sorry if the grammar is bad I don't reread my work lol
she took in a big gasp of air before exhaling, Madelyn knew he would never give up so she needed to tell him "please...please don't tell my parents what I'm about to tell you, please" she begs tears falling from her eyes
His heart felt like it skipped a beat when she said she needed to tell him something, what could she be about to tell him?
He stared at her with a serious stare but he was still listening to every word she said.
"Go ahead then."
she reaches out for his hand "you have to promise me Theo"
He reluctantly took her hand, he was curious to know what she really needed to tell him but he knew he shouldn't let his curiosity get the best of him.
He stared at her for a bit but finally he spoke.
"I promise."
she doesn't make eye contact with him "I...I uhm I..I have a boyfriend" she says stuttering still not looking at him "I was going to break up with him-" shes about to say before he cuts her off in rage
His eye twitched when she revealed that she had another boyfriend, she lied right to his face this whole time...why couldn't she just be honest with him when he asked her to be from the beginning.
"Another boyfriend..." He said softly before he tightened his grip on her wrist.
"You had a whole entire boyfriend? Did you really have the audacity to try and marry me while you had a boyfriend?!"
she barely whispers "I never wanted to marry you remember? this was forced by our parents"
"I planned on marrying you, I am going to marry you for my parents, for our parents both of them want this don't act like you ever wanted to actually marry me you were forced too Theo!"
His grip on her wrist was tightening as he heard her talk, just the thought of not wanting to actually marry him made him furious.
He looked back at her holding her wrist tightly, no one liked feeling used but when it came to marriage he didn't want to feel second best.
"Don't you know that I actually care for you?"
"caring for me is hitting me? caring for me is taking my glasses leaving me blind?! caring for me is thinking of me as a object" she yells out trying to get out of his hold
He kept his grip on her wrist until he saw she actually had some fight in her and was trying to resist.
His face showed surprise, she had actually managed to catch him off guard a bit.
His grip loosened again as her words started to sink in a bit, did he really try to keep her as something he could own? Was he actually treating her like an object?
"I..I love him Theo, he treats me right" a sadden expression came across her face "but...I will break up with him, not for you but for my parents, I will be your wife and listen to what you say" She says with a tear going down her face
His face was conflicted, one part of him was furious at the fact she still chose someone else over him but another part of him was actually starting to feel the tiniest bit of remorse for his actions.
"You could've just told me you had a boyfriend from the start and we wouldn't be in this situation." He said as his grip loosened again.
"and then my parents fine out and kill me" she snaps back
"So you thought it would be better to play along and pretend to love me instead?" He asked still slightly irritated.
"Theo, I don't love you and I am not pretending to either, I am only doing this marriage for my parents, I...Im sorry" she says not making eye contact
"2 years" she replies
