The Unsought Mate

[WARNING: MATURE CONTENT]

Gardenia was once the apple of her father's eye; a cherished gem within the soft confines of their mansion. However, her existence unexpectedly twisted into a tragic tale—a tragedy she could never wish upon even her greatest enemy.

Forced to live in her own home as if she were a mere servant, her stepmother's scorn and stepsister's jeers became her daily lullabies.

Her once-loving father turned a blind eye to her plight, his silence echoing louder than any words of comfort.

The cruel twist of fate was unbearable and the constant torment led to the ultimate consequence.

Life seemed to have exhausted its quota of misery for Gardenia. However, the cosmos had one more cruel trick up its celestial sleeve, as the silver lining she had been pining for after the storm proved to be an even more devastating blow.

----- "I'm sorry, Gard, but it never happened." He stood up, exposing the entire length of his naked body, except for his groin, which was concealed by the drawstring pants around his inviting waist.

We did something. But now… now he simply stated that it never happened?

Was this the same man who blessed my ears with lovely words and promised me a lifetime of care in his arms?

How come he changed so quickly and denied everything right in front of me?
