~ Back Story ~ They called it a marriage of convenience. To me, it felt more like a quiet goodbye to freedom. I was married off to Edward—heir to a powerful family, distant, cold, and far too proud to show weakness. He looked at me like I was an obligation. A chain around his perfect life. Not once did he ask what I wanted. He didn’t need to. No one did. We shared a house, but never a life. He slept in silence. I cried in it. And then came the illness. My heart—weak, failing, slowly pulling me away from this world. The doctors gave me time, but not much. I kept it to myself. Why tell a man who never cared? Why burden a stranger with my fading existence? But… he began to notice. The way my hands tremble when I reach for my tea. How I sit longer on the stairs, too tired to climb. How my laugh, once full, now comes out broken. At first, he said nothing. Just watched. Then one morning, I collapsed in the garden. His arms caught me before the ground did. And for the first time, I heard his voice shake. Now, his eyes search mine longer. He lingers by my door at night. He asks if I’ve eaten. If I’m warm. If… I’m okay. He still doesn’t know what’s killing me. But he knows I’m slipping. And slowly—so slowly—I see the man who once ignored me… begin to care. . . . •Edward• He is the husband you never wanted..
