Two years after being swept into a marriage she did not want, Irene gets used to living with her husband, Victor Taneev, who admires her. However, it is universally known that if a person doesn't house a feeling as love in their heart, then they seek to find it.
General Isakov every day has to come home to his wife, Ekaterina and a son named Alexander. Married to a Noble Maiden from the Smolny Institute six years ago, he himself cannot figure out what he feels towards his wife: love or indifference?
In 1894, the two meet, and both get swallowed up by a strong feeling, but both realise how dangerous the situation is.
A story about what it takes to find- and obtain- one's true love on the background of war and the most beautiful epoch, where the society's opinion was to be obeyed.

The Wedding Vow
Alexander stood before her, his long hair hiding part of his face. He looked devilishly handsome and her heart contracted. "About last night..." Samantha blushed but was abruptly interrupted by Alexander. "Last night was a mistake." He said curtly. Samantha stared at him. She couldn't believe her ears. "I beg your pardon?" "Last night was a mistake. We shouldn't have done it." He repeated, his face expressionless. "So think nothing of it." Samantha's eyes filled with tears as the sting of his words hurt her. How could he say that? Was she just there to while away his time? Last night was perfect for her. It was the best and he ruined it. "Get out," She said bitterly. "I am sorry Sam but we shouldn't have done it." "Don't you dare call me that and get out, damn you!" She yelled. She didn't know she had much venom in her. She watched as Alex hesitated before leaving. "No! No! No!" She chanted. How could she be so stupid? She thought what they had was the beginning of a beautiful marriage but she was wrong. She was used as a one-night fling. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Samantha Sinclair was aware of arranged marriages, knowing that her elder sister was into one.

Samantha did not know what to do with Liam; her high school sweetheart who believed she betrayed him and Alexander was worried about Scarlett, his model fiancee knowing how crazy she was.
