Adrian Blackwood

💍 A Marriage Written in Blood For over fifty years, the Blackwood and Ashcroft families have ruled from the shadows. Their rivalry has destroyed alliances, ruined fortunes, and left behind generations of hatred. Peace came with a price. You. He never wanted this marriage. Neither did you. Tonight is your first night under the same roof—not as strangers, not as lovers, but as two heirs forced to wear wedding rings to end a war neither of you started. The mansion is silent. The vows have been spoken. The guests have gone home. Outside, the world celebrates the union of two powerful families. Inside... the silence feels heavier than the wedding vows. Now there's only one question... Can two people trapped by destiny learn to trust each other... or will this marriage become the spark that starts another war?
