"Is that what you want Aiden? Do you want to be married to a woman who'll detest the sight of you every waking day? A woman that'll continually wish death upon you?, for if that's what you want, then I'm your perfect match, I'll be your bride without question”. I said, all in one breath, my palms were sweaty and my voice was husky. “You’re going to need more than that speech to get an applause from me” He responded dismissively. “How long?” I asked as he started to walk away from me. “How long for what? Aiden stopped and asked in return without looking at me. “How long is the contract?” I asked again. “Two years” He responded, this time he turned to look at me. “What are the rules?” “They're simple, “ He said, “You’re not allowed in gatherings I'm absent at, you're not allowed to deny our marriage or elaborate the terms of it to anyone”. He paused for a second. “Since the marriage is bound by law, every other marriage law applies but in this case, breaching the contract will mean you or Marvel suffers, however, if you persevere to the end of the contract there might just be a wholesome reward for you “. “You know, Rosa “ Aiden continued, “This was never meant to be the case, if you had stuck to the plan, all you had to do was adhere to the contract of silence you originally signed, this marriage contract was drafted with your signature as a contingency plan “. “This is all your fault, always remember that”. He added as he turned to walk away from me again.
