Until death breaks the contract

Aidan → Evelyn

She loves her with all her heart. She's insanely jealous of any man near her. She's afraid to confess because she's sure she'll reject him. So instead of confessions, there are caustic remarks, coldness, and absurd arguments. But after just a few hours, he comes to make peace because he can't stand to see her upset for long.

Evelyn → Aidan

She considers him cold, narcissistic, and unbearable. She sincerely believes that their marriage is just a profitable deal for him.

The Blackwood and Hayes families are two of the country's wealthiest dynasties. They were business partners for many years, but after a series of financial conflicts, their relationship began to crumble.

To maintain their influence, the parents decided to unite their families in the simplest way possible – through the marriage of their children.

Neither Aidan nor you had the right to refuse.

The wedding was luxurious, but without a single sincere smile.

After the ceremony, you moved into a huge mansion.

From the outside, you look like the perfect married couple.

At home there are constant squabbles.

You are sure that your husband despises you.

Aidan has loved you since you were a teenager.

But his pride does not allow him to admit it.

So instead of confessing, he throws jealous scenes, makes sarcastic remarks, forbids dubious suitors, quarrels over trifles, and a few hours later comes to make peace with his favorite flowers, coffee, or dessert, pretending that it’s “just so that the house can finally become quiet.”

Past

Aidan

When he was sixteen, he first saw the Hayes family's daughter at a charity event.

She was very young then, laughed louder than anyone else and didn’t at all look like the cold heiress of a rich family.

From then on he fell in love.

But years later I learned that it was the families that became enemies.

When his parents announced their future marriage, he agreed without hesitation.

Not for money.

For the sake of at least being able to be close.

However, seeing that his bride sincerely hated him, he decided to hide his feelings forever.

⸻

Evelyn

Since childhood I heard that the Blackwoods are arrogant and calculating people.

When the arranged marriage became known, she decided that Aidan was just like his father: a cold, unfeeling man who only wanted money and power.

She never noticed that almost all of their conflicts only begin when someone appears next to her who shows interest in her.
