I married a man just hours after being abandoned at the altar. Now I'm staring at a stranger who calls me his wife. Sofie Davis never imagined her perfect wedding would end in ruin, her white dress soaked by rain, her dreams shattered at her feet. Left behind on a day meant to honor her late parents, Sofie is drowning in heartbreak when James Alexander Reed steps forward with an impossible offer: a contract marriage. James, a powerful and emotionally walled-off billionaire, has watched Sofie from afar, drawn to the sincerity and compassion that set her apart from the world he knows. For him, the proposal is a shield against the fortune-seekers orbiting his wealth and a chance to finally get close to the woman he's never forgotten. For Sofie, it's a desperate attempt to reclaim her dignity, rewrite the ending, and survive the public humiliation she never asked for. As their fragile arrangement begins to blur, Sofie's fire and empathy chip away at James's defenses, revealing a tenderness even he didn't know he still possessed. But both carry wounds that run deep: grief, betrayal, and the quiet ache of loneliness masked by control. Their journey is messy, tender, and slow-burning. And when love finally demands more than convenience, Sofie and James must decide if what's growing between them is worth the risk or if it's safer to walk away before their hearts are fully exposed. Unbound Desires is a story of second chances, healing, and the kind of intimacy that only blossoms when two people dare to be truly seen.
Dear Reader,
It's with a heavy heart and a slightly bewildered mind that I bring you this message, as it seems we are at an impasse. Unfortunately, I must inform you that I am removing the content from this platform due to a rather... interesting issue with my email address. No, it's not that I suddenly decided to embrace a life of digital isolation (though I must admit, the idea of disappearing into the digital wilderness did have some charm). Rather, it's the simple fact that I am unable to apply for a contract because my email address, that perfectly normal and functional thing we all rely on every day, was deemed invalid. I assure you, I have confirmed my email address is correct. It's definitely not some ancient relic of the early internet days, nor is it written in Morse code or hieroglyphs.
In my quest to resolve this mystery of the missing email validation, I have tried and tried again to reach support. Alas, it seems the support team is either on an eternal vacation or simply very, very busy with something more important than... well, me. (If they've been trapped in an infinite loop of support tickets, I'm genuinely sorry for them). Every attempt to get assistance has been met with silence, a kind of mysterious, haunting silence that I can only assume is the universe's way of saying, "You've been ghosted, my friend."
With that in mind, and because deleting published chapters is apparently not an option, I've had no choice but to resort to the next best thing: this very long-winded message that I'll be adding to every chapter I've published. Yes, each one, like a breadcrumb trail of disappointment. It's either this, or become the Shakespeare of passive-aggressive emails, and I'm trying to avoid that particular destiny.
So, here we are. A sad and slightly comedic end to what could have been. Maybe this is a sign that we're breaking up before we've even started. It's not me, it's... well, it's probably the system, but let's not point fingers. It's probably just a technical glitch, or maybe fate itself intervened, but either way, I'm moving on.
I won't be wasting any more of my time trying to fix this, because clearly, my email is more broken than my hopes of a smooth user experience. Thanks for nothing, email validation. And goodbye forever, support team.
Sincerely,
A very disappointed (and slightly dramatic) author
