He didn't ask for a wife. He certainly didn't want one but when she left, he realized she was everything he. Someone he couldn't live without. After a brutal heartbreak and betrayal at twenty, Zale shut his heart on love. It became detestable to him. Emotionally wrecked, distant and cold, he returns home only to discover a big surprise, one that broke him more. His parents handpicked a wife for him. To him, Isla is nothing more than a gold digger and a stranger under his roof. He made it clear to her. Do nothing, expect nothing. Isla tries to make it work, but Zale meets her efforts and kindness with silence and eventually cruelty. When the weight of rejection became unbearable, she walks away. But her absence haunts him, overwhelmed by an ache he can't explain and a familiar feeling, he had buried for so long. The heart he had carefully guarded begins to crumble. He was no longer a man who didn't care. He is now the man desperate to get back the gem he trashed. But when he finds her... Will she still be his love? Or let him suffer like she did, with no mercy?

Tangled in Her Vows CHAPTER FIVE
ZALE POVI raised my head when I heard a knock on the door. "Come in," I groaned, returning my gaze back to the laptop."Hello sir, I came to inform you that I'll be clocking out now," Evan, my secretary, announced."Why?" I hissed. Why would he clock out when it's not yet close of business?I didn't get a response, so I looked at him, furrowing a brow."I.. I don't understand, sir," he murmured.Why am I surrounded by dumb people lately? "What's the time Evan?"I watched him check his wristwatch. "It's past 11 p.m" he said.Wait, how? I've only done a small portion of my work. Turning on my phone, it was indeed twenty minutes past eleven."You can go," I grumbled, and he rushed out like I was about to hurt him or something.I didn't know it was this late. After I returned from my parents’ house, I came directly to the office as I didn't see the need to drop by at home.Shortly after I got to New York, mom blew up my phone with tons of calls and messages, so I had to switch it off.I

ISLA POVWe all watched as Zale stormed off. I sat with my head hung low, trying to hide the tears that fell off my eyes.I knew he won’t be thrilled about the marriage when he finds out but I didn't expect him to be this angry either.I pinched myself, wishing this was all a terrible nightmare, but it wasn't.Yesterday was a rollercoaster. His accusations made me mad, and I had to defend myself. To prove that I'm not weak.Married to him meant I would move in with him and I had prepared myself, but seeing how he views me, how am I supposed to live with a man that hates me?It would sound ridiculous that I agreed to marry him because I've liked him since the first day I saw him.Calling me a gold digger might be harsh, but is not entirely reasonable."Isla?" I jolted when I felt a pat on my shoulder. I wiped my tears away and wore a fake smile that barely reached my eyes."What are you thinking about, dear? I've been calling you for a while now," she said, looking at me with worried f

ZALE POVI stopped typing on my laptop when my eyes started to hurt. Groaning, I closed my eyes.Ever since the argument with that girl, I had buried myself in work. To block out her pretentious voice, my parents' threat and the unending anger raging inside of me.My gaze shifted to the wall clock, and it was past midnight. Sleep had eluded me. The luxury of tranquility was beyond reach.For years, I had managed the storm, but now. It had become chaotic. No matter how much I try to understand why my parents did what they did, nothing made sense.Unless she manipulated them, I don't see why they chose her. As unreasonable as it sounds, my father threatened to strip me of my inheritance if I divorce her.But no matter what, I'll make her suffer so badly that she will divorce me instead. Good thing I don't need anything from her.I see through the facade she's putting on. All I see is a pretentious, greedy, and manipulative gold digger. Else, why would she agree to marry a man that you k

ISLA POVI hummed along with the song as I swirled happily. After all, my longtime crush turned husband was finally coming back home.After freshening up, I wore a red floral dress that hugged my curves perfectly. My makeup was light and I brushed down my wavy strawberry blonde hair.A knock on the door and I granted whoever it was permission to come in. "Good morning ma'am Isla," a junior maid greeted, flashing me a cheeky smile.I sighed, "good morning Kiara and for Pete's sake, don't call me ma'am anymore. Isla is just fine.""And risk losing my job? No way!” She rolled her eyes. "You're now the daughter-in-law of the Rhodes family," she added.I shrugged, "fine. Do whatever you want.”She giggled, "thank you, madam". I opened my mouth to protest, but closed it. Shaking my head. I walked into my walk-in closet and soon came out, wearing a pair white Hermes slippers.Kiara was making the bed. She turned to me when she felt my presence, "you look beautiful ma'am. I bet Master Zale
