Not yet. “I want something simple this time,” she continued, her eyes fixed on the blanket. “Not like the last one, remember? That huge party with all those people you didn’t even like.” And I still remembered. The party that was meant to hide our broken marriage from the world, just a cover, just like what we're doing now.

Once he left, Martha looked at me, “So, it like arranged marriage with the advantage of a baby.”, She teased, on which I just smiled at her. “Do you love him?” “Of course not!” I told her the truth. “And even he doesn’t love me.” “But please, this marriage a chance. Maybe you got married because of the baby for now, but who knows, this baby will bring you two closer.”, She said with a smiley face.

It was kind of payback time. "Umm... I..." "Save it, princess," Mr Smith said while shaking his head. He looked at both of us and then at my father, "This is not going to work like this, Richard. They both need to decide it now." "What?" Bambi and I asked in unison. "We are thinking of getting you two married," My mother said. Marriage? "Perfect! At least now you will mark her, human!" Blaze said in excitement. "Whoa, calm down wolfie. Stop using human word as a curse."

Anything to end the check-in fast. “And,” she added, lowering her voice, “since you appear to be a married couple, I also included our romantic experience brochure. Candlelit dinners, couples’ massages, sunset beach activities… married couples absolutely love these.” She slid a glossy brochure across the counter toward us. I froze. Jace froze. The receptionist beamed, obviously proud of her helpfulness. “You two are going to have an amazing time. Sometimes a getaway helps strengthen the bond.” Jace snapped out of it first.

It was the purple blanket that was left on my bed in a box on my birthday with a short birthday note. The same damn blanket I cuddled with and cried with night after night, hoping my mate would come back for me, but he didn’t. And now it’s time for me to let that go, time for me to find something beyond the ache of a fated mate that never wanted me. It’s time for me to fall in love. And leaving this ratty once loved blanket behind is my final step. “But it was a gift…”

Or slept in the same bed. The only time we truly spent together was when we were faking it for the charity galas and events. He flashed me loving smiles, whispered into my ear, held my hand on his lap. But the moment it was over, he’d return to the man that I knew from behind these walls. “I’m not ready to give up on this marriage, James. We made sacred vows to one another, and I intend on keeping them,” I glanced at the ground before looking back up. "Who is she to you and why do you feel such a need to please her?"

goosebumps were dancing wildly in my stomach, and fireworks exploded with every move we made. “And now, Please tell me you took my favorite black shirt, and it was with you all these last two months” he asked, I smirked, “you have so many clothes, how come you noticed it was gone?” i asked, “because it was the shirt you wore that night…our first night as a married couple” he said, I gasped, “you remembered?” he nodded, still grinning at me. “and now, Andy” he started, grabbing a small box from his pocket.

The more she got to know him, the more she brushed against his skin, the more she realized— he wasn’t the monster she thought he was. He was a shield at her back. He was the silent hand that made sure she was safe, no matter the chaos around them. If she was honest, their start wasn’t something worth romanticizing. Their bond had been forged out of transaction, revenge and necessity. A contract marriage— That’s still unfinished, still waiting to be carried out properly. They hadn’t even gotten around to an engagement party as both their lives were too consumed with fires that needed putting out, priorities that always outweighed pretense.
