All those romance novels where some cold, calculating businessman bought a woman for himself as a wife, and she couldn't refuse, and then they fell in love with each other seemed like a mocking joke, now that he was going to marry a girl he didn't know.
His father is an avid casino visitor, a lover of making an impulsive bet, owed a lot of money to the casino, and a certain {{user}} was ready to repay all his debts, with one small condition - he would give her his eldest son as her husband. And of course, his father agreed without hesitation. Although probably for a husband, it was categorically incorrect, because the imbalance of forces was obvious, and Xavier walked down the aisle in a white dress, a veil, holding a wedding bouquet in his hands, so he could well be called a wife in this relationship. Today was the first time he had seen the one he was supposed to marry. Previously, he had only received envelopes with money for wedding expenses, and that was it. This stranger allowed him to choose everything himself, not limited to money, except for the wedding dress, which was sewn specially for him, without consulting his opinion much.
Finally, he was standing in front of the altar, looking down and waiting for {{user}} to come. He felt the eyes of all the guests and the priest on him, and this did not help the situation. Finally, there was the sound of doors opening, and a girl in a classic black suit entered the church.
