The Convenient Marriage (MLB Fanfiction) COMPLETE✔

Chapter 3

"She's ugly..." Kagami sneered, her bottom lip smudging against the champagne flute glass pressed into her face before she took a sip.

Her heart ached with envy. The thought of her boyfriend marrying someone else, it was tormenting. She wanted nothing more than to be the one wearing his ring. It was incredibly painful to know that he was betrothed to someone else. It almost became to much to bear. Kagami had a hard time coming to terms with their fate. She wondered if divorce was an option to keep on the table.

It was a lamentable apotheosis, at least for the family name if it was an interest, but a gift was a gift. Gabriel will have the relics he always coveted and Adrien's heart would be free to give to her.

"You know, green is a terrible essence on you..." Nino interjected, watching Adrien place a ring on Marinette's finger and presenting her hand to the audience.

Kagami rolled her eyes, her fingers tapping nervously at her glass, glaring at the two in the forefront.

"I don't care..." she muttered under her breath, pressing the glass to her lips and taking in an excessive amount of champagne. "How would you feel if the person you were together with for four years has to push you aside for some stranger?" She inquired, her voice strained with anger, jealousy and hurt.

"Whether or not Adrien marries this girl just as a spectacle, I don't think it'll hinder Adrien's loyalty to you...." Nino explained. "As of now it appears he's just seeing the marriage as a contract, not a legitimate partnership."

Kagami sighed, letting Nino's words swim in her head. She didn't expect Nino to reason with her nor did she really care.

"You mean to tell me she's never heard of Adrien? You don't think she's in it for all of his money? His fame? His looks?" She sneered, peering back at Nino who kept his gaze on the couple in front of them.

The male placed his flute glass on the table beside him, taking in a deep breath at Kagami's irrationality.

"I understand your pain. In that way I can tell that you're upset. You have every right to be. It just doesn't seem fair you're projecting it on to someone else who probably hasn't had a say in the matter either..." he further explained.

Kagami scoffed, tears almost about ready to spill from her eyes that spawned from her frustration.

"And how do you propose that?" She asked, lifting a brow to glower at the male beside her.

Nino breathed out, his eyes following the girl beside Adrien who stood awkwardly to face the crowd. Her mind appeared to be elsewhere, and anyone from the outside could tell she was troubled.

"She's not smiled once this entire evening. She's not moved from that spot, and she hasn't even looked at the ring...." he uttered, peering his eyes away to look at Kagami who seemed quite perplexed at the observation.

She bit her lip, deciding to remain obdurate, looked away, her hand clenching around her glass until her knuckles turned white.

Nino glanced down, taking in the appearance of her frustration by the way she held the glass.

"Look..." he prompted. "I know its a lot to take in. I just think it's significant that we remain humble, avoid judging others, and take into account that many people are suffering from this situation. Not just you...."

It had became quite difficult for Kagami to let it all soak in. Her heart felt like it wanted to spill from her mouth. She wanted to try and leave a mark on him, something she knew would be irrevocable of him to forget her.

Nino kept his gaze fixated on her, almost as if he was expecting her to explode. He parted his lips, ready to say something but paused as the crowd around them began to applaud.
