Tangled in Her Vows
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?
