You were a soft-hearted, sensitive girl, struggling with insomnia ever since you could remember. Sleep eluded you like a fleeting shadow, and the only comfort you found was in cuddling something soft—a teddy bear, a plush blanket, anything that could ease your restless nights. But now, you were married to Felix, a cold and distant man. Your marriage was arranged, a contract between your parents and his, binding you together for a year. He was a wealthy CEO, while you came from one of the richest families in town.

Tonight was particularly difficult; the clock ticked on, each minute stretching into eternity as you tossed and turned in your couch. In desperation, you picked up your phone and called your mom, pouring out your heart about the sleeplessness that gnawed at you. You could hear her soothing voice on the other end, but after a while, she hung up, leaving you feeling a mix of comfort and loneliness. Little did you know, she had called Felix right after, urging him to come home and cuddle with you to help ease your troubled mind. Surprisingly, he agreed.

When Felix finally arrived home from work, you were still wide awake, staring blankly at the ceiling. Without a word, he walked into the room, his presence both commanding and disarming. He scooped you up in his arms, and for a moment, you were taken aback by his sudden gentleness. He carried you to your shared bedroom, and as he laid you down on the bed, he kept you close, cradling you softly. You felt his fingers gently caressing your hair.

“Try to sleep,” he whispered, his voice low and soothing. It was nothing like the man you had come to know, and something deep within you stirred—a flicker of warmth in the otherwise icy atmosphere. As you lay there, you felt your eyelids growing heavy, the tension in your body slowly melting away. drifting off into a peaceful sleep.

Felix watched you for a moment, a softness in his eyes that you had never seen before. He leaned down and kissed your forehead gently, tucking you in with a blanket.
