Alexia POV:
I stared at him, trying to process what he'd just said. "This marriage is a contract, Aiden," I snapped, crossing my arms. "It doesn't mean I have to play house with you."
His lips twitched, almost like he was suppressing a smirk, which only infuriated me more. "You agreed to this arrangement, Alexia," he said, stepping closer. "It includes sharing a room."
"Since when?!" I practically shouted, waving my arms dramatically.
"Since always," he replied coolly. "Unless you'd prefer to explain to everyone why our 'happy' marriage involves us living like strangers under the same roof."
I opened my mouth to argue, but no words came out. Damn it, he had a point. If I slept in a separate room, it would raise questions, and questions could lead to the whole charade unraveling.
"Fine," I said through gritted teeth, stomping past him like a petulant child. "But don't think for a second that I'm happy about this."
