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 rubbed his back gently and completed his words for him. "You haven't healed or showed any sign related to healing,"

Cullen met her gaze with his pained one. He appreciated her words but refused to say it. He has never opened up to anyone in his life.

As if Amelia read his mind and planned to strongly convince him, she begged. "Please open up your heart and feel like a human,"

Cullen hummed. "I do feel, but I don't just trust human beings. And I'll tell you why,"
