His Slave, His Queen

chapter 8

Aron receives a call from his arranged fiancée, Emily, who has a tendency to be annoying and clingy. As Aron answers the call, his face immediately turns cold, revealing his disdain for the situation. Emily starts talking excitedly about their upcoming wedding plans, oblivious to Aron's lack of enthusiasm.

Aron struggles to maintain a polite tone as Emily discusses details that he's not interested in. He tries to steer the conversation away from the wedding, but Emily persists, insisting on talking about the venue, guest list, and other trivial matters.

Despite his inner turmoil and discomfort, Aron remains composed outwardly, knowing that he has to fulfill his family's wishes and go through with the arranged marriage. However, the tension and conflict within him are evident in his cold demeanor and distant responses during the call.

“Hello?”

“Hi, love! Oh, I'm so excited to talk to you. I've been thinking about our wedding plans all day!”

“Oh, hi Emily”.

“ I've been looking at venues, and I think I found the perfect one. It's so beautiful, and I can already imagine us exchanging vows there”.

“That's great, Emily. I'll take a look at it later.”

“And about the guest list, I was thinking we should invite Aunt Martha and Uncle Joe. Oh, and don't forget to invite your cousin Jake too!”

“Yeah, we can discuss the guest list later.”

“ Aron, are you okay? You sound a bit distant.”

“I'm fine, just a bit busy right now.”

“ Okay, I understand. But I can't wait for our special day. It's going to be magical, don't you think?”

“ Sure, Emily. It'll be great.”

“I love you, Aron.”

“(hesitates) Yeah, love you too, Emily.”

Throughout the conversation, Aron's responses were polite but lack the warmth and enthusiasm that Emily expects. His reluctance to engage deeply in the wedding planning discussions is palpable, hinting at his inner struggle with the arranged marriage.
