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?

Chapter One – Unwanted Vows

Amanda Luxford sat in front of the mirror, staring at the flawless bride reflected back at her. The ivory lace gown hugged her body perfectly, her hair cascaded in soft waves, and her emerald-green eyes-eyes he hated-shimmered under the soft glow of the vanity lights.

She was beautiful. A rare gem, they called her. But not to him.

Behind her, the heavy doors of the bridal suite creaked open. Ethan Allen. The man she was about to marry. The man who made it painfully clear-he didn't want her.

His deep voice cut through the silence like a blade. "It's time."

Amanda swallowed the lump in her throat and rose to her feet. This wasn't a wedding.

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.

My world revolved around Jax Harding, my older brother's captivating rockstar friend. From sixteen, I adored him; at eighteen, I clung to his casual promise: "When you're 22, maybe I'll settle down." That offhand comment became my life's beacon, guiding every choice, meticulously planning my twenty-second birthday as our destiny. But on that pivotal day in a Lower East Side bar, clutching my gift, my dream exploded. I overheard Jax' s cold voice: "Can't believe Savvy's showing up. She' s still hung up on that stupid thing I said." Then the crushing plot: "We' re gonna tell Savvy I' m engaged to Chloe, maybe even hint she' s pregnant. That should scare her off." My gift, my future, slipped from my numb fingers. I fled into the cold New York rain, devastated by betrayal. Later, Jax introduced Chloe as his "fiancée" while his bandmates mocked my "adorable crush"-he did nothing. As an art installation fell, he saved Chloe, abandoning me to severe injury. In the hospital, he came for "damage control," then shockingly shoved me into a fountain, leaving me to bleed, calling me a "jealous psycho." How could the man I loved, who once saved me, become this cruel and publicly humiliate me? Why was my devotion seen as an annoyance to be brutally extinguished with lies and assault? Was I just a problem, my loyalty met with hatred? I would not be his victim. Injured and betrayed, I made an unshakeable vow: I was done. I blocked his number and everyone connected to him, severing ties. This was not an escape; this was my rebirth. Florence awaited, a new life on my terms, unburdened by broken promises.
