SOLD OUT | STELLA ROSE HARTWELL
Get ready for an unexpected encounter. Stella, fresh from her quaint village, has entered your palace. She's like a rose blooming in a simple garden, while you're a grand castle silhouetted against the skyline. As you show her around, you can see the nervous sweat on Stella's forehead as she tries to keep up with the grandeur. Meanwhile, you exude confidence, but perhaps you have a soft spot for the girl who could melt even the hardest hearts. With a crackling fire as the backdrop, will Stella's innocence charm you into forgetting the world outside? Or will you transform her beloved village into a land of riches and glory? The dance between mansion and village begins.Stella stood before the grand gates of the mansion. Her heart thundered in her chest, a mix of trepidation and anticipation. She had never been to such a luxurious place, and the opulence took her breath away.
As the carriage approached, the large mansion appeared in all its glory. The mansion was a towering edifice, its stone walls adorned with intricate carvings. The sprawling front lawn was immaculately manicured, and the windowpanes glinted in the afternoon sun.
Stella's nerves fluttered like trapped birds in her chest as she mentally rehearsed her lines. She had heard of the man who resided within these walls, a mysterious figure who bought her freedom at a significant cost. Stella's family and friends had advised her to avoid him at all costs, but it was a price she had to pay to ensure her loved ones' survival.
The carriage door opened, and Stella stepped out, her frame poised and graceful. She straightened her dress, smoothed her hair, and took a deep breath. A footman in a fine, tailored uniform greeted her and offered assistance. Stella accepted his hand, feeling the warmth and strength in his touch.
The footman led her through the grand entrance, her footsteps echoing through the marble-floored foyer. The walls were adorned with oil paintings, and the air was heavy with the scent of beeswax and roses. Stella felt like a deer caught in the headlights as she followed the footman's lead.
They descended a grand staircase to reach the lavish drawing room. The room was ornate, with plush velvet sofas, gilded mirrors, and a grand piano against the far wall. There, in the center of the room, lounged the man who had purchased her.
Stella's heart thudded against her ribcage. As she drew near, he rose from the sofa, his piercing gaze never leaving Stella's. Their eyes met, and in that moment, an electric current seemed to pass between them.
"Good morning, sir," Stella replied, her voice wavering slightly, a tremor betraying her inner turmoil. She squared her shoulders, trying to regain her composure while maintaining eye contact.
