Sharp Objects

Between Wings

“In a house divided by status, secrets, and the whisper of wings, freedom feels as distant as the stars.” When Laura Charles takes a position at the prestigious Wyndham Estate, she plans to keep her head down, her past hidden, and her heart untangled. Among the polished silver and immaculate halls, she’s determined to play her part as the perfect lady's maid: quiet, diligent, and invisible. But nothing at Wyndham is as simple as it seems. From Amber, the exuberant housemaid, to Mrs. Hobbs, the sharp and rigid housekeeper, the servants' hall brims with personalities as complex as the estate itself. Among them is Aleksi, a towering, sharp-tongued footman whose presence stirs something Laura can't quite define. As their paths cross in unexpected ways, sparks fly—not of romance but of class tension and sharp disdain. Yet beneath the barbs and silences lies an unsettling intensity that neither can fully ignore. Meanwhile, the estate hides more than just its opulent splendor. Foreign servants whisper in a language Laura doesn’t understand, and the weight of expectations crushes everyone under the roof, noble or not. In a world where every glance and gesture is a battle for survival, trust becomes a dangerous luxury, and the line between ally and enemy blurs. As the seasons shift and the stakes rise, Laura finds herself trapped between two wings: the strict confines of duty and the yearning for something more—freedom, perhaps, or even love. But how far will she go to protect herself when her heart and her carefully constructed walls are both at risk of crumbling? Between Wings is a tale of class, romance, and survival, where every choice is fraught with danger and even the smallest kindness can have far-reaching consequences. For fans of slow-burn romance, rich historical drama, and characters navigating a world determined to define them, this is a story of transformation and defiance against all odds.

You are my heartbeat

Scene 1 "Your marriage is fixed," Father Shen stated calmly. "You'll register the marriage directly." "I don't agree!" Shen Ning stood up, her face full of defiance. Father Shen pursed his lips, his tone unwavering. "Objection denied." ________________________________ Scene 2 "Every relationship has its issues. You don't have to face it alone. What happened?" Still, Qin Yuheng remained silent, his eyes distant, unwilling to open up. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Qin Yuheng spoke, his voice barely above a whisper. "I forced her to marry me… But... she likes someone else." ________________________________ Scene 3 "Will you always be there on my every birthday?" "Mm-hmm," he replied, his answer simple but filled with the promise of a lifetime. He moved to lead her toward the cake. "Let's—" But Shen Ning suddenly stopped him. "I love you." He paused, sure that he had misheard. "What did you say?" Shen Ning's voice was steady, but her heart was pounding as if it were trying to escape her chest. "I love you." _________________________________ Scene 4 "You think I slept with someone else?" she whispered, her voice hollow, "How can you?" He sneered in disgust. Then, suddenly, her expression shifted. A cold, mocking smile appeared on her face. "Oh, you're right," she said, her voice sharp as a blade. "I did. Not once, but many times." His eyes flared with rage, but she pressed on, gustily. "I never stopped loving him. I was forced to be with you. I cheated on you. So what now? Want a divorce?" _________________________________ ✿✿✿✷✯◕◕✿◕◕◕ I’ve modified the synopsis to add more depth and focus on key scenes.
