"You will become the empress of the most prominent empire," mother said as she fixes my hair, adding a little touch to my already finished look. I stare at the mirror. I should be the happiest woman right now, getting married to the man I admired the most yet why does my heart wavers a little bit? "Let's go, His Highness is waiting for the most beautiful bride in the world" Esmeralda, my mother, taps me on my back as she looks teary eyes. I smiled a little bit. My mind is scattered everywhere, I can't even care less if the whole citizens of the Theavarian empire are watching my actions intently. I walk down in the aisle, dress in all white while the people started to look at me in awe. 'Our future empress' that's what they called me. "Do you take Logan Daxon Ruwedor Fergus as your lawfully wedded husband?" the priest asked but my eyes were pinned on his. The man who confessed his love for me yesterday, Grayson Rowan. 'I'm sorry...' With my lips trembling hard, I manage to say, "I do" and thus, the start of my loveless marriage. ------------ "Are you sure about this, Astrid?" Grayson Rowan's voice occupied the whole room, his brown tantalizing eyes and chiseled jaw made Astrid gulped nervously, why is it only now she realizes how attractive Grayson is? She handles the contract which is freshly signed. "Y-yes," she replied while looking down, "Then you must keep in mind the rules," Grayson said, standing up from his swivel chair. "Number one, no one will know about this contract, not even Brielle," he said, closing the distance, lifting Astrid's chin and making her look into his bright brown eyes. "Number two, you will come here only when I permitted you to do so" his rough hands tucking some of Astrid's loose hair. "And lastly, no strings attached" he finalized before sealing their contract with a kiss, it is indeed the start of their dirty little secret. She was an empress of the Theavarian Empire yet her body has been sold to the emperor of Alutia Empire.
