Without the money and support Alyssa and her family need there is no hope to save her mother.

These Vengeful vows by Adobuu

They were promised to each other before they could even speak. Heir to an empire. Daughter of a legacy. Bound by a deal neither of them asked for. She's learned to live with the panic that shadows her nights, the anxiety that claws at her chest when the world becomes too much. He's learned to bury the ghosts of his past under power, wealth, and a name that opens every door. But the marriage contract changes everything. One bed. One future. No escape. And just when they begin to see beyond the walls they've built around themselves, a message arrives: I know who killed your mother. The sender? A man the groom once called brother. Someone who lost eight years of his life while he walked free. Someone who wants revenge, not just on him, but on the family that destroyed everything. Lies will surface. Loyalties will shatter. And in the middle of it all, two broken souls will have to decide if they can trust each other... or if love is just another trap waiting to break them.

But night after night, she shatters rule after rule... And soon, his heart becomes the final one to break. 🎯 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐞 Genre: Romance / Drama / Slow Burn / Hurt-Comfort Age rating: 16+ (emotional abuse themes, mature emotional content)

The Royal Deal by RoshniSharma476

It was supposed to be a marriage. A contract marriage. A simple deal beneficial to two families. But she hated it, she hated objectifying herself for the greed of her father. She hated the feeling of losing from a bunch of strangers who didn't consider her say in her own life. So, she turned the tables. What she didn't know was, he only agreed to a deal thinking she had a say. He didn't want a marriage yet agreed to one for the benefit and name of his family. He wasn't a man to mess with but she took her chance and he let her. And it might be her biggest mistake. Taking her chances with him. He got obsessed with everything about her. Her fragrance. Her voice. Her very presence. She came into his life with all the intentions to leave. Now the question is, would he really let her go? Would she want to stay?

Caged In Vows by itsnaari_1709

It wasn't love. It wasn't choice. It was fear that tied them together. Year's ago a priest's prophecy said a tragedy could be avoided only if both families are tied by marriage. So they were. Two strangers bound by superstition - growing up as each other's biggest mistake. He blamed her for the life he never wanted. She blamed him from the childhood stolen from her. They learned to hate the walls the other built. but the time has a strange way of changing people. And somewhere between the resentment, silence and years of pretending not to care... her heart betrayed her. She fell for the person who wished she didn't exist Because not all cages are made of iron. Some are woven with fate, emotion and vows that refuse to break...!!
