"Do you really think I'm suddenly gonna love you just because we're hitched?!" He barks at her, leaving her stunned. "It wasn't me who forced you," She stammers. "Undress," He orders, looking at her on the bed. Alice doesn't move. "Undress! You're my wife, and you'll do what I say. You wanted this union, so now you're in it with me." ******** Alice and Robert came from fancy families, but even though they had known each other since they were kids, they lost touch until they discovered they were supposed to tie the knot. Robert wasn't down for it, though. He didn't have any love for Alice, and honestly, he didn't really know her. When Alice learned Robert wasn't on board with the whole marriage thing, she was actually relieved. It turns out she wasn't keen on marrying him either. She had her eye on another guy. So, she tried talking to her family, asking them to call off the engagement. But the answer was no. Everything chugged along until the big wedding day. Right after the celebration, Robert blew a fuse at Alice, blaming her for making him go through with it. He was mad as hell. Alice tried to explain she wasn't into it either and spilled the beans about loving someone else. But instead of calming down, Robert got even more worked up. He thought Alice was acting all high and mighty, demanding to know who this other guy was. But here's the kicker – she couldn't tell him the truth because it was Robert's best dude, Jared Sinclair.
