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 had more to say but I held my tongue as we approached a small shack, just next to the house. As we got closer, Albert's smile became bigger. 


Before we could reach the door, it opened to reveal an older man with rich black hair and a kind smile; his eyes were grey and soft. 


"Who do we have here?" He asked, all smiles as all his attention was on Albert. You could see the love he had for Albert clearly in his eyes; father or not, William saw Albert as his son. 


Albert went forward to share a hearty hug with the older man, before he gestured for me to come closer, making William's eyes fall on me for the first time.
