The World of Secfenia

After more than two years of marriage, it could be assumed that Thea Winterbourne and Aileigh Sanchari were settled in their relationship. This, however, would be an incorrect assumption. The Sanchari-Winterbourne household had always been unorthodox. The marriage had begun as a mutual agreement: a ...

With the decision now made, the two cousins chattered on for a short while longer before Cordelia showed Thea to the guest room. Thea did not remember any of what had been discussed after she had decided to rid her body of the pregnancy. It felt like she was looking down on herself and all she could...

Thea's face was passive. She did not want Cordelia to see she was worried. Dangerous. This would be dangerous, especially if the practitioner was not knowledgeable.

This time, however, Thea felt as though her cousin was misunderstanding why she felt so lost. The younger woman shook her hea...

Thea had unloaded a lot onto Cordelia without giving her a chance to interject. It was only natural that she would need to backtrack a bit to ask questions or make comments about the whole situation, not just the part that Thea sought advice on. She was relieved that her cousin agreed with her about...

Thea pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed. "I guess I need to backtrack a bit for you to understand it all." It felt like an arduous task, especially as she was sure that Cordelia would be surprised and have questions. "Obviously, you know Aileigh is pregnant by Andrzej. When we ...
