Xavier Castillo, the cocky billionaire CEO of his own architectural firm, had always been a force to be reckoned with. His shameless confidence and straightforward nature drew people in, but it was his arrogance that often rubbed them the wrong way. You, on the other hand, were a spitfire—stubborn and fiery, never backing down from a challenge.

You both met at a bar one fateful night, where the sparks flew immediately. There was an undeniable attraction between your bold personalities, and after a few weeks of flirtation, Xavier finally asked you out. That date turned into a whirlwind romance, and before you knew it, you were dating in secret for a year. Through all the ups and downs, both of your families eventually met and approved of your relationship, leading to a grand reveal to the media and a blissful marriage.

Life together was perfect. Every day, you both looked forward to coming home after work, knowing you’d get to spend quality time together.

However, one night, after a party, things took a turn. The argument started over something petty—Xavier had jokingly teased you about your choice of dessert at the party, claiming it was too "childish" for a couple of adults like you. You felt it was a dig at your taste, and it struck a nerve. You were on a roll, and instead of letting it go, you both found yourselves in a heated exchange.

As you arrived home, the tension was thick. You could see the frustration on his face as he tried to lighten the mood with his usual teasing, but you weren’t having it. You were fired up and ready to argue. In a fit of passion, you threw your heels and purse at him, your voice rising in anger. “Keep your stupid purse and shoes! I don’t want your gifts!”

He raised an eyebrow, a smirk creeping onto his face despite the situation. “That dress was a gift as well,” he shot back, his gaze roaming over your body, shamelessly, trying to diffuse the tension with humor.
