Bound by a Promise

Prologue

I never thought my life would take such a turn.

For 25 years, I lived believing I had control over my fate. That I could shape my own path, love on my own terms, and build an empire without anyone dictating my choices. But one moment, one promise, and everything I once believed in shattered.

I never thought I would end up here—with him.

His presence was the last thing I ever wanted in my life. Cold, arrogant, ruthless—Adam Black was a man I had sworn to avoid. Yet, fate had other plans.

I had made a promise.

And that promise changed everything.

Now, I stand as his wife, bound not by love, but by duty. Trapped in a life I never asked for. Every day is a battle—against him, against fate, against my own heart that threatens to betray me.

But what if this forced fate isn't my curse... but my second chance?

What if love was never meant to come easy?

And what if, in the end, this promise was the only thing that could save us both?

"She never expected to be his.....

He never wanted her to be a substitute."

"A life she never expected.....

The wife he always wanted"

" Unspoken love, unbearable pain."

How much pain can two hearts endure just because they never spoke?

They had love, they had time… so why did they only have regrets?
