, it took his arm and we stepped down from the stage to the people, a smile never leaving my face."Oh My God!!!, I can't believe that you are a married girl!" shrieked my best friend happily as she ran my way, I removed my hand from Jose to catch the girl before she embarrass herself here by falling 'face first', I chuckled at my thought, but it would be embarrassing because everyone that came here are all high classes in the society, whilst Jose left to meet some of his friends on the other side, "Fuck you Nancy for shrieking like that, what if you have made your future husband in the crowd change his mind and marry someone else that at least doesn't shriek you do" I joked and reprimanded her but the beautiful girl just pouted and waved what just I said off."I told you, Emma, that I would be the one to whom I get married and not the other way around feigned anger at the words and added "Besides I don't know why you married this early, I mean we are still young, young, if you understand what I mean right?, I can't even imagine myself getting married at this age" she said but I didn't retort because I knew it was true.IMe and Nancare known as the twin gorgeous in our business cycle, she works for me as an ML assistant and manager too, and it was convenient for me because she has saved my life business' you know, many times that I was out of the country, as my best friend as well as manager she ran the companies smoothly like the professional she was, I can't imagine myself having a separate personal assistant and manager causing chaos to my company."You don't have to talk like that Nancy, know that I love Jose, and no one would say that we married this early because I forced him to, because of his family wealth because almost everyone in the business cycle will know that I don't need a support,r," I said, my long black hair slightly waving revealing my milky neck and skin and I can imagine many male gulping from the sight."Then why did I marry him early?" she asked and I heaved a sigh, why was I even answering her question in the first place?, of course, it was because I love the handsome male, but before I was about to reply she added again and this time angry because I can feel it, I know when she gets angry "Then why?" she asked, she is not angry at Jose or me, but she was angry that what we usually do best friends will start to change, she doesn't want that."Nancy calm down, know that we have been dating for a year and d half now, and I love him, and then he proposed, I mean if I will end up marrying him later, why not marry him now?" I said trying to sound reasonable but she scoffed "This is the lamest excuse I have heard from you since we got to know each other, er" she said, but no more as angry as she was, I laughed lightly and hugethee girl, well, calling her 'girl' is somehow weird from the fact that we are both the same age.My mind dived back to what she asked me earlier, I know that my answer was so lame, I mean, who does that? but why did you marry him without even giving it much thought, it's not an attribute of someone who has built two companies of her own in business, so why?HenryI didn’t wait for a response, striding quickly toward Emma and taking her into my arms. Harriet stood up immediately, following close behind.“Henry?” Emma murmured uncertainly, struggling to focus her gaze on me.“Go quickly. I’ll handle these men,” George instructed, motioning toward two young gypsies restrained in a corner alongside the men accompanying Gillies.I pushed my way through the crowd, Harriet trailing close behind. Finally, I could take in the extent of the damage done to Emma. Dried blood stained the right corner of her mouth, and a series of bruises had already begun to form across that side of her face.“Henry…” she blinked, disoriented, wincing in pain.“Don’t try to speak,” I urged, carrying her toward my horse. “I’m here. You’ll be alright.”“No… you can’t…”“Emma, if I place you on the horse, can you manage to stay seated while I mount?” I asked, worry etched into my voice.“Mount first,” Willian Burkhart interjected, stepping closer. He must have arrived at
Henry I was trying to concentrate on the letter I was answering while I waited for Mr. Martin, one of the local farmers who had arranged a meeting with me, but my mind kept returning to Emma. I should have insisted on accompanying her, even if I had to take Christopher and Kitty with us.I gave up what I was doing and started pacing back and forth in my living room. Why am I so bothered by this? Emma's right, Dyrham Park isn't far away, she must be with Georgiana by now.Perhaps I should go there, just to make sure everything is all right. Mr. Martin arrived for our meeting, forcing me to take my mind off Emma and devote my attention to the man in front of me. I tried my best to listen to his plans for expanding his farm, but I couldn't concentrate.As soon as he leaves here, I'll go to Dyrham Park, I won't let you go back to Casterly Park alone. I don't understand what's going on, but I feel something is wrong.A knock on the door echoed through the room, before Christopher opened
EmmaI took a few shaky steps back.He was dead, what's going on?" Emma " He held my arms, assessing me " It's really you!" No... You're dead! " I exclaimed, trying to get free." I'm not dead. I managed to escape " he gasped " I wasn't the only one." What? " I repeated, blinking dazedly " Others survived?" What happened to you? " “We've been following you since Melrose. Lash saw you get into a carriage, but it took us a while to find out where you ended up.I couldn't answer. I continued to stare at him in confusion and disbelief. Was Lash alive too? How many survived?" Why are you dressed like that? " He grimaced." I live here now " I recovered my voice " Two gentlemen helped me escape and sheltered me." Sheltered you? " He growled " Are you living among the Gadjikanes¹?" I'm alive,” I retorted." “Good, then you can come with me,” he replied in a dangerous tone.Go away? Go back to being a gypsy, he meant? Could I do that? And Henry, would I leave him behind?" I can't " I
EmmaWe left the house, walking through the gardens until we reached a secluded spot at the back of the property. When she saw that we were indeed alone, she sat down on a bench, urging me to do the same.I waited for her to say something, feeling a little anxious." Ms. Ferguson, we need..." I'm sorry " I interrupted her." “Wait for me to say what I want before you apologize, Emma.” She held back a smile." Yes, ma'am. " I bit my lip." You must have realized by now that Henry told me everything. " She took a deep breath " What you did was very serious and irresponsible!" Yes, I know..." You could have lost everything, Mrs. Ferguson " she continued, causing me to laugh nervously. Lost everything? As if I had much to lose. " Did I say something funny?" I have nothing left to lose, Mrs. Dashwood " I looked away " I have no family, no fortune, and that's the least damage to my reputation if they find out where I came from. " “I'm aware of your situation, Emma,” she assured me, “bu
EmmaAs much as Henry says my essence hasn't changed, that's not how I see it. This dance was proof of that, I had fun! I had fun when I shouldn't have, that tambourine was a part of me that I had been ignoring for a long time, suffocating it day by day.I moved it gently, listening to the sound it ma
HenryI ran towards the stairs, seeing Emma finishing climbing them with determined steps. I hurried my pace in an attempt to catch up with her, and I succeeded as we reached the door to her room, preventing her from closing it. I entered, closing the door behind me, while Emma went to the window, de
Emma I felt a little reluctant to follow Ms. Crawford. What gave me some comfort was knowing that Henry would be back the next day. But I couldn't help feeling out of place in that house. Why does a single family need so much space? My whole old gang could live comfortably in this place. "How do you
Emma "Ohhh... I'll go... "Mr. Thorpe looked disconcerted "I'll find a place for your bag."Sorry "I turned away immediately when I heard the door close.Don't forget that you're no longer with your family, Emma."It's all right "he looked away."That was completely inappropriate "I continued "Forgive me
