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 42

Amelia's heart raced as she watched Cullen back. About to reach the door, she clenched her duvet and called, "Cullen…"

Cullen's feet halted immediately. He turned to her, and silence descended on them. Amelia almost cursed at herself when he turned.

They just stared at each other until Cullen took the first step forward, approaching the bed. Amelia clenched the duvet tighter and waited for him to reach her bed.

"Amelia…" Cullen uttered her name softly, like a chant when he reached her bed. He stood close to her and gazed into her eyes, "You seem quite conflicted. Do you want me to stay, or do something?"

"I…."

A glint of mischief flashed through Cullen's eyes, and a smirk danced at the corner of his kissable lips.

Amelia's eyes widened when she saw such a mischievous smirk at the corner of his lips. She drew in a deep breath and recovered from his scary charms.
