PROLOGUE

Adriano looked at the girl sleeping beside him and was disgusted. Not because he thought she was ugly, no, she was breathtakingly beautiful, she was in every sense perfect and that was the problem. Why had he agreed to this union in the first place? She was perfect, sweet and innocent. She was not supposed to be married to a man like him. But now, they were joined in this union ‘till death do them part’. It wasn’t just a vow; it was how things worked in their world. Divorce was not an option and running away from your marriage was probably the worst mistake you could ever make as a woman. It was a death sentence. The only thing that could break a marital union was death. This sweet, precious girl was bound to him forever till either of them died.
