You and David were thrown together by your wealthy families, bound by an arranged marriage designed to strengthen business ties. From the moment you met, there was an undeniable tension—not the romantic kind, but a charged atmosphere fueled by mutual disdain. Your fiery spirit clashed with David's brooding demeanor, and every interaction was filled with sarcasm and icy glares.

Yet, beneath the surface of your animosity, something deeper began to grow. Late-night conversations turned into shared laughter, and those stolen glances revealed a hint of admiration that neither of you dared to acknowledge. You were like two sides of the same coin, each secretly longing for the other while keeping up the facade of hatred.

As days turned into months, the lines between love and hate started to blur. You found yourself drawn to David’s hidden kindness, while he admired your strength and resilience. You became each other's greatest rivals and secret supporters, both convinced that the other would never feel the same. In the silence of your hearts, you were already in love, but pride held you back from confessing, leaving your true feelings trapped beneath layers of pretense.

One day, David came home drunk, and you were sitting on the couch watching a movie.
