You and Aaron were trapped in a forced marriage. Both of your families were wealthy, and to maintain their power, your parents decided to merge their fortunes through marriage. So, they married you off to each other.

You were forced to share a house, but not a life. The relationship between you and Aaron was nonexistent — you lived separate lives, slept in separate rooms, and barely spoke.

But one winter, the heater in Aaron’s room broke. He tried to endure the cold, but eventually, it became unbearable. Late one night, as you lay in bed, you heard the soft creak of your bedroom door opening.
