The Red-Haired Lover

After the death of her parents, nine-year-old Maria met the mysterious seventeen-year-old Sarkon Ritchie who claimed to be her father’s friend and wanted to take her under his wing to care for her. As she got older, she realized that Sarkon comes from a world entirely different from hers: a world of the plutocrats, the most powerful and wealthy people of Lenmont’s high society - and Maria’s life had taken an extraordinary turn… Despite Sarkon’s insistence on being Maria’s guardian, who swore to protect her in place of her father, Maria fell in love with that striking blue gaze and beastly charm. But what does it mean to love the second most powerful person of Lenmont’s high society? Will he ever love her back? Or will Maria be just another pawn of a power struggle? The Red-Haired Lover is created by Elle Gobe, an eGlobal Creative Publishing author.

Chapter 32: The Only Thing Sarkon Didn't Know

Uncle Sarkon sighed. “Maria. We’ve been through this many times now. When you analyze a painting, talk about the subject matter, composition, mood, viewpoint, and style.”

Maria nodded. “Yes, Uncle Sarkon.”

“Start.”

Maria sucked in a deep breath.

“It is a still life… of arranged fruits in the middle ground… depressive mood… flat… frontal and close up view.”

When she finished, she breathed again.

Uncle Sarkon maintained a hard expression. “Why do you think it’s depressive, Maria? The colors are warm, and there is enough lighting.”

Maria tilted her head in an innocent puzzlement. “The undertones are dark, Uncle Sarkon.” A finger pointed at one of the round fruits. “Look, the orange has a slightly dull shade as if grey was added.”

Those blue eyes relaxed. “You are very sensitive to colors.”

The fourteen-year-old raised her brows in glee as if she was being praised. A smile appeared on her lips as something ignited in her.

She would paint.
