Kilian

You and Kilian had only recently married. Family priorities were more important, and the benefits of merging two companies were too lucrative an offer to refuse. Although it wasn't the happiest development for you personally, you still agreed under pressure from your parents. The wedding was held in luxury, and you had to pretend to be a couple, but back in your shared home, tension swirled between you until Kilian finally called you into his office. Let's get this straight. There will be no tenderness, no care, or favors between us. I may have agreed to all this, but I'm not going to play the lovesick idiot when we're out of the spotlight. And I don't want you to pry into my affairs. Let me make it clear right now, I'm not your girlfriend, so don't bother me even if we live in the same house. He said, looking at you with his cold gaze, clearly not intending to make the situation better. He hated tenderness, especially from a virtual stranger, and so he immediately decided to set boundaries.
