🌟 NOW OUT ON KINDLE 🌟 https://mybook.to/BoundByLaw *** Marriage is a sacred union tying two people that love each other, together. It brings happiness and blessings. Or that's what it should be. The marriage between traditional Karishma Varghese and the cold-hearted Jai Agarwal was anything but. Horrible circumstances force these two strangers together. Now bound by law, they struggle with feelings of hate in what they think is a loveless marriage, both holding deep, dark secrets, capable of ruining everything. Those very secrets and differences, however, could be what brings these two together in ❧ "Just because we're legally bound together, doesn't mean I love you." He leaned down, spitting out the next words menacingly. "And I never will." I tried to hold back the tears as his amber eyes blazed with anger. "O-okay." "Now, stay out of my fucking personal life or I won't hesitate to ruin yours." As he left, I broke down. The truth was, I never thought that someone could hate me so much that they'd look at me like they wanted to kill me. Especially not if that someone was supposed to be my husband. ❧ Credit to @IamSumayya for making this absolutely gorgeous cover! Thank you so much for taking your time to make it! ❤️ PS.

He locked his eyes with hers advancing towards where she was standing . Tahira took baby steps backwards, fear evident in her eyes. All she could sense was lust and greed for her body in his eyes. Soon she found her back hitting the wall. Her heart thumped wildly. As soon as he approached her he scooped her towards him sliding his arm around her waist . "Please....don't.." she muttered more to herself and soon found him crashing his lips to hers with full force. Taking out all his frustration he bit them savagely. She muffled a cry trying to loosen herself from his deathly grip. With all the strength she had she pushed him back. He was forced to take a step backwards. Taking her shot she tried to run only to find herself tripping over his foot and twisting her ankle. She let out a scream and fell down with tears streaming down her face. It was only then that he realized what he was doing. With anger and guilt in his eyes he stormed out of the room. On their wedding night Nilay point blankly clarifies that he is in a relationship with somebody else and Tahira will have to put up with that. Will her dream of a fairytale marriage come to an end? Will she hate him or still fall for him?

#Mature Content in later chapters# A sharp pull by my wrist brought me back to the wall. I hold my breath for a moment. "what the hell" I cussed. "Shh, baby girl" he exclaimed. I cringed with the endearment he used. He brought his face near to my face. His breath is fanning all over my lips. It raised my heartbeat to a different level. It must be heard by him also. His smirked face saying it all. His eyes are gazing over my lips and he started closing the small gap we have between our lips to be mingled into one. Sensing his intentions I closed my eyes & moved my face to the left. He stopped right away & increase the gap between us which I really appreciate but the hold of his hand on my wrist is very tight. It started paining me slowly. "Now listen to me very carefully, we might be lawfully wedded husband & wife. But you are nothing to me. I have only married you because of my doll" he said rudely to me. I forcefully release my hand from his hulk like grip which resulted into breaking my bangles & a piece of glass cut into my hand. It hurt me like hell. There must be a big cut in my hand. Ignoring the pain in my hand. I showed my other hand finger towards him and said "even I was not interested in this marriage. I am kind of forced into this" Which I am not, my subconscious mocked me. But I wont give him that satisfaction. Although I was not forced but I had no other option than to accept this marriage. ______________________ To know more do read "Bound by Vows"😉 WARNING- This is the first draft and you will find mistakes but i will correct them when i get the time to edit it. ##I have removed the story from here and moved to another platform.
