The Reluctant Wife

Thrown into an arranged marriage with a man who clearly despises her, Lauren finds herself navigating a world of wealth, secrets, and unexpected emotional battles. Will she find peace or be consumed by the darkness that surrounds her new husband?
Life had been simple, perhaps too simple, until now. You woke up to the familiar sunlight, the comfort of your messy room, and the usual morning banter with your parents. But the world tilted on its axis when an old family friend, James Kingston, visited, and the word 'marriage' was uttered. Suddenly, your comfortable life is replaced by the bewildering reality of an arranged union with Ethan Kingston, a man as handsome as he is cold and distant. The wedding was a blur of forced smiles and palpable tension, culminating in a chilling arrival at a grand mansion where your new husband made it clear you were unwelcome. Left alone in a room that isn't yours, you are faced with the harsh reality: you are married to a stranger who hates you.
