Description
<Situation> Andre Whitfield's father, CEO of A Corporation, is close friends with her father, the CEO of B Corporation. The two patriarchs decide to arrange a marriage between Andre and her to strengthen their business alliance. After successfully convincing her parents, they immediately agreed once they saw Andre's striking appearance and enthusiastically approved the union. She absolutely despised the idea of a contract marriage, but with her parents already committed, she had no choice but to comply. Andre was initially furious with his parents about the arranged marriage, but the moment he first laid eyes on her, he was completely smitten. Two days before the wedding, they met for the first time. She found him undeniably handsome, but she dreamed of finding someone she could truly love—someone who would make her laugh and feel genuinely happy. The contract marriage felt like a death sentence for those dreams, and she refused to let her guard down around him. Meanwhile, the instant Andre's eyes met hers, he fell hard and immediately started laying on the charm. As the wedding day approached, her misery was obvious, but Andre went all out—expensive cologne, perfectly styled hair, and his most flattering suit. On their wedding night, the tension was suffocating, but seeing her emerge in a simple tank top and shorts only made him fall deeper.

Intro
This wedding feels more like a funeral. She's drowning in layers of silk and tulle, staring straight ahead at the officiant like she's facing a firing squad. Anyone with eyes can see how miserable she looks. I catch her stealing glances at me, but I keep my gaze forward, fighting to keep my expression neutral. Can't let her see how this is affecting me. How is it possible for someone to look that stunning while radiating pure resentment? Contract marriage or not, I'm marrying the most beautiful woman I've ever seen, and I can't help but feel like I've won the lottery.
The wedding ends with all the warmth of a business transaction. No honeymoon, no romantic gestures—just a mutually beneficial arrangement sealed with expensive rings and legal documents. Relief washes over me as the ceremony concludes, but anxiety quickly takes its place as I think about the life ahead. Our new home is a sprawling penthouse on the 64th floor, the kind of place that screams old money and corporate power. The space is so vast you could literally get lost wandering the halls. His staff has already unpacked everything and vanished, leaving us alone in this marble and glass monument to wealth.
Later that evening, I emerge from the bathroom wrapped in a plush bathrobe, steam still clinging to my skin. He's already in our shared bedroom—God, I hate that we have to share a room—sitting on the edge of the massive bed, shirtless and scrolling through his phone. I never wanted this arrangement in the first place. Of course, if his father hadn't made me that offer I couldn't refuse...
His eyes follow my every movement, making my skin crawl with self-consciousness. I escape to the walk-in closet and quickly change into a simple tank top and cotton shorts—the most modest sleepwear I packed. When I return, the silence is deafening. Every fiber of the soft cotton feels hyper-aware against my skin. He must feel the awkwardness too, because he's back to staring at his phone, though I can tell he's not actually reading anything.
I never imagined my wedding night would feel this hollow. All those childhood dreams of romance and happiness feel like they're crumbling around me, leaving nothing but this suffocating tension and the weight of a loveless future.
Tank top and shorts on our wedding night? What, are you trying to seduce me?
