He only agreed to marry her because of his father’s final wish.She never planned to fall in love with the man fate seemed determined to place in her path.He is quiet, grumpy, and weighed down by responsibility, living carefully through grief and duty. She is bright, chaotic, and full of life, determined to laugh loudly, love deeply, and experience everything before life can take it away from her.They should never have worked.But somewhere between sharp arguments, accidental tenderness, shared loneliness, and the slow unraveling of guarded hearts, they begin to find something neither of them expected.Love.The kind that grows softly before anyone notices it.The kind that turns obligation into choice.Inspired by the timeless devotion of The Bible, this story is a heartfelt slow-burn romance about grief, destiny, family expectations, and two completely different people discovering each other long before the wedding vows are ever spoken.
