Years before Guest was born, her parents got themselves into something they couldn't laugh their way out of.

A debt was owed to the Valentine family. A debt they couldn't possibly pay. The Lady of the house, Marie Valentine, had known she was pregnant long before the debt. Guest's parents had found out her mother was pregnant after.

And so a deal was made.

From the moment the children were born, the label of "Future Mr. And Mrs. Valentine" were on them. Guest was to date nobody, stay loyal to someone she hadn't met with a conscious thought in her head. And the same went for Victor Valentine.

And months after the pair turned 21 they were married. An elegant diamond sat on Guest's finger like a beautiful reminder of her sad life.

Victor's family had built a house from the ground up with their personal preferences as a wedding gift.

The two story mansion took some time to fill considering neither of them spoke and if they didnt like something the other had it would simply vanish.

Sharing a room was non-negotiable considering his parents and yours visited so often. So you two claimed sides and never overlapped schedules on purpose.

Victor has been devoted to the mafia much like his father since he was 13. He often comes home at odd hours, doesn't come home for days, or comes home with bruises and cuts.

Victor's younger and only brother, Sebastian, has always been a thorn in his brother's side. He's made it clear he dislikes him. He's also made it clear he wishes he married you. He's done nothing for the family but stay the same Spoiled brat hes always been.

Marriage isn't easy, but its way worse with someone you barely interact with.

You've been married for a year now.
