The Lady Awaits A Broken Engagement Novels & Stories

she said, looking at me with a sorry look on her face. I pulled my head away from the lady who was trying to style, my heart thundering in my chest, “What is wrong? Is everything fine?” She smiled, “Yes, I forgot that we have something to attend to first before coming for the evening engagement,” she said in a soft voice, her eyes staring at me with pity in them. “Oh,” I whispered in a deflated tone, I couldn’t even hide the disappointment in my tone. I had accepted this all in the hopes that I would be with her all through the night.

The next morning, I comforted Sylvan, who was once again upset because his father didn't join us for breakfast. As I was doing so, a familiar, irritating knock came at the door. "The elders want to see you in the council hall." Before Kaelen and Lydia's affair started, the servants would still call me "Lady Violetta". But now, everything had changed. My place in the Grayswood Pack had become unclear. Even the lowest omega now looked down on me.

A week had passed since Lila first set foot in the Harrington manor, and already, the enormity of her responsibilities had begun to weigh on her. As Lady Victoria Harrington’s new lady-in-waiting, she was expected to cater to every whim, no matter how trivial or demanding. Victoria was a woman of impeccable taste but little patience, and her disdain for those beneath her social class was palpable. Lila had quickly learned that any misstep, no matter how small, could lead to swift and merciless retribution.

a soft voice woke me up from my deep thoughts. I lifted my head to look at the standing woman in front of me. In her hands is a plate of sliced oranges. She tilted her head slightly. “Are you okay?” she asked. My lips curved into a playful smirk. “Just horny.” “AIDEN!!!” ***** [In the middle of nowhere] (Author's POV) The news of Lady Charlotte's exile and Aiden's injury reached Dianne's ears like a sweet melody. A sly smile curled on her lips, her eyes gleaming with an avarice that had long buried beneath the surface. The opportunity she had been waiting for had finally arrived.

Lord Nedes asked. "I was waiting for you." Lord Nedes rubbed lady Blaine's hair lovingly and brought her to sit on the couch beside him. "Did you have a meal?" "We can eat together later. How did the court go?" "Well I talked with his highness and he postponed the engagement later until he wants it." Lady Blaine showed an aggrieved expression and said, "How much longer? I have waited for all this time. How much does his highness want me to wait?"

The young aristocratic woman sat in her usual booth at 'Mrs Marcy's tea shop', where she had been hours earlier. She gestured at the waitress and asked for her usual, as soon as she was gone she looked out the window seeing a thousand people going on with their day and as she looked she lost herself in thought. Her mind wandered to the crime scene and Lord Reignalds body, and how two sharp holes in his neck were vexing her, as to the nature of their existence.

I almost choked on my food as Hardy’s fingers gently brushed against my face, tucking invisible strands of my hair. I was shaking, maybe not entirely because Hardy’s rough and hard hand on my face was nerve-wracking, but because everyone’s eyes were on us. "Oh,” the lady said. Who knew Hardy was this showy? “Not from me,” the lady began. "Not from me, but I heard around. I know it’s sweet and all. I love how you love Joanne."The lady paused to catch her breath, tucking her blond hair away. “I heard from the party earlier that Joanne might be Lisa’s rebound. I mean, you both got engaged a month after Lisa’s de-

She beat Kim though because her engagement only lasted 72 hours. “How are you feeling?” Anthony asked. His eyes looked genuinely worried. Audrey paused for a moment before answering. This was a loaded question. She couldn’t say she was fine, because let’s be honest, she wasn’t fine. Breaking off an engagement was one thing, but getting over the Vanderbilt brothers was another thing. Audrey’s chest still twisted and ached every time she thought about Caspian or Killian. Every night she still cried herself to sleep, wishing they were next to her, hugging her tightly. And though she was outside on this warm New York day, her heart felt cold and empty.

"Angus, you have to understand... If it weren't for... I really want to marry you, but my mother's threatening to disown me. I can't go against her wishes." Liesa couldn't help but smirk. “A melodramatic love triangle? Now this is getting interesting.” She continued on, careful to stay quiet. "Take her out," Angus's cold voice commanded. "Wait! I'm not done yet!" The woman's voice cracked as she looked at him, her eyes filled with desperation and tears. From Liesa's spot in the hallway, the woman appeared fragile, playing the part of an innocent damsel in distress. "Even though I'm engaged to Silas Romano, I'll always keep a place for you in my heart. If one day—" Her voice trailed off in a

It was completely destroyed. The woman stomped on my fingers, and I gasped at the sharp pain. "You're the cheap woman engaged to Kylo, aren't you? Dressed up like that, who exactly are you trying to impress?" I looked up sharply, instantly understanding what was happening. This was Kylo Winston's childhood friend, Nora Cullen. Before returning home, I investigated the two of them. Marriage required caution, after all. When I discovered their affair, I decided to come back in person and call off the engagement.
