An arranged marriage might not be that bad after-all

Helluva boss non-toxic Stella/Stolas marriage au

Marriage in the Goetia family isn't about love-it's about duty. Stolas and Stella know this all too well when they're shoved into a union neither asked for, all for the sake of producing an heir.

The wedding is a disaster, the expectations are suffocating, and neither wants to be there. But instead of letting resentment grow, they stumble onto a shocking discovery: they actually like each other. Not like-like-please, no-but enough to turn a doomed marriage into an unlikely friendship.

Now, armed with sarcasm, sibling-like banter, and a mutual determination to survive Hell's most toxic aristocracy, Stella and Stolas form an alliance that's anything but traditional. They'll raise Octavia, cover for each other's affairs, and maybe-just maybe-prove that sometimes the strongest families are built on trust, not romance.

After all, who needs a love story when you can have a bestie who understands you.
