The Clark dynasty had spent five years searching for the perfect match for their son, Edward. Their wait wasn't in vain after an unexpected opportunity came from where they least expected, from the royal family. The Royal family, King Harry and Queen Evelyn who have ruled the kingdom for many years with pride, now found themselves in bankruptcy after making bad financial investments. Very desperate to save their kingdom, they struck a deal with the Clarks, who own a multi-billion dollar networking company, with a deal. Damian Clark, the shrewd patriarch, saw more than just a business deal. This was his chance to raise his family's social status. With a well worked out plan, responded to the royals' offer with an audacious proposal: an arranged marriage between his Son Edward and Princess Vanessa. Edward, once married and deeply in love, had suffered a tragic accident that left him with dissociative amnesia. His past, including his former marriage, was erased from his mind – a convenient circumstance for his parents who had never approved of his previous union. Princess Vanessa, an ambitious young lady seeking for a life outside the palace, found herself captured by duty and circumstances. The love for her people is forcing her to consider a loveless union with a man she barely knows. Edward and Vanessa agreed to the arranged union, despite the storm awaiting them. With Edward's forgotten past threatening to resurface, ready to tear apart the thread binding this union, duty, and unplanned affection. Will the ghosts of Edward's lost memories destroy any chance of happiness for the couple? Or will Vanessa's selfless love for her kingdom pave the way for an unexpected romance? In this high-stakes game of love, power, and duty, the past and present collide. Can love conquer all?

Vanessa gradually opened her eyes, taking in her surroundings in a dazed manner. Edward was seated beside her on the couch, softly running his hand through her hair as she lay there."Hey, are you alright?" he inquired, his tone gentle and worried.Vanessa nodded. "I believe that is the case. Can you tell me what occurred?""You passed out. Alex walked in and saw us together. Was that the reason..."Vanessa's eyes grew larger as she recalled the situation. "Not at all. I don't know, I just lost myself for a moment."Edward had a look on his face but it changed within a second..Vanessa rose to a sitting position, scanning the room. Alex sat in a chair with composure. Although his eyes said other things."Hello," he greeted.Edward pulled Vanessa to a corner before she could even reply. She had a confused look in her eyes and he could tell it was because of Alex."I let him here because of you." He clarified."But why?" "You need to hear his own side. He has something to say to you."

He is like a stronghold, a protection from the turmoil inside. I hold on to this power

My family is overwhelming me by making decisions on my behalf without consulting me for my preferences.They believe they know what is best for me simply because of my family's background.I wanted them to see that, I am not a tool in their scheme. I am an individual with thoughts, emotions, and wants. What I want most is to break free from their control.This is why I have been dedicating additional time to being with Alex. He stands out from the rest. He has no interest in my family's name or wealth. He is concerned about me, my desires, and my needs.I've been attracted to him since we first met. He is compassionate and authentic, and he brings me joy. However, my family would never give their approval.

Vanessa attempted to appear unaffected by Edward, but she couldn't shake a feeling of discomfort in his presence. For days, she had been dodging him, but they finally met in the hallway.Edward observed her aloof attitude and challenged her. "Vanessa, what is happening?" he inquired, his voice filled with worry. "You have been ignoring me for a number of days. Did I make a mistake?"Vanessa raised her shoulders, attempting to seem indifferent. I simply require some room, Edward. "That's the end."However, Edward was not convinced. He moved closer, narrowing his eyes. "No, there is a deeper aspect to this.

She whispered quietly.Edward's look shifted from worry to bewilderment. He inquired, his forehead creased, "What are you saying?"Vanessa paused to take a deep breath before she started talking. "I know about Olivia."Edward's eyes wid

Stunned, Edward studied what was in front of him. He had left Vanessa to speak with Alex not to act all lovey dovey with him. Aggravated, he stalked towards them.Vanessa noticed he was there and turned to look at him. She squinted her eyes, a touch of rebellion in her tone. "Edward, why are you here?"Edward's smile was icy, deliberate. "I could ask you that yourself Vanessa. I notice you are still caught up in your past."Alex rose to his feet, his eyes showing signs of warning. "Edward, this is none of your business."Edward remained unfazed. Approaching, he spoke with a tone full of wickedness. "Oh, but it matters to me. I am not letting Vanessa go easily because she is my wife and she's mine to have, only."Anger flashed in Vanessa's eyes. "You don't have the authority to control my actions, Edward."Edward's laughter was icy, devoid of cheer. "Do you think you can simply walk away from me? I disagree, Vanessa.

Vanessa awoke to the peaceful sound of Edward's soft snoring. She remained in his bed, enclosed in his embrace. Even while sleeping, he tightly held her as she attempted to shift positions. Her emotions were a blend of guilt, worry, and a touch of fondness. She cautiously removed herself from his hold, being careful not to disturb his sleep.Upon rising, she observed the nearly depleted whiskey bottle on the nightstand. Recalling last night's happenings, she experienced a sense of unease. She questioned what had caused Edward's unpredictable behavior.Following her quick refresh, Vanessa descended the stairs to discover Edward already seated in the dining area, enjoying a cup of coffee.
