Novel & Cerita A Love Yet To Bloom

Chapter 11 Love As Joe hangs there, half way through the moonhole in the ceiling, with his shoulders in the air garden, his eyes fixed upon the vibrant purple flower glowing serenely in the dim light, he finds himself captivated by its ethereal beauty. Each delicate petal seems to sparkle in harmony with the beautiful serenity of the airgarden, casting a mesmerizing spell upon his senses. The rich hue of the orchid hybred reminds him of Nerissa, its vibrant shade echoing the enchanting presence she holds in his heart.

"But you underestimate her strength and resilience. Bloom deserves respect, dignity, and love, not your twisted games." Liam's laughter filled the room, a cold and heartless sound that sent shivers down Austin's spine. "Love is a fleeting illusion," he scoffed dismissively. "In the end, it's power and control that matter. And I will show Bloom just how powerless she truly is."

I repeated, this time with a scream. Nadia flinched and stopped but quickly camouflaged her expression with a grin. "I am back, Kev. Can we just brush the past aside and start all over again? I still love you and I know you still love me. Right? Babe." She said, trying to appeal to me with a look of pity. I scoffed and shook my head. "It's your confidence for me, Nadia. You must be so delusional to think that I still love you."

As the first hint of light began to touch the eastern horizon, something happened that hadn't happened in ten million years. The *Luna-Bloom*—a rare flower we had brought from the mainland mountains in the early days, a flower that was supposed to bloom only once every millennium—began to open along the railings of the Observatory. One by one, the pale, translucent petals unfurled, releasing a scent that was like rain on dry earth and fresh honey. "Look," I whispered, pointing to the flowers. Leo watched them with a quiet awe. "They’re all blooming at once."

"As proof of the curse, I gave you a mark which you have already seen. In order for the curse to break, you need to find true love. When that person says I love you, then the curse will be broken." How hard could it be to make a woman fall in love with me. “That is simple to accomplish.” I said with pure smugness. She shook her head. "No, it is not that simple. The moment that person loves you then you love them back, you will feel a burning sensation on your mark and it will glow signifying that as true love then the curse will be broken. If it does not, then you will remain immortal until you will find your true love."

Cleansing her, consuming her, practically claiming her without so much as a spoken word between them. If the rings they wore on their fingers like proud royals wear their crowns wasn't enough to let you know what they were to each other - where they stood in marriage, life, love - then the look in their eyes would. It was nearly impossible to miss the love blooming like a garden does in spring right in between them. Sure, it wasn't perfect, wasn't always so pretty - no garden ever was. How could it be? Nothing in nature ever bloomed all year around. But flowers, even in their worst states - dead or picked apart - were nothing short of beautiful, Liviana thought. And so were she and Blaze. In

He told them about the bench where Victoria had sat and talked to ghosts, and the willow tree where Nathaniel had wept when he thought no one was watching. "She planted these roses with her own hands," Daniel said, touching a pink bloom. Its petals were soft and fragrant. "She used to say that love was like a garden—it needed time and patience and care. And if you gave it those things, it would grow into something beautiful." Lily looked at the roses, her eyes wide. "They're so pretty." "They're beautiful," Daniel agreed. "And they bloom every spring, even when no one is watching. That's what love does. It keeps going. It doesn't need an audience. It just needs to be."

" It had been ages since Tristan had given Madeline anything. Hence, he was certain she'd be moved by the gesture. Madeline, however, merely stared at the bouquet. She noticed how the petals had already started to droop, and a bitter laugh caught in her throat. Was she so pathetic that he thought he could humiliate her like this? Tristan hadn't even bought the bouquet for her. It was meant for Regina. She had already seen it in Regina's video earlier. And now, he was handing the flowers to her like he was doing her a favor. Did he really think she was worth nothing more than trash?

The love still there. ---

The netizens jokingly called him a hopeless romantic, and the fans who shipped us were utterly obsessed. But one day, when he was still logged in on his WhatsApp account on the tablet, a woman sent him a message with a video. In the video, the woman was cosplaying as a bunny police officer, and her gaze was suggestive. She was sitting in a kneeling position with her legs spread apart, and both her hands were unfastening the buttons of her shirt, revealing supple skin that seemed eager to break free. "Bunny really misses Benny. I want Benny to do things to me!"
