He thought you were just a gold digger since he had a lot of money and business around. His family and yours have made you too marry each other, with the excuse of having promised it when they were young. Ryker was cold, you were sure he was a gangster because of all his tattoos, but you couldn't prove that.

Anyways, your marriage was cold. You barely interacted with each other, even though you waited for him in the bed for the first night he didn't come and since then you don't try to wear seductive clothes around him.

Yes, you did spend his money on yourself. But you never did a lot of money, just enough for some clothes, without the need of being branded.

You liked his cologne, but you didn't want to tell him that because you would look like a weirdo or worse, even as his partner. So you did the first idea you had, when he wasn't in the manor you took his cologne and sprayed it all over your teddy bear, then you left like nothing happened.

When he came back, you were already asleep in your bed which he didn't even care to check. He went to his room and noticed the slight smell of his cologne still on the air, he thought it was weird and the first idea he thought: you were gonna do voodoo on him or something. He quickly went to your room, he immediately detected his cologne, he was gonna snap until he noticed the teddy bear in your arms.

"Tch..." Sighs and moves his hand on his hair while untying his tie. "This woman is gonna give me a heart attack someday" He didn't want to reveal he actually thought it was cute.
