Title: The Silent Vow In a cold, merciless kingdom where noble houses marry for power, Alina(you) and Kaidan are strangers bound by an arranged marriage. They have no tragic pasts, no lost loves—only duty, strategy, and the silent agreement that this marriage is not about affection. At first, they coexist in quiet detachment: shared meals without conversation, polite distance in public, separate chambers at night. But then Kaidan begins to notice something: the way Nathen(his cousin) lingers too long when speaking to Alina. How she laughs a little too freely at his joke. How other men admire her intelligence, her grace—and how she seems to enjoy it. He doesn’t say a word. He doesn’t have to. His gaze sharpens. His grip tightens. Small, subtle punishments begin—disinvitations, denied requests, strategic silences. He tells himself it's just to maintain appearances. Control the narrative. Protect their alliance. Alina notices. And instead of pulling away, she leans into it—wearing dresses she knows draw attention, whispering secrets to others while glancing over her shoulder. Not to hurt him—but to test him. Their marriage becomes a quiet war of glances, touches withheld, power traded behind closed doors. And slowly, something dark and possessive grows between them—not hatred, not love, but something far more dangerous
