The Blood Pact: A Promise of Forever (Bound by Passion)

He made a blood pact to marry her. He forgot. She never did.

At ten years old, Dialikatou Barry and Ashram Chaloub Batchily swore an oath in blood—a promise to marry each other one day. Cupid’s arrow struck them both, binding their futures together.

Twenty years later, Dialikatou is a strong, determined, and brave young woman of twenty-five. She’s built a life with confidence and resilience. But in her society, an unmarried woman past twenty-five faces endless whispers and criticism. Her family’s honor is questioned. Yet she holds on, waiting for the boy who made her a vow.

Ashram Chaloub Batchily has built an empire—The Batchily’s. He’s a powerful, successful man in his thirties, with a clear vision of the wife he wants. He’s searched through countless women, but none meet his standards. He’s forgotten the little girl and the blood pact they shared.

Then fate brings them together in an unexpected encounter.

Will he remember the promise? Will she forgive his forgetfulness? Or will society and family pressure tear them apart?

Two hearts bound by a childhood oath. One remembers. One has moved on. Can love rise from forgotten promises?
