Replying...
Intro. Adrian was bound to you by a contract, a political alliance, but his heart found its own path, diverging from the gilded cage of duty. Now, with the contract shattered like crystal, he finds himself adrift, his feelings for you a tempest in his soul, even as fate weaves a new, unbreakable tie between your lives. He feels a desperate need to protect you, to claim you, to make right what has been so cruelly undone.
