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

Stunned by his words, Amelia pulled back to look at him. She caressed his sharp jawline and looked into his eyes.

Cullen immediately looked down and avoided her gaze.

Amelia blinked softly. "How did you feel?" she was curious.

Cullen did not reply. He remained silent and turned away from her to face the wall. He gulped multiple times, trying to understand himself.

"How did you feel?" Amelia repeated her question.

Cullen shook his head and silently tapped his feet on the floor. He struggled to understand himself and why he said those words to her.

Amelia's smile dropped, "I understand," she had expected him not to feel anything but strangely, she found it hard to believe he felt nothing.

If he had felt nothing, then why did he kill the man the moment he saw him? Why did he not nonchalantly take the stairs and go to his room?

He can do that. The fight wasn't his fight.
