"Not once did the thought of marriage cross my mind. Especially to one that was somewhat positively reacted among those within the kingdom of Ku...or so it seemed. His brutal, violent demeanor flowed through...but there had been something else lurking inside.
But it wasn't the marriage or the proposal that had made me so afraid. It was the timing, and the man I was betrothed to."
A samurai who had spent years training to become one of the greatest warriors to exist receives a marriage proposal from Clan Ku: While the youngest son is expected to become King, she is to be betrothed to his older half-brother, an offer the samurai is willing to reject. What may seem like an innocent offer may become something more as war breaks out in Ku. What secrets lurk within the surface?

Bound By Vows (Completed) ✔️
#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.

Arranged: Betrothed
Book 2 "Anything?" He whispered smirking again. "Yes." She whispered shakily, knowing what the possibilities could be. "I want children." He stated, continuing to caress her neck with his lips. She bit her lip as they trembled. It was the one thing she didn't want yet, but if it meant she would be allowed to go to University then she would do it. She nodded in response, unable to say the word. He stopped and grabbed her hand, tugging her up to their room. She obediently climbed on the bed and laid down in the middle, closing her eyes tightly. Samir straddled her thighs, biting his lip as he stared down at his wife. She was beautiful. She wasn't skinny, but she wasn't fat either. She was somewhere in between, her stomach had a soft curve to it and she was gifted at the top and bottom. He spread her legs, pushing his muscly thigh between hers, leaning over her again. Behind her closed eyes, she could feel tears of fear forming at what would happen. He was touching her rather gently, she preferred if he would just hurry and finish the process, but it seemed he had other ideas. "I'm going to impregnate you one after the other baby-doll." He whispered in her ear, biting her earlobe. She gasped, opening her eyes wide. "I won't be able to study!" She stated shocked as she felt his warm fingers tickle her stomach. "Too late. You already agreed." He smirked against her neck. ♡°•●○___________________________○●•°♡ Zahara, a sweet girl who has just turned 18, was very bright and had a lot of hopes and dreams for her future.

The moment I was in front of him, I grabbed hold of his collar with my both hands. As I yell, "Are you cheating on me, Shahzain?" Seems like I took him by surprise, it took him a whole minute to realize what was happening right now. And the moment he did, he loosen my hold on him and pushed me, which had me stumbling back. "Even if I do, it shouldn't matter. I was forced into this marriage, Sobia." He yells back. "I didn't have a choice. But you had. You shouldn't have agreed to this marriage." Only if he knew, all my life it wasn't me who got to select the choice. Neither is this one, the most important one in my life. "I won't tolerate this. Either you leave me or leave her." I stated, anger clouding my senses. He walked towards me and took a hold of my chin in his hand and stated clearly. "And where's the fun in that? You ruined my life. I promised to ruin you till death do us a part." I pushed him hard. I had already suffered much from my so-called family. And I refused to get suffered by my husband. It's all about the limit. The moment I had my limit of misery and pain, I will end all of this. "Are you sure, it's not the other way around?" A humorless chuckle escapes my lips, as my darkest shade of eyes met his grey ones. "Also, just wanted to correct you, my dearest husband. You can't ruin what's already ruined, Shahzain." "And if I find out that you kept meeting her behind my back. I will ruin you and that lover of yours." With that I stormed out of our room, making up my mind.Complete
