Madeline Rose had only ever worked in her father's local blacksmith shop and occasionally helped her mother at the farm. Her skin had become tanned from the hot sun, but despite all of this, she did not complain. Even though she didn't come from a wealthy home, she was content. 



However, her life turned upside down when she stumbled upon a darkness that refused to leave her alone. 




There was him, a man cloaked in mystery and malice, a presence that sent chills down her spine. His eyes, shrouded in shadows, held a depth of darkness that seemed to swallow the light around him. 





When their paths crossed, Madeline felt a cold dread wash over her, as if she had invited a malevolent force into her world.

The Devil's Embrace

Hyacinth and Madeline blinked at each other before their gaze traveled to their sister's departing back.

"Has your sister gone mad? Is she now friends with Madeline?" Mrs. Sophia asked, her eyes scanning her two daughters.

"Or perhaps she has caught a fine man at the castle," Georgina blurted, causing Hyacinth to nudge her.

Hyacinth sighed, glaring at Georgina before facing their mother. "She was with a distinctly handsome man at the wedding ball, and they seemed engrossed in a deep conversation."

"Now!, is that not fascinating?," Mrs. Sophia said, her gaze traveling towards where her daughter had just walked out from.

....

"Oh! Look, it is Madeline."

"Her skin is now finer."
