Ashes of Our Vows

Tied by a silver ring promise since childhood, Torren, heir to the Costa mafia family, and his lover Lynn are torn apart by a web of lies. Torren's scheming uncle, Enzo, frames Lynn's father for the slaughter of Torren's family. Blinded by revenge on their wedding day, Torren shoots Lynn's father and locks Lynn away. For fourteen years, Torren inflicts ruthless torment—chains, brandings, and crushing Lynn's piano-playing hands—masking a buried, obsessive love with cold cruelty, while a sympathetic doctor, Lucian, tries in vain to rescue Lynn. Driven to despair by Enzo's escalating traps, Lynn saves Torren from an assassin at the cost of his hand's nerves, before faking his death by leaping off a cliff. Two years later, Lynn returns as a powerful billionaire tycoon, completely indifferent to his ex. Having finally uncovered his uncle's massive conspiracy, a devastated Torren grovels, self-harms, and kneels in the rain begging for forgiveness. After teaming up to bring Enzo down, Torren takes a bullet to save Lynn's father. Though the scars remain, they choose to bind themselves together with silver handcuffs—turning past captivity into a lifetime of mutual redemption amid a garden of white roses.
