My Gentle CEO

And it came to pass in the house of Waverly that the daughter, Elara, was given into the hands of strangers. For her kin despised her, and her father, seeking gold for Waverly Biotech, sold her beauty as one sells grain in the market. And though her heart was tender, and her spirit unblemished, she was clothed with shame and set apart for a destiny not her own. And Lady Calbourne, desiring a charm to preserve the house of Ashridge, called for a bride to be offered unto Thorne, called Lord Ashridge, whose name was as terror in Duskmoor City and whose deeds were spoken of in whispers across Elarion. For he was a man of blood, and many fled at the sound of his name. And Elara, though trembling, spake softly with a tongue touched by sorrow, saying, “I will submit.” For the hand of Old Marnie pressed her, and her innocence was laid bare. Yet lo, a voice came from without, crying, “Hasten unto Ebonreach, for the lord draweth near to death!” And the hour of judgment was delayed, and Elara’s fate was sealed in silence.
