"This is stupid"  she complained

"I agree" I said looking at Y/N next to me

"Your attention!" Y/N's father got up raising his glass "For tomorrow!"

We all join in the toast, we're at our rehearsal dinner, tomorrow is our wedding, our parents fixed our future by getting us engaged

"For Y/N and for Alycia!" his father continued "Thank you for making us proud"

"Yeah, you threaten to take away my inheritance"  Y/N mumbled, I was the only one to hear it

"For being permanent associates from tomorrow on" my father raised his glass to Y/N's father "And good friends"

Although I basically grew up with her, I know Y/N is not happy about this at all, she doesn't want this marriage

"Alycia" Y/N called me

I turned to see her and she took out something that was hidden next to her, I opened my eyes when I saw the huge bouquet of flowers, I took the flowers gladly and with a big smile

"I know you love flowers"

"Thank you"

"Your favorites"

"Yes" I replied "They are beautiful"

Everything happened absolutely fast, I woke up, they dressed me, I don't remember if I had breakfast, I guess I did. My nerves made me nauseous in the car, I tripped getting out of the car, they gave me my bouquet, they arranged my dresses, hair and makeup one last time. I sighed hearing the melody, I saw her, I lost my breath at the beauty of her, I walked towards her

"I do" I smiled

"I do" she faked a smile

Her lips on mine for a second, just a second of paradise

The butterflies in my stomach fluttered as she took my hand, we left the church

Photos. Congratulations. Photos

We arrived at the party, we had dinner, we danced, we laughed, we talked, blah, blah, blah...

Why is the day slipping so fast? Couldn't I freeze it? Capture it just for a moment longer

Y/N and I are in the car, on the way to our new home, as we both walk in we admire the big house. I turned to Y/N with my veil in hand

Ready to hear her words, ready to...

"You were stunning today, Alycia"

My cheeks burned

"You too, Y/N"

"So..."

Here it comes. Say it. I'm ready. More than ready

"Until tomorrow" she began to go up the stairs

What? My brow furrowed

"Rest" she yawn "Choose the room you want, there are several to choose"

"I..."

"Tomorrow afternoon is the flight to the honey-" she played with her hair uncomfortable

"Honeymoon"

"That, yeah" she turned her back on me "Night, Alycia"

"Night, Y/N"

I took off my shoes sadly and went to the kitchen looking for a bottle of wine, drinking more than half of it I decided to walk around the house looking for a room. I got to the room Y/N chose and prepare to knock

"I know" I stopped when I heard her voice, I get closer the door to hear better "It's a fucking nightmare, I'm trapped in a stupid life. What year are we in? 1800?"

I lowered my head and took my dress to raise it and continue walking

The next morning I went downstairs for breakfast, entering the dining room I saw Y/N sitting reading a book, I couldn't help but smile seeing her morning hair and sleepy eyes

"Morning"

"Good morning" she replied closing the book

"Looks appetizing" I sat in front of her at the big table "Why haven't you started?"

"I was waiting for you"

My heart fluttered, we began to eat breakfast in silence

"Perhaps-" I put down my fork "We can try to have affection?"

"Explain yourself" she left her cutlery

"This marriage doesn't have to be a nightmare, we can try Y/N"

"You know I disagree with our marriage, right?"

How not to know if you repeat it to me every hour?

"Yes"

"Well" she rolled her eyes "This isn't real"

"But it can be-"

"No way" she snorted and I started to get annoyed "No offense

"No offense?"

How do you want me not to be offended if you treat me like I am the nastiest woman you were forced to marry?

"Alycia, you are beautiful and you have more qualities... but I don't feel anything for you"

It is fine, do not give up, keep trying

"I'm just saying that-"

"No, Alycia" she interrupted me rudely "I will never be happy in this stupid marriage and I will never be able to feel anything towards you!"

"I already know it!" I got up from the table "I don't feel anything for you either Y/N but at least I'm trying to solve this"

"There is no need to see each other" she shrugged "It would be the best for both of us"

"You mean, each of us doing our own stuff separately"

"Yeah"  Y/N ate again "We don't need to see or talk to each other"

"Fine" I started to walk towards the exit "Whatever"

I hurried out into the garden as my fingernails dug into my palms, I let the tears out and lay down in the garden admiring the flowers

"How could I be so naive?" I rub my face with courage "I am in love my wife but I was foolish to believe that she can love me"

I met Y/N years ago, our parents are friends and associates, I grew up with Y/N, we may not be close friends but I know her, and she knows me. We saw each other at parties and dinners, we talked and suddenly I fell in love with her, her person, the way she acted, all of her

I can't deny that when I got the news that I had to marry her, I was a little happy, I was excited to find out that I would be her wife. Hers. She mine. But it was just an illusion
