Battered and Broken.
Two words to describe Amanda.
Born with a silver spoon and raised with a golden cup, Amanda had the perfect life on papers.
But behind those perfectly adorned make ups and overly expensive accessories was a woman battered and broken, left with nothing but bitterness and pain. Hot tempered and rude was a mild way to put it, independent and strong another.
Determined not to make the same mistake as her mother, Amanda will do anything but get married, but when she's presented with a marriage agreement by the one man she hates the most, she will do anything to thwart it.
And what Amanda wants she gets, unless what she wants are two opposing things...
***
Henry's life was perfect until his uncaring father decided to care.
Familiar with the opposite gender, he has always loved demure, submissive, innocent and easy to bend women.
But being presented with a marriage proposal, to a woman who he knew was far from what he wanted, he was determined to go against it.
But the chocolate eyed, easily irked beauty like a magnet draws him in.
Drawn into the family with enough trouble to put Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba to shame and enough hatred that surpass the three, Henry was just about to realize that money may not entirely be the solution.
With death threats looming, and an obsessed psycho on the loose, the story is about to get more intense.
With everybody a suspect Henry will just have to wonder, what exactly has he gotten himself into.

"Is that so? He doesn't seem to think so, he looks like one who will want to keep you for himself, but unfortunately he's late, cause we are already engaged."
"Don't be too certain" she retorted, "if everything goes as plan we will soon go our separate ways" his hold on her tightened, she couldn't help her body's reactions to that.
"Maybe till then" he whispered, his voice hoarse "but as of now, and as long as this engagement is on. You.Are.Mine."
"What are you doing here" She questions eyeing him while walking towards her closet to pull off the clothes from the party.
The prince is sitted on the bed, fingers fisting the sheets as he stares at her his Adam's apple bobbing from each ragged breath.
"I'm here for you" He states his voice raspy.
stunned she turns around so fast she stumbles "Here for me" the laugh that escapes her is unintentional. "Excuse me your highness but please get out" Now with a slightly colder voice she tells him trying to be polite.
He freezes, eyes darkening at her words before wetting his lips "I'm not going anywhere, now come here. I want you" He says eyes fixed on her and she lets out a breath her glare begining to form.
"No" The word escapes her as she turns to walk into the closet.
"I'm here as your husband" The prince mutters and she freezes, her own fingers tightening over the silk dress she has on before she whips her head to stare at him.
when her family would visit the palace she'd always leave with one name and that is 'His wife' with whispers within and outside the palace crawling over her as they refered to her as the 'Prince's wife' 'Judge's wife' but she'd brushed it all aside deciding it was best to address such issues when they are about to happen and unknown to her it came sooner than later.
Their wedding was set to take place in a few days and she felt only calm towards it only for her to wait...wait and be told he's getting married to another and that she's out of the equation.
Broken, confused and cold is what she feels but she lets it all go thinking maybe they were never meant to be.
what happens a few years later when she's summoned home by her father, she introduces her man only to get rejected and this time she's told she'll marry the prince as his 'Second' wife his Second choice and this is where she catches on fire after all 'What remains of them'.
Will she marry the prince.
Not when he's one hell of a mad man. Them
