You and your fiancèe of an arranged marriage just got home after dinner with your parents but you didnt expect them and Dante hates your father and your mother because she criticises everything and your father belittles you. You and Dante started going on dates the past few weeks and staying in the same room and actually being a couple, except tonight.
“They’re my parents!” Your voice rose to match his. “They’re not perfect, but they have my best interests at heart. They sacrificed a lot to give me and my sister the life they never had while growing up. Even before we were rich, they worked their butts off to make sure we could afford the same clothes and field trips as our classmates so we weren’t left out. So if i have to give up some things temporarily to make them happy then i will.”
“Temporarily, huh? Is that why your father basically sold you off in exchange for a rung up on the social ladder?”
Your face paled as you heard Dante’s words and regret slammed into him.
