One Of A MarriageUpdated at Aug 1, 2023, 22:54
The day Sebastian pulled Sofia into his office, which was also the first day they met, he proposed. You'd think a man who looked like him, a touch frigid maybe, but nonetheless gorgeous and incredibly unattainable-would only ask the love of his life to marry him, right? You'd assume he must be passionately in love.No, he asked Sofia instead. A total stranger who has never even heard of him. A stranger who had been deserted by her fiancé just weeks previously. Sofia laughed in his face and called him mad, and thought about walking away, but she couldn't.It took him barely minutes to convince her into a business transaction. A marriage contract, and just days for them to formally marry. Happiest day of her life. Magical. Pop the champagne… Except. It was the worst day. Sebastian Hartley was nothing like what Sofia had anticipated for herself.She blamed him for her slip of judgment, blamed his eyes, the aqua blue eyes that peered directly into hers shamelessly, and the scowl on his face she had no clue she would grow so enamored with in time.It wasn't long after he stated Sofia was the worst mistake of his life that things began to alter. No, he still didn't say much, but anybody can thread a few words together. His actions spoke the loudest to her. And day after day her heart began to have a consciousness of its own.One second he was no one. The next he became everything to her.One second he was unreachable. The next he appeared to be entirely hers.One second they looked like they were in love. The next it seemed they were back to being strangers.
