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.

My world revolved around Jax Harding, my older brother's captivating rockstar friend. From sixteen, I adored him; at eighteen, I clung to his casual promise: "When you're 22, maybe I'll settle down." That offhand comment became my life's beacon, guiding every choice, meticulously planning my twenty-second birthday as our destiny. But on that pivotal day in a Lower East Side bar, clutching my gift, my dream exploded. I overheard Jax' s cold voice: "Can't believe Savvy's showing up. She' s still hung up on that stupid thing I said." Then the crushing plot: "We' re gonna tell Savvy I' m engaged to Chloe, maybe even hint she' s pregnant. That should scare her off." My gift, my future, slipped from my numb fingers. I fled into the cold New York rain, devastated by betrayal. Later, Jax introduced Chloe as his "fiancée" while his bandmates mocked my "adorable crush"-he did nothing. As an art installation fell, he saved Chloe, abandoning me to severe injury. In the hospital, he came for "damage control," then shockingly shoved me into a fountain, leaving me to bleed, calling me a "jealous psycho." How could the man I loved, who once saved me, become this cruel and publicly humiliate me? Why was my devotion seen as an annoyance to be brutally extinguished with lies and assault? Was I just a problem, my loyalty met with hatred? I would not be his victim. Injured and betrayed, I made an unshakeable vow: I was done. I blocked his number and everyone connected to him, severing ties. This was not an escape; this was my rebirth. Florence awaited, a new life on my terms, unburdened by broken promises.

Looking at the divorce papers my lips curled up into a mocking smile. 'How big fool I am? How can I think that he will give a chance to this marriage? How can I forget that I was nothing more a tool in his eyes to vent his anger until his beloved Tara is back. Since, she was back, how can he let me stay there?' "After you will sign these papers, you will receive 100 million dollars as alimony." the lawyer added. Because of his words, I came back to my senses took the pen from him, and signed the name. I have also gotten exhausted from this marriage both physically and mentally. Even though I had wanted my child to be born into a complete family, I didn't want my child to have a stepmother and live miserably like me for the rest of his life. After taking the papers from my hand, the lawyer gave me the bank card, turned around, and was about to leave when he paused at the door. He then turned around and added, "Mr. Carter said that he hoped that you won't pester him, or you have to bear the consequences." The lawyer's words were like a knife stabbing in my heart, but I still nodded. Anyway, I also don't plan to have anything to do with him anymore. I just want to live a good life with my children. After the lawyer left, the ward fell into silence. I placed my hand on my belly and said to my children, "Baby, I am sorry, Mommy can't give you a complete family! But I promise you, I will do my best to give the love of both mother and father." 'As for giving one of my child, I will never do that. They are my babies and my alone. I and I will give birth to all of them and raise them no matter what.' Four Years Later... Anya came back to the country with her three kids, to inherit the company left by his grandfather...
