Vows of Vengeance

When Samara's family migrated from the Philippines to the United States, she was just a bubbly young girl struggling in school. Her saving grace was her next-door neighbor, Icarus-a quiet, nonchalant child genius with a grumpy frown who became her tutor, protector, and safe haven.

But just as an unexpected tragedy bonded them forever, reality struck. Faced with a financial crisis and her father's failing health, Samara's family was forced to return to the Philippines overnight, leaving behind a heartbreaking, sudden silence.

A decade later, the children they used to be are gone.

Icarus is now a brilliantly cold, elite doctor. He is intimidatingly handsome, possessing a sharp jawline, intense eyes, and a rugged, powerful physique that commands every room he enters. He is guarded, unreachable, and completely changed.

When a twist of fate throws them back into each other's orbits in the Philippines, Samara-now a hardworking survivor-hardly recognizes him. All that remains between the arrogant physician and the fiercely independent girl is volatile friction and bitter resentment.

But when deep-seated family secrets catch up to them, they are backed into a corner with only one way out: walking down the aisle together.

Now, bound by vows they never expected to take, the grumpy genius and the joyful girl must live under the same roof. They are strangers who know everything-and nothing-about each other. Can the warmth of the past melt the ice of their present, or will this marriage tear them apart for good?
