Full Synopsis

🥀

Aubrielle Elliana Russell, the sole heiress to the once mighty Russell clan, yearned for nothing more than to break free from the shackles of her parents' arranged marriage.

Her family's lineage was once the stuff of legends, boasting an unparalleled reputation as the most powerful clan of them all.

However, the passage of two centuries had seen their standing plummet, as no divine healer had been born into their bloodline, leaving them grasping for relevance in a world that had long since moved on.

Despite her prestigious upbringing, Aubrielle could not shake the feeling that her life was not her own.

The weight of her family's expectations hung heavy on her shoulders, stifling her dreams and ambitions. She longed to forge her own path, to carve out a destiny that was uniquely hers.

But as the pressure mounted, and the whispers of her family's fading reputation grew louder, Aubrielle knew that the time had come to make a choice.

Would she succumb to the weight of her family's legacy, or would she rise above it, blazing a trail that would cement her own place in history?

Only time would tell, but one thing was for certain: Aubrielle was a force to be reckoned with, and she was ready to take on whatever challenges lay ahead.

📌AUTHOR [Zhara] : As this is my first story, it is obviously written without any prior planning or a proper outline, lacking proficiency and structure. As such, I offer my sincerest apologies if you come across any flaws, contradictions, red flags, or unsuitable words or scenes. As a writer, I understand that my responsibility extends beyond just putting words on a page but also ensuring the content of my work is appropriate and well-crafted.

📚If this story isn't your cup of tea [🍵] , you have the option to skip it. Although I understand your dislike for my characters, please refrain from cursing the author.

‼️The character and plot may be aggressive, abusive, and sensitive, but just because I wrote it doesn't mean I acknowledge or personally support such conduct. I like reading these types of stories, so I'm writing one myself. (I know, my mind is kinda screwed. 😅) Again, I don't support any kind of violence against anyone. 🙅‍♀️

📌I am currently planning to turn this into a trilogy centered around the lives of three remarkable women. [❣️] This first book is titled "Chain My Heart." While I cannot spill any further details about the upcoming installments just yet, I can say that important characters will emerge in this first series that will play a crucial role in the second and third book. So, it's best to take note and keep them in mind as you follow the journey of our heroines.

Chapter 1

🥀

Aubrielle lay sprawled on her bed, staring at the ceiling, her body tense with anxiety as she whispered to herself in disbelief.

Aubrielle

Do I really have to marry him?

She felt a suffocating sense of helplessness as she contemplated her future. Her parents had made the decision to wed her off to a foreign man, and she had no say in the matter.

The worst part was that she had never even met her supposed husband. He was a complete stranger, and she had no idea what he looked like or what kind of person he was.

All she knew about him was that he was an illegitimate child of the emperor and that he was a notorious womanizer with a harem of concubines at his beck and call.

The mere thought of being the center of jealousy and conflict among his other mistresses made her stomach churn.

Aubrielle

How was I supposed to coexist with a man who had a string of lovers vying for his attention?

Her heart raced as she thought about what her life would be like with this man, with his reputation for being a flirt.

Aubrielle

And what if he was a cruel and violent man?

Aubrielle

What if he was already in love with another woman, leaving me to be nothing more than a trophy wife?

The thought of being forced into a life with someone she had no connection to filled her with dread.

Aubrielle

Damn it!

Aubrielle cursed under her breath, feeling trapped and powerless.

She longed to be free to choose her own path, to pursue her dreams of becoming a skilled knight or even better to become the future Duchess of Russell.

But her fate had already been decided for her, and she had no choice but to accept it.

As she lay there, her mind racing with panic and frustration, Aubrielle couldn't help but wish for the power to defy her parents and take control of her own destiny.

The weight of her powerlessness was crushing, and Aubrielle felt like a prisoner in her own life. She longed to break free of the constraints that had been placed upon her and have the freedom to pursue her own happiness.

But for now, she could only wait and wonder what her future held, hoping that somehow she would find a way to escape the fate that had been forced on her.

Aubrielle

Wait!

Aubrielle's eyes widened as a sudden realization dawned on her.

In a single, swift movement, she stood upright, her posture tense with newfound determination.

Aubrielle

I still have a chance.

Aubrielle

I'll just need to prove to my parents that I'm worthy of being a Duchess.

There was a time when the Russell family was the stuff of legends, spoken of in hushed whispers as the most gifted divine healers the world had ever seen.

Their reputation was unblemished, and their mastery of the healing arts was unparalleled, capable of mending even the most grievous injuries with ease.

Their mere presence could instill hope in the most hopeless of hearts, and their powers were considered nothing short of miraculous.

However, that time had long since passed, and the present day found the Russells relegated to the margins of society.

They had become a tragic example of the fleeting nature of fame and prestige. Their once-great name had been reduced to a pitiable shadow of its former self, a mere footnote in the annals of history.

The Russell's had lost their luster, and their legacy had been overshadowed by the more prominent and respected clans of the empire.

Their magic, once the envy of all, had been relegated to the dustbin of history, and they now languished in the painful obscurity of their fall from grace.

Her family had become a tragic tale of what happens when greatness fades, leaving behind only memories of a time long gone.
