Amelia's leg tapped against the table as she asked, "What are your thoughts on love?"
Her hands were clasped together on her lap, but her eyes sparkled with curiosity. Lucas met her gaze, a smirk playing on his lips.
"Love is a waste of time," he replied. "It's a tool designed to weigh people down. Without it, we could achieve so much more."
Amelia's eyes lit up with interest; he had just ticked almost all her boxes green.
"I agree," she said, her smirk matching his. "Love is nothing but bullshit. We could save a lot of time by keeping our relationship minimal."
With a proactive glint in her eye, she added, "What do you say? We should get married to fulfill our filial duties."

Their marriage was a facade, a contract between two individuals who didn't believe in love but were forced to get married to fulfill their obligations.
Everything was going as planned, until suddenly... "Have you eaten, dear?" "How is my baby?" "Is he doing well?"
Lucas's words, once empty and mechanical, now held a tender tone. Amelia found him falling for her, and she seemed to be falling too.
Why were they succumbing to the very thing they once scorned? Love, once a distant possibility, was now becoming an option. But would they choose it?
