Contract Marriage: From Vows To Vengeance

What good could come out of a loveless marriage birthed from a bitter feud? Amelia Hudgens' dream of a marital bliss filled with love was shattered when she was married off to Daniel Theodore as a pawn for an ancient vendetta. Her husband, Daniel, was a cruel and abusive man who tormented her with his mistress and his fists. He shattered her dreams of happiness and freedom, leaving her broken and hopeless. Hope bloomed, fragile as a butterfly's wing, when she discovered life stirring within her, but fate had other plans. A tragic accident took away her unborn baby, leaving her shattered and alone. Daniel blamed her for everything, even in the hospital where she was recovering. He showed no mercy, only malice. Amelia wanted to end her misery, to jump from a bridge and drown in the sea. But as she was about to take the final plunge, she crossed paths with Cullen, a mysterious man who saved her from the brink of death. He was kind and gentle, a soothing balm for her wounded soul. He offered her a chance to start over, to heal from her past. But could Amelia trust him? Could she rebuild her life and find happiness again? Could she stand up against Daniel, who would stop at nothing to get her back? Was Cullen's help all genuine?

"What?" Cullen asked in disbelief.

Her voice was barely a whisper so he strongly fought himself to believe he heard wrongly and maybe hallucinated.

Amelia sniffed. She parted her like to speak but her throat dried up when she remembered how ugly her skin looked. The bruises are something a man like Cullen would never want to see.

Feeling her self-hate crawling into her skin again, Amelia tore her arm from his hold. Cullen quickly grabbed her arm again, stopping her from leaving.

Amelia had no other option than to stand before him again and meet his eyes. The moment she met his snow-blue deep eyes, she threw restraint and everything that held her back from letting him play dirty with her body and mind into the rain and crashed their lips together for the second time in one night.

Cullen froze but quickly recovered himself. He hungrily wrapped his arm around her waist and kissed her back.
