Can love conquer faith, or will her devotion keep them apart? Find out in this heart-wrenching tale of love, redemption, and the ultimate test of loyalty.

Vows of the heart Chapter 1 Whispers in the Sanctuary

The "Amazing Grace" notes floated through the church as Victoria's voice rose in song. She stood at the altar, her eyes closed, her hands lightly gripping the hymnal. The congregation sat in hushed reverence, the simple, familiar melody tugging at their hearts.

At the back of the church, Mr. Caldwell's hands trembled as he gripped the edge of the pew. His face was streaked with tears, and he didn't bother to wipe them away. The hymn's words weighed heavily on him, stirring emotions he had buried deep for years. Regret and longing flickered across his expression as he watched his daughter, his mind replaying moments from a time when things were simpler and love wasn't overshadowed by fear.

Beside him, Mrs. Caldwell pressed a handkerchief to her face. Her shoulders shook as she whispered, "She has her mother's voice."

Mr. Caldwell nodded but didn't respond, too overcome to speak.

Fedrick sat beside Victoria's younger brother, Samuel, near the center of the church. Though his tailored suit stood out among the modest congregation, Fedrick focused entirely on Victoria. Each note of her song seemed to reach directly into his soul, confirming what he had suspected for weeks now: she was unlike anyone he had ever known.

"She always sings like that," Samuel whispered, leaning toward him. "Makes the whole church quiet."

Fedrick smiled faintly. "She's amazing," he replied.

As the hymn ended, Victoria opened her eyes and scanned the congregation. Her gaze briefly met Fedrick's, and she quickly looked away, focusing on the priest at the pulpit. But the intensity of his gaze lingered, leaving her unsettled in a way she couldn't quite explain.

After the service, the congregation began to disperse, chatting in low voices. Victoria stayed behind, tidying the hymnals and ensuring everything was in order. Her movements were measured, almost meditative, as she tried to calm the storm of emotions stirred by the unexpected sight of her parents sitting in the pews.

"Victoria," a voice called softly.

She turned to see her father standing a few feet away, his posture stiff, his expression conflicted. "May I speak with you?" he asked, his voice barely audible.

Victoria's breath caught. She hadn't seen him in years. For a moment, she hesitated, memories of pain and rejection flooding her mind. But then she noticed the tears in his eyes and the tremor in his hands.

"Of course," she said, her voice steady despite the turmoil within her.

Mrs. Caldwell approached cautiously, her steps hesitant. "We...we were wrong, Victoria," she began, her voice trembling. "We let our fears blind us. Seeing you today... hearing you... I..." Her words faltered, replaced by quiet sobs.

"It's okay," Victoria said softly, though her heart ached. "It's been a long time."

Before her parents could respond, Fedrick appeared at her side. His presence was steadying, his gaze warm but measured. "Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell," he greeted with a slight nod. Then, turning to Victoria, his voice softened. "You were magnificent."

Victoria's cheeks flushed. "Thank you," she murmured.

Samuel tugged at her sleeve. "Vic, are you coming home with us?" he asked, his wide eyes filled with hope.

Victoria knelt, brushing a strand of hair from his face. "I... I'll think about it, Sammy," she said gently.

Behind them, Mr. Caldwell cleared his throat. "We need to talk, Victoria. All of us. Please, come by the house."

Victoria hesitated, glancing at Fedrick, who gave her an encouraging nod. "All right," she said finally. "I'll come."

As her parents walked away, Fedrick lingered, his expression thoughtful. "It's good to see them trying," he said. "They're proud of you. It's written all over their faces."

Victoria folded her hands, her expression unreadable. "I don't know what to think," she admitted. "It's been so long. I thought... I thought they'd forgotten me."

Fedrick's voice was firm but gentle. "No one could forget you, Victoria."

Before she could respond, a sharp voice rang out from the back of the church. "Victoria!"

She turned quickly, her heart pounding as she recognized the figure striding toward her. The urgency in their expression froze her in place.

"There's something you need to know... right now."

"And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."
