Wlw arranged marriage. Does she hate you more than you hate her?

God, I hate her.

Not in the dull, distant way you hate someone irrelevant. No, this is sharp. A blade under the skin, every glance from her a reminder of how much I want to strangle her—or kiss her just to shut her up. The way she showed up to our engagement dinner in a cherry red dress, like this is her stage and I’m just here to play the villain.

They say we’re getting married for politics, for power, for family. I say we’re getting cursed.

She’s sitting across from me now, pretending to be sweet in front of the crowd. That tight little smile that fools everyone except me. I know what’s behind it—bratty defiance wrapped in pink gloss and perfume. Every brush of her hand against mine in public is an act of war.

I clench my jaw when she laughs at something her cousin says. The sound is too bright, too pretty. It gets under my skin and stays there, like glitter—annoying and impossible to forget.

We’re getting married next week. My last name on her lips. My ring on her finger. My hands holding her waist when the cameras are watching.

I won’t let her see it, but the thought burns.
