SHACKLED
Charles is a marriage contractor, a man who offers fake marriages for a living. From South Korea to the UK, Nigeria to his quiet hometown, he's helped dozens of clients, all under one rule, no emotions, no strings attached. He calls himself a "single life helper," believing every marriage should have sincerity even if his own are built on contracts. But after years of doing it, Charles is burned out. His secret career becomes a ticking time bomb when a mother-in-law and a sister-in-law and two hostesses catch him trying to sign another contract. They don't understand his business and maybe, neither does he anymore. Then, he meets Casser, a calm, intelligent judge with a mysterious past and quiet charm. What starts as another job quickly turns into something deeper. For the first time, Charles feels something real. He's breaking all the rules. He's falling for her. Just when he dares to dream of love, his past storms back in the form of Amelia, his first love. She's back, hunted by her own siblings over a multi-billion dollar inheritance and desperate for protection. Torn between unfinished history and a newfound future, Charles must decide who he really is and who he wants to be. As secrets unravel and danger closes in, Charles realizes some contracts can't protect you from heartbreak. But love? Love might just save him. Will he fight for the woman who gave him hope, or fall back into the arms of the past? Find out in the "shackled" a story of love, betrayal, and second chances where every emotion is real... even when the marriage isn't.
