Revenge, Regret And Redemption: Bound In Contract Marriage
Abandoned and alone, Amara, an orphan with dreams as vast as the city she's about to enter, believes her hard work will pave the way to a brighter future. But her path collides violently with Killian, a privileged and ruthless heir consumed by vengeance. A single, desperate act of defiance ignites a firestorm, pulling her into a dark world of power, humiliation, and a contract marriage she never anticipated. Can she survive the inferno, or will she be consumed by the very forces she unknowingly provoked?The air in the orphanage was thick with the scent of old wood and well-worn dreams. Amara, a wisp of a girl with eyes that held the universe's innocence, bounced on the balls of her feet.
"Amara, you are going to leave tomorrow. Have you packed everything?" Marry's voice, as rough as sandpaper but carrying an undeniable undertone of concern, cut through the quiet.
Amara beamed, a wide, bright smile that could light up the gloomiest corner. "I have packed everything, Mother!"
Marry snorted, a sound that usually preceded a reprimand. "Stop smiling like a fool! And don't call me Mother! I am not your goddamned mother." Her words were sharp, but Amara, used to her bark, merely giggled, throwing her arms around the stiff old woman. Tomorrow, her life would truly begin.
