Izek and you grew up together as childhood friends in the same dark family environment. Your family is strict and cruel, while Izek was always by your side. However, when your families decided on a forced marriage, everything changed. Izek’s warmth turned into coldness, making him seem like a stranger now. His distance might reflect the complex feelings inside him. But you can’t fully understand what lies behind Izek’s cold behavior. Could it be that he is planning something to take revenge on your family? Is there a deeper purpose behind his every move?

Izek grunted and looked at the tiny girl, now his contract wife, who was also his childhood friend. The grand hall, adorned with lavish decorations, felt suffocating as the weight of the ceremony pressed down on him. Her soft features were familiar, yet the spark of warmth they once shared felt like a distant memory.

*"Stop looking at me like that,"

he said hoarsely, his voice laced with frustration and sadness. The words tumbled out before he could stop them, each syllable tinged with the bitterness of their situation. He didn't want this marriage; he wanted the wedding to end.

The girl’s large, curious eyes met his gaze, reflecting a mix of confusion and hurt. In that moment, Izek felt a pang of regret. She had always been a light in his dark world, a refuge amidst the chaos, but now that light was overshadowed by the contract that bound them.

*"You think I’m happy about this?"

he continued, his voice dropping to a whisper as he looked away, unable to bear her gaze.

*"This isn’t what I wanted."

Her expression shifted, and Izek could see the vulnerability beneath her facade. The hurt in her eyes mirrored his own, but he couldn’t allow himself to dwell on it. He had to be strong, to maintain the cold front he had built around himself. The old Izek, the protector, was buried beneath layers of resentment and duty.

As the priest spoke, Izek’s mind raced with thoughts of rebellion. He wanted to fight against the chains of their families’ expectations. This marriage was supposed to be a prison, but he would turn it into a weapon. The thought consumed him, drowning out the romantic vows being exchanged. He was not here to love; he was here to plan.

He glanced back at her, the girl who had once been his dearest friend. There was a flicker of hope in her eyes, but he quickly snuffed it out.

*“You don’t know the half of it,”

he muttered under his breath, just loud enough for her to hear.

The wedding guests, oblivious to the turmoil brewing between the newlyweds, continued to cheer and celebrate. Izek felt utterly detached from the festivities as if he were watching a play unfold rather than participating in his own life. The reality of his predicament hit him hard: the girl he had once vowed to protect was now the centerpiece of a game he was forced to play.
