"Son, to become powerful is to have many allies, one of which is your wife . Not just for their support, but for their family's name and influence. It's up to you, whether today you succeed or not. The Lacy's daughter is a tad bit hard to gain favor... Remember, you have responsibilities to fulfill..."
"Yes, Father."
"Now go, find her under that Oak Tree... "

"So what if I'm seeing her? You can't, and you don't have the power to stop this, my dear. Since the day that you signed that contract..."
*
"Can I call you 'Lenna' for short?"
"Mhm!" I nod eagerly.
Back to the present
"I said, don't call me that!"
I can't take it anymore. How long will this go on?
"Oh, I didn't know you had such fire? I love the fight in you..."

He'd never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she'd say every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other.
She'd never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find that, whether he likes it or not.
It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites.

"You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing.
He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl.
He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away.
"You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering.
"I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk.
