Reluctant Hearts"

Reluctant Hearts

She was just a girl-quiet, cute, and lost in her own world. At 21, in her 1 year of college, she dreamed of a simple life with her only family, her grandmother. But fate had other plans. Living under the shadow of her cruel uncle and aunt, she had always been treated as a burden. Until one day, they made a decision that changed everything-selling her off in marriage to a man who was nothing less than a nightmare.

He was a man of power, dominance, and secrets. A 26-year-old ruthless CEO with a dangerous past, feared by many, respected by all. Cold as ice, with anger burning in his veins, he ruled the business world-and the underworld. He had no place for love, no patience for weakness. And now, he was forced into a marriage he never wanted, with a girl who was nothing like the world he belonged to.

Thrown into a bond neither of them desired, their worlds collide in a storm of emotions. She is afraid of him; he is indifferent to her. She dreams of freedom; he sees her as nothing but a responsibility. But in the midst of hate, misunderstandings, and hidden dangers, something begins to change.

He is drawn to her innocence, her quiet strength. She begins to see the cracks in his armor, the man behind the mask. When unexpected threats arise and shadows from his past return, he finds himself protecting her, fighting battles he never thought he would. And in the chaos of it all, two reluctant hearts begin to beat as one.

But will love be enough to heal the wounds of the past? Or will the darkness surrounding them tear them apart before they even realize what they truly feel?
