Chapter 1 1

My best and only friend, Margot stood outside my home waiting for me. We talked about visiting the baker to get fresh loaves of bread, and I didn't know she would be here this early.

I grabbed my bag from the nail and rushed out of my room forgetting to lock its doors. Well, I don't have to worry. It's just me and my Aunt Kiara, living here.

"Aunt, I'll be in the bakery," I yelled, not waiting for her reply before running out the door to meet an already pissed-off Margot.

"Hey, I'm sorry I woke up late and I had to help my aunt in the garden before leaving. Can you smile now?" I held her face so close to mine and she had no option but to smile.

"I'm still angry at you, what if we get to the bakery late and don't get fresh hot bread?" Margot pulled away from me, and I nodded, her question lingering in my mind. It'd be my fault if that happened.

"Let's look on the bright side, what if we get to the bakery and we are the first to be served? What then?" I smiled at Margot.

"Oh, Oceania, this is not a joke. I want to see James also, it's been a while. Seems he's avoiding me," Margot frowned. Margot loved calling me Oceania, and I was used to that. Well, the only people allowed to call me that were my Aunt, and Margot. To others, I'm Ocean and wouldn't take it lightly with anyone calling me my full name.

"Are you listening to me?" Margot asked, I nodded. We were almost at the bakery and could get the scent and aroma of the already baked fresh bread. But that wasn't my main focus,

Our village had the best bakers in town and so, kingdoms from far and near, came to Lilach to get bread and pastries. As we approached the bakery, Margot spotted James and she left me to meet him.

James and Margot were betrothed to each other as kids. Neither of their families was rich so I figured out, the alliance was perfect. I didn't tell Margot that of course. James worked in the bakery as an assistant, he planned on setting up his bakery once he had enough money. So, he and Margot were saving up for it.

With Margot gone, I was alone now, staring around the bakery. I found a bench to sit on, I had to wait here until Margot came so we'd get our orders and head home.

My name is Oceania and I am a very pretty girl, blonde curls cascading down my body, and I had sparkly blue eyes that shone like the bright sky, or like an Ocean, my aunt had said.

I've never known much about my mum, all I can remember is growing up with my Aunt Kiara in Lilach, our small village. My Aunt told me Mum died while giving birth to me. It's been 19 years, and I don't feel as much pain as I used to when I was younger.

I just take the present into control. I had my beautiful Aunt, and Margot of course, she was 25 and I was 19. But we were best friends and did everything together. Margot was always so mature, while I'm immature according to my Aunt.

I was so immersed in my world, thinking about the past that I didn't notice Margot was already seated by my side.

"What is she thinking about?" Margot's voice brought me back to the present.

"Hey, you scared me," I muttered under my breath. Margot looked happy and I was curious to know the reason behind her sudden smiles.

"You're glowing Margot, tell me... What did James say to you?" I asked her teasingly with a smirk, Margot blushed, and her gaze shifted from me to the bench.

"James has finalized the building of his bakery. And it's a surprise though so don't leak it okay? You're my best friend that's why I'm telling you this." Margot smiled.

"Wow, congratulations Margot. Now I can get free pastries from Margot and James' bakery... Isn't that amazing?" I squealed in excitement.

"What? Free? I never said so," Margot teased and I hit her hands playfully rolling my eyes with a frown on my face. We sat outside the bakery, munching on fresh bread and cheese and watched the villagers bustling about, going about their daily business.

"Did you hear about the new blacksmith in town?" Margot suddenly asked, her eyes sparkling. Margot's eyes always sparkled whenever she got a new gossip.

"No, what's the scope?" I replied, I wasn't even interested but had to act curious to not hurt her feelings.

"He's handsome, single, and from the city!" Margot whispered. "I heard he's looking for a wife."

I giggled. "Well, he's come to the right place. Our village is full of eligible maidens."

Margot playfully rolled her eyes. "You're one of them, Oceania! You should go talk to him."

I blushed. "Margot, I'm not interested in marriage right now. I have too many other things on my mind."

Margot raised an eyebrow. "Like what? You're always so mysterious, Oceania."

I smiled mischievously. "Let's just say I have big dreams, Margot. Big dreams."

"Like getting married to a handsome prince and living in luxury? Oceania, you read too many fantasy novels. A prince can't come to a village searching for a wife. It's only in novels." Margot said to me.

"A miracle can happen," I grinned. Like I've been waiting for my prince charming. I have this dream of sleeping and waking up in a beautiful palace, with maids and servants at my beck and call, getting married to a prince...

"Oceania, you're almost 20, you need to..." As Margot talked, the village elder, Old Man Thorne, walked by and tipped his hat. "Good morning, young ladies. Enjoying the fine day, I see."

Margot and I curtsied. "Good morning, Old Man Thorne. Indeed we are," I replied.

"Back to what I was saying..."

"Margot, it's noon. Aunt Kiara has to pack the eggs so she can get to the market right on time, I'm leaving." I said to Margot and ran off.

I'm a moaning mess as Antonio slams into me from behind. His hips hit me hard, and each deep thrust sends shockwaves through my body. My breasts bounce with every movement, my eyes roll back, and I moan his name without control. The pleasure he gives me is overwhelming-I can't hold it in. I feel my walls tighten around his thick length. The pressure builds fast, and then- I explode around him, my orgasm tearing through me. He groans loud and deep as he releases inside me, his hot seed spilling into me in thick pulses. Just when I think he's done, his grip shifts. He turns me over and lays me flat on the bed. His dark eyes stare into mine for a moment, filled with raw hunger. I glance down- He's still hard. Before I can react, he grabs my wrists, pins me down, and pushes himself inside me again. He fills me completely. My hips rise on instinct, meeting his rhythm. Our bodies move together, locked in a wild, uncontrollable dance. "You're fucking sweet," he groans, his voice rough and breathless. "I can't get enough of you... not after that night, Sol," he growls, slamming into me harder. The force of his words and his thrusts make my body shake. "Come for me," he commands, his voice low and full of heat. And just like that, my body trembles. Waves of pleasure crash over me. I cry out, shaking with the force of my orgasm. "Mine," he growls again, louder this time. His voice is feral, wild, like a beast claiming what belongs to him. The sound sends a shiver down my spine. *** Solene was betrayed, humiliated, and erased by Rowan Brook, the man she once called husband, Solene is left with nothing but her name and a burning hunger for revenge.
