Unfinished Vows by Kevin___KT
20 parts Ongoing Mature
"I wanted to hate him. I wanted to walk away without a second thought. But how do you forget someone who still lingers in your every breath?" Kate thought she was finally free. Three years of a cold, loveless marriage to Dev-her arrogant, emotionally distant husband-had left her shattered. Now, with divorce on the horizon, she should be relieved. But when circumstances force them to live under the same roof again, she realizes something is different. Dev isn't the same man who once ignored her existence. He watches her now, his eyes filled with something she can't quite name. Regret? Possession? Something deeper? Dev always believed he never wanted this marriage. But as Kate pulls away, he's gripped by an unfamiliar panic. What if letting her go was his biggest mistake? What if, deep down, he never truly wanted her to leave? Dev - "I believed you'd stand by me, even when I couldn't be there for you. I was wrong-you deserve better. I'll grow, I'll change, but I refuse to lose you." Trapped between past wounds and an uncertain future, Kate and Dev are forced to confront the emotions they've buried for years. But is it too late for second chances? Or were their vows never meant to be broken? A gripping tale of love, heartbreak, and the undeniable pull of fate. Will they fight for each other... or walk away forever?
