"Sweet little edelweiss, what have you done?...
I can't say I'm not surprised, but this could lead to our demise...
I know, I've been distant lately, and it's for one reason, mainly.
No, it's not your fault, dear, I'm equally to blame, but please do understand, you and I, we're not the same, I need some time think, but I won't abandon you, my sweet little edelweiss, I'm here for you.
You're usually so happy, nothing could break your smile, sweet little edelweiss, how bad did she hurt you?...
I wish I could help you, I guaranty, I wish I could be what you need of me, but I'm just as troubled, you see?
Seeing you suffer isn't easy, sweetie, but there's nothing I can do to help you... There's nothing I can do to ease your pain, since I myself, am going insane.
I must admit, this is our end, my dear friend, but we'll die together, my sweet little edelweiss, and we'll meet in paradise,
if I even deserve it, that is...
It might not seem like it, dear, but I need you, just as much as you need me,
That's why I fear death, my dear, because I'm sacred you won't be near , I'm scared the world will part us, I'm scared I'll lose you, dear...
Sweet little edelweiss... What have I done?...
It's not your fault, dear, I'll take the blame, and hopefully, your burden won't stay the same..."
"You see him as an heir of your empire and not as a family member. All you care about is the inheritance and not the child. If all you want is an heir then why not marry someone and produce as many heirs as you want." She stopped as she narrowed her eyes at him.
And then with a mocking expression she continued, "Or is it that you are unable to Re.Pro.Duce??" seeing the angry flush on his face her heart smiled with satisfaction.
But before she could celebrate her little victory against him he pulled her from her wrist and she collided with his hard chest. Snaking an arm around her waist he held her tightly as she struggled in his hold.
"Don't play with fire, Ms Lilly Jones or don't complain to me later if you end up getting burned."
"I've never hated anyone as much as I hate you." she spitted.
"The feelings are mutual then, sweetheart." he smiled.

He married her to fulfil a promise he had made long ago. She was supposed to be a bride in name only, a wife just on papers. Then why he felt an undeniable hunger in him every time she met his gaze. Desiring her wasn't a part of his plans. He has never wanted anything as much as he wanted her. And that's where everything started to take an unexpected turn...
