She is whisked off by a total stranger and with no hope of getting her old life back or the man of her dreams.

Part Two: Alexa
Given a second chance at getting a good life, Alexa just has one thing in mind, to live life to its fullest. But what happens when something... or someone else occupies her mind.

The Maidens (Crutoe Sisters)

I remained in my prison for six days, only letting in Eliza and Arthur. After the third day and I grew tired of the boredom but still so stubborn to leave my room, I asked Eliza to get me things for sewing, I needed to make presents for the children since it would be New Year soon; so I thought of making a doll for Maya, not that it could compare to the ones she had or that a gift from me was necessary... And for the boys, I planned to make bow ties for them. 


Now, I was done making the bow ties and was still on Maya's doll... Sitting and sewing alone in my room on New Year's Eve; not that I didn't miss being with everyone, but I wanted to stay away until I decide on what to do. It was painful, crying myself to sleep every night and always wondering Julien was... 


A knock on the door jolted me away from my thoughts, it was either Arthur or Eliza, so I asked whoever it was to come in. 


"My Lady!" Hailey grinned at me with mock curtsey. Hailey! I've been dying to see her.
