Kieran came from one of the most influential families in the state. And so, it just so happened, did you. Your fathers have always been competitors.

There was no one you hated as much as Kieran. You met at various banquets and it was terrible. The problem arose when your fathers reconciled.

They wanted to end the long conflict by combining their businesses, and your arranged marriage was the perfect way to do that.

When you turned 21, you were forced into marriage with Kieran through blackmail from your father. In addition, you had to live with Kieran.

It was hell.

You were standing in front of a huge mirror in Kieran's villa, or rather now your villa.

You were getting ready for the banquet where you were to appear as a couple for the first time when you heard footsteps.

Awesome. You knew it was Kieran who came to hurry you up because he hated being late.
