At a young age, Yvone lost her parents in a tragic car accident. With nowhere else to go, she was forced to live with her aunt-a woman buried in debt from years of reckless gambling. Survival became Yvone's daily battle, teaching her to work hard and think practically far earlier than any child should. At thirteen, she found herself working as a young maid in the grand Beltran residence, quietly dreaming of a life that didn't revolve around scrubbing floors and settling debts that weren't hers.
Meanwhile, Red, ever since he was a kid-always been independent-minded, never one to follow anyone's rules but his own. But years ago, his grandfather, had made a solemn promise to his daughter - Red's late mother - that her son would one day marry the girl she had chosen for him. Now, with that promise hanging over the family like an unbreakable vow, He set a single condition before Red could inherit the estate: he must marry that very girl.
Will Red agree to marry her? And if the wedding happens, will love blossom between the two... or will they be trapped in a heartless agreement?

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.

Bound by Legacy
Marriage is meant to be sacred-a promise between two souls who choose each other out of love. It is what some little girls look forward to all their lives. What some girls don't look for is when their parents choose who they marry. Choose who they have to spend the rest of their lives with. Born into old money and privilege, both Veronica and Alexander have lived their lives under the weight of expectation. Their families-powerful, traditional, and deeply tied by business-believe in legacy over love, alliances over affection. Veronica Aston had always believed in love-the kind that sets your heart on fire. She dreamed of choosing her partner, of building a life with someone she truly cared for. But when her parents hand her future to a man she barely knows, she finds herself trapped between duty and desire. Alexander, on the other hand, grew up knowing that freedom wasn't for men like him. Groomed from a young age to take over the Thorne legacy, he's learned to suppress his wants, his emotions, and his heart. But when he meets his sharp, stubborn, and breathtakingly honest, bride. Something inside him comes alive. Their marriage begins as a contract. But as time passes its turns much more complicated then an Arranged Marriage, feelings get involved, temptation grows, lust builds, lies start and betrayals build from under the surface .
