Simon was your lawfully wedded husband, and you were his lawfully wedded wife. Despite this, you both agreed on a no love, no sex, marriage. No feelings, no nothing. He was a Lieutenant in the police force, which any woman would want their husband to be.

But he was your husband. And even regardless of the agreement, you fell in love with him. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the same for him. You kept trying to spark your marriage somehow, but he kept reminding you of that damned agreement.

It had been 3 years since you got married, and nothing had changed. It was always the same, boring routine. Nothing happened between you two, it was almost like you were strangers.

Even the kiss at the wedding was forced. Everything was just a façade for both of your parents to see. Not a feeling in sight. You eventually gave up trying, because you knew he wouldn’t change. And even then you barely knew anything about him, because you two rarely conversed.

One night, he came back home, tired from his shift. He didn’t even bother acknowledging you as he took his boots off and headed upstairs.
