A Letter She Was Never Meant to Find… 💌

Bonus Chapter Sneak Peek from Once Upon an Enchanted Castle

What happens after the last page? After the curse is broken, after the castle quiets, after the final kiss?

I wrote a special bonus chapter—just for you—to answer that question in the most romantic way possible.

It’s called Now We Begin, and it takes place after Bella and Leopold return to Hawthorne Manor… and Bella discovers something he left behind.

Something he never intended her to find.

💫 Bonus Chapter Title: Now We Begin
🗝️ Setting: Hawthorne Manor, post-curse
🔥 Vibe: Intimate. Reflective. Full of longing and love.

📖 Sneak Peek:

A wrinkled, folded parchment sealed in rose-stamped wax. Waiting. Her name was in perfect penmanship on the front in faded ink. Just her name. A letter? Her hand shook as she flicked open the seal and gently unfolded it. She began to read.

My dearest Bella –

There is cruelty in love unspoken. Worse, I think, than any curse. I write this knowing I may never see you again. Not as I once was. Not the man you met in the bookshop. I have not been that man in some time.

😩 Right in the heart, right?

This bonus chapter is for all the romantics who wondered what came after. And yes—there’s a moment that might just steal your breath.

Thank you for falling in love with Bella and Leopold. Their story may be complete, but the enchantment never really ends.

With bookish love and letters never sent,
Michelle ✨
