@imagination7047 thanks for the explanation. I did see it play out in later chapters. The story is entertaining ❤️

@Bro12bro what do you want to know? This version is much more detailed (and better) than original but the plot seems to be the same. 
            
            They got married, she wanted to get to know him before consummating. She told him of her interest in learning to sword fight. He taught her. They were attacked by a rival on their way to do puja. She saved his life. She fell in love with him and 9 months after the marriage told him she wanted to consummate. They had sex, she got pregnant and gave birth to a boy. He went off to war for a year and when he returned, she was finally ready to tell him she loved him when she she walked in on Zikram and Devika making out and heard him tell her she’s the only woman in his heart. Heartbroken she confronted him and decided to leave and was set up to rule another kingdom.
            
            Zikram was kind, compassionate and caring towards Sadhika but his love for Devika was unwavering.  People thought his feelings would change but they never did. It was supposed to be the HEA for Zikram and Devika and ‘the binding promise’ was supposed to be rebirth story of Zikram and Sadhika. But author changed it over the upset. So now there will 3 parts to this story. Who knows maybe Zikram betrays Devika in this version but I think the author will keep to the original with changes here and there.

@DeeDee1622 tell me something more about original version of second marriage about sadhika Vikram relationship please....

@Bro12bro for me, i was rooting for Zikram and Devika. It was clear in the original and now in this version that Zikram would truly love only Devika. Many wanted a new love interest for Sadhika but author said time period and the fact she was married to a king, it wasn’t possible. I think she’ll work it so it’s possible this go round. But the story currently under way, there won’t be a happy ending for any of them.

@DeeDee1622 Thats why i dont appreciate stories wherein the first wife dies during childbirth and within a few months husband moves on with a new wive for the sake of child ( flimsy reason i feel) and falls in love with the second wife when he claimed to be in love with dead wife till a few months ago. I find this as betrayal but many readers love this trope where late wife is completely erased from memory.
            
            Have you read ‘ fractured vows a husband wife story’? Still rewriting but let me know your thoughts.

@DeeDee1622  most of the time when ML says he will never love any other female other than his wife usually falls for the other female quickly or gradually but eventually even if the firstwife is dead or alive . So have to wait and watch what author decides this time.

@DeeDee1622 i dont want Vikram to develop any feelings for Sadhika . Then his love for Devika is not true. But i dont trust author.

@KimRafi9 it looks like she’s keeping the same plot just adding more detail to the story with Zikram and Sadhika’s moms “villian” rolls played up. I’m thinking she may have removed the stillborn baby aspect and wondering IF she did why? I hope she changes some other stuff…like having the confrontation between Zikram and Sadhika be after the baby is born. Never sat well with me that he kept having sex with her after an heir was conceived. 
            If at the end Sadhika still uses the blank promise to force him to love her and only her in the next life, the only way that story would work for me is if “Sadhika” loves someone else completely and “Zikram” is left out in the cold. 
            Karma and all…

@KimRafi9 well Let's wait and see what happen. 

@DeeDee1622 exactly this is the reason i couldn’t relate to her character coz she was not innocent. She never fight for hersef. Just becoz a king give proposal that Doesn't mean he was forcing. She have the right to reject but she and her fam never did. 

@deedee1622 @Mazaama replacement is good and this whole series by author is just and I must say deserving an award !! 

@DeeDee1622 @Mazaama  hey you both should read "Replacement (US#6)" book. It's good and have a satisfying end...

@KimRafi9 IA but guess we need to see what changes she’s made to the story. But definitely one of them needs a new man.
            
            I’m not versed in Hindu mythology and she says she doesn’t get what soulmates are but before she trashed it she wrote Zikram and Devika as soulmates. And even the Shiva/Parvati aspect of the story plays into that. Ma Parvati went through 108 REBIRTHS for him to recognize her and get his love.  That’s soulmates. No matter what lifetime or how many, they’ll find each other. So I don’t understand the concept of this deep soul connection with one person to then take a rebirth to love another? Doesn’t make sense to me. She wants to keep all 3 good and she wants to please everyone. That doesn’t work in a polygamy storyline, even in ones that wind up as co- wives. Gotta pick a lane and stick to it.

@Mazaama 
            Thanks

I like these kind of stories. Justice well served.

@Mazaama yesss I read that one. Soo good. ML karma was *chef’s kiss*

@DeeDee1622 Thankyou.

@panwarsha looking forward to the new ones 
            
            You started off with a bang with your first story. Second Marriage is thought provoking and you actually had me liking a ML in a poly story unthinkable  
            You’ve weaved the story well and had me feeling conflicting emotions. Keep writing I hope you get to sell your stories one day
