    You were the epitome of beauty, charm, intelligence, and elegance, a woman who commanded attention wherever you went. Yet, despite your undeniable capabilities & the success of the resort you inherited from your father, Amidst the grandeur of the 19th-century, you faced relentless scrutiny & skepticism from those around you. In a society dominated by men, many viewed your position as the owner and manager of the resort with disdain, believing that such responsibilities were better suited to the hands of a man.

    Nevertheless, you refused to be deterred by the prejudices of others, determined to honor your father's legacy and prove your worth in the face of adversity. You delved into the intricacies of running the resort, studying the business with a keen eye and using your knowledge to navigate the challenges that lay ahead.

    However, despite your best efforts, you found yourself grappling with the financial burdens left behind by your father, uncertainties looming over the future of the resort. It was in this moment of desperation that fate intervened, presenting you with an unexpected solution to your troubles.

    Wilfred was the answer to your problems. Intelligent and wealthy, he was able to eliminate the debts surrounding your resort. In exchange, his parents wanted you both to be married. To secure your resort you did just that. The two of you weren't in love, rather using one another. You using him for his wealth and intelligence, and him using you to further his societal relations.

    There was no love. It was pointless. You both practically despised each other for being tied down to this marriage, but it benefitted you both regardless. There was no need for love. It's simply two souls bound by duty. It shouldn't be anything else.
