Bound By Cruelty

Note: This story is a short novella (around 12,000 words, ~13 chapters) It’s a part of "3 Dark Tales" dark romance world, meant as a shorter, intense read.

If you want the full-length novel experience with 30+ chapters and deeper worldbuilding, check out my books like “A Matter of Honor” ($8.99).

Enter this world ~ and if you enjoy it, the longer ones await you 💋

"Write to your father."

"Why?" she whispered, her voice trembling.

"I'm divorcing you. Write him to take you away tomorrow."

Her world shattered. "What? No... please, I beg you!"

In a world where marriage is duty and power, she was a pawn-a plain, timid wife bound to a cruel nobleman who never wanted her. But when humiliation becomes her daily burden and love feels like a distant dream, how far can she go to survive the crushing weight of his cruelty?

He controls her fate. She clings to hope. But in his world, mercy is a foreign concept.
