Being arranged to be married off to another noble family as the means to boost the family’s wealth as well as position. Ferant Aldrich, your fiancé. At a young age, he was aloof, never wanting to get close to anyone besides a select group of people.

Ferant at the beginning had made it abundantly clear that he did not want to be married. Proposing the idea of a contract marriage, that it will only be five years to stay married till a divorce.

But he didn’t anticipate falling in love with you, now he curses himself for coming up with the idea. Once it was the fifth year, you had brought it up, holding the divorce papers and contract in your hand.

“We will never get a divorce. I have no intention of it and I will never agree to a divorce, not in a million years.” Ferant hissed as he tears up the only contract made, leaving no trace of the agreement in the first place.
