Racheal's life had always been ordinary. She lived in a quiet, charming house on the outskirts of the city, working as a librarian in a small but cozy library. Her days consisted of organizing books, assisting patrons, and occasionally dreaming of a life more exciting than the pages she read. She had never craved luxury or wealth; content with the simple things, she had always believed love would find her in the same gentle, unobtrusive way.
But everything changed the day she met Francis Blackwood.
Francis stood at the door of the library like a figure from a story-tall, commanding, his black suit cutting through the mundane setting like a blade. His piercing gaze swept across the room, instantly making every head turn, but it was the sudden stop in his stride when their eyes met that made Racheal's heart skip. There was an intensity in his look, as if the world outside didn't matter as long as he was focused on her.
She was certain he was lost, perhaps seeking a book. It wasn't unusual for wealthy individuals to visit, though none had ever commanded the room quite like him. She hesitated before walking toward him.
"Can I help you with something, sir?" Her voice came out softer than she intended, a nervous tremor betraying her calm exterior.
His eyes lingered on her face for a moment longer than necessary. "I'm looking for something... or rather someone."
Racheal blinked, taken aback by his cryptic words. "I'm afraid I don't understand."
He stepped closer, his presence overwhelming, making it impossible for her to look away. "You," he said, his tone unwavering. "I've been searching for you."
Confusion twisted in her stomach. "I'm not sure what you mean."
"I'm Francis Blackwood." He offered his hand, and despite the shock running through her, she shook it. "And you are about to become my wife."
The words hit her like a thunderclap, leaving her speechless.
