Ivresse

What is worst than marrying someone you don’t love? Marrying someone while in love with another one. For Ivy, it wasn’t that of a tragedy. Marrying for love was a risky move. The love could fade away and after, what was left for you? Nothing. Marrying someone because of mutual benefit was the best move to make, at the end, the benefits would remain. At least, that was what she wanted everyone to believe. The truth was, she was madly in love with someone who couldn’t be hers. She watched him fall for someone else, doing all she could to pull them apart. She slowly found herself becoming the villain of their story. In the fear of hurting the man she loves and the possibility of him hating her for life, she left. She let them live their love and concentrate on hers. It never ends well for the villain and she couldn’t waste her life at the pursuit of a chimera. She came back, three years after. A business on her name and the title of the business woman of the year. Her professional life was perfect but her lack of personal life didn’t go unnotice. Sorrounded at every corner by marriage proposal and a mother who won’t stop pestering her, she announced, “The man I want to marry is as wealthy as myself, fifteen years older and with no desire of having children," Her words left everyone shocked. She jokingly said those words in order to chase away the nuisance who only have marriage on their lips but a man came to her office, “When is the wedding?” He had everything she wanted. He entered in all her criterias but why did he want to marry her?
