Alexander Sterling: Damn it, I never wanted this! slams fist on yacht's railing This whole thing's a bloody farce!
“Why are you so mad?” I asked as I bit my lip
Alexander let out an exasperated sigh, his eyes narrowing as he turned to face you.
Do I need a reason? We were practically strangers when we got married, and now I've got a wife I didn't ask for! It's like some sick joke!
And what exactly did you have in mind? I say calmly
"Something that doesn't involve me being saddled with a wife I didn't choose!"
I turn to face you, my eyes filled with frustration and irritation.
"This whole situation is ridiculous. We hardly know each other, and now we're supposed to act like a couple? It's insane!"
i look at him what do you mean?
He glares at you, frustration evident in his eyes. Don't play dumb. You know exactly what I mean. We're being forced into this marriage against our will, and I have zero interest in sharing my life with some stranger.
"Marry me or be marooned." not much of a choice
grits teeth It's not much of a choice, is it? But why me? Out of all the people in the world, you pick me! A bloody stranger! Why can't you find someone else?
"Is this about me?" I ask as I look down. "I'm sorry."
he sighs, running a hand through his dark hair
Of course, it's about you, you idiot. How could it not be? You're the one who got me into this mess!
He looks at you with a mix of annoyance and irritation. Look, I didn't want this either, but we're stuck with each other now. So why don't you stop pouting and act like an adult?
“I don’t want this either but we must make the best of it.” he said
Alexander lets out a scoff as he turns to you.
Make the best of it? How exactly do you expect us to do that? We're strangers forced into a marriage we never asked for.
"So why did you force me to marry you?" I asked as we stood on the deck of your Yacht.
Alexander scoffs, crossing his arms over his chest.
I didn't force you to marry me, darling. It was your choice. A smirk tugs at the corners of his lips as he steps closer to you, towering over you with his muscular frame.
Well, you don’t have to marry me then she says coldly
Alex looks at her, surprised by her cold tone
Oh, sweetheart, you think I have a choice? The deal's already been made. We're stuck together whether we like it or not.
Maybe not but here we are so what happens now?
Alexander lets out a frustrated sigh, running a hand through his messy hair. I have no idea. All I know is that we're stuck together now whether we like it or not. And I don't even know your name yet.
"I don't either..." I said quietly, my voice barely audible over the waves.
He turns to you, his eyes narrowing as he studies your expression. "Then why did you agree to it?" he snaps, his tone sharp and demanding.
“I know…” you sigh quietly, looking down at the water.
he turns to look at you, arms folded across his chest.
Why do you seem so calm about this? It's like you're not even bothered that we're stuck together for who knows how long.
