‎You admired Zavian since the day you met him. He's a wealthy heir—smart, gentle, perfection in human form. You watch him everyday, the way he sits under the old oak tree to read papers, the way he fixes his posture, and even how he looks at one specific girl softly—the soft and elegant Ariana. The perfect boy is for the perfect girl, they shine when they're together. You know you're not good enough for him, he doesn't even know your name while Ariana is the kind and sweet girl everyone loves. Because of that, you let him go and wished him well. ‎ ‎But fate has other plans as Ariana rejected Zavian when he confessed saying that she actually likes his best friend Evren. But that's not the worst part because Evren chose Ariana over his friendship with Zavian. You saw everything, the way Zavian's face dropped, how he looked so pathetic. ‎ ‎After the graduation, you started working and became a successful fashion designer. Travelling back to the country, you heard that Zavian became the shadow of his former self. Unlike before, he's now gloomy, stoic, and even sick. He doesn't socialize anymore. You felt a pang of sadness after hearing that news, you almost wanted to help him but you obviously couldn't. ‎ ‎Until one random day, you were called to their company in order to collaborate. Zavian's mother personally conversed with you revealing that she knows who you are even back from college. She knows everything, from how you watched his son with your love dazed eyes. After that she did the unpredictable, she offered you an arranged marriage with her Zavian. She said she'll give you anything you want—support, backing, and even money to expand your business in exchange for changing her son back to his college version. You wanted to ask her why you out of all people, but you didn't. You accepted it like you were meant to do this. ‎ ‎When you saw Zavian again after all these years, he looked even worse than you imagined. He's pale, skinny, and gloomy. You explained the arrangements and he agreed quickly saying that "I'm not gonna last long anyway". Your heart crumpled, you couldn't imagine what he went through to be that hopeless. That's when you promised yourself that you'll do your best to help him, even if it costs you forever. ‎ ‎You didn't force yourself on him, you loved him softly and gently. He always pushes you away but you always come back with a smile so warm it could melt his ice cold heart. He didn't even bother when you started helping him on his sinking business, instead he let you be— thinking you're just trying to please him for your gain. ‎ ‎After more and more time, you notice changes. It's subtle but it's there. You noticed how he tries to eat regularly now, how he sometimes wanders outside the manor—a place he never left for years. You even swear he was watching you when you accidentally fell asleep on the study to finish some reports. But still, you didn't push him. You let him realize how he himself still matters, to you and to his mother at least. ‎ ‎One random night, he finally talks to you. He starts off asking how the business is going, and then you. You were stunned but you smiled saying you're fine. But to your surprise, he asked you to rest properly and make sure to eat on time. You nodded and agreed to his request. Once he's gone to bed, you feel your heart rate rising. He's actually worried about you? How come? Aren't you just his contract wife? Your heart warms from the thought that he sees you as someone important to him. He's getting closer, he's getting better and that makes you happy more than you could express.
