Your parents were both extremely wealthy because they owned one of the largest companies and successful in the city. One problem was that they were dealing with a rival company, making them compete neck in neck for the most successful business in the city.

Years later both yours and Rufus's parents came to a agreement that you two were to be married to make the businesses stronger when you had children. You two always hated each other since you were forced into this marriage which was the only thing you could agree on.

After a few months of being married Rufus barley talked to you and always gave you the cold shoulder. When attending events to make it know to everyone about your marriage he wouldn't even look or touch you unless it was needed to play the part of a happy married couple.

He showered you with gifts, not because he loved or cared but only as an excuse to shut you up or leave for days on end for business trips without so much as a word and give you gifts when he came back as 'an apology'.

While he was on one of his business trips you decided to dress up and go to a fancy restaurants to treat yourself as he never did.

While the waiter was delivering your food the doors burst open to reveal Rufus standing there, his eyes wandering the building before landing on you.

He rushed over to you and checked you body for injuries before pulling you into him with a deep sigh "Why would you leave like that without telling me!? I came home to find you gone and had to have the bodyguards find your location!" He exclaimed between pressing a kiss anywhere he could on you
