All Chapters of Twisted Vows: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

DAWSON MANSION CAROLINA'S MANSION~~~ NIGHT The noise downstairs was deafening to Carolina.The laughter, music, clinking glasses, voices calling her name everything blended into one unbearable sound. Maids had been knocking on her door for over an hour, begging her to come downstairs, but Carolina refused to move an inch. Because why would she? Tonight was supposed to be her bridal shower. Tomorrow, she was supposed to marry a sick maniac. Carolina Dawson had been born into wealth, elegance, and power. Everyone called her lucky. They saw the expensive dresses, the luxurious mansion, the perfect family name, but none of them knew the truth. She had not been raised like a daughter, she had been raised like an investment. After her mother died when she was ten, the only parent who had ever loved her disappeared too. Her father remained, but the man he became was nothing like the one she used to know. He never hit her, he never needed to, his words were enough. His coldness was e

DAWSON MANSION The Dawson mansion was in chaos exactly the way Carolina had imagined it would be. Servants rushed through the halls in panic, guards stormed in and out of the mansion, and the atmosphere was so tense it felt like the entire house could collapse at any moment. Mr. Dawson stood in the middle of the sitting room, gripping his phone so tightly his knuckles had turned white. Woo Jin had been on the phone for hours, barking orders at his men to search every corner of the city. "Find her!" he shouted into the phone. "I don't care where you have to look, just find Carolina!" Mr Dawson dialed her number again, the same thing, switched off. His jaw tightened more than before. "Where the hell are you, Carol...?" he muttered under his breath. He knew she had run away but Carolina had nowhere to go, she has no friends close enough, no relatives she trusted, she has no one, which makes it certain to him that she would come back, she had to come back. He walked back into t

~~~~~~~~~~ “Take him back to his room,” Adrian said abruptly, standing up to Carolina and at that moment she knew she was doomed. The butler nodded and gently picked Justin up but the little boy immediately reached for Carolina, he didn't say anything but the look in his eyes was calling to her and that alone made Carolina's heart shattered. “It's okay,” she whispered before she could stop herself. “It's okay, sweetheart.” She muttered and Justin looked at her before the butler carry him away. The second they disappeared, Adrian turned to her, the warmth in his face vanished immediately. “You broke the rule I gave you.” He said in rage and Carolina swallowed. “I just wanted to know who was in here” Before she could finish, Adrian grabbed her by the throat and slammed her against the wall. Pain exploded through her back and she gasped, his hand was tight around her neck, too tight that she thought she definitely won't live to see tomorrow. “You think this is a game?” he hissed,

~Moretti Mansion Things in the mansion were starting to sound normal even if they weren't. The routines The gossips The monitoring looks from the guards Were all starting to look normal. The only space she could call safe was the library. She followed Justin's schedule and the reality of all these dawned on her again when she heard the news about her father and Adrian's company. Adrian was on a call while walking out with the butler. He looked less of a billionaire and more of a model. The way he looked The way he carried himself. He glanced towards Carolina briefly before exiting the building. "What kind of father doesn't bid his son bye before leaving?" She said to herself. "Master doesn't involve himself in young master's schedule" the maid said "He doesn't want to or doesn't care at all" she said Silence. It was clearer than an answer. "What's next on your schedule, Justin?" She sighed looking at the tab "At this point even breathing would be scheduled" she sai

Carolina’s time with Justin had been shortened and Justin’s reaction was least expected. He clung onto Carolina’s clothes, sometimes biting on her dress. Adrian saw all these through the surveillance footage The butler informed Adrian about this. This made Adrian grin from ear to ear. He dashed out of his study to where the drama happened. Out of anger, Adrian thundered "What is going on here?!” he echoed through the room, standing at a distance. The maids let Justin go and stood in a line, their heads lowered. The atmosphere shifted, Cold, Tense, And Intimidating. Adrian’s brows furrowed as he stepped towards Carolina “Are you going to keep breaking the rules?” he asked, trying to control his anger in front of Justin, who buried his face in Carolina’s skirt. “Are things difficult for you? He has a schedule” Adrian reminded. Carolina who once looked into his eyes, had her gaze cast down. Adrian crouched before Justin “Justin” he called, turning him away from Car
