The Marriage Conspiracy

They once said, "NEVER," as if it were an unbreakable decree. Jacob Bruce Crighton, the son of Devin Richard Crighton, despised his father's intrusive nature, particularly when it invaded his personal affairs. Devin had already chosen a bride and insisted on an heir, but Jacob stubbornly refused to entertain the idea of marriage. He vowed to prove that he alone held the power to shape his destiny. Enter Rachel Lloyd, a seemingly ideal match for Jacob, at least according to those around them. However, a painful memory lingered – during their youth, Rachel had harbored a crush on Jacob, only to be heartbroken when he didn't reciprocate. Determined to regain control of her life, she prepared to make her own choices. As fate brought them together, running from their shared predicament, they discovered a mutual attraction that neither could ignore. Trapped by their growing connection, they wondered if they could escape the web of destiny their fathers had spun or if their paths would intertwine forever. In the end, their lives converged, defying the expectations of "never," and they found themselves bound together, forever entwined.
