The Duke’s Secret
Category: Romance
She had learned long ago not to trust promises.
Some doors, once opened, can never be closed again.
The market was bustling with merchants, their voices a chorus of bargains and boasts.
It was the kind of night when secrets refused to stay buried.
She had not expected to see him again, not after all these years.
The sword was heavier than she expected, but she did not lower it.
She smiled, but it did not reach her eyes.
A knock at the door changed everything.
The end.
