Twilight- The light of Life

Palvinderkaur
When Kiera Hart moved to the gloomy town of Crescent Falls to start her life anew, she never expected it would nearly end before it began. A sudden car crash landed her in the hospital, unconscious and broken. Somewhere between the blur of sirens and the sting of pain, she slipped into darkness—until a voice cut through it. "Everyone out. I'll take it from here." The man who entered the operating room was no ordinary doctor. Dr. Lucian Vale, the youngest surgical prodigy in the region, carried an air of command that no one dared challenge. Some envied him. Others worshipped him. No one understood him. He approached her still form, eyes glinting with something beyond science—something ancient. With a soft whisper, he murmured, "My wife... At last, I've found you." Then, with deliberate resolve, he bit into his own wrist. Crimson blood flowed, and he tilted her head gently, letting a single drop fall into her parted lips. The effect was immediate. Kiera's body arched in pain as ice spread through her veins like fire in reverse. She felt everything—her organs freezing, her senses shattering. Then, just as suddenly, she blacked out. When she awoke, she was in a hospital bed, bandaged and gasping for breath. Her skin tingled unnaturally. Her heart beat differently. And her mind swirled with a dream too real to forget. Was that just a hallucination... or did something truly happen to me? A voice interrupted her thoughts. "Hello, Ms. Hart. How are you feeling?" She turned—and froze. It was him. The man from her dream. The one with the impossible eyes. Her heart skipped. How is he real?

The Duke’s Bargain

“What did you say?” Félix asked. She repeated, “Name your price.” “What is that supposed to mean?” His voice had tapered off with an unreadable emotion that got her weak in her knees, but she held out her chin. “Didn't you once offer to pay me off? Now, make me an offer I cannot refuse. Otherwise, I will go in there"—she gestured toward the Ball—"and make everyone think you dragged me out here to take advantage of me. I know exactly what that would do to your reputation.” “Say. That. Again,” Félix said through gritted teeth as he inched closer to her. ====================== She hadn’t meant to upset him or, worse, blackmail him. She didn’t even know who he was; she only knew he looked important because of how regally he stood in the moonlit dark. Estella was the baron of Cleverdale’s youngest, born into a hard life and always kept on her toes. Her stepsisters hated her. The baroness loathed her. And her father, the only one she called family, shattered her heart when he sold her to Viscount Alistair Ravensdale to cover up his misdeeds. The night of Lady Agatha’s ball, she seized her chance and ran straight into … Duke Félix of Chateaûbriant. In the dark, he mistook her for Princess Coralie, his fiancée, and kissed her. When the moon revealed her face, something about her stuck with him. He couldn’t shake the image of her running wildly or how she smelled like white lotus with hardcore roots. But when she threatened his reputation, he refused to play along. She returned to her world of cruel sisters and an unwanted engagement. What she hadn’t prepared for was the Duke arriving at her doorstep, making two outrageous claims. One. He was the Duke of Chateaûbriant. And two. She had stolen something valuable from him that night. What had she stolen without knowing it? Or worse, what could he possibly demand as repayment? ✯Like it? Add to Library!
