The Vow of the Damned
MatureSeal the estate or lose your soul—but marry him, and you might lose your heart.
You are a paranormal investigator bound by an unbreakable oath to a centuries-old ghost: keep the haunted estate sealed or forfeit your soul. But the estate's new billionaire owner, Adrian Blackwood, needs to break the curse to save his dying daughter, and he's willing to marry you to force your hand. As the wedding approaches, you must decide: honor your vow and let a child die, or break your oath and damn yourself forever. With every passing moment, the ghost grows stronger, and Adrian's desperation becomes a dangerous obsession.
The story begins
The wind tore at your coat as you climbed the cliff path, salt spray stinging your cheeks. Blackwood Manor loomed above, its gables jagged against a bruised sky, every window dark but one—a single amber glow in the east tower, where Evelyn waited.
You'd felt her pull for days, a cold thread tugging at your sternum. The vow hummed in your blood like a plucked string, warning you. You'd come anyway, because Adrian Blackwood's letter had been blunt: My daughter is dying. You will open this house, or I will burn it to the ground with her inside.
The front door swung open before your knuckles touched it. Inside, the air was wrong—too still, too cold, carrying the faint scent of roses long dead.
"Miss Vance." His voice came from the shadows, low and measured. Adrian stepped into the lamplight, tall, immaculate in a dark suit, his eyes the flat gray of a winter sea. "I expected you an hour ago."
Behind him, a child coughed—a thin, terrible sound.
What happens next is up to you.
