A fantasy drama about Emelda and Franklin.

Chapter 1 The Hidden Library

Once upon a time, nestled within the bustling streets of a bustling city, there existed a hidden gem known only to a select few-an ancient library steeped in mystery and forgotten by time. Its grand façade was obscured by overgrown ivy and its windows obscured by thick curtains, leaving it unnoticed by all but the most discerning eye. This was a place where the whispers of the past mingled with the scent of old books, where secrets lay hidden within the dusty tomes that lined its shelves.

It was here, amidst the musty scent of parchment and ink, that Franklin first laid eyes on Emelda. She stood before a towering bookshelf, her fingers trailing reverently over the spines of the ancient tomes as she lost herself in their tales. Her eyes sparkled with curiosity, and Franklin found himself drawn to her like a moth to a flame.

Clearing his throat nervously, Franklin approached her, his heart pounding in his chest. "Excuse me," he began, his voice barely above a whisper. "Are you looking for something in particular?"

Startled, Emelda turned to face him, her eyes widening in surprise. "Oh, I didn't see you there," she exclaimed, a smile playing at the corners of her lips. "I'm just browsing, trying to find something to pique my interest."

Franklin nodded, a sense of relief flooding through him. "I know just the book," he said eagerly, gesturing towards a nearby shelf. "Follow me."

And so, side by side, they wandered through the labyrinthine aisles of the hidden library, lost in conversation as they exchanged stories of their favorite books and authors. With each passing moment, Franklin found himself falling deeper under Emelda's spell, enchanted by her quick wit and infectious laughter.

As they reached the end of a narrow corridor, Franklin paused before a weathered bookshelf, his eyes scanning the titles in search of the perfect book. And then, as if by magic, his gaze fell upon a dusty tome tucked away in a corner, its faded cover adorned with intricate designs.

"This," he declared, holding the book aloft for Emelda to see. "This is the one."

Emelda's eyes lit up with excitement as she reached out to take the book from Franklin's hands. "What is it?" she asked, her curiosity piqued.

"It's a collection of ancient myths and legends," Franklin explained, his voice barely above a whisper. "Stories of heroes and villains, of love and betrayal. It's said to hold the key to unlocking the secrets of the hidden library."

Emelda's breath caught in her throat as she flipped through the pages of the ancient tome, her fingers tracing the faded ink as she lost herself in its tales. "This is incredible," she breathed, her eyes shining with wonder. "Thank you, Franklin."

And in that moment, as they stood together in the heart of the hidden library, Franklin knew that he had found something far more precious than any book-a kindred spirit, a fellow adventurer, and perhaps, if he dared to hope, a friend.

As they wandered back towards the entrance of the library, Franklin and Emelda exchanged promises to return and explore its depths further. And as they stepped out into the bustling streets of the city, hand in hand, Franklin couldn't help but feel that their journey was only just beginning. For in the hidden library, amidst the dusty tomes and forgotten tales, he had found not only a friend, but a treasure far more precious than any jewel.

Together, they would embark on a journey filled with adventure, magic, and wonder, their love guiding them every step of the way. For Franklin and Emelda, the hidden library was just the beginning of a new chapter in their lives, a chapter filled with excitement, discovery, and the boundless power of love.

He has all the traits that you wished for your dream man to have. Power, money, perfection, handsomeness and a body like a Greek God. But he's inlove. He's inlove with her. For him, she was the completion of his dream, a perfect wife and a mother to be with his children. He would give her everything including his own life. He would sacrifice his world for her. But she left him. She betrayed him. She broke his heart into pieces. And he turned into a cold, heartless, rude and an arrogant billionaire, who would do everything to show her that she's no longer important into his life. Even though the truth is the opposite of what he is doing. His heart still aching for her. And that's when he met me. I applied as his Personal Assistant to fulfill my bucket list of dreams. To explore my life and experience everything. He offered me a deal. He asked me to marry him just to show his ex that he already moved on. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "She's pregnant." He blurted out and i almost stumbled on where i am standing. I just gripped the backrest of the couch to support my weight. The pain creeping in my heart is unbearable but i managed to stay calm. "Wow! Congratulations!" I said faking my excitement as i remembered him saying... -cheating would not be the reason to break our marriage- of course i couldn't accuse him of this as 'cheating' because she was the real reason why we are pretending as a couple. He still love her. He's still inlove with her. And that's when i made the biggest decision in my life. Taking all my strength and a piece of my heart that still hanging on a thin rope... I left him. Taking also my biggest secret in me... that i've already fallen inlove with him. And somehow i learned a lesson; 'Loving someone who doesn't love you back isn't as hard as loving someone who still inlove with his ex and who only uses you to get her back again into his life..'
