Love after Marriage
Once childhood friends, now reluctant strangers—Lady Clara Valdemont and General Darrell Storm are bound by an arranged marriage meant to unite two feuding houses. Once allies, the Storms and Valdemonts were torn apart by betrayal and bloodshed. Now, the kingdom’s fragile peace rests on the shoulders of a bride and groom who barely speak. As Clara walks down the aisle, memories of the boy who used to tease her and teach her how to fish clash with the man waiting at the altar—stoic, cold, and unreadable. Darrell has not forgotten the past, nor has he forgiven it. Their vows are spoken through clenched teeth, their first kiss a mere brush on the cheek. This is not a love story born of fate—it is one that must fight to be written. In a kingdom of politics, pride, and pain, can two broken hearts learn to beat as one again?

The War Bride Ch 38: I knew nothing
The morning was bright, almost too bright, as if the world had chosen to forget the uneasiness of days before. Spring had fully taken hold, the air soft, the sky a washed blue, and the garden lined with plants no longer dull and filled with life.I stood by the tulip beds, my fingers brushing on the petals the shade of blush and gold. The air felt light and the beauty spring brought soothed me.A bubbling coo of a baby came behind me.I plucked a tulip and turned around.Coral stood there, her hair catching the morning light, her gown paling against the fresh greenery. In her arms, she carried Julian, wrapped in snug white linen. A maid followed close behind, carrying a basket and a blanket draped over her arm.My first instinct was to turn away before she saw me. I wasn't ready, not with Juliane gnawing on my mind, not with confusion curling tighter in my chest everytime she came to my mind.But her gaze was already resting on me.So I smiled. A small, practiced, polite..... anything

I sat there, teacup cooling in my hands, but the taste was lost on me. My mind circled back again and again to the duke's words yesterday, as though they were words imprinted in my mind. I couldn't pry them off.Juliane.A name I had never heard until yesterday. Yet now I held a new secret I had no business holding. Was it a secret even? Coral never mentioned the name. Not once. Her husband was a guilt she held in her heart. Just wistful sighs and half–smiles. To others, he was deceased. And never a brother to a man who now haunted my mind.I tried to read, but the words on the page slipped away. I tried to embroider, but I ended up with a million pricks in the same spot. I gave up and sat by the window, watching the gardens where it had all happened yesterday. The willow still stood there, a witness to it all.Who was lying?The question had made me sleepless. Coral's tears and guilt stricken face, the duke's genuine expression, a rawness he was ashamed to show, .....who was I goi

My steps fell softly over the gravel path, my cloak brushing against the flowering hedges. It was peaceful here, deceptively so. I breathed in deeply letting the warmth of the sun settle over my skin. Just as I rounded the lilac arch, a blur of movement startled me. A wild hare darted across the path, no more than a whisper of fur and muscle. I gasped, frozen for a moment, stunned by it's speed. I didn't know they were so near the residence. The groundsmen should be worried of burrows being dug in his garden. As I was staring at where it dissapeared to, and arrow whistled past my ear, grazing the air with deadly precision before burying itself in the bark of the willow tree just ahead. I screamed, the sound torn from my throat as I stumbled backward and fell hard onto the path, gravel biting into my hands. My heart thundered in my ears and the world started spinning for a second. "Lady Clara!" Boots pounded the ground. The duke appeared in my vision as I blinked up. Bow in hand

The embroidery needle paused between my fingers, hovering over the delicate floral needlework that no longer held my focus. I'd tried all morning to quiet my mind with the meticulous stitch work that my mother once claimed could cure even the most restless soul.But not today. Not when my soul felt like a wound still bleeding and aching.A knock sounded on the door."Come in," I said without looking up.My maid, Lara, stepped in quietly, her hands folded before her apron. "My lady."I nodded, resuming my needlework with feigned calm."I've brought you a fresh pot of tea," she said, setting the tray down on the side table. "And....some honeyed biscuits."I nodded, again.She didn't budge."Thank you, Lara," I said my voice shadowed with tiredness. "Is there anything else?"She hesitated. "Lord Darell and the his grace went out hunting in the southern woods."I didn't reply, but my hands stilled.She then continued, carefully. "I told Lady Coral as you instructed. That you were unwell
