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?

FLASHBACK: (Amelia Wedding Night)

…..

WARNING: TRIGGERING SCENE AHEAD

Amelia's heart stopped beating when Daniel pointed a gun at her head. Her breath caught up in her chest, and she felt as if her whole life was now in Daniel's palm.

The hurtful slap Daniel gave to her no longer stung when she saw the gun. She was just shocked beyond words, with no saving grace.

Her lime green eyes pooled up, and she stared up at Daniel, demanding an explanation.

"Stand up," Daniel ordered.

The light in his eyes was gone. There wasn't even a small flicker of it remaining. Amelia felt cold as if she had been the Devil himself before her.

Amelia shook her head, waves of tears streaming down her face. The innocence in her refused to believe the possibility of Daniel about to hurt her. "What's happening?"

Daniel frowned, "You can still ask questions? Does this look like a joke to you?" he questioned, referring to the gun he held.
