His Desired Love
Flora Carlice, overshadowed by her 'perfect' supermodel sister Isabella, yearns for recognition beyond her family's neglect. When a chance encounter with the enigmatic, impossibly handsome Ian sparks an unexpected connection, Flora finds herself drawn into a world where she's seen, truly seen, for the first time. But who is Ian, really? And can their blossoming connection survive the secrets and societal expectations that threaten to pull them apart?The mirror reflected Flora, not Isabella. Brown hair, green eyes, a simple bun, and a red gown. She looked pretty, she thought, not perfect, not like Isabella, who now gasped, "God Flora, you sure are looking hot."
Isabella, a Greek goddess in blue, continued with a laugh, "but not as much as me of course." Flora just nodded, a familiar ache in her chest. Their parents, as usual, were absent, caught up in "urgent meetings."
At the mansion party, Isabella vanished into her social circle, leaving Flora to her usual state of near invisibility. Then, she spotted them: cupcakes. Her sweet tooth, a constant companion, led her to them, and she moaned softly at the taste, a small, private moment of joy.
"Miss, can I have a dance please?" The voice was a low rumble, the man a vision of messy black hair, sharp jawline, and deep blue eyes. Greek god, she thought. But was he blind? Isabella was right behind him. Yet, he chose her. A strange, happy warmth spread through Flora as she beamed, "Sure."
