Marrying Series #2 : Marrying Bettina Castillo
Arah Bettina Castillo is the responsible, kind, and quietly strong type of woman everyone loves. But like everyone else, a scar within her soul seeps through, even when she flashes a bright smile and laughs loudly. Nikolai Hades Beaumont is the charming, unpredictable, and impossible-to-ignore type of man, living his life to the fullest without thinking about what the future might hold. But as they are drawn closer, forming a connection neither of them planned, what begins as something light quickly deepens into something more.
Secrets that are hard to hide, scars that never fade, and truths they are not yet ready to face. Bettina protects a past she refuses to revisit, a past that made her who she is today, while Nikolai has buried a secret he has spent his entire life running from, one that threatens to unravel everything he has built. Over time, they learn to lean on each other for support, yet something remains unspoken. Even in their closeness, there are lines neither dares to cross. If love is meant to heal, why do they still feel the need to hide, and how long before the truth tears them apart?
Meet Arah Bettina Castillo, a woman with unseen scars, and Nikolai Hades Beaumont, a man with a buried past, two broken souls who were meant to find each other.
