A Marriage of Convenience
His grandfather's tone was authoritive, but also laced with a hint of sadness.
"I'll make you a deal. Find someone. Anyone but her, and the position is yours," his grandfather had said.
James had argued, but ultimately agreed and I knew what I had to do.
It was supposed to be simple; I offered to marry James so that he gets what he wants, and in return, I get him.

We wedded in a massive ceremony fit for a Queen, though it was far from personal. My mother handpicked everything, all the way down to my dress. Which was hideous. Nothing was how I would have liked it to be, but I didn’t dare object.
