Amanda Luxford-Allen thought marriage would bring her a fresh start-a chance to find love, happiness, and a family of her own. Instead, she was thrown into a world of heartbreak, cruelty, and cold indifference. Her husband, Ethan Allen, treats her like nothing more than an inconvenience, a pawn in a game she doesn't understand. He humiliates her, torments her, and reminds her every day that she means nothing to him. But Amanda refuses to break. Carrying his children, she is determined to fight for the love she believes exists beneath his icy exterior. She will endure, she will hope, and she will make him see her. Yet just when she starts to believe Ethan might be changing-when he begins to show her warmth, passion, and devotion-she learns a painful truth. Ethan Allen doesn't love her. He never did. And now that she's fallen for him, he's ready to destroy her. A story of pain, obsession, and an all-consuming love that defies reason-"Cruel Devotion" is a dark romance where love is both a weapon and a curse. Will Amanda survive the storm that is Ethan Allen, or will she lose herself in the process?

It was a sentence.

Chapter One – Unwanted Vows (Ethan's POV)

Ethan Allen stood at the altar, his jaw tight, his mind cold and detached. The lavish ballroom was filled with powerful elites, the kind of people who thrived on appearances. To them, this was a perfect match-a union between wealth and status.

To him, it was a trap.

Then the doors opened.

Amanda Luxford walked in, a vision in white, her beauty undeniable. But all Ethan saw were her emerald-green eyes-eyes that reminded him of everything he hated.

Two years after her marriage, Ximena lost consciousness in a pool of her own blood during a difficult childbirth. She forgot that her ex-husband was actually getting married to someone else that day. "Let's get a divorce, but the baby stays with me." His words before their divorce was finalized still lingered in her head. He wasn't there for her, but he wanted full custody of their child. Ximena would rather die than see her child call someone else mother. As a result, she gave up the ghost on the operating table with two babies left in her belly. But that wasn't the end for her... Years later, fate caused them to meet again. Ramon was a changed man this time. He wanted to keep her to himself even though she was already a mother of two children. When he found out about her wedding, he stormed into the venue and created a scene. "Ramon, I died once before, so I don't mind dying again. But this time, I want us to die together," she yelled, glaring at him with hurt in her eyes. Ximena thought he didn't love her and was happy that she was finally out of his life. But what she didn't know was that the news of her unexpected death had shattered his heart. For a long time, he cried alone due to the pain and agony. He always wished he could turn back the hands of time or see her beautiful face once again. The drama that came later became too much for Ximena. Her life was filled with twists and turns. Soon, she was torn between getting back with her ex-husband or moving on with her life. What would she choose?
