I wasn't opposed to the thought of an arranged marriage. In fact, I welcomed it. It was always how things had been done in my family, and I would not be the one to bring shame to my family by trying to change that. I wasn't opposed to an arranged marriage at all. I was just a fifteen year old girl trying to preserve what I loved most at that time - my education.

Honor Aside
Despite being raised in Canada, I was expected to have an arranged marriage before I became "too old" for the people in my family's religious community to view me as a potential bride. I grew up thinking that an arranged marriage within my religious community would be my future. When the time came for my sister to get married, I could do nothing but watch as she was forced to marry a distant relative overseas and become trapped in a miserable situation. As I got older, I realized that I needed to take drastic action to avoid the same fate as all the women in my family before me. They had been stifled and traumatized, and they chafed under society's expectations. However, they could do nothing but rely on religion and repeat the cycle of marriage-kids-marriage. Having failed to convince my parents that I needed to have other options, I left. This is the story of how I decided that things needed to change. This is how I took charge of my future.Complete
The dough and the dagger
He grew up in warmth-the scent of fresh bread, the rhythm of kneading dough, the simplicity of life in his father's bakery in France. His parents divorced when he was young, but he stayed, drawn to the quiet artistry of baking. He had no desire for power, only the satisfaction of creating something beautiful. She was raised in a world of crime. Her father, a feared and powerful man, taught her that weakness was fatal. She spent her life by his side, learning to lead with intelligence and ruthlessness. She was not just his daughter-she was his heir. Their marriage was a deal. Her father arranged it to secure an alliance, choosing him precisely because he was neutral, harmless. He wanted no part of their world, and she had no interest in his. They were opposites-fire and flour, control and creation. Yet, over time, she saw his devotion to his craft, his ability to create beauty in a world she had only ruled with force. He saw the weight of expectation she carried. She didn't need saving. He didn't want power. But in a world built on blood, she was the queen-and he became the only man unafraid of her crown.Complete

Married to you ✔
Arrange marriage, I hated to even hear about it. But my fate didn't favour me. Born into a conservative family, I had little say in the matter. I was made to meet men chosen for me, one after another. Each time, I found my own ways to be rejected and thankfully, they did reject me. But then he came. He was somehow different from the previous guys that I had met. Still, I tried the same tactic, hoping he too would walk away. Instead, he offered me a deal that was never meant to change anything. "We will marry each other and will be living under a same roof but we won't practically be husband and wife. Neither will I control you nor will you control me. Or let's just say we can be roommates." It was simple. Ridiculous but somehow strangely convincingly practical. Or so I thought. Because that one deal... changed my life forever. **** ~A love after marriage story~ It isn't as simple as you think. They will end up bickering over god knows what kind of stupid things. They will end up having cliche moments and at times you will go all aww on them. Just click the button 'Read' and be a part of their journey.Complete
