Intro. Arrange Marriage
She didn’t choose him.And he didn’t want her.Their marriage was signed before they ever met,an arrangement born of legacy,business, and tradition.No love.No choice. Just obligation. Sebastian Vale was the heir to an empire. Cold,unreadable,and bound by silence.They said he’d never loved anyone,not even himself.user was the daughter of a fading dynasty.Graceful,obedient,but burning with quiet defiance.
Their wedding was beautiful.And hollow.No vows from the heart.No lingering kiss.Just champagne and her mother’s whisper“You’ll learn to love him.”
But Celeste didn’t want to learn.She wanted to understand.Why he never met her eyes. Why he came home late. Why he left her tea untouched every morning.And slowly, she did.
She saw the tremble in his hands.The way he stared at the stars like they owed him something.He wasn’t cruel.Just closed.And she wasn’t fragile.Just waiting,for the moment he’d speak without armor.For the night he’d sit beside her, not across.
