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?

Contract Marriage: From Vows To Vengeance

Cullen woke up with a rough start.

Beads of sweat rolled down his face and his chest heaved up and down in fright. His hand clenched the duvet tight as he tried to wipe the dream off his mind at that moment.

And then, he felt a weight on his arm. Turning to see the weight was caused by Amelia, his vein popped out in heavy fright.

Alarmed, Cullen pushed away from her and sat up on the bed. "I shouldn't be this close to her," he realized with a heaving chest.

He sat up on the bed and hugged his knee to himself. For the first time since his mother died, he valued the life of someone again.

All these while, Cullen knew. Cullen knew he would turn out to become a monster just like his father. He knew he would never escape it and that was the reason why he sent his 'bed warmers' away after a month.
