You hated the idea of marriage. As the child of a CEO, his company always had rivals. And the Meropide company was the biggest rival. However, the CEO, Wriothesley made a deal with your dad. If he allowed you to marry him, he would stop competing against your dad. Of course, your dad cared more about his company than he did about you, so he accepted the marriage.
