A silence that felt, for once, like actual consideration rather than strategic pause. "You were not just being arranged into a marriage," he said. My breath slowed slightly. "What were I being arranged into?" "You were being secured," he said. The word sat wrong in the sentence, too cold, too specific, too much like the language of objects rather than people.

He chuckled. "But seriously!" I insisted. "That's crazy to me. I didn't realize arranged marriages were still a thing." "In many parts of the world, yes. It works for many people. It's just their way of life. Not everyone has arranged marriages in Iran, only the wealthy and religious. My bloodline comes from a very small population there, and they just coordinate marriages to prevent incest. But it's also, for them, about pleasing their god." "So is there a woman back in Iran waiting for you to come sweep her off her feet?"

Father’s voice held so much promise for discipline, that even mother was clearly frightened on Maeve’s behalf. I knew this was going to one day happen, after we had both clocked eighteen. Arranged marriage was very common and it’s automatically expected of every girl child who comes from a noble family, to get given to a man from another noble family in marriage, regardless of the man’s age. I had been in fright since I had clocked eighteen, dreading this coming day, and now that it was here, in as much as I was glad that it wasn’t my turn yet, I felt so much pity for Maeve right now.

"All right, now you can tell me what happened." As I watched Amber finish the water, I sat down beside her and asked softly. "Sigh..." Amber hung her head, sighed once again. "You know, Kayla, as a Newberry family woman, I've known from a young age that an arranged marriage is the responsibility I should bear. I've heard my cousins occasionally talk about their prospective spouses. I knew what my future would entail from the time I came of age.

It sounds like such a simple thing!"

"But Max... "Don't take a freedom that doesn't belong to you again, I'm not interested in you, or anyone in your family, I'm not here for pleasure..." Máximo growled with a clenched jaw. "Much less do I care to have you as my spouse..." And if you are chosen to marry me, do not think, not for a moment, that I will become a sweet and loving spouse, do not expect anything from me, I do not like you, I am not attracted to you at all, I do not even like you, you are no different from all the stupid girls who live throwing themselves before me...

She nodded. "Actually I am not interested in marriage or being in any relationship for that matter, but I have to do it for my brother because if I don't get married, he wouldn't agree to being in a relationship. I'm sure you don't want to get married too, at least not yet or get married to me for that matter because I heard from my Mom before we came here that you always rejected all your blind dates, so your Mom had to plan this" Winter quietly listened to him before finally gathering her courage to speak "I didn't say that"

It's a means for them to band together, form an alliance, and strengthen their family status through marriage. They put their children at jeopardy by doing so.
