Summary
Title: Brood Parasitism
As the moon cast an ethereal glow upon the ancient walls of Blackfort, Julia stood frozen in the threshold of her old home, memories flooding back after twelve long years. The once imposing estate now seemed to whisper secrets of the past, its shadows dancing with ghosts of her youth. Lost in nostalgia, she barely noticed the approach of a tall figure, his presence commanding yet strangely familiar.
"Julia," a voice, velvet and rich, called out her name. She turned to face Benjamin, now a count, his piercing gaze stirring emotions she thought long buried. In that moment, the air crackled with tension as if the very walls around them held their breath.
A forbidden attraction blossomed between them, pulling at Julia's resolve like a relentless tide. The count's charm wrapped around her like a cloak, his words a sweet poison she was helpless to resist. And when he whispered at her door, his voice laden with unspoken promises, a shiver ran down her spine.
"If you'll permit me... I'm coming in..."
In that heartbeat, Julia stood at a crossroads, her convent years a distant memory, her heart a battleground between duty and desire. Little did she know that this meeting was but the first thread in a tapestry of deception, ancient rivalries, and a love that defied time itself.
