Somewhere back in time...

HIS POV

Exhausted sigh immediately escaped his lips as soon as his body touched the comforts of his sheets after a long day of plastering a fake hospitality towards their visitors earlier this morning. The young man burried his face on the white sheets, absorbing the coldness which eventually soothes everything on him.

Welcoming the guests and assisting them could've been more exhausting, why is he doing the work within his residence? Isn't it supposed to be their servants' job?

Young Satoru took a deep breath and burrier his face deeper on the soft mattress. The title above his name is weighing like a giant boulder on a hill crushing him underground. The pressure and expectations that nobody knows is killing him deep inside, he hated the feeling of being unfree and chained.

Like a shattered glass, Satoru's ears tinged when he rememberee something.

I'll be chained.

Soon I am no longer free...

I'm getting married...

He gripped the sheets so tightly as if he can squeezed  the frustration and hopelessness out of it. Satoru's cerulean pair of orbs narrowed and a dark shadow casting on his hateful eyes, emphasizing the glimmer of fire within its depths. He swore that when the time comes, he will ruin the orchestrated destiny laid upon his future. He won't let anyone chain his neck and held him a prisoner in marriage.

All his plans will go down to ruins if he can't prevent this from happening. Satoru was determined to destroy it. He is certain that he will succeed.

------

Or so he thought...

Because before him there she stood a girl, with no emotions at all. Her e/c eyes bored deeply into his cerulean ones as if piercing through his soul.

T-this girl..!

His eyes remained wide, staring at the young girl sitting before him together with their parents. Her movements were refined and disciplined. The majestical charisma of their family reflected on her manners, unlike him who is behaving like a spoiled brat in his rebellious phase.

Satoru was awestruck and at the same time nervous.

You are...! It's you, right?!

His eyes remained on the unsuspecting girl. Her face, her lips, the way her eyes glimmer with different emotions, and the way she smiles at his parents. Everything is way too familiar and from that everything came crushing down like a glass shattering on the back of his mind.

He knows her.

I see, he snapped out of his trance of thoughts when he heard his grandfather's voice. The old man wiped his mouth with napkin in a very disciplined manner. Satoru is still on his rebellious phase, but he is my grandson. One day he'll come to realize and thank me for helping him build his future.

How sure are you with that? You've already ruined it by selling me into this stupid marriage!

He wanted to voice it out, he wanted to let it out. However at the same time, looking at the face of someone he knew from his past made him hesitate. She was focused on listening to the adults talking about almost everything. He was so enchanted to see her respond to every questions as if she had already knew what is about to be asked. Her voice was polite but there was a tinge of power and confidence in it. Despite being young, she is already fit to be in a circle of adult elites.

The complete opposite of him.

But...

His heart won't stop beating so fast. Even his lips quivered, and he was sweating cold. The ferocious glint of the rebellious heir is long gone from his eyes.

I know its you, Emma.

I never thought that it would be you!

I didn't know that you are one of this disgusting family!

You're a liar!
