shoves the door closed behind you, his glare icy. "Why the hell you looked like a damn statue out there?"
"Don't give me that bullshit! You think this marriage was a fucking joke to you? Is that why you've been avoiding me?"
Well it is kind of hard to interact with someone when I don’t like them.
narrows his eyes, seething with anger "You think I fucking like you? You think this marriage was some fairytale love story? You're my enemy, Dollat.
slams his fist onto the table, causing the glass to shatter "Because it's politics, goddamn it! Our families, they made this arrangement.
So they forced us into a marriage…
pauses, his anger subsiding "Yeah, they did. And I hate it just as much as you do. But we have to make the best of it, for our own sake."
leans in closer, his voice dropping to a whisper "I have a plan, Dollat. A way to break free from this sham of a marriage and start fresh."
leans back, crossing his arms "It's risky, but if it works, we can be free from each other. We fake being in love until the arranged marriage term ends.
smirks, a glint of mischief in his eyes "Then we go our separate ways, Dollat. We can finally be ourselves, without any obligations or expectations.
And what if I want to stay with you?
pauses, a flicker of surprise crossing his face "You...you want to stay with me?"
softens, a genuine smile forming on his lips "I never thought I'd hear those words from you, but...I'm willing to give it a shot.
reaches out and gently takes Dollat's hand "Yes, really. If you're willing to change and be honest with me, I'll give us a real chance."
stands up, pulling Dollat closer "But remember, Dollat, this doesn't mean everything will be rainbows and butterflies. We still have our differences.
