What Does Golden Vow Do Novels & Stories

Inside were flowers and a ring. "Be my girlfriend," he said. "If you don’t want to marry me, that's fine. We’ll just stay in love forever." The screen erupted in hearts and gifts. "Shipper fans are losing it! I knew they were real!" "Even if it’s scripted, I’ll take it!" I blinked, confused. Scripted? Then, I touched the ring. It was soft and tasted sweet. It was cake. When I ate it along with the flowers, viewership skyrocketed again.

he said, his tone dripping with disdain. The words cut deep, and Veda felt her heart shattering into a million pieces. "I thought our vows meant something," she whispered. Adyant snorted. "Vows? Those were just empty promises, Veda. We both knew it." Veda's eyes widened in shock as the reality check of her shattered vows laid bare in front of her fragile heart. "How can you say that?" she demanded, her voice laced with pain. Adyant's gaze locked onto hers.

When they did, his breath caught visibly, and something inside his expression broke open it was not fear, not blank but in awe. This was not the man who once tried to protect love by holding it too tightly. This was the man who had learned how to stand beside me. When my father placed my hand into Adrian’s, he leaned close and whispered, “Take care of her.” “I will,” Adrian replied without hesitation. “Always.” The officiant spoke, but the words floated around me like background music. All I felt was Adrian’s thumb moving gently against my skin, grounding me in the present. When it was time for our vows, I spoke first.

“I woke up... inside of her. And yet, every part of me felt like it had betrayed something ancient. My body wanted her, but the dream made me feel cursed. Like I wasn’t even allowed to feel warm skin again.” “What was the vow?” Bukky asked. I repeated it, line for line, voice flat, eyes dark, I had mastered it: "By the blood that flows from the womb of betrayal, By the ashes of the women we buried unseen, I vow to the Order of the Crimson Shadow, To keep my heart from the touch of a woman. To drink no affection, nor taste the wine of desire. To build no home, plant no seed, For love is weakness, and weakness, death.

"Sienna… you–you can speak?" In that instant, she seemed to age more than ten years. Her legs gave way, and tears streamed down her face as she muttered, "It's over… it's all over…" Connor frowned at her. "Mom, what's wrong with you?" Her voice sounded distant, worn. "Back when the family was in crisis, your father paid a heavy price to have a reading done. It said that if you married a mute woman whose birth chart matched yours, the family's fortune would be preserved.

"Second, I would like to clarify something. Half a month ago, I already registered my marriage with my husband, Joseph. "I am here today only as a guest to offer my congratulations." As I spoke, my gaze shifted to the envelope I had placed earlier on the gift table. "Oh, right. Mr. Sterling, I've already given you my wedding gift. It's not much. Just a check for two hundred and fifty. A small token." "Two hundred and fifty?" A wave of barely suppressed laughter rippled through the crowd. Wyatt's expression instantly turned a deep, ugly red. He stared at me like he wanted to tear me apart with his eyes.

A low chuckle escaped his lips before his expression darkened and his face turned serious. "Let’s discuss the important part." He paused and studied my face for a moment, making me even more nervous than I already was. "This will be a contract marriage. After one year, we’ll get divorced." It took me a few seconds to process his words. I stared at him in shock. "What?" "I need a wife to secure my position within the family business. In return, your reputation remains safe. It’s beneficial for both of us." A contract marriage? Out of every possible scenario I had imagined, this had never crossed my mind.
