One kiss. That's all it took for her to be left alone at the marriage altar, abandoned by her groom. And for him, it was all it took to realize that she was the one he wanted by his side. He was a traditionalist; rigid in his beliefs about women. She was bold. Rebellious. Unapologetically free. "I believe a woman's strength lies in her grace, her loyalty, and her ability to hold the family together. A good wife should be supportive, nurturing, and put her family first." That's what he expected from a wife. But his heart betrayed his mind... and fell for a woman who embodied everything he was taught to despise. "I want my partner to understand me, to love me for who I am. I want him to support me as I reach for the sky, and still be there when I dive into the depth of love." That was the kind of love she had always longed for in a husband. ***** Just give it a chance if you're tired of the usual innocent angel type.

*a war between love and obsession* "I could never love you, never!" she stated her voice was filled with determination while staring right in his eyes to show the sincerity of her words. "you have to or at least will pretend to love me " he challenged "that's the thing Mr. Armando you can force a person to marry you but not the feelings and to make someone to love you is not in your control " "the same thing you've said to me about marriage and look where you are Ariel" Ryan taunted "you have my body but you could never have my heart" "heart resides within the body " "a day will come when you get to know the difference. that day you will realize I am not yours, I never have been" Ariel challenged "you are mine and will be mine I can assure you that " he replied in determination. Ariel's life has always been perfect with loving parents and a childhood sweetheart, Ian who has proposed her recently. what more could she ask for? her life has always been a bed of roses with Ian by her side until certain someone saw her. she unknowingly crosses devil's path and her beauty ignited something in that certain someone; none other than Ryan Armando. Ryan Armando was apparently in search of a bride to get all the Armando empire under his name and his search came to a halt when Ariel stumbled in his life out of nowhere. he wants her to be his, according to him its his love but his lust for her is also something he can't deny.
