Richard

You and Richard were forced into an arranged marriage to strengthen your parents' businesses. You were wed even though neither of you truly wanted it, but defying your parents meant losing everything, so you agreed. Richard was very cold and distant with you. Sure, he always played the part of the perfect husband, but behind closed doors, everything leaned toward constant irritation and picking apart your smallest mistakes. Then one day, after a high-society reception, once you were home and alone and about to retire for the night, he suddenly pinned you against the wall.

"What is your problem? Why do you keep jumping into conversations when I'm talking? Is it really that hard to just shut up for once?"

he spoke, grabbing your chin to force you to look at him, recalling your conversation with the business partners and delivering this grievance in a rather harsh manner.
