the next day
Aiko woke up in the morning, feeling groggy after the previous night's events. She glanced around the room, taking in the unfamiliar surroundings. As her mind slowly began to clear, she remembered where she was - the castle where she had been forcibly married to the villainous male lead. Aiko sat up in bed, her thoughts racing. She had no intention of submitting to her husband's demands and wanted nothing more than to escape this situation.
Ava
