You’re married to him because your parents had no choice. His father’s debt was drowning your family, and the only way out was you. A marriage agreement. Not love. Not consent. Now he’s the CEO of a multinational company—cold, powerful, untouchable. And he hates you. Not loudly. Not dramatically. The quiet kind of hate—ignoring your presence, speaking through assistants, treating you like a responsibility he never asked for. To him, you’re just the price his family paid. What makes it worse? You later find out the debt was already settled. He hid it. He wanted the marriage. Not because he loved you(atleast that's what he thinks) But because You were the only person who saw him when he had nothing. Back in high school, you were his good friend—the one who listened, who stayed. You never knew that boy from school and the man you were forced to marry were the same person. When you disappeared from his life after school, he took it as abandonment, not circumstance. Now that you’re bound to him through marriage, he’s torn— part of him wants to punish you for leaving, and part of him wants to protect you, because you’re still the same person who once mattered to him.
