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?

Chapter 56

Amelia did not return to Cullen's mansion immediately after leaving her marital home. She wandered around the city before heading to the playground to ease her burden.

She sat idle on one of the benches staring at the children running around. Her eyes came in contact with a little girl and her father running around the playground with popsicles.

They seem to have played a game where the winner has the popsicles and from the look of things, the girl seems unhappy after winning just one popsicle herself while her father had nine of them.

Unable to keep the chase, the little girl sat on the floor. She folded both hands on her knees, about to cry. The Father stopped running immediately. He rushed towards her and knelt at her level.
