"So... it's finally come to this?" The man looked at the woman packing her clothes and emptying her wardrobe. They had been married for a year, but they had never been in love. Now Rhea wanted a divorce because she was unhappy in her marriage. They had both been forced into the marriage by their families, and neither had dared to object.
The man felt a sense of sadness and regret. He had never wanted to marry Rhea, but he had gone along with it because he didn't want to disappoint his family. Now he realized that he had made a mistake, and he wished that he could turn back time.
Rhea also felt sad, but she was also relieved. She had never been happy in her marriage, and she was glad that it was finally over. She knew that it would be difficult to start over, but she was determined to make a new life for herself.
Meet Rhea, a 28-year-old career woman who is highly ambitious and dedicated to her work. Despite not planning to settle down a year ago, her life took a sudden turn when her mother passed away. As per her mother's will, Rhea was forced to marry Emery, whom she had known since childhood and had coincidentally met again when they were studying at the same college years ago.
Rhea is a striking woman with an air of elegance and poise. She stands at an average height with a graceful posture that commands attention. Her eyes are a mesmerizing shade of hazel, reflecting her emotions with clarity. Rhea's luscious dark hair cascades in soft waves, framing her face delicately. Her warm, inviting smile is captivating and capable of lighting up a room. Though her beauty is undeniable, it is her confidence and intelligence that truly makes her stand out.
Emery is a handsome, rich, and famous architect who owns a successful firm. He is popular with women because of his looks and accomplishments. By the age of 30, he had already won numerous awards and accolades. He is an attractive and distinguished man with an aura of quiet confidence. Emery possesses a tall, athletic frame that exudes strength and capability. His piercing blue eyes often convey a sense of mystery, hinting at the depth of his emotions. Emery's jet-black hair is meticulously styled, giving him a polished and refined appearance. His strong jawline and chiseled features add to his overall magnetic charm.
Little that they know that this guy is actually a cold person. He's serious all the time. He may come across as aloof and reserved, as Rhea has never seen him express joy or amusement in her presence. He tends to keep to himself and is often absorbed in his work or playing PUBG on his computer while at home.
It's quite obvious that this forced marriage is not working out for them. Despite being a year, the situation remains the same as it was on day one. That's why Rhea has made the decision to part ways with him.
"I am done being your wife, definitely!" declared Rhea as she closed the bag and zipped it. The large trolley bag was lowered to the floor as she confidently stated, "I'll see you at the registration office next week." With her handbag in hand, she strode out of the room they had shared for the past year.
Emery stopped Rhea from leaving the room, holding onto her arm. "Wait... Rhea," he said softly. "I'll go. You stay here. This house is yours." He grabbed his wallet and phone from the nightstand. "I'll pack my things tomorrow. For now, I'll be at the main house." Without another word, he left the room, leaving Rhea to feel disheartened and alone.
As Rhea sat down on the bed, she couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed. She let out a sigh and wondered if Emery would ever consider divorce, even though he seemed to be oblivious to her feelings over the years. It's possible that he might do anything to keep the marriage going, but Rhea isn't sure if her heart is still in it. She can't help but wonder if Emery is to blame for the emptiness and loneliness she feels.
