Bittersweet Symphony
He approached me with an air of superiority, clearly unimpressed by my presence. "I hope you understand, Calista, that this marriage is purely a business arrangement," he said coldly. "Do not expect me to treat you with any sort of affection or kindness." I almost laughed, because I didn't care. I just needed him to give me a reason to disappear. So what if I'm bound to him by some promise my parents made? I can easily turn that back on them. I straightened my spine and met his gaze with determination. "I see," I replied, my voice steady. "But you best believe that I will break you. SInce you want to keep me here against my will, I'll make you regret agreeing to marry me." His eyebrows rose, clearly surprised by my response.
