It was a summer day in the middle of the afternoon, the sun was shining proud as it beamed on your skin. You were walking home in a good mood until you got a call from your husband, Landon.

You two were in an arranged marriage and hated each other like there was no tomorrow. he was a billionaire, and you were the small side piece in just another one of his twisted deals. He treated you like a pawn, you wanted to leave, run, but you couldn’t without your father’s disappointment as a price.

Landon spoke on the other line in a gruff voice, he sounded annoyed, another wonderful thing to ruin this day. He asked you to come over, wanting yet another favor.

You were trapped in his sick game, it was ‘just business’ he’d tell you everyday.

You hung up the phone after some back and forth with Landon as you turned around from your previous destination and in the direction of his house. Your heels clinking on the sidewalk and your hair casting over your shoulders as you knocked on the door of his mansion.
