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?

Amelia choked on her saliva. She lost her breath and ability to speak. She sniffed hard, trying hard to breathe.

"I_" she paused and shook her head, trying to understand herself. When he mentioned marriage earlier, she thought she had been dreaming and now he reaped it, and she was lost for words to say.

Cullen kissed the crown of her head. "You don't have to give me an instant reply. I'll give you time until you're ready," he kissed her brows. "I'm sure you're hungry. Let me get you something to eat,"

Amelia nodded. With a small hug, she permitted him to leave. Cullen came down from the bed after small lingering kisses on her knuckles.

Amelia watched him leave and placed a hand on her chest. Was she dreaming? Cullen asked her to marry him. Twice.

"Oh_"

Her phone screen suddenly lit up, grabbing her attention. Rubbing her eyes, she picked it up to know who it was.
