Pages Of Our Hearts - Leo & Emily

A forbidden love, a society's scorn, and a twist of fate that changes everything. Two hearts intertwined in a secret affair, one decision that threatens to tear them apart. I am Emily, a young heiress in 1896s America, living a life that's planned to the last detail. Rich suitors, societal obligations, and a family to take care of - that's my reality. But everything changed when I met Leo, the farmhand who came to work at our estate.
A chance encounter, and I'm lost in his eyes, his words, and the way he understands my love for literature. Yet, society's rules are clear, and my heart's desire is forbidden. An affair with a farmhand? It's unheard of, scandalous even. Yet, the pull towards Leo is something I can't ignore, no matter how hard I try. A suitor chosen by my family, an explosive argument, a growing attraction that I can't control - my life is unraveling, and Leo is at the center of it all. I thought I had everything figured out.
Marry the rich man, save my family, suppress my feelings for Leo. Simple, right? Until the day a dark secret is revealed, and everything I thought I knew about my life, my love, and myself is thrown into chaos. Suddenly, the rules don't matter, the society's scorn is insignificant, and all that's left is a burning question: Will I follow my heart or will I bow down to the world's expectations? The choice is mine, but it's a decision that could either save us or destroy us both.
