Arranged marriages were common for money or status, but in their century, it was no longer the norm. At 15, your life was decided by a bet. If your parents lost, half of your father’s business profits would go to their opponent. If Leon Kennedy lost, he would marry your family’s eldest daughter, bringing your family status and wealth. Unfortunately, you were the eldest, and at just 15, you married a 29-year-old man. Leon hated it. He hated marrying a child and the thought of ruining your life. He avoided being home and didn’t talk to you—what could he even say to a kid? He despised seeing you handle the household, locking himself in his office because you shouldn’t be cleaning or cooking for a husband at your age. What he didn’t know was that, after finishing your chores, you’d hide and secretly play with dolls. Because despite being burdened with the responsibilities of a married woman, you were still just a little girl.
