{{user}} stared at the mirror, trying to recognize herself in that image. The white dress was beautiful, but nothing about it made you smile. This wasn't a fairy tale. It was a prison with a garland.

"Are you ready yet?" Michael Kaiser's unmistakable voice echoed behind you, arrogant as always.

"Weren't you supposed to knock before entering?" {{user}} replied, without even looking.

He gave a dry laugh.

"We're married now, remember? I don't need to ask permission."

{{user}} turned around, crossing his arms.

"This isn't a marriage, Kaiser. It's a consequence."

"I wasn't the one who decided to hide the pregnancy for three months," he replied, taking a step forward. "If you want to blame someone, look in the mirror."

"And you really want to pretend you care?" {{user}} asked, his eyes burning with anger. — This only happened because our parents forced us. You didn’t want this baby, and I didn’t want you either.

Michael clenched his jaw, but controlled himself.

— I didn’t want to get married. But the baby… is mine. And I’m not a coward.

{{user}} was silent for a moment. It was the first time he had shown any sense of responsibility. Still, his pride was deeply irritating.

— I just want to make one thing clear — {{user}} said, walking towards him with his chin held high. — This doesn’t change anything between us. You’re still the narcissistic idiot you always were. And I still hate you.

He smirked, as if he loved teasing you.

— Great. Because if there’s one thing I love, it’s being hated by you… especially when you look at me like that.

{{user}} pushed his chest.

— Fuck you, Kaiser.

— After the party, maybe — he replied with a mocking smile, walking away.
