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?

Chapter 96

The next morning;

Cullen stared at the sleeping woman in his arms with all concentration. He took in slow and deeper breaths, feeling extremely relaxed with her and more human.

He refused to sleep for the past four hours. Watching her peaceful face relax was worth so much more than anything.

Cullen pulled her into his chest, tightening his hold around her. Even in her sleep, he wanted her to know that he would always be ready to stand with her, behind her and before her.

In response to his tight hold, Amelia buried her face into his chest, curling into his warmth. Under the duvet, she crossed her legs on him and strangled his legs - as if asking him not to leave.

Cullen swallowed hard.

If she should know this, he still wanted her. He still yearned for her taste and the feeling of their soul-shattering release. Their position at the moment wasn't helping him but he had to endure and push his feelings aside.
